Alex definitely doesn't have luck meeting aliens face to face.

Outsider meets Lackadaisy?

This was it, then: the true final death of the Soia Empire.

But perhaps the birth of the Loroi Empire.

Races in the galaxy: "We are free!"

Loroi: "Oh, I wouldn't say free. More like under new management."

So, depending of how much they know....could it be that Shells have a VERY good reason to be pissed out at the self-proclaimed heirs of the Soia, and try to stop their expansion?

I'm impressed with Greywind pulling Vetinari Job Security as the means to remain in charge.

Still I think they collectively underestimate both the Confederacy and humanity resistance to be "domesticated" by Loroi.

"Ben,” Greywind’s voice was full of dread. “What have you done?”

Oh no, your majesty. Don't blame the human kid for the mess YOU and your team have created.

Congratulations ! The experiment was a success. You got what you asked for (albeit maybe not you you meant to )

Greywind asked, >Tempo, is there a problem?<

>Yes, Azerein. Ben has been injured.<

Time to test Greywind's newfound mommy bear instincts.

"As an online discussion about humor grows longer, the probability of a Monty Python reference approaches 1.":)


Do Loroi care that much about grammar? I assumed they consider spoken and written language secondary to Sanzai.

Humanity is superior...because we do drugs.
I admit, that's something I never found before in sci-fi.

Again, there is a reason most animals have their brain inside the head: proximity to sensory apparatus and thus quicker response to stimulus.

Let me guess, at some point Rainlash will make a very ill-advised comment or move regarding Ben, and Greywind will react accordingly to her newfound motherly impulses..

That would explain the odd interest in Alex, and Beryl being uncomfortable with both of them getting touchy.

One wonder the Senzai chat between them.

For what little we have seen, I can actually believe Stillstorm being pretty austere and avoiding excessive luxuries despite her rank.

I wonder how the human governments are analyzing and preparing themselves for the upcoming war. Loroi seem very outspoken about humanity being nothing but beasts and, for some of them, pets just waiting for a leash under a firm Loroi's hand. Wouldn't be a shame if Eternal Endurance's activities were...

Complements to Arioch... you did good there with the alien way of speech... Yes. 114 is one of my favourite pages, both for the dialogue and the art. It wouldn't work nearly as well if Talon spoke standard English. I know this has been discussed before, but why was Beryl bothered by the handshake? ...

Suddenly I have the image of Tempo as Lelouch, using her Geas to order Shells: "execute each other!"

I think the Earth government realizes that if a blind, fleeing ship of refugees can stumble on them then an organized military force possibly pursuing those refugees can find them.

A good point. Again, Alex is just following orders and hoping for the best.

Wonderful, thank you.

I wouldn't want to be in Alex' situation and explain them about Human physiology and psychology right now.

Similar to male Loroi, actually.
Except that, according to Beryl, they require frequent mating encounters.

Yeah, it's a pity we're not going forward with a unified Europe. Vive l'Europe! Instead we're seeing Europe getting more and more egocentrical, and blaming the European Union for everything. (While taking the good things as having being their own.) The UK used to do so, and that mentality culminate...
