could be, i never envisaged that option. That could explain why they are just drifting.osmium wrote:2) they're mostly out of gas, if the superheavies are dead in the water perhaps that first joust was an attempt to scare them out of the system to allow resupply in.

@Tash they are not going to admit it, nor do they need to, they only need to scare them, so maybe they will ask for something unimportant or be destroys, so the loroi will take the option of running away.
Like the Umiak? Most of the loroi propaganda is about them being Soia decendant (or what ever) as a point of them being superior to the Umiak. Also most of the Loroi Allie will be shaken to see proof that the loroi lied. what else do the loroi would be hiding they will think.dex drako wrote:humans are kind of meaningless to anyone but the people that want to disprove the Loroi clams of being Soia.
And that something they can see from analysing an human (dead or alive)
Other reason for the contact:
1) they actually are a migrant fleet formed by the rebel of the many umiak occuped planet.
2) They were contacted by time traveler and need to end this war to face a bigger treat "the Reaper"
3) The Umiak is actually a veteran who like to boast and will show Human/loroi mutilated body to destroy the loroi moral.
4) Because Why the hell not? maybe thing have changed since the last 40 year of war (correct me on the date am too lazy to check)
5) They want to know who keep sending them those "enlarge your penis adds" though the Hyper-network and also "what the hell is a penis and why do it need enlargment"
