i agree tempo wuold likely be the only one that could do a sit down dinner, tho Beryl would be to cute asking her endless questions Burning question is - where was the home world? Is it in any way shape or form related to the current location of isolated Humanity? just to be nice leading theory the ...

There are many social species in which only the alpha males and females reproduce, and the offspring are cared for (including nursing for mammals) by the group caveat this model is largely debunked today (by the man who started it infarct) most cases studies overlooked the fact "Alphas" were the bi...

A gravity well is only a model, the 3D plot of the gravity field strength (gravitational pull) of an object against the distance from said object, this may be a picking nits as it were but a gravity well is a model of how much an objects gravity has warped space not how strong the field is. the str...

I'd say the Umiak are fairly high on the collectivism scale. They basically don't have much of an individualist ethos; individuals identify themselves by their job and position in the society and accept their fate without resistance. They mount endless suicidal charges against the Loroi, and it doe...

The Loroi-Umiak conflict seems a lot like Fascism vs Collectivism. not really, least of all because nether side really fits the collectivism idea much, at best its a case of light fascism (loroi are fascism towards their own but work well with a group of largely independent allies ) and heavy fasci...

I actually subscribe to this view, too. But still, almost 0.3 million years should give the Historians an immense edge over anyone else in this corner of the Galaxy. They could easily have colonised every world while the other races were still running around the savannas with stone-tipped spears. T...

"Speculated" being the operative word. They may as well be some newly emergent race which just stumbled on more preserved Soia-era artefacts or ruins. This would give them a clear technological edge over their neighbours, which they decided not to exercise for some reason (perhaps they're not natur...

The 'wings' of the Barsam courier remind me of the America class cruisers. That ring structure on the courier, is it part of the shield generators, Arioch? At least, those blue 'windows' on the ring remind of a similar feature on the prongs of Loroi ships. i'd say the rings are more likely part of ...

Loroi males don't know how to do complex stuff like drive vehicles or pilot aircraft, whether this is because of a lack of trust by the dominant females or a sense of 'matronizing' pride is up to debate but as a rule Loroi males are very sheltered, protected and looked after. Which raises the quest...

So, there was some discussion and criticism about the comic on another forum earlier, and although I have a vague feeling these points may have come up here before, I believe there's stuff worth discussing here. Thoughts/comments? these people fundamentally misunderstand the point of this comic. as...

nuclear winter is extremely overhyped, why? dunno, but it is. where do i get the balls to call something so commonly accepted bullshit? simple math, physics and history. or the more logical answer you're an arm chair quarterback who's cherry picking facts while knowing or caring little about the wh...

lets be honest here people any real war would mean the end of humanity as even just 5 nukes could send the world into a "nuclear Autumn" and likely cause the end of humanity. the only wars left are the "play wars" we fight in third world countries that can't really fight back so defense contractors ...

hi hi all species that have high intelligence "hurt" for energy dense foods. This is demonstrably not true. The African Grey Parrot, for example, is a bird that eats fruits and seeds and is one of the most intelligent animals we know of. i know i made a spelling mistake (puting hurt instead of hunt...

Couldn´t a prey specie develope sapience in order to better protect itself from its predators? depends on what you call "pary" intelligence doesn't seem to form for defensive measures, instead all species that have high intelligence "hunt" for energy dense foods. it doesn't matter if that energy de...

I am sort of curious about those with good telekinetic ability but lacking the other requirements teidar or mizol. Do they get a chance to use their ability as well? A gallen could probably make use of an invisible extra third arm for example. Anyone working with tools could probably relate to this...

What is the maximum Loroi can achieve with telekinetics? Both in power and in control. Can the best Teidar lift a horse/car/house? Can the best Mizol open a bottle/thread a needle/catch a fly? Is Alex inborn Lotai achievable for Loroi? well fire blade can lift 2 tons i believe and she can also heat...

its unlikely we'll see earth or another human until after the story is won and Alex is heading home a hero. the story is going to be focused on the umiak's new ability to by pass the loroi's farseers and who ever destroyed the earth ship (likely new enemy playing both sides.) and Alex's role in stop...

i still say the story is taking a page out of its source material.

the alien are a race we haven't seen yet and most likely will be an enemy of the Soia come back to clear up the left over.

Feels like presuming empathy is a big ask. Play to their enlightened self interest instead, bonus points if they decide to feel guilty It's in the Loroi's best interest to get humanity on their side, ditto the Umiak. It is in ALEX's best interest that we end up with the Loroi. He should be as coope...

the problem is people are still thinking of humans in this story like a first world nation when a better analogy would be humans are barely above a last Amazonian tribe crawling out of the jungle for the first time. we are at such a disadvantage that the best and only hope humans have is to go publi...
