Tis a shame. Sorry I couldn't be around more than I was.

Sun... Would you like some Industrial Strength Mind Bleach? I keep it on hand for times like this.

Tinel makes her way to the indicated compartment after making contact with the Pideir in question, bypassing damaged sections as necessary, to make contact with the Pallan, as ordered, calling in her contact to the captain, "Maziet, I have contact with the Teidar Pallan. She appears injured, though ...

Tinel stands, testing the limits of her injury and nodding in response to her captains orders, <<Understood completely, Maziet.>> she sanzai's in turn, moving to accompany Nerala off the bridge, leaning against the wall of the lift a moment to let the burning in her side lessen just a little as she ...

This... I will be watching for this. Discord is right in that it could definitively be done very wrong, but if it's done right, it'll be awesome.

All but launched from her seat at the sudden deceleration, Tinel's forward momentum was, fortunately, stopped by one of the consoles!... Less than fortunately, as her breath exploded from her mouth in a 'Whuff!', the console and physics also decided that a cracked rib was the appropriate penance. Bo...

@ Senanthes You may get your wish on those Kirov's word in the Navy is that the Russians are bringing them out of retirement and refurbishing them with deployment around 2020 http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/1144-units.htm - ' In December 2011 it was reported that the Russian Def...

My first impulse would be a Kirov class ship, just for the humor of being able to say... "Battlecruiser operational!" :D On a more serious note, I'm fairly open to various ships as options, and that ROK boat is nothing to sneeze at. For general wartime duties, I wouldn't mind a Burke, or even the ol...

To a degree, I'd agree. However, there are times that the difference is great enough that I start to feel the character doesn't belong on the most fundamental level at times. My prior Loroi was one such character, in retrospect, despite how much I liked her. Just didn't feel right.

Could very well be, Nemo. I can't, and won't, argue with that. My point is only that we shouldn't talk ourselves out of trying, be it with the Alcubierre theory, or something else. It's just the only thing out there that isn't a complete work of fiction right now, but I don't discount the idea of so...

Thank you RedDwarf. Saved me some typing tonight. The short of it is, it's the only theory so far that's being researched as being viable in any way, to the best of my knowledge. Frankly, that's a big step above just throwing in the towel because it looks like an impossible problem on the surface. A...

Are we still go for this? Just checking.

Funny... When Alcubierre first presented his theory, he got laughed off the stage, so to speak. Now, it's becoming the go-to for what may prove to be our ticket to the stars in time. Gotta love irony.

The theory is on wiki, and makes for decent (read; informative) reading for the curious.

Alrighty! Thanks for indulging me!

To clarify, the armor query is in regards to shipboard Loroi, not infantry. And I'm not seeing enough similarities in terms of armament to consider today's firearms a viable example... Last I checked, nobody was deploying particle beam rifles after all, so there is no practical experience to draw in...

Common sense prevails, gotcha. .

Two more random questions... It's been said that Lori small arms are largely particle weapons, yes? Do they use projectile firearms for any purpose in the modern era? Also, regarding everyday Loroi armor, is it commonly worn when they sleep, as well?

Coffee in space and Harrier: Legendary Mode... Which is more epic is up for debate.

Mizol Sanzet Tinel (Silversun) Background: Born on Deinar, Tinel was discovered to have telekinetic abilities early in life, as with many other such infants. However, her talents leaned more towards precision than power, which led her away from her mothers caste (Teidar), and instead saw her enter ...

I remember reading that Mizol occasionally undertake direct action missions, which I assume are special forces style operations (assassination, sabotage, extraction, etc.). Are there teams established specifically for direct "sharp end" assignments? Or is every Mizol expected to be able to do so on ...

I'll be finishing Tinel tonight, and will have her profile up for perusal thereafter. I'll be leaving a bit of wiggle room in terms of what she's doing there to start with, but beyond that, I'm just wrapping up the details.
