I'm working on a more detailed map, but it's a challenge because of the 3D nature of it... it's hard to display clear views.

I'm having a hard time orienting myself regarding where everything would be on a starmap though. I have tried piecing together things from the comic and the insider, but it's not helping me much. Even trying to translate with the Loroi trade-alphabet, I can't seem to match the maps seen in the comi...

Okay given the conversations happening is it even possible the Historians could have a weapon system this far out? Also it is right the lorori show a lot of racist traits with their telepathy. Is not as much racism as a consequence of their telepath culture. Loroi don't (most simply cannot) hide an...

That is what I figure based on the previous display seen on page 123. The green path from page top to page right I think is the escape vector of the Black Razor to Enedd. Interesting that the supply depot is still intact on the Azimol vector. I was also wondering about the icons on the Azimol vecto...

<Some things> If you were an intelligence that picked up English by reading through everything in a ship's databanks, rather than being "taught" was is and is not proper English, I think you'd pick up at lot of idiom and even humor just as part of the language. I think a learning algorithm would ju...

Speaking of chaotic situations, is Jardin a Jonah? Only been twice so far, but that's a lot of getting shot at.

What? A Jonah? Like the biblical figure?
What has been twice? Twice contacting the pocket Historian?

... If you're from a telepathic species and you find someone who looks like your species but he's discolored and will have a shorter lifespan and has as much telepathic ability as a rock, your first thought is probably going to be "oh no, this one was born mentally retarded". If they didn't have th...

Also, it would be speciesm. And as I recall, the Loroi do in fact possess a sense of superiority over other species, and my understanding is that this doesn't necessarily stem from their telepathy, but from them having a perceived heritage of a respected precursor species. If you're from a telepath...

Sorry if you have all gone over this in the past, especially in forum post referring to the the first time Alex dealt with the pocket historian (approx pages 154-158). What information can we assume that the pocket historian have on humanity and Alex? The location of earth? A (more or less plausible...

Chess champions aren't known for their good social skills. A pretty face could fish herself out quite a lot of information. As for the chess part, he have just been warned not to trust the Loroi. The reasonable thing to do would be to exercise caution. He could of course disregard the warning out o...

(snipping out previous thingies) I am sorry I confused you. I was writing in the style of a roulette dealer cajoling customers to place bets. "Go off" would be a display of anger with or without physical violence. "Ball about to drop" was an attempt to be clever, as dropping the ball is to make a m...

Is alex about to make a stupid move and reveal more than he wants to because he feels a kinship with another pilot?

The academy chess champion? I doubt it.

Also, what would we do if there is a draw? If two or several people goes off at the same time?

Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen. Which Loroi will "go off" on our hero? Fireblade 1:2, Tempo 3:2, Reed 2:1, Flint 3:1, Spiral 4:1, Talon 5:1, Cloud 5:1, Beryl 8:1. Place your bets quickly, the ball is about to drop... I am usually not a betting man, but I think that the conditions should be a...

Why do I get the feeling that the Construct is going suggest the Beyrl be taken careful “permanently”? Well, I guess that you are the best person to answer that question. At this moment I think that it would be highly unlikely. I would assume that if that would come to be the case, it would not occ...
