Is sharing in someone else's dream, or dreaming together a phenomenon Loroi experience among their own kind?

Have the Loroi encountered worlds as bio-diverse as Earth?

Is it possible that when Humans sleep the "Mask" we have might fade and the Loroi can "see" his dreams. Might require more than just a human at rest given how much time Reed spent outside his door with him sleeping in solitary. The "Mask" seems more like something that requires focus to lower which...

Well spotted!

Oh, hey, what if the amplifier connections are what allowed Alex to "see" Fireblade back when he was doing his best zen thing?

Aha! So it is a connection for her amplifier!

Let it burn down to embers at least.

On a separate note, I'm guessing that they didn't normally take the Seii into action with them as it probably would've been vaporized or simply not recovered if they had. When there are only two left and both are crewing the same shuttle for a possibly long duration assignment there's less of a ris...

I find it interesting how close an touchy feely Spiral and Talon are... in contrast to the rest of the Loroi. If I had to guess, it almost looks like they are engaged in courtship rituals. It's the galaxy's most careful game of "I'm not touching you" , as the Loroi sit close enough to share body he...

So, was Spiral stealing a little bit of luck from Alex, when she asked him to hold onto the blade for a moment just then?

A prelude to a tag of war perhaps?

I could almost imagine this as a "silent" panel, with Talon and Beryl talking and reacting to each other through sanzai, just based on the nonchalant expression on Alex's face.

luck/fortune is luck/fortune Though weaving fortune sounds very reminiscent of the Moirai of Greek mythology: https://www.greekmythology.com/Other_Gods/The_Fates/the_fates.html Alex is going to have to learn to act natural, because once he's out of this tense shuttle situation, he can't stay tight l...

It's all shades of grey I'd wager, but from the perspective of Humanity the Loroi are the unquestionably better choice -- so long as they win.

I am so waiting for 165 and 166 to see where this is going.... Hopefully Alex remembers to act surprised when the rescue happens, or he's going to invite a whole lot of suspicion. That said, waiting in a drifting shuttle seems like a potential moment for a time skip story wise, so we may wind up se...

In that case keeping a historian tag-along a secret is turning out to be an increasingly bad idea. Perhaps even a trap? As I see it, for the pocket Historian to be a good idea it either has to: 1) Be of life/death value. 2) Be of diplomatic value. And on top of either of those conditions, it has to...

If Talon, Spiral, Beryl, and apparently now Cloud are getting into hijinks-mode so soon after unrestricted access to Alex, then just imagine how much of the soon-to-be-happening nonsense poor Reed must have had to shield Alex from to maintain his solitary confinement. I wonder if humans carry a para...

Could the " You are in grave personal danger " have something to do with the current sleeptime ceremony? (I'm asking for a friend.) If it turns out that the Historians don't have the best grasp of Loroi behavior towards their males and their whole covert effort to contact Alex was a mistake, that w...

This begs the question about his underwear, if he only got one set, what do he wear when it's in the cleaner? They managed to clean his coverall after all but he got a t-shirt and some briefs as well. Assuming he didn't just go commando until his cosmo-nickers were returned from cleaning, maybe Ber...

Oh no, a terrible thought -- how cold must Loroi extremities get? Let's hope for Alex's sake that thermal lining works well or he may get quite the jolt when someone decides to warm up their icy digits on him.
