{A smaller update for Twilightsaber, as her part was a bit undeveloped. Again, I hope this won't turn out too dark or sad in mood. The next part for the infarmery will be another post. There will be a lot of infos dropped into it and I might splitt it in two.} Malidasaria approaches Beganenzit, a f...

What the hell. Count me and Nel back in too if you want.

Huh... I remember this.

Definitely glad to hear you're among the living, my good sir. Hang in there.

I'm with sunphoenix on this. We all have lives and jobs to do, and we can afford to wait for a bit longer. Do what you need to, sir.

Sudden curiosity strikes me... Do the Loroi have large scale, organized crime syndicates akin to the Mafia or Mob? If so, do any stand out? And what about those that are more on the fringe of society like smugglers and bounty hunters? I'd imagine just about anyone has law breakers as well as law mak...

Aside from local policing and keeping ourselves in line? I suppose we could offer a relatively unknown staging area, fleet support (to an extent), and some VERY second line combat support. Looking over the specs on the Victory leads me to think it might, with upgrades and alterations (engines and sh...

I wont lie... I cried a little when I heard this. Nemoy was a part of my world growing up. May he rest in peace.

I simply don't see how morality plays into a fight for survival when one opponent taking any sort of idealistic high ground will lose, with defeat likely amounting to extinction. For the moral philosophers out there: I would argue that using Kantian ethics, that the inherent duty of species surviva...

So you're saying its alright for them to go and wipe out every live or unborn Umiak they come across? Based on your logic say the Loroi win, what's to stop them from thinking they can wipe out any other race they deem a threat or unfit to survive? I mean since they are the successful race they shou...

I'm inclined to think that the Loroi are evil as well as the Umiak, but only by their actions. Genocide of a sentient race or those with potential to become sentient is genocide, plain and simple. No morality adjustments are needed. Putting the survival of your species over the survival of another ...

...Raw resources, maybe? Industrial capacity? The latter would take time to build up to snuff though, and would be of dubious value in terms of output. We've advanced at a faster rate if I remember Insider correctly (just not to the same plateau), so perhaps we could be of use in research and develo...

Well fireblade is a hot red head, a strong women with make her quite easy on the eyes :) Unfortunately her personality make it quite hard to relate to her compared to other more lively loroi (like beryl) Call me masochistic, but she'd definately hold my attention fairly easily... I'm the sort who w...

and how did the nazis get through the maginot line? going through a neutral third party(also known as netherlands and belgium).....they never really broke the maginot line, they bypassed it and surrounded it, paris fell and france surrendered before the line did. the analogy falters, due to the lor...

I, for one, appreciate the fact that nobody is the good guy in the war. I get tired of easy characterizations very fast. It's too easy to fall into classic good guy/bad guy thinking, merely by picking the more "appealing" side at a glance, in many instances, which white-washes the nuances in play in...

Elaborating a little on Arioch's Trek-tech mention; There isn't a distinction that I've ever found. The isolinear and bio-neural systems memory serves both functions.

*Net descends, captures, drags off*

Sorry, my Inner Geek got out.

Unfortunately, accidents happen under extreme conditions at the slightest provocation, and aerospace flight certainly qualifies as extreme conditions...

Which doesn't make it any less of a tragedy.

Neat! I like.

Since the subject has been all over the news lately, I'm curious, so I hope I can be pardoned for asking... What's the Loroi take on racism? I know they don't like OTHER species, but do they have noticeable lines between their own ethnicities? Or have such details been subsumed by the greater concer...

just noticed a few things.... JP-8 flash point is at 38 celcius(or 100.4 fahrenheit), that means you need to either keep it in a hermetically sealed container or it might spontaneously burn in ambient temperature, admitted that is HOT weather, but not unheard of in the sandbox. combine this with ho...
