Where might some of these enclaves and reserves be on Mestirot?

On undesirable land (deserts, swamplands, steep mountainranges,...).

So their pointy ears are an evolutionary vestige? Like an appendix?

As far as we know, the Loroi are a designed species (by the Soia), whatever they might think of themselves.

't Is nothing. Just a starhanger instead of the good ol' cliffhanger...

Another possibility is that hardtrooper armor can take a couple shots at half strenghts setting.

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.

"Loroi head in a jar" anyone?

And THIS is why no sane alien race wants to make open contact with the humans of Sol III... 'Yaw so Violent and ALL Crazy!'

'snicker' {this is my teasing tone}

I guess this calls for an appropiate number of ROG's (Rods of God).

EDIT: And actual sea battleships with laser cannons could fire waaay more than spaceships before overheating since they have the ocean to dump heat into.

Copy that. Missiles with heat-sensors launched...

Knitted by mandibles no less!

And likely also not in Oxygen-filled environments.

If that's the case, would you consider a particle beam shot into a planetary atmosphere (with a large percentage of oxygen in it) a weapon of mass destruction?

I really doubt anything can be ejected from ship during jump. As description says "The jump is nearly instantaneous, so there is not much you can do while in hyperspace." In that context "nearly" likely meaning interval only atomic clock can measure. I had thought of an automated process. Ship jump...

Regarding losing connection with Spiral's engineering team - the connection was through Senzai, so the only thing that can disrupt the connection is if Spiral died or lost consciousness, right? Telepathy damping field technology? Then it should already be portable, and accessable by low-ranking Umi...

"...while Cloud digs a trench." That she will later be buried in. An interesting thought there. What happens with bodies (or objects of any other kind) that are ejected from a ship during hyperspace transit? Arioch said that a transit does take some time from the perspective of outside clocks, even...

Nice drawing of Reed.

So can we take it Reed is a native of the Menelos region?

This is news. So while sanzai is direct and truthful, a Loroi can choose whether to broadcast the message openly or keep it exclusive between herself and one other. Hence how two Loroi might be able to keep a secret.

We all await new surprises with all eagerness!

The more announcements, the less surprise.

Something else occurred to me. If humans can be trained to communicate psychically, they could, in theory, serve as crew on Loroi warships, I don't think any other species is able to do that. Not a huge gamechanger, but it might help make up for personnel losses. Most likely that would stay theory....

Spoken like a true gentleman.

Does that mean you're a proponent of "pistols at dawn"?

Bellarmine, the Captain that Alex's ship was named after and her scoutship went missing, presumed misjumped decades ago, and I don't believe that was the only one that's gone missing. so there are possibilities for the Umiak to have had a scout ship for more than a little while. THAT could be a gam...

Well, they overran the Orgus while already at war with the Union, in what sounds for all intents and purposes a well-coordinated assault. It does show they have the means to pull things off.
Also, it seems very much in line with their racial paranoid psychology.

Is it even possible to replenish taimat fuel tanks while the engines are working?
