That would be a truly shocking plot twist, the Umiak as the "good guys". I mean it's highly improbable, but it would be interesting to at least get some information on their culture and society, especially from their point of view. *And suddenly the comic took an unexpected turn, and The Stray pers...

Then what about more recent heroic deeds? Do they have stories about Kikkitik, for example, or other war heroes. Maybe about an colonial administrator who managed to complete the 5-year-plan in just 3 years? Do they have or even need propaganda for the common Umiak? Yeah, I don't think Umiak need t...

I've read up in the insider about Umiak. Man, these are pirates. They pirated their civilisation. They did not achieve it, they stole it. They remind me of Peter F. Hamilton's Tyrathca ( Reality Dysfunction series). They too evolved on a planet with another sapient life-form, and they were not the ...

Question how did the umiaki see the world without their augmented hardtrooper gear is it a wide spectrum of colors and shapes or various shapes that allow them to spot something and keep it in their sights like some predators?

I wonder if the umiaki could do asmr videos and get their resources that way.

A full-replacement cyborg probably doesn't have its original mouthparts, so the sound would be synthesized. Okay thanks, hard troopers are really hard core if they can tolerate having their mandibles removed As far as I understand it, there's only the brain in a hardtrooper 'body'. I actually thoug...

I saw the hard trooper where is its jaw so it can make all the clicks and ticks?

Then the Historian may not be lying after all. Alex may very well be in grave mortal danger so long as he stays with the Loroi.

Death by snu-snu?
OH NO!!! THE HORROR!!!

it won't be worth it in the end.

There are cameras inside the hangar, right? How can none of other bugs see Tempo? I've been wondering about all that since the whole boarding sequence started. No remote cameras, no drones, no failsafes for the cyborgs? Illusions only work against living brains, not AIs. Anyway, I think all those s...

Well that little pocket historian was right although what would Alex have to endure as a POW may make the Loroi kind of merciful.

Interesting well that must be something to see their worlds so does that mean they actually do have feast-orgies? If they do, no one knows about it. (In any species of over a billion individuals, somebody is going to be doing anything you can think of.) In all its interesting to see the duty and hu...

Will we see more of the Umaiki after this?

I take it the whole flee dines on this? Though the first Umiak you're likely to meet face to face are hardtroops, they're just the tip of the spear; the majority of Umiak crews are biological, like Kikitik-27, even though they may be gene-modified and artificially birthed. They eat normal food in t...

How do the standard Umaki eat their food i mean there has to be a ruling elite that get the caviar and champagne? They are not bugs and do have some culture its just hard to see given how OCD they are about their work. The true overlords do: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/d0/75/04/d07504deb4404928be58c8...

They can literally just mind meld and send that bugger back to his mother unharmed Christ that is terrifying. In all though is that Hard trooper floating or just walking?

Can I ask why the even bother using it when say a LIDAR and high powered telescope might do better? Its like Loroi a bunch of warriors just let the ball drop on one of the most important things ever at times. Maybe I am in the wrong area. LIDAR and telescopes are slower than light by their nature. ...

Farseers sense the Umiak crews rather than the ships, and it's very hard to tell the crews from other Umiak in the system, especially if there's an inhabited colony there. So they can't tell the difference between planet and ship based life forms? It's kind of like looking at the night sky with the...
