Ikr? I voted and then spent the next 20 minutes puzzling over who exactly I voted for.

My votes along with quick reasoning. Executive Officer Sharon O'Malley She could cover for us in terms of stewardship and intrigue, with decent martial score means she's no slouch in a fight either. Makes for good chemistry. Communications Officer Mandeep Singh Good all around, seeing how he'd be th...

I like names that have clear and distinct meanings. That way, no matter how we play it, our name would always be relevant, be it in a prophetic or ironic way.

To jump into this a bit late, I'd like to add that there has been recent historical speculation that it was also the threat of a soviet invasion that helped pushed the Japanese into capitulation. I think that's true, but neither of these elements "won" the war; they just helped to get the Japanese ...

"Cowardice in the face of the enemy warrants a summary execution on the spot without the need of a court-martial.” - Is that a common military rule? I thought it was just something that the Commissars of 40k do. Well, best wishes for you and your loved ones Dragoongfa. I hope you remain physically a...

I'd like to second Dragoongfa's statement. Both sides have presented their arguments well enough. As a person who isn't knowledgable in diplomatic conduct, there has been enough information posted on this thread for me to draw my own conclusions. Considering how everyone has their own strong convict...

As a courtesy, the loroi would speak trade or a human language even to each other while surrounded by humans but, of course, they would lapse into sanzai as well, causing a stuttered speak. They may also momentarily forget that the humans cannot understand sanzai from time to time, send something, ...

That may be it. I guess its the classic 'I don't know how to do it, so those that could must be outstanding, since I'm not dumb' scenario. :P Funny thing really, humanity is the only race that could teach the Loroi how it is like to be a non-telepath. I wonder what a Loroi raised by humans (only, no...

Well, differing views among the readership aside, I enjoyed reading this update. To change the subject though, why are the Loroi so puzzled at the Human ability to learn trade in the aforementioned timespan? Especially coming from them, since they can have both eidetic memory and the ability to tran...

Hmm, I did a quick search, and apparently this hasn't been asked, so I'll go post it here. While the telepathic nature of Loroi means that non-telepathic forms of communication are seen as less colourful and more bland compared to humanity's view of the same communication mediums, does that mean tha...

Thanks for the update. That was a nice read.

Was reading through the Insider archive of Arioch answers. Though this might be pertinent. "Some of the characters have bluer lips to exaggerate their feminine characteristics (Tempo's being the bluest). Whether this is the natural result of her hot blood and pale skin, or some sort of makeup, is be...

So the only Loroi who talk are merchants, diplomats and politicians... no wonder the Loroi consider all speech as a means of deception :P :shock: Wow, that really does put things into perspective. :| Plus, the Loroi don't have lawyers due to the telepathy. So the people who talk really are the weas...

Great update! I guess that's why no one in the comics have any scars at all. Despite being part of one of the most elite squadrons in the Loroi fleet. I wonder why their encyclopedia/database is so disorganised. Is it because they are rendered redundant by their memory and telepathic capability? Gue...

I'm going to have to agree with dfacto here. Although it is true that in normal circumstance Fireblade should remain on the ship, it makes sense that she's part of escort. Reasons: 1) Since the Loroi still have a strong warrior culture, taking personal charge of the escort might be seen as her duty ...

Also, I think that I will now be able to squeeze two updates every week instead of just one.

*Cheers*

(Is sanzai a verb? Can you sanzai about something?)

Sounds legit to me. It does sound better than sanzais.

Sigh... I guess beryl just lost her long awaited chance to have a non-monitored and open-minded discussion about humaniti with alex.

That last line... Heh. Probably sounds a bit insulting. I'd say the last line was both a way of 'yanking their chains' and a warning. Humanity is not going to be blindly accepting of the Loroi. Agreed. Though as a stray thought, I wonder how much future policy (If humanity did enter the war on the ...

Good continuation.
Lets see how marines react when they inevitably meet their loroi counterparts.
