Love them!
Thanks for posting!

Whoever gets access to our historical records might decide they need to prune us anyway. (WWII, the continuous and repeated atrocities against Jews everywhere, Myanmar, Horoshima&Nagasaki, China/Uyghur, Holodomir, ...) The Insider describes similar activities within Loroi-societies. But it will show...

Wonderful!

Also, welcome sdfgeoff

well, cloud is directly below Tempo, and the mistrust against the Mizol extends to her because of her job. And being in that job might also mean being submitted to regular mid scans to check loyality and danger of subversion by others. This also sets her off from the rest, resulting possibly in a st...

And finding some Humans on a shuttle somewhere, capturing them and experimenting on them might not give the knowledge that the Humans have a lotai . They might find that out if they subverted some Loroi to work with/for them to analyse aliens. The war is old enough that that might be "loroi kids" wh...

It's the rhyme. In Germany well known, in two versions: Messer, Schere, Feuer, Licht, sind für kleine Kinder nicht. is the one I grew up with, Light stands here for electricity, when electricity was basically only used in households to light the house. Messer, Gabel, Schere, Licht sind für kleine Ki...

beautiful story. Thank you.
And thank you, Wolf, for the illustrations.

Then the current 'Shuttle Arc' happens, greatly humanizing the already human-looking aliens. Now Jardin is being armed by the Loroi, and going to fully participate in a military action with the Loroi. He's pretty much chosen a 'side'. And it was an easy choice, since they looked human and acted wit...

The Umiak Captain had no reason to want to meet a "hot space babe". However, he just couldn't resist the word "click". Such a nice word. Clickity-Clititty-Clickity-Click-Click. The lights go on, and Fireblade enters the bridge, assessing the carnage with a satisfied smirk, "Am I hot, or what? Oh ye...

Regarding Shoegirl's (Cloud) quick death: that might be by design too. If you need to fake that the shuttle is not unmanned, you need someone. I don't know in how far pain translated into Sanzai and from there into the minds of the other Loroi. It might be difficult for all Loroi to stay hidden if t...

And in zero g she will remain so forever.
Cloud has become immortal!


Also, I wonder if the Umiak destroy empty shuttles because they've obviously been controlled by a personality construct of that weird Historian race....

Okay, so you were really about the looks of the cat.
Had to look it up, and indeed, in AE esthetics is a correct spelling. That's what I stumbled more over...

Hideous to look at.
But then also morally questionable to ...
Anyway, space pirates are likely less concerned with "moral" behaviour anway...

Chapter 5. Letting the cat out of the bag. "It gets more interesting. I began asking the Union scientists aboard Sword. In general terms of course. The Union doesn't have this level of expertise either. Union medical science is amazing compared to ours, but to create a new type of brain? I even ask...

In clouds case, i could see her last orders being "shoot them as they breach and fight till the last round. Then make your choice, by there hand or yours, Die with honor in battle." And if it goes wrong, she's captured alive... With all the experimentation the Umiak did on Seren's population, I won...

I need new shoes.
This now has to wait a month.
Mourning period starting now.


May we have a minute of silence?


(nice precognition, Dragoongfa)

Ouch. I once heard an Achilles tendon snap while playing volleybal.
I hope your docs know how to treat the achilles heel well, so that this will never happen to you.

Cerulean Wings [...] "I've looked it over, Marie, and it's really incredible," Ms. Tolson said. "As far as I'm concerned if it does what they say it can, you'll walk better than I ever could have helped you. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Marie nodded. I would put the "Marie nodded" into a new line. ...

Very nice bonding.

I wonder how long it took the Loroi to accept the Nissek's drive for food first, in order to get things done.

Chapter 1b. Warm Front --- [...] "No. It's tribal armor. My Navy armor is already aboard." Wildfire sent her identity to the Teidar and asked "How many of her crew are already aboard?" [...] [a]"Ah.."[/i] Scar sent and sent an animation of a besai that had a large lump below it that moved up and do...

The tree-like ships (Sonliri?), that are extradimensional, as they can exist in another dimension and still function, which none of us can do.
