As far as we know the "jamming" (if that is what it is) is only effecting the Naam system, equally the Loroi far-seers must have been able to pick up something, otherwise SG51 and it (less fortunate) fellows would presumably not been dispatched in the first place...

Indeed Tempo's description of the problem suggests that the far-seers are aware of the Umiak but cannot provide precise (at least to their normal standard) data on their numbers and dispositions. The Umiak are not invisible simple hard to pin down, only the crew of the Bell were undetected, otherwise the Loroi wouldn't even be in the system.

Doesn't look like there will be any need for diplomactic words.

I'm not sure about that, Still Storm might still be fuming from tempo's "interference" but this is a an usual situation

hi hi

This is usually the part where I'd make some kind of sage prediction about what is going to happen next, but honestly I haven't the foggiest clue. Is Stillstorm telling Tempo to back off, or just wait a second? Is she going to cut the comm link before the Umiak get a chance to speak? Is she going to tell them to leave or else?

"Is that bad?"
"Yes, very bad"

Is what I hear when I look at their expressions.

I feel as though we're missing a big part of what's going on in the story as the telepathic speech of the Loroi goes noticed, there might be secondary conversations and orders going on in the background we as the audience aren't privy too. I hope this changes later on.

I'm confused.

I guess I don't understand where this comment is coming from?

Judging by the looks on their faces, the Umiak just revealed something that is making everyone uncomfortable. Perhaps the Umiak are saying they will exchange prisoners for the wreckage? The Umiak did occupy a number of Loroi colonies early on in the war, when they were still treating it as a war of conquest and not a war of annihilation.

Alex might also be asking confirmation about something, from the look on his face.

I kind of think the Umiak attempting this kind of communication is uncomfortable enough to justify their expressions, at this juncture.

For want of a ship a war was fought.
And all for the want of a sandwich.
