Powerful enough nukes in space can still do some light ablative damage at a kilometer. AM or the Loroi equivalent if powerful enough I reckon could at least wipe out three kilometers or somewhat less with sheer thermal radiation. That sounds like a lot of nukes will be needed to cover a standard ba...

I don't know that they can vent the atmosphere without it being discovered. Maybe they could pretend everyone inside were killed in the shockwave, or they can pretend that Tempo was the important cargo bringing heretofore unknown technology (alex' gadgets) back to Loroi space, while hiding Alex in a...

@Werra
months on the front line in a ship, though. Not exactly close range ship-boarding combat.

Maybe that's why they're packing him in a suit. Lure the bugs in, push him off, then scuttle.

Not one to fall into melancholy philosophical ruminations usually but seeing the young 'un, Cloud, prepare for war is seriously depressing. Excellent expressions throughout, but that one got me.

Hairbrush girl loading up that gun like she's annoyed because she hadn't planned on dying today.

I only now noticed that there was a spotlight being shined on the Loroi shuttle. I visual inspection a typical way that salvaging/security-checking wreckage is done? In terms of using see-through-wall radar systems, it's not clear how that would work in an instance where what you are trying to spot ...

Is salvaging wreckage something that's part of what a gatecrasher force will do? That is, they push into enemy territory, bringing tankers and whatnot, but also grab whatever they can use from destroyed enemy ships? And how much usable salvage will even be left from a destroyed ship? Lol, just reali...

"Plunger" sounds like someone who's clumsy on a boat.

She's signing "I'm coming outside to keep an eye on you, not because I've been stuck in this rat trap with 8 other women for several hours and I'm about to start slitting throats if I don't get a moment's peace"

I'm looking forward to see whether he's actually dreamwalking, ie, going into her dream, or if her dream is being imprinted on him.

Back on page 156 the historian advised Alex not to reveal its presence, but they seem to know about it here. Do the Loroi think the construct is not present and the the projector is suspect by association alone? Alex clearly not listening to the historian anyway, which is understandable but may hav...

I was watching "I won't let you down" by OK Go, and it brought up a question.
Would loroi be better at choreography than humans/non-telepathic species?

@dragoongfa A hill makes ranged attacks more difficult. A gravity well would make those easier. If Heinlein wasn't such a degenerate coomer, I'd recommend reading "Mooning a harsh Missus" for a demonstration of the principle. Would a planets gravity well noticeably affect ships with the engine outp...

Even if they were detected, I'm assuming they are out of fuel anyway to make any difference in an escape attempt.

That's why they're going outside. To paddle.

When Alex said he just wanted to go outside for a walk, Beryl took it literally.

Okay given the conversations happening is it even possible the Historians could have a weapon system this far out? Also it is right the lorori show a lot of racist traits with their telepathy. Is not as much racism as a consequence of their telepath culture. Loroi don't (most simply cannot) hide an...

Is alex about to make a stupid move and reveal more than he wants to because he feels a kinship with another pilot?

"Keep playing dumb, dumbass, really play to your strengths."

Gee, thanks, computerman.

According to many East Asians, humans often smell like milk.

Indeed, I have often heard east asians comment on this on those rare occasions when they happen to interact with humans

Now why would they need to put on the outer parts of those suits? The more I see how Beryl treats Alex like a little boy, the more I doubt her good intentions behind that one panel of the two kissing. Well, he did just disobey protocol to wander around losing body heat in an emergency situation.

How about electro sea shanty?

Industrial sea shanty for gamers is the electro swing of nautically based retro music fads.
