Makes me wounder if things like a biological computer would be resistant or impervious to radiation interference like this.
Like the Alien ships from Prometheus / Alien Covenant.

Re: Miscellaneous Cast question-and-answer thread
I'm interested to know how many times the Loroi have lied to Alex, and specifically has Beryl lied to Alex?

Re: The Death Of The Heavy Scifi Battleship
You're making a lot of assumptions that warp missiles are even a thing. If they were, the society in question should be advanced enough to never need them. My understanding is that they are not a thing because of a certain Mass / Energy Ratio, along with durability. The energy required for jump is s...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
So have the Loroi developed psychic dampeners / containers as well? I'm thinking for suppression usages for something like prisoners, or for those that might be too acutely aware of their surroundings.

Re: Page 205: What does kKt mean?
I think there is a lot going on in terms of the Loroi trying to use their powers on Alex and it not working, both shown and hinted at.
Does Fireblade need to use her arms when using more telekinetic force than normal? Or is that kind of "The motion helps" sort of thing.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
What is the greatest gesture of respect that a non-psionic like Alex could do to impress the Loroi, especially if it is unexpected? Something that would make a Loroi feel honored. I'd imagine swearing an oath, that Alex would do everything within his power to convince his government to side with th...

Re: Page 202: WHY?
Anyone with sufficient PK power to lift her own weight can "fly" after a fashion in a gravity well, but in a microgravity environment any PK at all can be used as a meaningful thrust to take you where you want to go. Also, dead starships don't sink, so unless they explode outright, a ship can be de...

Even if they were detected, I'm assuming they are out of fuel anyway to make any difference in an escape attempt.

Re: Page 194: partial functionality
Well the Historian shouldn't be occupying Alex's time, drawing attention to both of them, if it wants to remain hidden and also keep Alex "safe" for the time being. I still have my doubts about the Historians in general. Not to necro an older thread but I have an opinion they are responsible for the...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
To be fair Alex is putting on an Alien space suit, perhaps the "zipper" is on the back.
I think this is going to make it very difficult for him to check up with the pocket Historian.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
I'm surprised that Alex didn't pick up on what spiral said on page 165. "The yarn is all woven. Dalid is Dalid" I find it eerily similar to our Greek Mythology on the three Fates . I'm curious if the Loroi have the word "Moirai" anywhere. Maybe one of the Fanficiton writers can weave it into one of ...

Re: Page 189: GO AWAY!
Not to throw a wrench in the "setup" but isn't Fireblade supposed to be "on watch"? Unless that was just a lie from Tempo. On a side tangent, has there been any indication as to "How far" in the future this is taking place from Alex's perspective? I'm willing to guess he might be talking to other Hu...
