What would happen if, for example, Beryl got pregnant and had a son? Does she belong to some kind of family that would then have the male as their charge, or would she have charge of him? (Ie, have to set up mating calls and whatnot)

Oh, I agree with that, I'm just saying that in terms of a culture clash I'd prefer the more ridiculous.

Quiet, man-thing! Stow that penis and comport yourself under the staircase where your cave-dwelling kind belongs, lest you molest some woman!

This is totally different from the sexual dynamics of human pairings, where males have to court females and females often reject many males before choosing the one they like. This does not happen in Loroi society at all, as far as I am aware. Both sexes are used to getting on with it whenever they ...

Depends on what he is thinking at the moment, military stuff would get an obvious pass but basic male... thoughts about the Loroi themselves? Most men would be awestruck by a Loroi and the Loroi don't seem to be prudes to react negatively when a male is physically attracted to them. Now there are s...

If they ever became privy to his thoughts about them they'd probably wish they hadn't.

Do the loroi actually have any 300m vessels with plasma beams? Seems to be a lot more of those among the umiak.

Because it wouldn't make for a compelling story, in my opinion. I have more faith in Arioch than that. I am also hedging toward the Historians, but maybe not as strongly as some. In my opinion, I/We don't know enough about the Loroi to rule out a faction or some other ally being responsible. CJSF T...

Blind guess, mostly. AFAIK only three races have plasma focus weapons: the Loroi, the Umiak and the Historians. Of them, the Historians are by far the most advanced, so a rudimentary "stealth" on their ship (allowing to escape detection by the fighting Loroi/Umiak fleets and Bellarmine herself) is ...

I bet the Loroi prefer twitter followers, but sometimes you have to take what comes.... But soon the tactical discussions will start on how and why "The Stray" is doing this... Me hopes we'll find out soon what that single Human can mean to the Loroi. This week, on "Outsider"; Alex will stand in fr...

You're damn right, Riemann. It's vertical slabs all the way down.

TFW I want to be a Loroi now. (And not just because I'm a dude, waka-waka.)

Can water actually be wet, though?

Mars will rise!

How does the age that Loroi are able to reach impact their technological advancement? On the one hand it would surely allow gifted scholars to have long careers. On the other, some advancements (at least in human society) have come about only once the old guard died off, more or less.

Is it grammatically correct in English to ask "Can you not?" instead of "Can't you read?" Or is it again wired Loroi (lack of) grammar? I don't use contractions for Loroi speech; it's a stylistic thing to help differentiate how they and Alex talk. "Can't" is a contraction for "can not", so just rem...

the Real plot is who benefits from the Loroi-Umiak war? [...] who did not want humanity to contact either the Umiak or the Loroi [...] who destroyed the Bellarmarine [...] and Why do they fear humanity contacting either species. Don't worry, we've got our best man on the job. https://media.giphy.co...

So, page 120 comes out, then this "blaze it".

Fan theory Beryl sure has a lot of ultreior motives for a species really bad with ulterior motives. I'm sort of starting to like the idea of Alex' situation being like a hot french exchange student who's accidentally ended up at a school for boys or a boy's summer camp and now the wolves are circli...

The other reason is that the great wasteland is where all loroi frat parties take place.
