Here's another few questions I've thought up: The blue-haired muscle with Fireblade is Reed, right? Since Talon is valuable as a year's survivor combat pilot needed to train a new generation of pilots, presumably Spiral would be as well. So is the shuttle's copilot Spiral? Are Reed, Talon and Spira...

Damn, it must feel cool to be a rocket scientist. They're really hamming it up, though, like they're sending humans on a prototype FTL jump.

The safir are a race of matriarchal, four-armed, blue-skinned, psionic elvenoids native to my worldbuilding project Safiria. I'm homebrewing them for Legend , 3.5e D&D , 4e D&D , 5e D&D , and I probably ought to port them to GURPS and BESM as well. (And before you ask, I first created them before I...

Why am I suddenly struck with the urge to run an RP where the loroi and my safir make first contact… :P Because the Loroi are a compellingly awesome race? What are the Safir? ..... Man, I wonder what they'd think of my Kiffix from Stellaris. .. I can only imagine those first-contact negotiations wo...

this all assumes internal dampening can even work in a planet's gravity well. it may just act as some sort of partial field drive...i.e. some kind of electromagnetic force that moves every atom on the ship at the same time That would constitute gravitic manipulation, and also a very acceptable star...

Now I'm thinking about it, how do Loroi of different castes get along in close quarters? Are the dorms/bunks segregated by caste, or would there be nothing weird about, say, Fireblade bunking with a mechanic, or Tempo bunking with a roboticist?

Alex was held in a secured detention area. The crew accommodations aboard Loroi warships are somewhat Spartan, and similar to that on submarines. Most crewmembers don't have their own private spaces, but instead sleep in the equivalent of bunk beds and share communal living spaces. Only the highest...

I dunno, I like the permanent record that a forum provides. Roll20 does have a permanent record, assuming you use text and the GM isn't an idiot and hits the clear chat log button. The former is a mighty large assumption. Better to have someone who can transcribe the voice chat. It's an easy assump...

Wow. Finally got to the end of this masterpiece. Thank You! Very much! I wish I was as imaginative and had the time to write.... Again, thank you! Heh. I'm not actually done - although I suppose Jardin having drove Fragile Storm to drink with his sanity-defying luck would be a decent point. But I s...

The problem is that the main engines are not suitable for atmospheric use; it would be kind of like using atomic rockets on Earth, a hazard both to the planet and the spacecraft. So, a vessel needs to have alternate or secondary atmosphere-safe engines (as shuttles do) to be able to operate in and ...

I couldn't find an answer to this with a brief forum search, though I may not have searched particularly intelligently. During his time aboard Tempest , was Alex held in some kind of brig cell/quarantine room/other form of containment cell, or was he held in crew quarters? If he was in the brig, wha...

sunphoenix: next time an Outsiderverse RP rolls around, you should bring Maiannon or another half-loroi.

And that's what sucks about Play by Post. I wholeheartedly endorse using Roll20.

Even if you must, don't stop writing. Make a fic of your own if you have to, so we can keep reading your glorious writing. (Suggestion: TdSmR.) :3 TdSmR? Anyway, if you want something else of mine to read, try the following: Bioluminescent Nights and Bioluminescent Dreams are Avatar fanfic, (James ...

saint of m, I'm not sure if that PM I sent actually went through - I think it's stuck in drafts mode somehow. Would you like me to stop writing? It was never my intention to usurp your character or turn a series of comic vignettes into a serious drama, but that's the kind of thing I like to write, s...

I hate to say it, but this seems pretty simple to me, for a value of simple that by no means equates to "easy." The Umiak probably have keyed in that the Loroi are telepathic, what with invading Loroi worlds and dealing with stiff resistance thereon. Aaaand they probably figured out that telepathy r...

Are Loroi corvettes capable of atmospheric flight and landing? It seems like they should be - they're pretty small, they don't carry any shuttlecraft of their own, and they'd have a vaguely aerodynamic shape. The problem is that the main engines are not suitable for atmospheric use; it would be kin...

Hours later, Fragile Storm was seated at her desk. Jardin stood rigidly at attention in front of her desk, still wearing his dress uniform, eyes locked straight ahead, over her head, at a point on her wall. She had her answers now, and she was angry. She knew it was irrational to be angry under the ...

1,651 days after first contact with Humanity. Commodore Fragile Storm was, loathe though she was to admit it, forced to concede that the unimaginatively-named homeworld of humanity was a nice enough planet. The weather was comfortably tolerable to her way of mind - indeed, where they had been direct...
