Re: Happy Independence Day

I'm European (Spaniard) as well, and always perceived American patriotism with a certain level of...apprehension. It was no long ago, historically speaking, since we had a military dictatorship here. To the point that those who openly and publicly make such shows of devotion to the motherland are o...

How 'bout you just don't intend to have a firefight in the MAGAZINE , Beryl? Ordnance Storage is not "oh, good hiding spot" it's "we need to GTFO right now."

Re: Substitute Alex For Other Well Known Scifi Human Characters... Do They Do Better Or Worse?

Commander Susan Ivanova would be hilarious.

She'd probably get along great with Tempo, and be bar-wrecking gal-pals with Fireblade. Their friendship starting when Susan doesn't hesitate a bit before folding Fireblade up on her fist in response to Fireblade's equally undiplomatic TK push.

Are those laser weapons he has or dud rifles I see no actions, ejection ports or safety on the human guns. You're also looking at the left side of the rifle. Shooters tend to not like getting hot brass to the face. :lol: There's no ejection port; the ammunition is caseless. The selector and safety ...

Re: Page 187: CRUNCH

Or, Alex is pinging off all the Loroi he's in skin to skin contact with, and some of their memories and experiences are bleeding through. Which his mind would pick up and try to subconsciously try to make sense of with images he's at least partially familiar with. Essentially dragging Alex into a ni...

Re: Pages 185-186: Really Weird Dreams!

I'll say Alex is either pinging off a couple of the girls, proving his psi sensitivity while in a REM state and experiencing one of their memories, or he's having a nightmare based on his fears of what might happen to Earth.

Re: 182

I'm willing to bet that humans aren't as psi-blind as we've been thinking, just that it takes a certain amount of focus to be receptive. Or maybe a level of calm.

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)

I created a forums account just to post this. Been a lurker for years and truly enjoy the comic. Thank you for this great piece of work :D. Is it possible that when Humans sleep the "Mask" we have might fade and the Loroi can "see" his dreams. That's the impression i got from the WIP of young Jardi...

Re: Page 170: What I fear...

Being of a military backgorund himself, It's quite possibly Alex has seen what that loss of youthful courage looks like. The dull-eyed and cynical soldier that's lost every iota of idealism they had, and filled the hole with jaded fatalism as they step into just another day in the Army? Already dead...

Re: Page 160: Hold this

This does make me wonder about something that's crossed my mind before. The human brain is in a very different state when it's undergoing REM sleep. We don't know what's going on with it, but the leading theory is that REM is the brain's "cleanup mode" where it undergoes what is effectively messy da...

Also, page 143. I am really liking the lighting and the non-standard viewing angles on the various silent participants. Behind the head and slightly from below isn't an easy angle to pull off. I sort of cynically assumed that might be why Beryl put her hair up. That or it's something she does to ge...

Re: Page 134: For Science!

We do have very long lasting legends, suppositions, and even official studies into psychic activity, after all. My guess is that humans aren't entirely psi-blind. Just very non-sensitive, to the point that "regular" loroi can neither contact or sense us. Psionic battering rams like Fireblade, though...

Re: Page 130: Gotta Go Fast

My prediction, and I will laugh my ass off if it comes true, is that the Loroi Navy is screwed. They'll have to fall back to a smaller front and end up cut off from their allies, effectively entering into a seige situation around their core systems. Cut off, the main characters end up having to trus...

How large is a bug's division? It varies, but a typical Umiak division is around 75 vessels. Quoting Captain Obvious, "this is bad, isn´t"? :? Only so-so. They're attacking over a broad front with, in all honestly, a force too small to seize and hold territory. They can cause a shitload of damage, ...
