Re: Page 206: Just needs an expert's touch

Yup, called it. Illusion to make the shuttle seem empty. Very clever move, much better than trying to take on a force you have no idea the strength or size of.

Re: Page 204: Madness? THIS IS K-CHUNK!!!

I imagine Tempo and Fireblade are going to attempt some kind of phychic cloak or illusion to hide themselves from the Umiak. Mostly because of thier instructions to Alex before.

Is there anything humans are particularily better at or have an edge on the Loroi in this universe; like Hand-to-hand combat or direct infantry engagement, perhaps? Or is this just a kind of "stay down space monkeys, and revel in our mary-sueness" kind of sci fi outing? No judgements, just wanted to...
