Beryl: starts crying "I don't want to go!!!!"
Fireblade: Good lord, not this crap again

Actually that stuff on the right is from Fireblade's GURPS sheet, not Beryl's.

Sorry, I should have made that clear.

That's Fireblade's sheet, not Beryl's.

Yep. I think that's probably where we're going to get the answer about what exactly happened to Fireblade during the occupation.

Doesn't the Insider mention that Greywind's flagship serves as a mobile Imperial capital?

Is Alex going to meet the Queen Bitch of the Universe?

From what we know of the Loroi that would be an accomplishment deserving special note.

Not unless Alex is at least 172 years old and has lifetime season tickets for the Cleveland Indians.

(inb4 Greywind in an Indians uniform :P)

During wartime yes.

That's a bit harsh, we don't know much about her personality yet, she could be pleasant.

IIRC Greywind is going to make an appearance in Chapter 3, given the fact that we've had probably less than an hour of on screen time so far I wouldn't be surprised to find that Chapter 3 starts before they arrive at their destination, so it's certainly possible.

Idea:

We know Fireblade was on Seren during the Umiak occupation. It is almost certain that she was part of the resistance, as virtually every Loroi resisted the Umiak, and was either traumatized/injured/mutilated in such a way as to deprive her of her voice.

"Jardin" is a French name. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Jardin :P ) Perhaps Alex has ancestors who fought as part of the French Resistance? Could serve as a bonding-point. (Let's just hope none of Alex' ancestors were members of the Vichy Regime...)

well now I'm curious, we have fireblade's stats, but what about the stats for the rest of the fearsome four? As for the upcoming shuttle scene, I think the extras also said that for the first few chapters Tempo and Beryl would do most the talking for the Loroi, so i imagine Tempo will either be joining them in the shuttle too or (more likely) is already at the destination. As for them getting separated from the ship, that will probably happen later, after all Reed said they had to refit and restock the ship, which i imagine would take a couple days at least and that would probably be at least a few strips from now (unless we start doing flash forwards), maybe that will be how Chapter 2 ends?

We have sheets for Fireblade and Beryl and even those are supposedly out-of-date. The rest of the sheets are being carefully hoarded.
