History of the Seren Occupation
(snip)

....Not even Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan at their worst hold a candle to the Umiak at their "average".

Fireblade after this:

For little we know about her, she is more likely to grab Alex and threaten him with an one-ticket-trip via airlock unless he explain himself RIGHT NOW...
...with the added problem Alex still cannot hear her Sanzai, and Fireblade won't believe it.

So this is part of how Fireblade became as she is now.

Space zombie smog monsters are more suited for the climate near Los Angeles (Smogland), than San Jose (near Fogland).

I just remember what someone once said about how humans invented monsters in order to put the blame away from ourselves.

Very nice indeed, although there is something uncanny about her; probably the eyebrows.

I think it may be the skin color. It giver her a sorta sickly look.

And dignity. Even above life. You don't want to end like the humans in SOMA.

There is an interesting commentary in the youtube video. In most sci-fi fiction, humans´biggest advantage against robots is our pretended ability to think outside of the box.
This experiments proves the opposite: for the A.I, there is simply no box.

I bet on Beryl and Tempo getting a bit suspicious at that point. And surely one of them, Tempo most likely, will ask Fireblade if she had a reconstruction procedure done on her right eye... I could see their reactions to be a bit varied. Beryl might be overjoyed at that prospect (though sort of jea...

I decided to do a integrity check at the start after responding to the original attack about 5 ton mech ;) You know the Mech weight I gave and armour of 20mm? It was a lie, totally made up to be far heavier. I wanted to see if. https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/063/491/my_trap_card.j...

The Loroi have a society in which being insensitive is considered a virtue; it's a form of being honest. No one is angry at Alex for saying something about something that he could not have possibly known was a sensitive subject. And victimhood is not considered a Loroi virtue. Alex hasn't exactly b...

Alex's dreams will still likely center on the nightmare that happened to him and his crewmates just a week or two ago. Though it is likely only a matter of time before his hormones start to work their way into his dreams again. Though the question on if that will start to include some of his blue f...

Jardin: "I'd love to, but it seems since you violated my mind neither of us have that option."

Even if Alex begins to suspect, maybe he won't be on a hurry to let the Loroi know they can actually overcome his lotai to a degree, if mindprobed hard enough.

Imagine Fireblade's reaction when she finds out herselt as the only Loroi who can get into Jardin's mind. Which among other things means Tempo permanently assigning her as the human bodyguard.

What if the Umiak are the actual hotties?

Fireblade: "Tempo please, tell the weird pink alien that I am not talking with him"
Tempo: "She wants me to say..."

I think Alex motives are simpler. He is in a very bad situation, forced to depend entirely on his alien rescuers/captors, so he logically wants to establish positive relationships with them while gathering as much intel as posible. Up to this point, Jardin has a general impression of the rest of the...

I think the biggest turnoff for Loroi is when they discover humans males grow hair on their faces (and chest, abd legs, and...)

I read it that way too. She is excited to be alive, and enjoying that, despite the war. And she prefers this dangerous environment over the "Sand". And she definitely enjoys being the chronicle of meeting the possible template species for her own species... She knows and understands she's at the co...

For some reason, being raised in a lush world filled with deadly, yet deceptively beautiful lifeforms fits Tempo to
