Oh god, are we in a race for the next chapter? Whoever continues can make it work implemetning both. Trying to. Both of the last chapters are too good to pass up on. Besides being young and being sensitive about that, the GURPS sheet of Beryl does not tell me much about her. Has she been allowed to ...

The Umiak have pressed the Loroi hard for nearly the whole war. It's difficult to take the initiative while your enemy pushes you so. That the Umiak are willing to take horrendous losses in attrition assaults across a no mans land into farseer supported defenses means they're willing to spend this m...

You mean like this? Nice size. Many thanks. The point of the tankers and transports is that they're carrying their supplies with them so they don't have supply lines to be cut off. The goal is to get behind the enemy lines and wreak havoc - either the Loroi have to respond by withdrawing their fron...

If we're looking at a large scale invasion, the Loroi reserves might be able to cut off Umiak support. The Loroi may have lost their farsensing, but they can still make use of pickets and use their defenders advantage. Commanders like Stillstorm might turn out ot save the Union now. Who better to le...

True, true. So far cultural exchange went extremely well. Sooner or later our group will have to run into major roadblocks.

Were that a scene in an RTS game, one would say that the player on the Loroi side must have made some grievous mistakes even much earlier on to have it come to this. It's not that bad. The Loroi do have their own reserves built up. We're seeing a surprise attack but the Umiak haven't broken through...

Arioch, do you have any more pictures of Moonglow looking smug? Asking for a friend.

I actually wanted to take their chat into a different direction. One where Alex turns the tables on Tempo by his sensing of Loroi body language. But my vocabulary and sense of English isn't up to the task. So I settled on him remembering his duties to humanity to open up a way to steer this story ba...

It's fine. I enjoyed that part. You weren't rambling at all. Perhabs we should pick a story hook that is not dependant on the main comic as much as the shuttle the crew is in. Keeping Alex in the shuttle and not advancing the story seems to take a lot of effort. Tempo entered from the cockpit. The s...

Beryls answer came instantly: „In the last 500 solon he has reddened 4 times so far. This is the reddest he has gotten yet. His colour returned to his normal skin colour in an average of 140 solon. I can not exclude a possible health risk, but as long as his colour reverts, the risks should be mini...

I would agree if not for the apparent physical similarities. With the history of template species it is a very likely guess that both species breath roughly the same mixture. And Alex fell unconscious only minutes before. So getting him quick oxygen would have been beneficial. What do you guys think...

And I'm sure Beryl already got a good look at him, especially while peeling him out of his spacesuit and patching him up. I wouldn't be surprised if Spiral or Talon opened the suit while transporting him to the Tempest. They heard him go unconscious while radioing on the open frequency. So quick fi...

I like it. Short and a good piece of worldbuilding. I do wonder however how long this thread will refrain from rising in age rating.

Works for me. It's Friday evening and time to party. To her relief the moment passed quickly and Alex face returned to its normal colour. In fact his face proved to be a most promising object of observation in the following few hundred solon. After a while Beryl was able to guess from his mimic when...

Glad you picked up on the inspiration.

But...there isn't really a turn order in this thread, is there?

"What do you mean, Fireblade?" replied Alex. Fireblade seemed a bit uneasy with having to speak while every Loroi was focused on her and the creeping hoarseness in her voice reminded Alex why. "The Soia Liron was spacefaring. If some came to your planet and created Loroi then, your ancestors saw ou...

I don't want to poop on your party, but shouldn't Alex know that tolkienesque elfes were made up by some dude?

Reinforcements will need to marshal first and then cross the system to the correct jump point. Help may be several hours out, if not days. Can Mozins ship reach the shuttle in time or was his estimate already done with max acceleration? And if the shuttle is in the path of the torpedo barrage, is it...

She is pulling rank to show that snotty Listel who's wearing the psionic pants. Figuratively speaking, we all know Tempo wears the pants, Fireblade has the wifebeater.

Wasn't the gender dispaeity not something like 1:10? That would still leave every Loroi woman with sex once every three weeks if we assume one day of rest for males between mating encounters. That's hardly critical. What is happening may be the result of merit and prestige based mating encounters. O...
