Re: Page 215: About to Jump? Take drugs!
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.

Re: Page 214: Ready for boarding action!
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...

Re: Page 213: The Bug Hunt is on!
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.

Re: Page 213: The Bug Hunt is on!
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...

Re: Page 211: Grand Theft Umiak Cruiser
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. ...

Re: 210 Far-sensing?
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.

Re: 210 Far-sensing?
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.

Re: Page 209: Damn bugs and their chatter! Putting Alex to sleep!
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.

Re: Page 209: Damn bugs and their chatter! Putting Alex to sleep!
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...

Re: Page 209: Damn bugs and their chatter! Putting Alex to sleep!
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....

Re: Page 209: Damn bugs and their chatter! Putting Alex to sleep!
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?
