Wait, do male Loroi have better control of their bodies than human men? Wouldn't that be useless, even harmful from evolutionary point of view? Better to err on other side, having an erection when no sex, rather that failing to perform when there is occasion to do so (even if unwillingly...). 1. It...

The story so far suggests that Humanity's potential contribution to the Loroi is intimately connected to its immunity to Sanzi and perhaps its ability to block it. This might say something about Humanity's place in the Galactic History. A more bold (and less certain) possibility is the Humanity are ...

ice: war has always been an economical equation, unless it's collective insanity. sadly the people responsible for doing those calculations are often enjoying dyscalculia(having problems understanding math), sad but true. Dyscalculia isn't just "having problems understanding math." It is much more ...

I suspect it is the Historians who are the direct descendents of the Soia, rather than the Loroi. They probably find the Loroi thinking they themselves are the heirs to the Soia both humorous and annoying, by turns.

This is the image. Greywind hunched like Atlas, crown knocked slightly askew, hands supporting Talon's thighs/buttocks, snarling looking up at an angle. Talon, legs draped around Greywind's neck, crossed in the front at the ankles, slightly hunched drawing on a Wacom. Squinting with tongue stuck ou...

This has probably been addressed before, so feel free to point me to the answer, but how exactly would Bellarmine have gotten intelligence that "alien activity" was likely in the Naam system? Or was it just the Steppes in general (but the Orgus couldn't have known about that, since they were from th...

OK, not even a spare CHAIR?

So.. looking at Chapter 2 again, and I have to ask. They've kept humaniti's top (ok, only) diplomat in an unfurnished cell for over a week? Are there really no spare acommodations, or at least a cot they could throw in?

CJSF

Please do not ask the glorious author to do anything that would detract from his production of his art. You wouldn't consider a picture of Talon in Greywind's lap a piece of art? :twisted: You have still much to learn about artists, youn'padawan... I have to agree with Grayhome. And no, I wouldn't ...

I've read every Insider page like 10 times now, and scoured the forum... OH GOD THE WAIT THE AGONY!!

'hem... we now return to your regularly scheduled web comic, already not in progress.

AAAAHHH!!!!

Arioch, I realize you are mapping three dimensions to two, but based on the Steppes map, it looks like the Bellarmine had to cross through the edge of either Umiak or Loroi territory to get to Naam. Would those fringe systems have some sort of auto-beacon to detect ships jumping in or out? Could who...

Yes, that subtext is very apparent, it was just that there seemed to be even another layer in there beyond that. In any case, great job!

CJSF

One of the great things about this comic (sorry if this seems obvious to anyone) is how well it's drawn. I feel the facial expressions, with a few exceptions, really seem to convey meaning to the dialog and story. Arioch, you do a superb job, if I am not misinterpreting what I see. One thing I seem ...

Arioch, you've mentioned that the Orgus are "three-limbed". Do you mean 3 total limbs or 3 legged (and presumably have 2 arms)? I am having trouble picturing them beyond the image of them in the prologue.

One of the galactic maps shows the approximate location of the Well of Souls near Historian space and the Umiak. Is this going to play any role in the story, or is it just there as an "Ooh, neat, look, there is a Well of Souls there!" type of thing? http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/images/local_bub...

That makes sense. I was thinking that even the narrator, at that point, only knew what the Orgus refugee's told them, but in the bigger context, I can see what you mean. Thanks for clearing that up.

CJSF

Arioch, Some clarification, if you can: In panel 1, it says: The Orgus were a peripheral race that had tried to stay out of the conflict, but this attempt failed when the Umiak devastated and occupied their homeworld. (emphasis is mine) In the Insider notes you say: What they would have in common is...

Have the Loroi thought about what will happen when (if) the war ends in their favor? They've basically had a generations long war, gearing their entire economy and society toward that endeavor. Then what? Somewhat relatedly, are we going to see any evidence of contemporary Loroi (or other races) art...

I was looking at the concept artwork for the Terran spacecraft and was puzzled. Given our level of digital displays today it seems odd that Terran ships would not also have protected "bridges" well inside the ship with a super-definition display. Or can we just not ever resist a window seat, even in...
