Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Maybe she wants to fish Alex out of space again, for another wakeup at the medbay.
But seriously, a bunch of (presumably lightly armed) tankers and transports just appeared before her unit. The crews of those ships suffer from jump sickness. If the 51th comes down on them now the losses of material could be heavy. And just after resupply with full ordnance. That's the wet dream of any raider.
If one tanker carries enough fuel to refuel 5 times, then one tanker lost stops 5 ships from advancing much further.

One way understrength strike group against 6 divisions and their gunboats? Not to mention those initial 8 divisions that jumped in from Rallis only need to cut their acceleration to join with those support divisions and have the firepower of fourteen divisions available...Werra wrote:But seriously, a bunch of (presumably lightly armed) tankers and transports just appeared before her unit.

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Seeing as Arioch has just delivered a Barsam overview, I think we can expect some jolly cooperation to appear in the comic soon.
At least until they learn Alex is telepathically inert, and decry humanity as dangerously corrupt demonspawn.

Something tells me, given the fact that humans have always been prone to religious delusions, that the Barsam Church will find a receptive audience on Earth. It will be the hip new space age religion.CF2 wrote:Seeing as Arioch has just delivered a Barsam overview, I think we can expect some jolly cooperation to appear in the comic soon.

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Something tells me that a lot of humanity will consider the Barsam church to go against their belief in one god and the more zealous will come up with an alternative explanation to the fall of the soia. Namely that they were punished by god for their blasphemous creation of the demons, trolls and witches and humanity have a mandate of heaven to conquer these clearly heretical lifeforms and to that end god blessed man with an innate defense against their sorcery and an unparalleled technological growth. This will go just fab i'm sure.Victor_D wrote:Something tells me, given the fact that humans have always been prone to religious delusions, that the Barsam Church will find a receptive audience on Earth.

Let's wait to purge that heresy for when we come to it.Jericho wrote:Something tells me that a lot of humanity will consider the Barsam church to go against their belief in one god and the more zealous will come up with an alternative explanation to the fall of the soia.

The only reaction I'm concerned about from Alex is that he might be tempted to use the Barsam presence as a means to put some distance between himself and his red haired "honor guard".
Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
You ran out of week, Arioch!
I hope we get a double post this week. I hope everyone's been well.. catching up on the forum a bit.
I had a thought, maybe expanding a bit on some earlier speculation. What if the Outsiders are the Loroi? And Humanity's territory offers a place of exile and respite after the Umiak basically roll over the Union? Yikes!
And might we hear about the fate of the rest of the Scout Corp?

My guess he is busy designing 3D models, perhaps pf the inside of the Barsam Courier or the Gora Relay station. Doing this for the Highlander was a major cause of delay.cacambo43 wrote:You ran out of week, Arioch!

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
The Umiak are expanding in the direction of human space as well. Remember, it's guesstimated to be about a decade before the alien empires find TCA space on their own. This is why the contact mission was established.cacambo43 wrote:

I second the question on the Scout Corps ships .
Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
I've heard that before, but we know from what the Loroi have said, in-comic, that there's this Great Wasteland and the area is not well charted. There would seem to be little incentive for either empire to make their way to our area, given the huge logistical challenges and lack of clear "pay off", if you didn't know another race of beings lived here. Neither race seems especially predisposed to exploration, for exploration's sake.Mr.Tucker wrote:The Umiak are expanding in the direction of human space as well.

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
And if the Loroi really have to flee, the Umiak should be busy for generations subjugating the original Loroi territory.

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
@Arioch - do you by chance have some WIP bits of the next page you would like to share? I'm sure people are worried that you might have sidelined the comic again...
Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
I hereby make an official call for tar and feathers!!entity2636 wrote:@Arioch - do you by chance have some WIP bits of the next page you would like to share? I'm sure people are worried that you might have sidelined the comic again...
Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Hey, tar-and-feathering a follow forumite might be entertaining for Arioch, and thus lead to more sidetracking the comic.
I'm sure he jsut got some extra artwork to do somewhere, to make ends meet.*
*like playing some or other game, so that his follow clan members don't get killing due to his absence.
*ducks and out*

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Every day without an update is another slash-fic chapter!
Hmm make that week.
I'll get back to you guys in half a year.
