with the exeption of planet Martine I don't find ether of the two sides particulary sympathetic. I mean we have the obviously imperialistic Humankind Empire Ahb who's laws are Draconian and who punish dissent with burning away a planets atmosphere ( they say there is no malice behind it but thats a ...

What i continue to believe is that the Historian are actually playing both side. They went to ally with the loroi and given them tech to fight off the umiak. at the same time they were studying a solution to prevent the loroi far sensing ability. So Mr 27 may have said the true, but it Historian te...

Loroi telepathy is not normally the sharing of literal "thoughts" or "emotions"; telepathic messages are similar to a spoken message, but there is a lot of extra bandwidth (which varies with the quality of the connection) that can contain subtext information, including emotional or sensory informat...

I think it depends on the reader, Arioch has been up front about his inspirations so its cool with me. I enjot the story and can't wait to read the ending.

speaking of inspirations untill I looked at Ariochs chart I was wondering why Fireblade reminded me a bit of Washu from Tenchi Muyo.

you know it would be intresting to hear what the characters sound like. for example I've always imagined Tempo with ether alto a Contralto voice ( apologies if these scales are only used for singing), well spoken, and sophisticated.

ah I bet the "We will finally put an end to this war" line has been said several times over the course of this war by both sides. The Umiak will enjoy a string of major victories untill unexpectedly the Loroi regain the upper hand and push them back to the border, this will be fallowed by a string o...

how long do they have to maintain physical contact for a telepathic attack to work, it seemed that Fireblade needed a few minutes before she could atempt to scan Alex's mind.

I think in ground combat you would see anything and everything -- kinetic slugs, lasers, particle beams, plasma, you name it. I'm personally very fond of basic kinetic slugthrowers -- I think they are the most simple and hard to counter. As you suggest, slugthrowers are not ideal for shipboard envi...

1) I know that Loroi avoid physical contact but are they still trained in had-to-hand combat?

2) do the support castes like Listels get combat training or are they completly dependant on other cast for protection?

I figured that the Umiak don't put much emphasis on Asthetics as much as the Loroi do which is why their interiors look so spars. as someone else stated I think we are going to be seeing Tempo in the lime light in the next few comics and I suspect Stillstorm is goingt to have a few choice words of h...

Assuming humanity allies with one of the powers, I don't think tech transfer is all or nothing. They're clearly unlikely to give us a brand new battle cruiser design, but some fifty year old designs from before the war would still kick us solidly in the butt when it comes to advancement, and the sa...

Are the Loroi the only option for tech transfers? Maybe some of the other races in the Loroi Union like the Historians might be more willing to trade with technology with us. They could see us as a potential counter balance to the Loroi and share some of their secrets.

behold our chocolate resistant bodies, and dispair!

a Loroi among humans, I've always loved those human through alien eyes stories. though I think the Loroi would only be intrested in gathering tactical on humans.

ah yes the handyman's secret weapon, duct tape!

@CptWinters: thanks capt, It donsn't bother me though. Trentor has his feelings about the subject and I have mine. again thanks

The only things valuable for the loroi are our resources Our biological data and our cultural history will be relevant to their interests, and if there are any Soia interactions in our species history. I'm sure their curiosity is just as strong as ours. Their prime concern is avoiding annihilation....

ok good,I'm glad I'm not going crazy

ah call me crazy, but there seems to be somthing different about Beryl's dialouge since the last time I read it. the one where shes talking about sg 51 kill ratio

don't think so , I think the Loroi will be quite thorough in their distruction of the Bell even if they were in a hurry.
