Spoilered for size.

Page 200, long time coming but it's finally here!

Unless computer technology is increasing exponentially over a period of a few years (which I don't think it will be at this tech level), computer cryptography should be able to create keys which are essentially uncrackable by computers of the same tech level within a practical time period (like the...

It would be absurd to think that the Loroi are exchanging messages in the clear during a battle. Of course they are encrypted. There's no way the Loroi would use inter-ship communications the way they have been if they had any notion that the enemy could read them. Enemy detectors can probably tell...

Nothing that Clearbrook or Gora Relay have transmitted towards Highland-7 contains any useful information about the shuttle itself. Page 131, panel 2 : Look around you Arrir. The only priority right now is the response to this offensive. Extinct nations have no need for embassies. I would say that ...

Useful during a war but really bad for anything else.

I wonder did the Umaki pick up all the radio transmission and begin actively looking for this shuttle? Basic communication interception and deciphering should be par of the norm for both combatants. Depending on how their transmissions are done the Umiak could physically intercept the transmissions...

Hmm, either the Umiak have good scanners, or have been hinted at where to look. Or their Lotai devices allowed them to locate Sanzai as well. Or their monomaniacal natures being what they are someone realized that the shuttle could fit through the gap of the station's outer ring and as thus could s...

Im curious why the buoy didnt pick up on that formation.

It's probably just a message/relay buoy; without something in the system to provide new input then it only repeats the data last inserted into its system.

So they crashed this plane, with no survivors?

A big girl survived.

So does this mean the vials they were transporting got smashed as well? Or was this just extremely well planned to make it look like an accident, but nothing was lost, any no one died? Will be covered in a later installment so I spoil it for reader discretion: Captain Ambrosia did warn both Alexand...

Thanks, got it and a few other errors fixed. Seems that I have acquired a nasty habit of eating words lately.

Someone could easily see why I had to scrap my initial plan on how to proceed forward from the previous entry. An 'in media res' break combined with an 'investigation hearing' trope is a large leap but one that better serves what I have in mind in regards with the story. If I had this idea from the ...

Chapter 6, part 2 “Ambassador Shadewater, please remind your aide that this is a hearing, not a trial and that your presence here is due to the Confederation’s courtesy to the Union for the Loroi civilians involved and not due to any legal reasons. If the Union has any questions and comments you ca...

Oh, I partially remember this one; they translate them as 'mob rule'.

Some questions for the time being! :D Will we have some Umiak-tier Bioexperimentation on some TOP SECRET Area-51? Will we get Human Psykers and Navigator/farseer equivalent? Does Humanity find any Soia-Liron Artefacts after the Great war? Do they put them to good use? Will Daemons/Warp entities be ...

I was watching "I won't let you down" by OK Go, and it brought up a question. Would loroi be better at choreography than humans/non-telepathic species? I don't think so. Dancers have to memorize their moves to perform them in sync... being told telepathically would still cause a delay that would pu...

I don't see what the benefit would be. Population is of little use without the equipment in an interstellar conflict, and industry and tech are unlikely to follow the same exponential growth. In an economic environment increased demand always results in increased supply thus population growth resul...

Arguably the best way to overcome both of the main combatants in terms of trained and capable personnel would be population expansion policies combined with a militarized slant in both the basic and high education systems during peace time; both of which would allow for a large pre existing pool of...

@dragoongfa Don't follow along with MK_C's wild theories. He'll bring up any eventuality to muddy any comparison he doesn't like. Yes, warfare is more complicated than smashing people into each other. But at some point we'll have to assume a theoretical equal footing to gauge the difference the rep...

Realistically, an entire generation of humans would be spend on that victory. Now what would stop the Loroi from coming back 20 or even just ten years later for round two? Oh, any number of things. Literally too many to list all the possibilities - from internal conflict, to lack of political will,...
