The only use case that I currently have for this technology is the concept that Fireblade has a capsule that she sleeps in to mitigate the telepathic "noise" that she generates when unconscious... but I'm not 100.0% sure that's actually going to be in the comic. Heh. I'm enjoying imagining Alex's r...

Is there any particular advantage that the Loroi would gain from capturing this Umiak ship intact? I'm assuming no, because the conflict is big enough and has been going on for long enough that each side should have working examples of all major enemy technology, just from scavenging after battles w...

I prefer the explanation that this is some unexplained phenomenon happening between Alex and Fireblade, and that Tempo is cluing in on it. Partly, it's because it matches up with my vague overarching theory, since we know very little about the mechanics of telepathy and lotai, and none of the Loroi ...

Wow, the backgrounds look amazing. Getting chased around a confined starship by an intelligent creature capable of telepathy that you will not outfight is nightmare fuel. Yeah. Hiding won't work, sneaking won't work, distraction won't work. Any scout you send ahead will be killed. If you leave a hol...

Is Fireblade consciously aware of what's happening between them? I don't know about Fireblade, but after page 182, I think Tempo may be aware that something is leaking. I'd guess that Tempo probably has almost as much background information about Fireblade as she does about Stillstorm (aside from t...

... You go, girl? :-/ I'm trying to figure out what exactly Fireblade *did*. Maybe grab them like squeezing an action figure in your fist? The armor doesn't seem to be breached, but a number of joints have broken, and the fluids make me think that some of those small hoses popped. *shiver* I don't w...

It depends on how close you are to the sun. If you're just in orbit around the Earth, the thermal component of sunlight is not significantly more intense in space than it is on the surface of the planet. The danger would be from the kinds of radiation that are normally blocked by Earth's atmosphere...

Eventually she was promoted out of the unit and began being assigned as intelligence officer to various fleet units. Which ultimately led to her being assigned to Tempest . Now I'm wondering about the political implications of this assignment. Tempo sounds unusually senior and skilled; is that accu...

There was a scene in "Earthlight" by Clarke (1955) that sticks in my memory. A warship's crew evacuated to a passenger liner of the opposing side, despite not having enough spacesuits. Clarke wrote that the main danger from the brief exposure would be sunburn, so they did as much of it as possible i...

The link to page 281 says "31 October June 2022". It seems like it should be "31 October 2022", with the "June" being left over from the entry for page 217?

I think the most Darlok thing of all would for no one to know they exist. Yet. Who shot the Bellarmine? How did the tensions between the Loroi and the Umiak erupt into war? ("You were framed.") We keep saying that there's no stealth in space, but maybe that's just because we haven't seen any . (I wo...

I'll go with Infidel , a one-shot villain from Astro City. He's a medieval-era alchemist who was smart enough to make it work, and then made himself immortal, turned lead into gold, figured out time travel, and went on from there. Currently residing in a pocket dimension he created himself, in an un...

We have thus far seen the loroi in a positive light. But do you think we will eventually see their more ruthless qualities?

I am eagerly waiting until our merry crew joins up with the Barsam and Neridi on the Prophet's Reason, and we get to hear what they think about the Loroi.

I still don't understand why humans moved clowns out of the circuses and made them world leaders. To increase user engagement metrics, by doing whatever it takes to get people to frantically hit "refresh" to find out what our world leaders have done now? I remember the good old days when all of thi...

How close are the Loroi sister worlds? Same solar system? Lightyears apart? Since either scenario paints a picture as to how they got there since the homeworld is unknown. If the sister worlds are LY apart that means that literally separate Loroi civilizations developed apart from each other, devel...

Neither of these representations look much like the actual organism native to Armis, which was probably named after the mythological creature rather than the other way around. The Armis minnir has membrane wings that are more like a pterosaur than a bird, while some of the mythological minnir repre...

Most official representatives of the Union (especially those involving the military or the Loroi administration) bear the symbol of the Loroi military: https://well-of-souls.com/forums/download/file.php?id=43 it's called the minnir, and it's a stylized representation of a mythical creature that sym...

Do we know how old Cloud was, and if she left behind any children?
