Who was?

Who cares, if it's not relevant to the story?

Do loroi feel "Uncanny valley" effect when they see humans? Don't know about Loroi, but once one of russian readers said, that blue skinned Loroi looks for him like some kind of undead zombi. But it's rare case. The lack of facial expression or verbal communication of most Loroi certainly don't hel...

Loroi medical knowledge will include a lot of experience in dealing with alien species (which is evidenced by their ability to crack Alex out of his suit and treat his wounds without killing him), but Loroi military vessels do not usually carry alien crewmembers, and so their facilities for handlin...

Speaking of which, how would the Loroi handle something like the Alien situation. I assume far more easily, insofar as they are telepathic and militaristic. I agree, it would probably not turn into much of a "situation" with the loroi being telepathic, able to exchange thoughts with each other tele...

I mean, assuming they don't come up with a brilliant plan, they might have a lot of sitting around doing nothing ahead of them. While this makes sense from a hyperrealistic perspective (i.e., how things might really happen in such a situation), it doesn't really move the plot or advance the story i...

I'd rather the focus be on more pages, tbh. I got spoiled by the 2-3 pages a month summer we just went through. I agree. Sometimes I've worried that world-building could be the death of this comic. But Arioch seems to have gotten most of the important and relevant elements of the backstory done. Le...

Aaaand... Beryl almost fully switched to the "protect/care for the male" mode, giving the Loroi in the passenger section only a passing thought in favour of his small head wound... They may have all checked in with each other via sanzai - in fact, Beryl knows the others in the "back" are fine and a...

So, with no power to monitor the situation in the system, Alex and company will have little to do except wait as they coast away from the fighting. There's not likely to be much fuel left for maneuvering after trying to outrun the offensive coming in on their heels, so their plan at this point will...

An excellent visualization of the various meteor showers, clearly showing how each is debris from a spent comet: https://www.meteorshowers.org/view/all Select individual groups to more clearly view each orbit. It's also just a nice demonstration of the orientation of our solar system relative to th...

I had a thought, maybe expanding a bit on some earlier speculation. What if the Outsiders are the Loroi? And Humanity's territory offers a place of exile and respite after the Umiak basically roll over the Union? Yikes! And might we hear about the fate of the rest of the Scout Corp? CJSF The Umiak ...

You ran out of week, Arioch! ;) I hope we get a double post this week. I hope everyone's been well.. catching up on the forum a bit.

To be honest, I think following this comic so closely is starting to cause me more problems in enjoying it. Much of that comes from my (our) uber-scrutinizing it and Insider during Arioch's long hiatuses. When I first found the comic, when most of Chapter 1 was already done, it was like picking up a...

I'm trying to square Mozin's arrival with the timing of everything. Haven't the couriers (having been completely surprised) just jumped out a matter of minutes prior? How did Mozin hear of the incursion and get to the system so quickly? Did I misunderstand the use and timing constraints in-universe,...

Hey Arioch I had a quick question, I was going over possible lines this story might take and I gotta ask. How dark is the end of this and the next chapter going to get? NO FURTHER ENHANCEMENT SPECIAL ORDER 937 SCIENCE OFFICER EYES ONLY Ok, so I wonder who Ripley is in this case... (and Jonesy)... I...

Jeckas! You guys sure have Tempo pegged as an ambitious and underhanded snake, ready to step on the fingers of anyone on the metaphorical ladder with her! Is there a GURPS sheet or something that's informing these character analyses? I mean, we can infer some things from the comic, but wow!

There's a heap of things I'd like to respond to when I have time, but at the moment this one really leaped out to me. The insider page on Loroi Warrior Rites of Passage has some interesting information regarding this. I hadn't read this page. I can't imagine Alex considering this social construct b...

Another question for Arioch would be, could a Mizol be trained in diplomacy and "deception" well enough to fool humans, who have lived their entire lives and generations with such abilities, vs. the Lorori, who normally cannot lie and view words as tools of deception? Would Alex know if she was bei...

Arioch is quite talented at conveying emotion and depth in his characters' facial expressions, so I find it funny that some of us have such different opinions on what Fireblade's expressions seem to indicate. Some of us (including me) see her as concerned and interested - as well as annoyed at times...
