Idea:

We know Fireblade was on Seren during the Umiak occupation. It is almost certain that she was part of the resistance, as virtually every Loroi resisted the Umiak, and was either traumatized/injured/mutilated in such a way as to deprive her of her voice.

"Jardin" is a French name. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Jardin :P ) Perhaps Alex has ancestors who fought as part of the French Resistance? Could serve as a bonding-point. (Let's just hope none of Alex' ancestors were members of the Vichy Regime...)

well now I'm curious, we have fireblade's stats, but what about the stats for the rest of the fearsome four? As for the upcoming shuttle scene, I think the extras also said that for the first few chapters Tempo and Beryl would do most the talking for the Loroi, so i imagine Tempo will either be joining them in the shuttle too or (more likely) is already at the destination. As for them getting separated from the ship, that will probably happen later, after all Reed said they had to refit and restock the ship, which i imagine would take a couple days at least and that would probably be at least a few strips from now (unless we start doing flash forwards), maybe that will be how Chapter 2 ends?

We have sheets for Fireblade and Beryl and even those are supposedly out-of-date. The rest of the sheets are being carefully hoarded.

Tempo's sheet is old and has some spoilers/inconsistencies (as the GURPS telepathic combat abilities don't match up well with what the Loroi can do), but nothing that can't be fixed with a little blackout.

Alex's sheet doesn't have much of interest in it.

Is that the story behind the "edited" quirks for Beryl as well?

Indeed, Sense of Duty (*redacted*). Hmmmmm.

Yes. Though some of it is not spoilers, but obsolete information. So don't lose too much sleep over it.

For my part in what will no doubt be a storm of mad speculation, I'm gonna say it says "Greywind" and she was put on-board to keep an eye on Stills.

Page 99 and 100 have some very good body language depictions with the eyes, arms and hands. Not easy to give a "strong" yet subtle image in a still frame but there are some very good depictions of it here.

The treatment this boy has undergone has been horrendous. I know of zoos in which the animals receive better treatment.

Bad Reputation is racial, Loroi are generally seen as unpleasant for a variety of reasons. Bad Temper will be interesting to see when it kicks in.

I see the GURPS stats for the main Loroi characters and I keep wishing we had a running game of some sort...ah well!

Both... no, all three Game Masters went by-by on us... really a shame actually. The pbp games all had potential.

Fireblade : Beautiful (10 points)
Tempo : Beautiful (10 points)
Beryl : Attractive (5 points)

:(


I guess she needed the points elsewhere.
