Re: Happy Independence Day
I thought the statue of liberty is holding the bill of rights (which don't apply to Loroi, yet), and not a laurel wreath... Wonderful, thank you! Also a thank you to avatar576 for his work. Since I'm European, but not French, the 4th of July means nothing to me, besides another day older and deeper ...

Re: Page 222: Take Care What You Choose For Cover
The Loroi came from the hangar, and split into different directions.
Likely, nobody is left in the hanger as they know it is clear, and nobody had a chance to move into the direction of the hangar.

Re: Page 222: Take Care What You Choose For Cover
That ... Gives me a) the creeps. b) the feeling that the Umiak may have an anti-detection device on board, and that there is one hiding very close by. And that ultimately Alex will be the one finding "it", showing the Loroi they've become too reliant on their telepathic ability, when he prevents "It...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Although many Loroi will be killed in service, and might therefore not be able to give birth..... But for that actually to slow them down to Human reproductive speeds, the losses/in service amount would have to be 8/9th of the whole female population (to bring the quota of men/female to app. 1:1).

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Read up a bit on the warhammer 40k, and indeed, it sounds a lot more like that. Only specific points are viable for jumps, and navigation needs to be precise, as well as not all points are accessible, and longer jumps make it tremendously more difficult to get where you wanted to be, and not "become...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Since there is no time in hyperspace (Outsider), it's definitely not B5 style.
And I do not know warhammer, so cannot comment on that.

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path
In Fallen Dragon by Peter F. Hamilton this is touched upon. (By alien insects dieing when trying to "eat" the meat of a fallen Human fighter - the protagonist sees this and the story goes on.) It's just not a very relevant part of the story, besides the protagonist dieing anyway due to the fights, a...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path
Still, I'm waiting for the moment Beryl (who is the one who does not forget - eidetic memory) ask Alex when he learned about Fireblade's scar (vs her looks now), i.e. when Beryl follows up on Page 182.
I'm just waiting to see a setting where the Loroi think it is safe to ask such a question.

Re: I Have a Question For the Forum

Many will even be extremely happy someone else got inspired to add their own story to it. And they usually are even happier if you post it again, preferably with a ...

Re: Is the comic dead?
Not choosing to be born is not the same as being forced into the world. As a father who was present during birth: oh yes, the mother cannot do otherwise than FORCE the kid into the world. It's not called "to be in labour" without reason. It is hard work to push that kid out. Very forceful shoving. ...

Good.
It's always what I try first, because if it works, I have another SSD or HDD running as pure backup drive... (If I got it in already, it shall remain running there, until it fails completely.)

Re: The Diral-Seii
Giving a seii away to someone who was not a member of the diral kind of defeats the purpose of the object. Your misfortune does not benefit the diral if you aren't holding the totem (or so it is believed). You might pass the seii to someone who had become a close companion, especially if there were...

Re: Outsider humor thread
I can imagine better places to be than in a room with a religious person on a converting mission, and a sentient beast hungry for meat, even if it comes from other sentient beings....
But now I wonder whether hair-gel is a working talisman against a hungry Nissek?

Wow, that ending. Thank you! So, now at least one Human will know she has accessed at least one dream. And then they have to compare notes... It's not an ending just yet. The most interesting parts are still ahead. Anyway, what makes you think that the Humans became aware of it just now? 8-) Becaus...

Thank your for sharing this story. very enjoyable. And the spoilered addition about Marduk? Very nice. Different from most AI short stories, but that's part of the lure of it. Pity nobody was fast enough to welcome Marduk and say "THANKS for giving us the formulas, and math solutions!". But I fear 5...
