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?

If you have closed borders (as the Umiak did before the war), then you can mass forces on the border in preparation for an attack without the enemy having any idea that they are there.

Well there is a sound argument for border security

Well the Loroi waited to be attacked by the Umaki so it looks like waiting for others to do unto you is a bad idea. As opposed to attacking the Hierarchy in it's own territory, where Farseeing of enemy fleets is obscured by planetary populations, the shells are nowhere near as limited in logistical...

Anything to justify screwing over people you dislike? I meant Stilstorm deciding that Alex must be bound up and tortured. Or Greywind glassing the Tithric. Or the Hierarchy deciding that pre-emptively invading the Union is a good idea. It's seems like a recurring theme. So yes - kinda like that. We...

What do the Hardtroops eat do they simply recharge in a wall socket? Their electronic parts probably have a rechargeable and easily exchangeable battery pack. Their fleshy parts, that would depend what they found best; either they kept their internal digestive track (tongues, stomachs, intestines a...

What do the Hardtroops eat do they simply recharge in a wall socket?

I take it the whole flee dines on this?

I wonder if this story is going to have some allegory alluding to how we humans stress so much on security in order to 'feel' safe and how dangerous that can actually be. nonsense at the border is making ammo even scarcer in Texas. I do feel that someone making quite hasty decisions about what some...

The doors have a limited size. Don't expect more than one to pass through a gap in a wall at any given time. Those exoskeletons are HUGE.

Wait is this guy alone do the Umaki actually just send one soldier to search a ship? I mean yeah they do shit in a mulitasking manner all the time but one hardtrooper can't be considered enough in any case given the sheer way the Umaki throw numbers at their problems. Probably just story/art constr...

While the Umiak seem like ruthless bastards (though still unclear if in fact more ruthless than the loroi), I'm starting to see why the Umiak truly dread the loroi. If a Mizol can truly 'influence' an Umiak mind, then the Umiak have all the reason in the world to be afraid for their safety and rega...

KIlling it would kind of fuck them over in the long haul it would be wise to screw up its cybernetic brain and give out an all clear sign to their buddies and call it a day leaving the shuttle alone like trash.

Seriously though, what does kKt mean?

My guess - "Oooff!", "Damn" or "WTF", or any similar sound one makes when tripping or getting shoved

urk!

What about the rest of what was said by the umaki before it got thrown.

What's Krik mean

Fireblade's hair WILL NOT BE BOUND! How is the war still on at this rate why is she clearly holding her hair power back? Do humans give her a ton of hair spray like the 1980s to win the war against the bug? This last sentence of you struck me how the Humans will make the Loroi win. We Humans have b...

I am wondering will a matriarchal group respect a patriarchal one. I think it depends on the outlook of the individual or group and what is meant by "respect." The Loroi are already allied with species that are not matriarchal. Would humanity reject the Loroi as allies or think less of them because...

Fireblade doesn't need a gun although what is k chunk in this case. Music?

Heavy metal, one presumes... see also https://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider190.html.

It could be the latest song popular on the front lines.

Viruses must be specifically targeted at a particular species because the molecular vulnerabilities that the viruses attack are often unique to that host species (or group of species), and the viruses often don't have enough DNA to replicate on their own, so infection by an alien virus is very unli...
