Re: Page 167: This one's out early

Its, in the Loroi octal numerical system, and written from right to left, the unit number they're part of, namely the 51st raider squadron. Thanks for reminding me that the Loroi write right to left.... (Are they generally left-handed?) So it's "AE"; from the Insider Trade Language Numerals page we...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)

Oddly the two shoulder to shoulder somehow reminds me of Jem and the Holograms. Its probably the hair and face tattoo. Their hair isn't big enough for 80's style glam-rock, but somehow it triggers some very old memories. Though it may be the lips as well. Spiral and Talon's hair might not be, but F...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

I think people are conflating a diplomatic situation/'being-stranded-in-a-steel-coffin-behind-enemy-lines' with a sleepover. As I recall, president Obama didn't consummate his meeting with prime minister Netanyahu with a pillow fight and a blow job, and I'm not sure getting shelled by the egyptians...

Re: Outsider Tech: Sensors

Love how we're naming Kuiper Belt Objects. I think we're going to run out of mythological names from *all* mythologies long before we're done.

...or NASA will start funding archeological research to discover more names, lol.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

This might have been asked, but have the Loroi discerned *anything* physically detectable in their brains when it comes to telepathy or telekinesis? Any kind of brainwaves that could be measured by TL10 equipment? We may not understand how exactly the brain works, but we can notice areas of it light...

No. Umiak meat is black, stringy and acrid.

Re: Page 164: Smells like buttocks!

'Bad' or 'Good' is a matter for the history books. Nations act in their own self interest, with admittedly a few exceptions (the US and EU in modern times). In cases like this, one can only expect the Umiak and Loroi are acting in their own interest as well. From what I've seen presented in the comi...

Re: Page 164: Smells like buttocks!

If it were me, I would find a way to convey (silently) the situation with the Historian. Alex is there to make contact/pursue relations with the Loroi or the Umiak, not any other client species. I would not want to risk Humanity's image in Loroi eyes at all . Assuming the pocket historian is blind w...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

Hmm. I think our host said something like "food will be found from an unexpected source," and that telling us would be a spoiler. Maybe I'm thinking too close to Rule 34, or "fanservice", but aren't the Loroi mammals? Otherwise, I am also on Tempo's private stash. He finds out that Umiak taste like...
