Beryl's also a Listel and has therefore quite the analytical mindset. We've already seen her switch gears on page 141, when she calmly answered Alex concerns. That the Loroi look like frail, little cuties, but behave very masculine in many aspects is a nice conflict of expectations. Right, she does...

Yes, but do note, that gone is Tempo's arrogant self confidence like on Pages 56 and 60. The situation doesn't seem that strange. They're all veterans and had a lot of time to accept their imminent deaths. A bit like trench soldiers who don't even flinch anymore when bombs go off. Maybe it reads so ...

Does Tempo's gesture (placing her right palm over her chest) have any meaning, or is a personal tic? This also caught my attention. I don't get the impression from her posture and facial expression that she's pulling rank or being otherwise harsh, but she certainly is telling Talon something where ...

Sunphoenix - you have the (unfair) advantage of having seen pages 142 and 143 while I haven't. Indeed, she could just as well be talking about any number of things, but her believing all this is somehow Alex's fault and confronting him about it just seems more natural to me. If it ends up not being ...

While the new pages aren't up yet, guess I'll take a stab at what might be going on in the teaser. I'm bound to be wrong though :D Tempo has that look on her face that, in my opinion, translates to "Captain Jardin, there have been too many coincidences over the past few weeks, a few too many for my ...

They are proportionally stronger than humans, that is, a loroi woman will be stronger than a human woman of similar height, weight and build, about as strong as a human man, again of similar height, weight and build (which would be a rather wimpy man in comparison). I don't think they have thicker o...

..quantum reality that is semi-created or more likely the result of the real world digital computers of our reality... a "perifery realm"... sort of like the shadow of a 3 dimensional object. In effect our computers of our 3 dimensional reality create a shadow dimension on a quantum level that that...

You are correct, Dragoon, but to undertake said mission we need to convert the L'Amour into a proper warship but first build more substantial defenses for Niflheim (requires at least the Chemical Missile Plant, basic missiles and CIWS). Our colonists might not be too thrilled if the only mobile defe...

Martial: has got to be Whalers Pt.3 because we have such poor chances on the rest. Diplomacy: Urkuk language. Know one's enemy, at least understand them. Stewardship: changed to Drydock Intrigue: Every Move You Make. We already know that at some point in time the loroi were considering a jailbreak a...

This is so interesting that over the weekend I read all of the turn posts and most of the accompanying discussion, awesome! If I may join in, I'd choose the following: Whaling Tactical Research Turn 2 [X] The Brain (Potentially additional knowledge on Whale intelligence and thought patterns) [X] Pro...

No, Cloud is a Soroin Passet (midshipman) according to the Insider, as indicated by her grass-green service uniform. A mizol at her rank would wear dark green and grey on parade or civilian clothing otherwise. That said, she could very well be an undercover mizol pretending to be a soroin, but that'...

Alright, suppose you could argue that First Contact is an often used trope/plot device in Outsiderverse and Outsider Extended universe created by fans, but that is what all this is about. I don't think it's a problem in itself as long as scenarios don't get outright copy-pasted. Since there is no FT...

So who's going to be the unlucky one that has to crank those two doors open? One of the guards because the armors have magnetic boots or Cloud because lowest rank? I'd say Cloud because she's the lowest rank greenshirt on board, or maybe the other soroin guard who's obviously older and stronger wou...

Four Super-Battleships, eighteen battleships, six carriers, forty heavy cruisers, sixty missile cruisers and ninety two destroyers. Should I also count the auxiliaries? Huh, not bad for a Contact mission, eh? A bit of a "Vulcan hello", one could say. Do I see it right, that we, as in the TCA, do no...

I like it but was afraid you had abandoned your novel. I like the slow and ominous pace the events are progressing at, sets the mood just right with the implications of a contact scenario like this one. Am waiting for the next part.

Interesting. To me it looks like Alex is upset at Beryl for something, while her expression and arm gesture could be something along the lines of "no, I am/do NOT" but I could be wrong. Could also be that she is just concerned and wants to use her cuff light to have a better look at Alex's bump on h...

One thing people constantly ignore is that in space nothing is stationary. Everything moves both relative to the star and relative to everything else and solar systems also move relative to each other and quite fast actually. Neptune, for example, flies through space at 5.43km/s and our own Sun move...

Werra - obviously to keep pressure on the Union and not give them room to breathe. To keep them occupied with fending off constant raids, to keep their numbers and fleet strength down and to keep their attention focused on the Steppes front, while the Umiaks build up on materiel, develop plans of at...

Make that about a day before CO2 levels become toxic, maybe two if they all keep calm, don't move and preferably all go to sleep. They are 9 people in a volume comparable to a small regional jet, maybe smaller than that.

Nr.2 If it were just a tug hardpoint you would be right. But those gunships need to be refueled, rearmed and need ways to get the crew on and off board. That means the crew of a gunship needs amenities on board their carrier ship as well as facilities and supplies for the gunship itself. Isn't a sp...
