I don't think Alex seeing Fireblade's psychic silhouette is as much telepathic as a telekinetic fingerprint or after effect, lingering from her attempt to access his mind earlier. That might mean she's keeping a light telekinetic "touch" on him in case she needs to take quick action. I still don't ...

OH THANK GOD SOMEBODY DID THIS!

C'mon guys... it's not like they are anywhere near an intimate setting - even for a Loroi! They are in the middle of a shuttle, with two pilots, two guards and a... scary person, about to do some really hairy maneuvers. Take some cold showers. Sheesh.

Alex: "And if you can get safely aboard, what then?" Talon: "You wished to see something interesting, Enzin. I think maybe now you will see it!" Alex: "Don't feel like you have to impress me!" I don't get what is confusing people about this interchange. For nonnative speakers it's easy to confuse m...

I've failed to understand what exactly Alex trying to say to Talon: Don't feel like you have to impress me, Talon! He don't think Talon must impress him by something in the future? Or Talon didn't impressed him by previous phrase? Some sort of fancy flying skills that involves Gora Station and High...

I don't remember seeing or learning this ever. Where did you learn it?

I don't see how one could expect Beryl to be meaning and speaking in a way to imply what some of you are thinking. Loroi society and gender relations are very different than humans'. I think she's being 100% factual. Now it might be funny if Alex assumes what some of you are assuming and Beryl is ei...

So, while most Loroi cannot simply read the minds of all other Loroi, secrets can be hard to keep, especially from your friends. Thanks for taking the time to explain. If one extends the question to non-Loroi minds, would one expect that if an unskilled or inexperienced Loroi was in a roomful of "a...

I'm still confused as to whether a Loroi can or cannot keep thoughts completely to themselves or not.

I think we're going to get a more extended interaction (perhaps in person) with the Umiak and Klicky 27, and I think we're going to find out they are quite different in many regards as we (and the Loroi) have made them out to be. Not that they're going to roll over and surrender, but we're all going...

I think our perception of time and events is skewed, as we're waiting several days or so between pages. I don't think even a minute has passed since the unexpected acceleration, and it does look a little in that first panel on this page that Beryl is still a little stunned or at least catching her b...

So Naam is pronounced like "name" in English? Wow, that's not at all how I heard it in my head. I don't think I ever say or hear a difference between Bret and Brett (really?) and the Japanese example is totally lost on me. But thanks for trying to explain it to me. CJSF I understood it's exactly op...

Double vowels indicate a long vowel (there is an emphasis on the syllable). Double consonants are "hard"; again it's a change in emphasis, though it's more subtle. Like the difference in pronunciation between "Bret" and "Brett," or in Japanese between "doko" and "mokkori." Also, "Ened" would have t...

Are translated double-letter words pronounced differently than if they had single letters? We are reading a contemporary English "translation" of Trade in the Loroi dialect, so I am not sure what the purpose of these seemingly extra letters are. Is "Naam" pronounced differently than "Nam" or "Nahm"?...

On what platform? I can't read anything on this forum with Chrome on my LG Android phone, unless I zoom way way in. Does it work better with another browser?

That's what I said.

I hope Talon and Sprial make it, damn it, Arioch!

Another thing that puzzles me very much is Ashrain's reference to 'extinct species'. One could argue it away as conjecture on her part, like "SG51 came from Naam, where we all know there is nothing of value beyond - not anymore", or, just to have some sort of justification on the record if there wi...

I predict in next pages Tempo will enter the cabin (maybe even drag Alex to camera) and... "persuaded" Clearbrook. "Follow your goddamn orders. This is your final warning." "Oh sh- okey, my bad." I suspect they will either end up on the white haired girl's cruiser or there are some other factions l...

My money is on: The Umiak have developed some kind of anti-Loroi psychic scream weapon. Beryl realises she is immune because she is touching Alex at the time, which dampens or even cancels the weapon's effects. Humanity is now key to Loroi survival. L. Oooh, I like that theory. Especially because i...
