EXCELLENT! "The TYRANT'S LAMENT"~ "Oh WHY does not everyone understand the burdens that beset ME on all sides?!? Can they not see that all MY efforts are to enforce unyielding order in the face of their criminal laziness and mendacity?!? I must bear the toil and effort of beating them all into subm...

As requested, a bit of Opalstorm simmering in the tiny brig aboard Swiftwind . ====== Torrai Sormimi Risot-Soni, whose spoken name was properly rendered as Opalstorm, was in a state approximating shock. She had not had a good day. Indeed, this was, quite possibly, the worst day of her life. She rubb...

Thinking about it, it would probably be fun seeing a bit from Opal's perspective. Sitting there in the brig trying to figure out what the heck just happened to her. Hrn... Yeah, I could swing that. I set that up basically to show that five years of war amongst the Loroi have turned Jardin into some...

Although I see the (flawed) logic behind the Loroi fighter concept the whole concept of nimbleness falls flat when it comes in contact with the concept of the turret and AMM missile combo. No matter how fast or nimble a fighter may be a turret and an AMM missile will be able to track the fighter wi...

I have this nagging feeling that Opalstorm just succeeded in her mission, that is her real mission, not the one she was ordered to do. Stillstorm is hard but fair but Opalstorm is just an ass that probably should never have been promoted. How do you stop an undeserving rank climber without a proper...

Well, what's the email address I should share this folder with?

So I'll ask again~ Shadowdragon.. can I put in my "little" story now... I have just the intro from your last post perfectly in mind? :) Sure, just, can I have a read-over first before you toss it up? Actually, would you like me to share the text file I've been using in my Dropbox so you can write a...

Though, do bear in mind that Opalstorm is very definitively a very unreasonable officer. She's Stillstorm's daughter, so she's trying to live up to the legend of a living legend. She's quite young for her rank, too; she's been over-promoted because of her mother. She's been raised in the same ultra-...

That'd make it more like Moby Dick, then - only, Moby won't give them the fair chance to be speared that the Delrias gave them, he just dumps an endless torrent of munitions and point-defenses at them, the cowards. Net result is still the same: No opportunity for the fighter pilot to go and gain gl...

"There was a young boy whose father was mighty Viking warrior," Jardin said. "He cared for his family by providing for them by any means necessary; if it meant he had to perform hard labor like an ox, he labored with the tireless strength of ten men; if it meant he had to board a longboat and sail f...

Well, they've certainly become a close-nit group. Tends to happen when you cram a whole bunch of folks into close proximity to one another and put them through the meat-grinder. That, or they wind up hating one another, but the close-knitting is usually more fun. Is there anywhere I can read this w...

Eh, the idea that the Umiak even had an opportunity to brainwash that many and well-distributed of Loroi was dubious itself, so no big change. Besides, assuming that all three of them were Teidar is understandable, I did it myself. They do seem to have a penchant for pulling plot-token-screwing tri...

Opps sorry ..I meant docking bay..duh! And the tale of the Cydonia only starts about 3 years ago.. the Argent Fire only had vague references of the way to earth and was effectively searching for about two years, before running across a patrol of Umiak Frigates and getting chased into meeting the Cy...

Sounds interesting - though again, not an orbital port. Corvette dry-docks on the surface of the moon, where small ships can easily launch and land with their maneuvering thrusters. That is, Corvette by Loroi standards, these docks are just over 200m long and can support England -class destroyers. B...

As always ...these stories entertain IMMENSELY! I wonder what Ensign Kelly's reaction will be when she learns of Alex Jardin's.. er numerous grey purple-skinned, half-Loroi children? :) That could be the subject of another series of your Stories - "Jardin's Children"... ;) That was a very amusing a...

Coming into this conversation way late, but I'd love a portrait, ship, name list and logo pack for the Loroi. I need my blue space elves. You may be in partial luck: I mentioned that very thing to someone who was doing a space elves edit of humans, linked Outsider. Apparently he binged Outsider in ...

Stupid 60,000 character post limit... ========= Talon brought up a holo-pane above the console with a zoom-view from the shuttle's sensors, and flicked the projection over to him; he pulled it into place, zooming in on northern California; finding the San Fansisco-Sacramento Metropolitan Area was ea...

I've been writing a lot, hoooo boy. I've got about twice this much written, but the rest isn't ready to be thrown up yet, and I'm going to bed, so... And yes, I did calculate the date, and the position of the moon at 2:00 PM EST. Sunday, January 20th, 2165; 1,651 days after first contact between the...

Oh, I thought she was Teidar... I think I've been under a misapprehension. I thought Soroin were "ship staff," and Teidar were Marines. Are Teidar exclusively the Unsheathed, and Soroin can be non-Unsheathed soldiers? Teidar and Unsheathed are the same thing. There are not very many of them, especi...

The blue-haired muscle with Fireblade is Reed, right? Reed is the blue-haired Soroin in combat armor who has been beside Fireblade from page 98 to the present. If that's who you mean, then yes. Oh, I thought she was Teidar... I think I've been under a misapprehension. I thought Soroin were "ship st...
