Re: Page 132: Something Interesting

As lightning doesn't influence that detail it's not a matter of him (them) just sitting in the shadow. Compare with page 129. Everybody sits on same places, but have 3 steps of shadow/light. I've seen the same in the past. Arioch will probably update the patreon post and the page at a slightly late...

Re: Page 132: Something Interesting

Tempo on the other hand.... as a flag level officer i expected her to keep tabs on all new developments in a situation such as this. So i guess the shuttle has a decent in-shuttle comms system which allows her to stay informed while staying put. Would she really need comms for that? I assume she's ...

Re: A Call to... Arms - Page 127

Loroi males are much smaller than females. Can't remember the exact source, but they are something like <140cm in height, and similarly as slender as females. Hmm, a race genetically engineered to be composed mainly of hot aggressive females and twink males. These Soia guys are starting to sound ki...

Re: Page 131: The one in which we learn how Loroi swear

So much for the theory of a mental attack. Considering what characters get focused on in Insider, I predict Talon and Spiral (best girl) will get killed and Ashrain will save the main four. This will also give Alex a meeting with Greywind since Ashrain is related to her. If you mean the cast of cha...

Re: Page 131: The one in which we learn how Loroi swear

Another thing that puzzles me very much is Ashrain's reference to 'extinct species'. One could argue it away as conjecture on her part, like "SG51 came from Naam, where we all know there is nothing of value beyond - not anymore", or, just to have some sort of justification on the record if there wi...

Re: Page 131: The one in which we learn how Loroi swear

And if Alex is stuck in this system, chances are higher that his expertise can shine and convice the Loroi that he's not an agent of the Umiak. (nearly wrote Umgah...) How would the Loroi deal with the dnyarri? Would they end up like the Ur-Quan, or would they be more resistant (and maybe able to d...

Re: Page 130: Gotta Go Fast

*Are* any of the latest Umiak ships/crew being detected by Farseers? Alex has just wondered why all the ships/crew aren't equipped with this new technology or ability, but how does he know they aren't? Nothing we've seen in the comic since Naam indicates that any of the Umiak are currently being "f...

Re: New Page 128

If it means we get pages out faster, I'm fine with it. Super-professional Arclight is just so consistent, she even looks at the viewscreen in exactly the same manner every time she broadcasts. She found showing up on monitors inefficient, when she could be reporting intruder numbers and doing inven...

I'm not a politician, but how about "this mess has been going on for, how long exactly? 25 years, for three of your generations? And remember, most of it is happening in our back yard, not yours.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

I seem to recall you saying that loroi metabolisms are very effective (because they are designed that way, presumably), and that they can work full days on very small meals. At first I thought "oh they don't get fat, typical elf stuff", but then I thought about it again, and doesn't that work the ot...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread

It's hard to imagine a government that enforces a proscribed diet and compulsory exercise regimens that doesn't look suspiciously like IngSoc from 1984 . I'm not so sure about that. Any country where healthcare is distributed by the government has an incentive to ensure that citizens live healthily...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

Stillstorm ordered the destruction of the Bellarmine wreckage because she intended to withdraw. This done, SG51 promptly withdrew from the system via the route illustrated in blue on page 118 . I assume Stillstorm didn't destroy the Bellarmine to keep any technology out of the hands of the umiak bu...

What kind of punishment-duties did Alex have to do aside from damage control? I just had a waking nightmare where it turns out he spent most of his service on the Bellarmine in the canteen, and he restores Loroi morale by actually being able to cook something edible off the awful stuff they are give...

Re: A Call to... Arms - Page 127

The whole "control entry points to the system" tactic seems more likely to be a standard military tactic (isolate and destroy smaller portions of enemy forces at a time, and keep enemy forces in the dark about what's going on by denying any information from jumping systems) than one specific to capt...
