I would imagine that "Hyperspace" isn't just hyperspace, and might put you into touch with... well other dimensions... such as the after life, or the astral realm/warp or so on. Then again, it might also just be a level of reality where the physics that keeps our bodies functioning don't play well t...

Yes, the vibrations could be the ship, or space/time itself osculating within a bubble creating an effect of vibration (ie pressure waves) within objects inside the bubble.

come come now, its not even been 6 months ye

9 out of 10 cannibals agree, vegans taste best

Well weaponized partial weapons likely have the nuclei they shoot be significantly slower, but and much greater numbers. Which for the same energy cost would likely give you far less penetration, but much more damage. Mind you the penetration would still be quite high, but shooting through 6 bulkhea...

Nah, past the TOS Star Trek had a Capetian yes, but frequently had story lines that were vast and wide in their focus on other characters, DSN9 was huge on this.

I am beginning to suspect that Alex isn't the hero of this story, he's the narrator. The way this story is going, it might not have a single, specific hero, but a team of them, which would be a very welcome change from the average space opera! Depends on the "space opera" Star Trek for example tend...

Arioch said hybrids are not possible between humans and Loroi. So unless Beryl mated with several Loroi males on the side... which Alex would have mixed feelings about, the ending could not happen. And given how slow Loroi age, Beryl will outlive him and likely be the one to inherit his stuff too. ...

But Alexander is not a veteran, he is fresh out of the academy.
I also doubt that he is good with handheld weapons or that he knows how to operate a Loroi weapon properly.

That even assumes that he CAN operate Loroi weapons, they could be biometricly locked.

HAHA lol, no

"I seduced my way into this problem... I will seduce my way out!"

You joke, but I have done that in games... suffered, struggled and triumphed... though really good character social skills.

"Here we have true facts about the Umiak, oh and there is Dave, he is going to survive 250 solon longer than his brothers and sisters"

I said some evidence, not out and out proof. Plus with out bodies and physical evidence, the Prophet's Reason could be brushed off as making things up.

One has to wonder if Alex is developing far-sensing or if he is developing the ability to piggy back... ether way. Then there also seams to be an attempt to possibly erase the fact he and the rest of his ship ever existed.

I would find it amusing if the Historians gave the Umaik the tech, and they are playing the two off one another, and it was a Historian ship that destroyed the Bellarmine to protect their plans (or stop humans from getting involved at that time.

I think he meant that Umiak ships don't keep Loroi prisoners on hand. Interstellar travel in Outsider is rather slow; it would take weeks or months to even get humans captured from the scout missions to places where Loroi prisoners are, if they still have some, and then weeks or months to get get w...

hi hi My first thought is that physical contact does have some influence on how Alex is perceiving the other Loroi, and maybe all of them huddled together to sleep is what caused Alex to be able to sense their presence. But he also didn't see anything when Beryl was touching him quite deliberately....

Half joking, but...
What if what is going on and Alex is turning his minds perception away from the shadows on the caverns wall, and seeing the fire in Plato's cave, thus he would be looking at the numina of the Lori and the objects they are holding?

Wait, you play humans in Homeworld?

Maaaby... the Bentusi also look human. The Vaygr on the other hand don't.
