Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path

Reminded me "ancient" scifi book of humans entering another moon/planet covered by ice/water. One of the scientist was attacked and being eated by alien shark. To surprise for most, especially to the sharklien, our biochemistry was so alien, that humans were actually poisonous to them and it died h...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path

Well, if Fireblade does not understand what is going on, in spite of the fact that she was apparently ordered to connect to him, then Alex may be more powerful than she is mentally, and could even be in control of the process, even though he isn't consciously aware of it. It would be amusing if Hum...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path

It would be amusing if Humans turned out to be the precursor species. That’s kind of the premise of the humans of the Halo universe. My memories of the game serie are a bit fuzzy, but humans were more or less the chosen race to succeed the actual Precursors, and the Forerunners didn't like that. Th...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path

The problem with ascribing motives to Fireblade re: Jardin is that we the readers are not privy to sanzai, and Fireblade doesn't speak. We, as well as he, could be badly misinterpreting her actions and reactions toward him. We don't know because, again, she doesn't speak. Loroi seem like us, but th...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path

The best outcome right now would be Alex learning how to connect mentally to the Loroi. That has the potential, I think, to transform Humanity from "Inherent Threat" to "Honorary Pink Loroi" pretty quickly, but time and story will tell. Problem is, the one Loroi whom Alex seems to have some resonan...

“I’m coming for you, Ben,” she vowed. “I swear I’m coming to get you. I’m sorry I lied about going to Earth. But your heart was so set on it. But I promise I’m going to get you back. Then we can be a family again.” I cannot even imagine Ben's reaction after discovering what his mom has been doing t...

Re: Deliverance

Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe Eternal Endurance is not merely running an "illegal adoption agency". In fact she may be trying to find out the secrets of human lotai just like the Emperor, but by using kidnapped children as test subjects Mengele style.

Re: Wind and Fire

I wonder if the main reason some Loroi have no appreciation for humans and aliens art and music, is because they lack the ability for abstract thinking.

Would y'all get your minds out of the gutter? I didn't say anything about lesbians and whatnot, you have watched way too much porn. Who says that Alex likes cute girls, maybe he's more into buff ones. After all, he is somewhat interested in Fireblade, and she might have similarly fringe preferences...

What do the umiak do for torture?
They make you listen to Umiak opera.
Until they discover human Internet, that is.

Re: What Is Your Favorite Comicbook Character and Why?

While it's technically a graphic novel, it's still a comic book to me: Maika Halfwolf from Monstress by Marjorie Liu. She is kickass, fearless and, despite the fact she is suffering from a terrible curse that threatens to devour her loved ones, presses on. Sadly I'm having trouble getting an image ...

Re: Expedition

I feel the same about the exchange with Kasham. Like watching an episode of Lower Decks. Look at it this way: the group met a wagie from a hyper advanced, tech level 15 civilization who went for a drive in his car in the weekend to get away from his nagging wife for a few hours and he's going back ...

Re: Expedition

Done. I hope. Awaiting your verdict. I'm honored by the trust you placed in me. No idea whether it's justified, but here I go. 1. You should differentiate speech and sanzai. Why not make the latter cursive ? 2. The intermissions did make it better. However, the whole exchange with Kasham is still a...

Re: Wind and Fire

That girl, Edge, is a bit stupid, though. Does she also think that the electricity simply comes out of the outlet in the wall? I have the feeling a lot of adult Loroi think more or less the same way. Like in any caste system, the uppers just feel entitled to the benefits provided by their "lessers"...

To think Grey has to convince herself Ben must have some hidden power to make her act that way, because the idea of being a nurturing mother is both alien and scary.

I'm going to disagree... but don't worry, I won't stop being your friend. Anyway, all the points made about the Umiak are correct, but the Loroi ain't exactly fluffy puppies. All the points made above about the Loroi are also true (militaristic, imperialistic, genocidal, etc.) but I wouldn't call t...

Re: Outsider humor thread

Fireblade is kind of a mistery right now, because her vow of silence and neither Alex or readers being privy to her telepathic conversations.

All we know is that she doesn't trust the alien, and is unhappy with her reassignment.
