Just noticed Spacedock did an episode on particle beams. Worth the watch!

The Death Korps of Krieg would be proud.

By "septic" I just meant infected. The technical term is osteomyelitis.

Very sorry to hear that, man. Hope you get well soon!

I just realized that the strip is about to look like an FTL boarding action.

My background is in business, but my mom studied anthropology and I grew up with her books. It is my honest belief that what modern, Western society calls racism is simply an outgrowth of the tribalism that allowed modern man to get where we are today. We are damned good at bonding together and supp...

Alex: "And I shall call it... Winona."

GTA is nice and all, but since Alex is now a Captain and he and his "crew" are going to board a ship, they'd be pirates, not gangsters. I mean, we already had Halloween and Christmas specials with all the Loroi, so for this one, how about Alex as a pirate captain? 1vdw0If6Zzg Getting access to our ...

Now John Crichton, flying his white death pod, now that'd be a trip.

The best possible timeline. I think FarScape is the closest we'll ever get to an Outsider adaptation.

Yeah, either that or all of them as a DnD party. Alex will be the bard, I guess

But my question now:
What about Shoe Girl?

Rest in peace.

If the Terran scientists+engineers had to reverse engineer a minor piece of tech from the Loroi and Umiak to understand how it worked - say an energy based rifle - which one would be easier or closer from a technological perspective? I think the three seashells would be the first priority. :mrgreen:

Yeah, that's what I was getting at with 'contamination.' The bridge crew did not look to happy about Alex being there (at least not Rune Lorel and a few of the others who were shown looking back at him). As for Prophet's Reason, I'd be willing to bet that such an arrangement would fall under Mizol j...

Yeah, I think piggy-backing is what we're seeing. My guess is that he's only ever 'heard' from Fireblade when it comes to sanzai, simply because of her power level. Using the hearing analogy, he's mostly deaf and she happens to be able to shout very loudly. The difference now is that, in addition to...

Until they encountered Umiak, I always expected the 'reveal' to come in the form of Alex complaining about a very weird and realistic dream (because from his perspective, that's all it was). Now, though, he should realize that it wasn't a dream given that the hardtrooper he just saw is entirely to s...

I'm still waiting for the moment when Alex starts getting grilled about Mickey Mouse and its cultural significance in Terran funeral rites.

"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."

Not all of the script on Soia-era artifacts is the same; it appears that the language started to drift even before the Fall. Modern Loroi Trade has some adaptations to the ancient script. A modern Loroi can read the ancient version, though she might not pronounce the words correctly, and she may no...

This of course means that Fireblade is hot.

Well, she is capable of Pyrokinesis, thus she can set the dancefloor on fire. Literally!

That would certainly create some panic at the disco...

"Receive only" would not only make no sense, it would be quite weird story-wise. Or maybe I'm too spoiled by the various fanfics. It's a pity that "What to do with Jardin" was abandoned, it was hilarious. Receive-only fits the data we've seen thus far from my perspective. Alex is definitely receivi...

I think we've seen (with Alex so far) that the baseline capabilities are there, they're just not easily or consciously accessible. At the very least, we can receive a given value of the Loroi's "bandwidth." I don't know if Alex was getting any emotional input from Fireblade's two memories (or if tha...
