Re: Page 224: Optimistic Way Of Looking At Things
Always glad to get a new page! Question, though: What makes the Loroi think that the Umiak wouldn't investigate anything about one of their ships in the formation suddenly ceasing to follow orders/keep formation? I could see if, say, Tempo was on the radio doing her best Han Solo "We're all good do...

Re: Happy Halloween 2023
Beautiful artwork. Nice to see some of the secondary characters get some attention, too.

Re: Inevitable Best Endings Versus Endings That Could Have Mutiple Good Endings...
Dukat was an incurable narcissist, and that was his fatal flaw. I thought they portrayed that pretty well throughout his entire arc, and I'm not sure there ever was a point where Dukat was truly on the road to redemption. He was only taking different approaches to seeking validation for his point of...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Since a cargo ship can generally only set up transfer lines with one ship at a time Why not two - one on the port side, one backbord? Or even four, including top and bottom, too? Even with four, a minimum of agility is still attained; also emergency separation. You'd very, very rapidly reach a poin...

Re: what names mean
My name could be interpreted to mean "strong and brave farmer of noble birth." I guess my parents didn't bother too much with etymology when choosing my name.

Re: Sex Questions
Well, since such interesting topics have gone, can you ask a couple of three? First, I guess this question has been asked many times already, but in the eyes of Loroi, would human men be attractive? if so, for example, high growth and muscularity would be perceived as a positive trait or would it b...

Re: Happy Independence Day
Also a thank you to avatar576 for his work. Glad to be of service. I've always believed that if you want to see a person's true character, cut off his TV and internet. It's my job to fix it when it goes down (or gets taken down). It's not the most glamorous job, but I take some pride in what I do.

Re: Happy Independence Day
Already been on one emergency callout this morning thanks to some careless kids -- Don't need another. On duty for the holiday? Be safe. Yep. On call. Some kids were playing with fireworks and set their neighbor's hedges on fire. Burned the hedges to the ground and knocked out the overhead power an...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path
Ok, that actually makes sense. And your two theories are compatible with each other: Stillstorm, because she doesn't get along with the Empress, kept Tempo out of the interrogation, which backfired on her when they made no progress, so she kicked him off the ship (and got rid of Tempo in the bargai...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path
But there is a more fundamental problem with the "Tempo is in control" scenario (where are people discussing this, by the way?), which is, if a Loroi can exert that much control over Alex while he is unconscious, then what stopped them on board the Tempest? He was unconscious then too. The entire p...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path
Wartime is hardly the time to ask for permission. I'm just saying, if I were in Tempo's shoes, I'd play my cards differently. But I'm not Tempo, I'm not a Loroi, and I'm not in a life-or-death situation. It is all too easy sometimes to forget that the Loroi aren't blue-skinned, pointy-eared Humans....

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path
I think this speculation about Tempo being in control is a red herring. My speculation is, only a Teidar has telepathy powerful enough to crack the Human lotai, and it requires the Human's cooperation to get anything at all. If Alex and Fireblade were to consciously work together (hah), they might ...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path
Don't forget that the Loroi as a civilization is desperate to win the war, and has and is willingly to commit essentially crimes against humanity/war crimes to that end. By now everything is fair game... because the Loroi are on the verge of losing their stalemate and I reckon Tempo knows that. Lik...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path
Not sure if that makes sense. When Alex was experiencing the dream sequence, he was interacting with the "people" there. That sounds more participatory than merely passively receiving. I think there are two possibilities about what's going on in that dream sequence: 1. Fireblade is known to "talk" ...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path
Well, if Fireblade does not understand what is going on, in spite of the fact that she was apparently ordered to connect to him, then Alex may be more powerful than she is mentally, and could even be in control of the process, even though he isn't consciously aware of it. I don't think that's true....

Re: Chris Hanson's Show VS Loroi Visitors On Earth...
But if that's not enough to advocate the point, consider the independent art piece "Valentine's Day 2013: Lanzei," where a certain Listel is planting an obvious smacker upon the smooches of one E.A. Jardin, her eyes sealed in a dazed, pleasant state. And very lacking in body armor. So if that's not...

Re: Chris Hanson's Show VS Loroi Visitors On Earth...
This same question seems to come up repeatedly in various incarnations. I still find it highly unlikely that the vast majority of Loroi females would take any particular interest in copulating with human males of any age. The primary reason is that sex is not primarily a recreational activity for Lo...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path
The fact the Orgus ran into humans from the opposite side of the Umiak expansion shows Sol may be a path to a flanking movement by the Loroi Union. I think that's the main thing humans offer at this point. Well, by the same token, the Umiak could do the same. So in this regard, each side has a vest...
