Perhaps something along the lines of: I can only be punished for flirting with the human if we survive this mess. YOLO!

I wonder how much mobility these stations have, since if they're taking hits then their orbit will be affected and need correction.

These pages have been like sequential cliff hangers as the situation grows increasingly dire.
I wonder if going silent and hiding near the star is an option, in the event that humiliating them into action and rerouting to rendezvous sooner doesn't work.

You can see when people joined right under their screen name on any post they make. : )

(someone may have already said this) Am I the only one who can't help but hear Talon's and Spiral's voices with stereotypical "eastern European" accents? I know that's a bit USA-centric of me, but I can't help it! :) Looking at the pronunciation of the various Trade Language characters in the Insid...

Are there psychic arts in Loroi culture? Poetry, music, painting, or interpretive dance? Or if it is sensed in a kinetic fashion, artistic massage?

What's the tolerable temperature range for Loroi -- bare to the elements and no windchill, since clothing expands on that sort of thing dramatically.

I imagine that if Alex ever gets enough consecutive moments to develop some camaraderie with Talon or one of his "honor guards," that he's going to bemoan the fact that under more relaxed conditions he might have been able to further Human-Loroi relations simply by chatting up every xeno-curious, bl...

This may have been asked before but will the human dead from the Bellarmine be making any reappearances? Are they kept for study or have they been processed for burial/disposal?

If they're expending their reserves and leaving the shuttle behind, then lining up the speeding ships to set up an umbilical will be tense indeed. I imagine Alex is at the very least hoping there will be an umbilical to dash through, as he has probably had all of the propulsion-less EVA he wants to.

Depending on expense of production and the speed at which self-driving programs are adopted, we could see some zero-blind-spot vehicle designs using ALON.

If sansai makes secrets and lying next to impossible, why did Beryl ask Alex not to repeat anything about a breakthrough on page 103? Or is it possible to keep secrets and therefore necessary to keep that piece of information to spread beyond the immediate crew? Because speculation isn't lying, but...

Are there particular themes that as a result of culture strike the Loroi sense of humor particularly well, or especially poorly? Alex's remark about "thinking out loud" , seemed quite amusing to Beryl, so juxtaposition and contrast apparently work as themes. Would slapstick, or misunderstanding, or ...

How is the Loroi-Trade vocabulary managed? Do the various species that use trade keep a common dictionary, with a local dictionary of slang and culture specific words kept for themselves?

What happens psychically or telepathically when a Loroi goes to sleep? Doesn't the communications of their fellow Loroi keep them up or rouse them, like a group speaking nearby to someone attempting to rest would? Are telepathic sensations simply not alarming or disturbing to Loroi because only othe...

Alex could potentially be experiencing some bacterial adjustment, as happens when you go somewhere distant and the local produce colonizes your gut with their strains of bacteria. In that case we may yet see him able to stomach the food he's given, if not enjoy it. His disagreement with his meals mi...

Do mothers who bear sons find themselves the recipient of unofficial favor or respect in Loroi society? Or, for that matter, official state favor and recognition?

Are Loroi able to broadcast their experiences in the moment? As in full body physical sensations that are felt by the receiver, or would it be more or less like being told about how a person feels rather than feeling it?

Games: board-style games (like chess) Alright! Now that's the kind of thing you need to make inroads with a foreign military as a tactical wunderkind! Games with moving pieces (like the Loroi version of chess) tend to have pegs that go into slots so that they can't easily be shifted telekinetically...

What are some common Loroi pastimes?
