Im sorry guys, but I have to share. I have this image of Greywind holding pokeballs shouting "GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL" while chasing Alex.

EDIT: I mean mental image. I have no renderings of said image.

I could try but it wouldn't have color, and probably wouldn't be pretty.

Will the art of lishranen ever be elaborated upon, at least in the Insider if not in the comic itself?

No current plans for it, but you never know.

Despite having resigned to the position of lurker I would like to formally request some New Years Fan Service. Please?

You have to be more specific than that, otherwise we will wind up with Mozin in a thong.

Bollocks to all that!

Ashrain x Tempo.

We demand it. It is demanded. :3

Also, what is the proper form of address for the Loroi Emperor?

Also, what is the proper form of address for the Loroi Emperor?

Greywind's formal title is Geit Loroi Azerein Ramarinzil ("Fourth Loroi Emperor Greywind"). She can be addressed verbally in a variety of ways, but this is not especially important, as most Loroi in her presence will not be addressing her verbally, but rather using telepathy.

Does time and entropy still take place in Hyperspace, and Negative-Hyperspace?

Nevermind the fact that successful jumps are near instantaneous to the perceptions of those utilizing it, but does time and entropy still occur?

Could it be a dimension that secretly houses some bizarre creatures that cannot interact with exotic foreign entities that use it as a means of travel? With a different sense of time than us of course.

Spess Horror Story Tiem: To the hyperspace entities, we become artifacts that cannot be "normally" interacted with, that take eons to dissipate. Unless, when a jump drive hiccups "in-between" jumps and some of the crew become unprotected. To the bewilderment of the crew, "magically" disappear after the FTL Jump.

Matter can exist in hyperspace, but since matter in hyperspace is still affected gravitationally by objects in realspace, most matter in hyperspace will eventually be sucked back into realspace. It is unlikely that hyperspace has any matter of its own, since such matter would also fall towards realspace (and we don't periodically see stars or planetoids appearing out of nowhere). Also, the gravitational interaction between matter in realspace and hyperspace goes both ways, so if there were "native" masses in hyperspace, they would cause noticeable perturbations in masses in our universe, and perhaps even occasionally liberate objects into hyperspace. So it's equally unlikely that life -- as we know it -- could arise in hyperspace.

Time is a property of space, and so hyperspace-time will behave differently than space-time. Objects are able to move faster than the speed of light, but there is still time of a sort, with passage of time, causality, and entropy.

If there were to arise some kind of exotic ether-beings in hyperspace, it's not clear how they might interact with us. Beings from realspace are blind while in hyperspace (as light waves don't propagate the same way), so the only way to interact with other objects in hyperspace is to actually bump into them... but ether beings, having no mass, can't even do that. All they could do is wave as we pass by... assuming that they are even able to detect our presence.

Negative-hyperspace is an unknown quantity. Theoretically it is similar to hyperspace, but with many properties inverted. It does seem possible for matter to become trapped in negative-hyperspace, but since it's very hard to get in and seemingly impossible to get out, there's not much possibility for interacting with whatever nasty beings might be there.

How does a loroi soldier put on her uniform? Does it zip up, button up, suction itself on like the plug suits in Evangelion, or something else entirely (if so, what)?

Loroi armor is a flexible material that is usually in mostly one piece, and opens along a seam that runs down the right side of the body. This seam is visible intermittently in a few places in the comic; you can see it on Tempo's right shoulder in pages 61, 62, 64, 68, and 70, Ashrain's and Arclight's right shoulders in page 73, Ashrain's shoulder in page 83, and in two panels on Stillstorm's shoulder on page 84.

There is a forthcoming scene in which Loroi remove their armor, in which you'll get a better look at how the process works.

You tease.


Poor Alex.

I wonder if were gonna get another line where he mentions how amazing the similarities are.

Don't get too excited, folks. Removing armor, not their clothing.
