I just realized something, if it was Tempo then it would have been on purpose. If I channel paranoia around the Mizol, I'm not sure it still wasn't a ploy by Tempo to distract Alex from realizing how bad the situation is for the Loroi and how humanity should clearly join the Umiak. Beryl's extreme ...

Regarding Talon's remark that the commander come fish the shuttle: wouldn't there be a risk that Stillstorm is in on that communication loop? I can't wait to hear what Tempo has to say... CJSF I'm thinking it was more of a heads up and not disrespectful. Even the "just have to come fish for her shu...

Oh please, Fireblade is just too shy to say something. Pretty soon she'll be leaving hunting trophies in his locker. :lol: like a cat bringing it's owners the birds and mice it caught? :lol: Thanks for that, now I'm stuck with an Outsider version of the scene from the Godfather with the horse's hea...

What do young (2 - 6 year old) Loroi do for fun?

Outside of times of war, when and how are young Loroi being trained for the warrior caste traditionally exposed to violence and death?

Who teaches the warrior schools that 6-8 year old Loroi warriors attend?

Very nice. No idea what it's doing, but it looks great. Also: Behold, a young Loroi frigate in its habitat. Cast out from the protection of its herd, it must venture forth to find a new group of peers that it can join. But lone ships are easy prey for various space predators - what experiences will ...

What civilian guilds deal most closely with the military? How close do civilians get to the front lines as part of their jobs and what are those jobs?

Are crews kept together if their ship is resigned (if the crew did not suffer severe losses)? For example - it seems that the Thunderbolt might have most of its crew still alive when it was evacuated and resigned. Assuming this was the case, would this crew be kept together (crewing a new ship when ...

NCOs and low ranking officers tend to speak on behalf of the common soldier when said common soldier is clearly frustrated about something. If only to avoid catching a bullet at the back in the mid of a firefight. Yes I had a sergeant in the army who I would shoot at the back if we ended up in a fi...

You could still use a fleet which is automated to a very significant degree. Farseers detect concentrations of minds at distance, they can't, say, pinpoint a single shuttleful of folks at interstellar distance, IIRC. This is incorrect; Farseers can detect a single Umiak mind, if it's the only mind ...

Were the shampoo/conditioner (and any other beauty products) manufacturers nationalized by Greywind?

How large of a pool of people influence the Emperor's policies?

Is there any voice advocating for concern for the "common Soroin/Tenoin" in the war planning?

Thanks for the answers! Had a follow up since I'm not clear on something... Is there any prejudice among the adult trainers or diral members towards a first-generation military candidate? Would they tend to go harder or softer on such a candidate? In the starfaring era, the female children of the wo...

Were there any notable locations on Seren where the diral would train, or were they more integrated into civilian areas? What castes would train on Seren? Is there any prejudice among the adult trainers or diral members towards a first-generation military candidate? Would they tend to go harder or s...

I think I've convinced myself that Beryl's shocked expression is either from: a) [much more likely] the realization that the Umiak are able to penetrate Loroi defenses much more than she had assumed and that this problem is beyond just the current system b) [more humorous and I think there is some t...

Do the Loroi ever delve into cybernetics and bio-engineering for their soldiers, or is that kind of frowned upon because of the association with the Umiak? The Loroi use cybernetic implants for a few specialized purposes (you could say that psi amplifiers are a form of cybernetic implant), but in g...

Also, if I recall correctly, ships need to build up speed in the correct vector before making a jump, it could be that the Clearbrook has a head start on the Gora releay courier. I don't know where the actual jump lanes are, though. So I will concede that the courier might be able to jump immediate...

For some reason I also have the feeling that we are about to see a very pissed off Fireblade who is going to make sure that the alien with the Lotai who may be an enemy agent is always within killing distance. I wonder what the reaction will be. I could see Tempo wanting Fireblade closer in case sh...

Your meta-analysis is very off, if for no other reason than that Arioch has said that Stillstorm's cabin is going to feature in the story (along with her rather impressive cutlery collection,) and that can't happen if Tempest goes kablooie. I am not aware of that. We'll see. Easily solvable as a pr...
