Our Neandertal friend could be easily recognized, but considering how human brain works, he could as well hide himself well enough if his behavior is close to human standards. We don't tend to recognize oddballs in a crowd. However, if Neandertal sightings were common enough, we would be able to poi...

Making it straight, Softsapphire addresses the human, in Trade. Instead of the very direct loroi style without decoration, Softsapphire uses a more refined pattern of speech, something that might actually sound un-loroi-like to the sisters present with her. Are you allowed to speak with us? I am mys...

Mr. Black will be a good foil to Softy

We do not have that information about the Loroi. I think there musclefibres are very human like in that aspect. Actually, we do... Males are smaller and physically weaker than females, but since physical strength is not a Loroi strongpoint , this is not especially relevant -- in terms of valued tel...

As an aside, light takes a long time to get from the interior of a star to its exterior due to the absorption and re-emission of photons by the atoms of the star, not self-interaction. It would be interesting to know if gravitons behaved in the same way. Considering a graviton would technically be ...

Softsapphire's experience was one she had never seen before. She see the humans, she could hear them. All of those senses were activated. But her sanzai senses were completely dead. She could notice her sisters, but nothing would "register" with the humans. As a proud scientist, she knew very well t...

The idea of growth on the Moon was explored in the anime Planetes, where a Luna-born girl is huge. If growth is indeed lowered by gravity (which seems reasonable enough), it stands to reason that there will be a taller growth on Mars and the Moon. Note that a big problem on Mars and the Moon is not ...

"Softsapphire, you have me wrong. Right or wrong.. you are my crewsister... I WILL NEVER abandon you! I would NEVER kill a sister... for simply making a mistake! We all do eventually... I am my crewsister's weapon. My life is forfeit in your defense! I would be happy to die in defense of your life....

Softsapphire was enjoying her new sight. She had received from her colleage images of the broken ship back home, but this was the first sight of a human ship. Primitive, perhaps, but certainly not the most primitive she had encountered. She was even able to read the few marks on the ship. {Twilights...

I added my own touch. Softsapphire is probably the closest thing to a Psychology Doctor you can imagine. Yet, she is well versed in most sciences as well, so we might as well have her Spock-ish input. (And no, she is not Vulcan, not even a straw one. I made sure her post felt visibly pissed and angr...

Softsapphire was getting nervous. {Damn our loroi psyche. You sisters are all going crazy. No matter what happens, we CANNOT go back to Loroi territory by our own means. For all intent and purpuse, we are DEAD . We are in no position to negociate, and if it fails, we might have some speed, but we ar...

Softsapphire was shocked by the whole acceleration. She was a scientist, used to grounded studies. But when all was done, she turned to the top Mizol. "Twilightsaber, we should remind our sister of our plan to first not speak about us as Loroi and to speak among ourselves using Trade, not Sanzai. Ot...

Bleh. I think that with a mind of 8, Softsapphire won't get much into the inanities Alex screamed out of frustration. She's a professional psychologist/biologist with touches of anthropology and some knowledge related to otherworlders. Her Listel mate might have been a little puzzled, but Softsapphi...

Softsapphire was exited, looking forward to meet the humans. But Twilightsaber's questions were more pressing matter. {No matter how much time we have left, this doesn't matter. More pressing is sending a message to the humaniti ship. I will calculate the frequency of the stream, Malidasaria shall u...

LOL! But I do not think the Umiak will do that. They have blue space elfe slavegirls. Why would they take ours?

What, you mean you can have enough slaves?

(This is so out of character, even as myself.)

Softsapphire sanzais at Malidasaria.

{Losat, can you give me a description of any mark you can see on the probe as soon as you get near the thing?}

If you go with them, then you can see it directly. If you stay in the shuttle, as suggested by the last posts from the loroi point of view, you will be able to see it as sanzaied images or they send those images to you with their scanners. You will be able to compare them with your memories and wha...

- The intention of my character (Softsapphire) was to bring the thing in, and analyse it inside. That is why I wanted to know if I could bring it in. Indeed, seeing it could have been interesting. (Which brings me a question. Do I see it? If I see it, are there any marks? If their are, I must compar...

The Mizol thought for a brief moment. {Stormrage, this is an acceptable, but very risky compromise. Bring us behind one of these Asteroids close to that drone, that should buy us some time and I don´t like being watched by an possible unknown foe. Bear in mind, that the thick hull of this shuttle s...
