I'm thinking rather than an imprint, humans have some kind of passive resistance to telepathy techniques, but not telekinesis. Alex mentions humans only know of it in 'old stories', so it's possible thousands of years later because of a lack of telepaths humans developed a kind of passive defense. I...

Alex doesn't really have to be 'commander shephard'. Plenty (most?) of major historical figures didn't actually physically run around commando'ing it up. That archetype is just something for gaming because you center the player as the hero. Simply being in contact with the Loroi in a non-combative p...

There's a heap of things I'd like to respond to when I have time, but at the moment this one really leaped out to me. The insider page on Loroi Warrior Rites of Passage has some interesting information regarding this. I hadn't read this page. I can't imagine Alex considering this social construct be...

I'm terrible at lies, so people who are capable liars give me goosebumps. She's got that "I'm actually a ridic...

Well, she almost went out of line over Alex and Talon 'just' holding hands. But that would be a sight to see... :D The implication, at least to me, is that Beryl's caste are the inquisitive type but that doesn't explain her reaction to the pilot shaking his hand. As you say, that stung of simple je...

A low birthrate doesn't provide evidence against a desire for sex, it just means that raising children is an undesirable risk/expense in the modern world. People are still (intercourse) It actually very specifically does. Percentage wise all forms of prevention are a drop in the bucket compared to ...

I'd like to echo the sentiment that sexual relationships are not the only kind of relationships worth exploring in fiction. (Not that there's anything wrong with exploring sexual relationships in fiction.) I cannot possibly emphasize in words how happy I am to see you say that. Now even if nothing ...

Sigh... I've been told that Arioch has repeatedly stated there wouldn't be romantic subplots but... Alex/Beryl are such cute friends. And I mean FRIENDS. I don't understand the huge amount of resistance to it but can't they at least be 'really good friends'? Does everything have to be either detache...
