A backdoor that is swamped by an invasion army. Not really? The Umiak rolled over the Orgus pretty quick IIRC, I doubt there's a significant naval force left behind. Yet it is an invasion and scout army. Expansionistic, and set on expanding the Umiak territory in that direction. I doubt that they a...

The Umiak already know about the Bellarmine, AKA "The [Object In Question]." Do you really think Kikitik isn't going to report the mystery wreckage and how interested the Loroi were in it? Their intel may not be great, but the sudden appearance of a new race in the Union is something no one is goin...

Maps. We have our own region scouted and we probably have the Orgus's nav computer data as well, which gives a backdoor into Umiak territory.

Chapter 17, part 1 [...] “Ain’t that the truth!” He replied with a chuckle while slightly raising the sealed of f stump that used to be his left arm. “Although it didn’t do me much good when one of the armored pests got too close.” [...] “That’s they standard doctrine for non-telepathic races.

How many times has humanity expanded to a new planet and attempted to wipe out all life there? The answer would be none. Yet. And I agree that we (Humanity) should take the impossible decision and decide to empty large swaths of land from all Humans. For the same reason I advocate a gigantic shift ...

Yet I've read quite a few books where the narrative was misleading using this tactic. In the end the "unsocial, bullying, and aggressive bugs" were the good guys....

It is what is captivating me in this story too... :)

Umiak. Or, depending on the local dialect, Loroi.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

i am less concerned in her direct approach to securing the carrier of the information she needs. But she is looking forward to the interrogation in a manner that makes my hairs stand up. (which is not a bad thing, as this is just a story. And she really hates Umiak. More than the rest of all Loroi t...

Chapter 16, part 3 [...] Moments felt like eternity as he was constantly pressed against the floor, he needed to die before the witches got to him but he was completely helpless. After a while he hear d several running footsteps but they weren’t the quadruped pattern of his kind but the bipedal one...

Personally I am not interested in FirstPersonShooters at all.

I prefer strategy games (CIV, MoO,...), or adventure games (specifically StarControl / The Ur-Quan Masters).

I would guess the Humans accidentally cut off the Umiak soldiers from attacking the Loroi.

I still like it very much!

The price paid is rising, will the attained price be worth it?
But then, Humanities survival is at stake! What are a few soldier's lifes compared to that?

Can you please choose a topic name that is not so random?

Any planet with a significant population/culture will use its own calendar. Shipboard crews live on a schedule that has nothing to do with any calendar. The "standard" calendar is mainly a point of reference, for which weeks and months are irrelevant. Any sufficiently large culture will retain its ...

Oh, I love smartphone users. You can make the wweirdest things with them when they are focused on their screens. When waiting for lunch appointments, a lot of my colleagues stand around fixed on their screens. I always ask them if I can help them. The building does not allow GPS signals in, but if t...

Chapter 16, part 1 [...] The Soroin opened fire in unison, their particle blasters set at maximum in order to guarantee a crippling wound if not a kill. The Shells knew that the concentrated fire would instantly take out even hard troops and the they implemented a simple enough tactic for some addi...

It can still be base 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, etc...

I wonder why Patreons should get their thank-yous on the home page and not on the patreon page.... Not that I mind, but it seems weird to ask Patreons to come to the outsider comic homepage instead of the patreons page. By "thank-yous" do you mean the page image itself? I can attach the image to th...

Hello Leonardo!

And exactly that is what Mizol are trained in: speaking the truth, yet in a manner that makes you believe something which is not the full truth.

Anyway: good question, Alex. I'm looking forward to the next page with a wall of text.
