Humanity is superior...because we do drugs.
I admit, that's something I never found before in sci-fi.

Well, others were promoting suicide-missions, even "forced" ones...

"Normal" Loroi in combat against humans are not THAT superior, especially not against well drilled and armed troopers, or even Psychos with a strong desire to kill (the germans have a nice word for that: "Mordlust"). And add to that drugs like "Panzerschokolade" or Tilidin or whatever to make them ...

Not mentioned yet? Alex reaction: Drill kicking in, no flinching, determined expression. Go, man!! It's a bit trope-y, but I would be highly amused if humans turned out to be stupid good at in dismounted combat at baseline just because they don't rely on cybernetics or psionics. Just hand them a gu...

It occurs to me that if the umiaks are using some kind of psionic detection equipment, they might not know that Alex is even there. Good point. But i guess Umiak (at least in the same Group/Team/Bataillon) are connected by some sort of real-time network. So even if this Trooper couldn´t see Alex be...

hi hi

I wonder if any Loroi have mastered the art of telekinetically knocking themselves out of the way of an attack while making it look like they got hit?

According to the GURPS-sheets: Fireblade most likely, Tempo probably, Beryl almost not.

Not mentioned yet? Alex reaction: Drill kicking in, no fliching, determined expression. Go, man!!

Whow, guys (and gals?), i just learned more about AI-pics than until now combined!

Is there some sort of "AI-pics for dummies" somewhere on the net?
Some quick links for old f*rts like me? (Entry level or easily understandable would be fine...)

AI generated? Really? Not so bad!

Hm, can´t see a second one.
But at least Alex can earn some respect now - since male warriors are pretty much unheard of among Loroi/Loroi-lookalikes...

Now this is a real nice one!



Hm, doesn´t seem like a standard uniform, though...

I wonder where the brain in that thing is?

Hm, either bird brain, or perhaps some sort of "distributed" brain - like a Supraesophageal ganglion ?

The right "arm" already seems to be damaged/missing?
And what threw Beryl back? A kick?
Also: Did she miss? I can´t see any effect?

Other than questions: Merry Xmas everyone!
And Yay! New Page!!

Can Farseers be male or female? According to Insider: Loroi, yes. "Q: Do female Loroi believe/think that Loroi males are inferior/lower class? A: Not in general; on the contrary, males enjoy relatively high status in Loroi society. Males are smaller and physically weaker than females, but since phy...

This seems more a technical question than a Loroi related one, but since it pertains Loroi tech and communication, are digital transmissions within a star system instantaneous regardless of distance? Or is there a delay? Normal lightspeed delay, as Beryl states: https://well-of-souls.com/outsider/o...

Beryl has blaster rifle, and if the Loroi ship beam weapons are any indication (better than Umiak blasters for effective sniping range), I am betting their little blasters may look cute but are also the kind of thing that is akin almost to a star trek disruptor pistol Meaning you have... a beam wea...

"Moving OUTSIDE the hull"?
Uhm, not good. Even if they belong to this ship, this certainly doesn´t get unnoticed on other ships...

but lecturing others

More like being staggered over the thoughtlessness of some people.

Do I have that right?

Nope.

"There´s also a plume when engines are idling." There is? Yes. "Why wouldn't they be accelerating?" Did i say otherwise? Normally, to save fuel, I would assume you use acceleration as little as possible. I´d run the engines on their max efficency to save fuel/get the most acceleration out of a cert...

No, you could absolutely wind up in a 'win or die' situation, and trying to be nice about it can in fact be a burden to winning.

When you find yourself in that situation, you already lost.

Show me how you would solve/turn around that with kamikaze.

True, using the atom bomb in that situation almost certainly saved millions of lives.

That´s the "official" folklore.
Not everybody agrees to that.
And it is still inhuman.
