Re: 210 Far-sensing?
Well I wil say this for Tempo... she has courage that is sure. Going solo around a bunch of enemy soldiers who could kill her if they found her is very brave. But then again it's not like she has a good alternative either. Either that or Tempo is so confident in her abilities that she that she thin...

Re: 210 Far-sensing?
Anyway, I looked at the new chapter again and realized that Beryl is the lone Loroi on the right side of the door and that Alex is still invisible. This means that he is indeed hijacking Loroi telepathy, most probably Fireblade's, while remaining undetectable. Alex is indeed invisible in the pictur...

Re: 210 Far-sensing?
Humanity's psychic ability was likely neutered, or twisted in on itself to act like some faraday cage from all other psychic signals going in and out, after it was studied, and replicated for the Loroi IMO. What if that Soia psi-block was installed not to merely neuter human abilities, but to preve...

Re: 210 Far-sensing?
The human shapes inside boxes are perhaps just for size, as Alex is quessing what is inside, though that the image is clear enough that Alex can count them does awake questions. Perhaps it was grim task of Fireblade to load them, so she did included the number at her sending. Well, you are basicall...

Re: 210 Far-sensing?
One has to wonder if Alex is developing far-sensing or if he is developing the ability to piggy back... ether way. Then there also seams to be an attempt to possibly erase the fact he and the rest of his ship ever existed. If he would piggy back, he would have to hear at least some of the Loroi's t...

Re: 210 Far-sensing?
I am pretty sure that Alex is somehow sensing everything that Fireblade is broadcasting and is even picking up the mental connections and deductions made up in her mind/the mental network. I am certain that Fireblade is broadcasting the situation to the others in order for them to be ready to act i...

Re: Page 209: Damn bugs and their chatter! Putting Alex to sleep!
I'm still waiting for the moment when Alex starts getting grilled about Mickey Mouse and its cultural significance in Terran funeral rites. :lol: "It's a song from childhood about saying goodbye... I couldn't think of anything better on the spot with everything that was going on." I honestly think ...

Re: Page 209: Damn bugs and their chatter! Putting Alex to sleep!
I still like the Umiak on ice theory. Simply have an autopilot, freeze down the Umiak & wake them shortly before the last jump. Deicing will take time, they perhaps keep themselves in medbay or under drugs. When the warp sickness wears off, they go into action. I think Arioch stated this. I dimly r...

Here we see Alex' ability for the first time, on page 18(!) in chapter 1:

Re: Page 209: Damn bugs and their chatter! Putting Alex to sleep!
hi hi My first thought is that physical contact does have some influence on how Alex is perceiving the other Loroi, and maybe all of them huddled together to sleep is what caused Alex to be able to sense their presence. But he also didn't see anything when Beryl was touching him quite deliberately....

Re: Page 209: Damn bugs and their chatter! Putting Alex to sleep!
I'm not sure if keeping this development from the Loroi is going to benefit Alex on the long run. Fireblade isn't going to be a happy elf if she ever finds out Jardin entered her mind and watched her memories without being detected or telling her after. The point is rather the exitement of the read...

Re: Page 209: Damn bugs and their chatter! Putting Alex to sleep!
Arioch, do weapons have a psi-imprint? If Alex can see the blasters' imprint, can the Lorois sense the same? No, inanimate objects don't have a telepathic signature. It would be inappropriate for me to talk more specifically about what Alex is perceiving, but I'll just caution against reading too m...

Re: Page 209: Damn bugs and their chatter! Putting Alex to sleep!
The light is centered around her body, there is a second smaller halo on her head I admit but the light is mostly coming from her body including her arms where the light rays show it quite clearly. Possible, yet none of the other Loroi but Fireblade is burning bright and Fireblade is not the one co...

Re: Page 209: Damn bugs and their chatter! Putting Alex to sleep!
Our fearsome party is right now in the middle of an Umiak fleet... but they don't have a Farseer at hand to tell them that. I mean that way Alex will be at least somewhat helpful after they are rescued. Maybe he can even teach other farseers how to find the hidden bugs under their mattresses . Righ...

Re: Page 209: Damn bugs and their chatter! Putting Alex to sleep!
Well, technically immunity to detection and immunity to telepathic contact can be separate from each other. We also haven't seen yet whether all humans are undetectable when this close to telepaths. Theoretically, yes, but I think that in this story, it works on the same principle. Also, Arioch onc...

Re: Page 209: Damn bugs and their chatter! Putting Alex to sleep!
The only question right now is whether Alex' ability to sense the Loroi is a special trait of himself or of humans in general.
And AFAIK we also don't know yet, whether all humans are shielded from the Loroi telepathy or only Alex.

Re: Page 209: Damn bugs and their chatter! Putting Alex to sleep!
Possible, yet none of the other Loroi but Fireblade is burning bright and Fireblade is not the one controlling the Umiak. If its general sense I would think Alex would see 2 bright Loroi not just one and that all the other Loroi are a different colour. It's her amplifier that burns bright. It's qui...
