Re: Page 202: WHY?

hi hi

Oh no... why do I always get attached to side characters?

There's really no way Cloud's gonna survive is there? If they had medical supplies, maybe they could revive her, but... I don't see any route that leads to survival.

hi hi

What's wrong, didn't want to bring along any of the Loroi food packs? :P

Eagerly awaiting seeing Fireblade in action here.

I hope that their suiting up Alex less to put his mind at ease before offing him, and more as a precaution. I would also accept plan "a free floating 'corpse' isn't worth looking into."

Also, Talon's foreshortened pose in the first panel is great.

I really love these two. They just seem so jovial, it's hard not to smile.

Also, "Seed head?" Did she just get called an epithet for a Barsam? Eating Nagen seed pods?

Re: The Astronomy Thread

hi hi Frankly I find it refreshing to hear a scientist use that kind of language... it seems to me there are too many talking about things like string theory or parallel universes as if they were established fact. I suppose it depends on who you're talking to. Definitely good for accuracy, and I've ...

Re: page 196: Crossfire

hi hi Earth reentry is easy- er due to the atmosphere, but any similarly sized body will generally let you adjust your orbit to intersect with the surface a long time before you kill your full orbital velocity... I'm not sure what you mean by "kill your full orbital velocity," but hitting targets in...

hi hi Ooh! The long awaited Loroi-chess. After all the discussion we had about it back in the day , it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. Finally an opportunity for Alex to show off his genius. ;) I notice that the earlier incarnations had the capture target on an elevated hill, but now it l...

hi hi If I was the captain of a ship and I saw the barrel of my ship's main weapon experiencing visible resonant oscillation, you'd better believe I'd be hitting the emergency shutoff button as fast as possible.

Re: page 195: bad enough

hi hi I'm a little surprised that the Umiak don't spare at least one singular torpedo to make an attempt on the buoy. I suppose the buoy probably has one or two point defense lasers for hitting debris that might come its way though... I'm working on a more detailed map, but it's a challenge because ...

Re: The "Real Aerospace" Thread

hi hi In the past, I was never a huge fan of the F-15. I mean, it's a big, expensive jet that performs just as well as a big expensive jet should. But lately, seeing even more expensive jets performing not really any better, I've got a bit more respect for it. I wonder who came up with the idea to n...

Construct: "Don't trust them."
Alex: "Got anything to back that up?"
Construct: "Um... trust me?"

Well, Tempo did already suggest that the various members of the Union have different interests, and would want to use Alex for their own interests.

Or at least, even if the Historian's intentions are good (which they might not be) I'm not sure if its suggestions are a good idea. Due to the relatively long travel t...

Alex has been so consistently wary of Fireblade thus far, my first impression is that he's continuing the trend here.

If I were to place my bets, I'd bet that he says something about it. He's already dropped some hints, seemingly unintentionally, and he was cooperating with Beryl's experiments earlier too.

If you're just slaughtering unarmed civilians, or you don't want to waste ammo tearing apart the walls of every home you walk through, having a blade like that would probably be pretty functional.

While it is still too early to be confirmed, it looks like astronomers have found signs of a potential Neptune sized planet in the habitable zone of Alpha Centauri A.
