Doesn't look good. Even if the bug gets shot on the next page, the servo is already set to crunch mode.

Well at least he can be a distraction.

It occurs to me that if the umiaks are using some kind of psionic detection equipment, they might not know that Alex is even there.

Shoot the neck.

Also-- maybe time for the historian to send them some intervention.

Time to find out if our boy has any actual close combat skills.

I wonder if it would be possible to arrange an explosion that would coincidentally knock them towards the Prophet's Wisdom.

Now i am reminded of the old old Star Trek game we played on printing terminals before crt monitors became standard. Long range sensors would tell you how many klingon ships were in the next sector, but you had to actually go there to see where they were.

This is war; killing off named characters is a good way to drive this point home.

Thank you for that stark reminder.

I love how the surface of the buggy ships are covered with buggy protuberances.

Waiting for the officer to say the code phrase which means "the enemy must not gain possession of the alien".

IRL pilots will use the rudder of an aircraft to yaw back and forth a bit "wagging the tail" when in view of another plane, like waving to each other. This is sometimes done to indicate a problem when a radio is unavailable, or it can just be a friendly acknowledgement. "They're waggleling!" -- Bat...

Heh. I think the pilots have been thinking of him as an unsophisticated yokel. The idea that he could use a psychological ploy, play the player as well as the game, to gain advantage through distraction, never occured to them.

Also, it seems strangely naive to think that an artifact of a civilization with much more advanced technology than yours is really off when it's not doing anything. In fact, that explains to me how the bot has a reading on the current mental states of the loroi. Clearly, there is a communications me...

The historian ai maintains the pretense that they are the tools of a bio species that created them. However, the creators are actually long dead. The cylons are on their own.

We're getting a complete writeup of the game, right?

Given the degree of strategic surprise the bugs achieved, I personally think they would probably be most interested in preparing to move on to the next system as quickly as possible. They seem to be in a position where they could gain a lot from pressing as far as they can as quickly as they can be...

<all the things> 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? Originally from the Bible. A person on shipboard regarded as the caus...

I have an old phone. I took the sim out and use it as a little tablet. Every time i turn it on, i have to remove up to 4 programs that somehow installed themselves since last time. So apparently here in our pre stellar age, there are already examples of powerdown intrusion. None of them have warned ...

That's bad. Remember he doesn't trust the suit to handle his biological functions for fear it might be female specific. Though it seems weird to me to assume that congruent evolution has made everything match between humans and loroi including the form of the dangly bits. Whatever, the stroganoff is...

Dummy still doesn't realize that he's getting some of Red's memories.
