Re: Page 189: GO AWAY!
For little we know about her, she is more likely to grab Alex and threaten him with an one-ticket-trip via airlock unless he explain himself RIGHT NOW...
...with the added problem Alex still cannot hear her Sanzai, and Fireblade won't believe it.

Re: This is why every AI needs the Three Laws of Robotics
There is an interesting commentary in the youtube video. In most sci-fi fiction, humans´biggest advantage against robots is our pretended ability to think outside of the box.
This experiments proves the opposite: for the A.I, there is simply no box.

Re: 182
I bet on Beryl and Tempo getting a bit suspicious at that point. And surely one of them, Tempo most likely, will ask Fireblade if she had a reconstruction procedure done on her right eye... I could see their reactions to be a bit varied. Beryl might be overjoyed at that prospect (though sort of jea...

Re: How to Make Mecha Work in a realish setting
I decided to do a integrity check at the start after responding to the original attack about 5 ton mech ;) You know the Mech weight I gave and armour of 20mm? It was a lie, totally made up to be far heavier. I wanted to see if. https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/063/491/my_trap_card.j...

Re: Outsider 181: Foot-in-Mouth Disease
The Loroi have a society in which being insensitive is considered a virtue; it's a form of being honest. No one is angry at Alex for saying something about something that he could not have possibly known was a sensitive subject. And victimhood is not considered a Loroi virtue. Alex hasn't exactly b...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Alex's dreams will still likely center on the nightmare that happened to him and his crewmates just a week or two ago. Though it is likely only a matter of time before his hormones start to work their way into his dreams again. Though the question on if that will start to include some of his blue f...

Re: page 180: Nightsky
Even if Alex begins to suspect, maybe he won't be on a hurry to let the Loroi know they can actually overcome his lotai to a degree, if mindprobed hard enough.

Re: page 180: Nightsky
Imagine Fireblade's reaction when she finds out herselt as the only Loroi who can get into Jardin's mind. Which among other things means Tempo permanently assigning her as the human bodyguard.

Re: page 178: Beryl's time of her life
I think Alex motives are simpler. He is in a very bad situation, forced to depend entirely on his alien rescuers/captors, so he logically wants to establish positive relationships with them while gathering as much intel as posible. Up to this point, Jardin has a general impression of the rest of the...

I read it that way too. She is excited to be alive, and enjoying that, despite the war. And she prefers this dangerous environment over the "Sand". And she definitely enjoys being the chronicle of meeting the possible template species for her own species... She knows and understands she's at the co...
