Re: The Astronomy Thread
Though I'm not sure what kind of probe one would send. They have no idea what they're looking for, and the surface of Venus is not a place where you can just wander around. I think the longest a Venus probe lasted was two hours. They are talking about a layer of the atmosphere where the temperature...

It might be worth saying that other people I know in California are currently under a level 2 evacuation notice. Level 3 is leave immediately I believe ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)

Re: Beards?
Not sure why I thought of that context. Maybe some Loroi females taking a male to cover some females skinships going on in dark corners of the starship? I imagine a society where one gender has both the power and the numbers might have less hangups about what they do for fun and emotional support. ...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
I'd point out that the bugs don't necessarily seem all that surprised, and they would be the only ones having actually made contact with this hypothetical separate group of humans. They were interested in the bellarmine wreckage but if they are in contact with a completely different group of humans...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
There is the slightly unfortunate aspect at the moment that humanity might wind up being seen as the catalyzing factor for the huge bug breakthrough currently underway, due to them being invisible to their far-seer thingies. "Seen"? Humanity might actually be the cause. If the bugs have already fou...

Re: Miscellaneous Umiak/misc. races question-and-answer thread
I would just add that the solution for the long term storage of data is massive redundancy. Perhaps having the population of a planet remember something for you is a possible solution? We ourselves are in the early stages of investigating DNA as data storage and the commonly quotes estimate is that ...

Re: Beards?
I expect that 2160 medical technology has semi-permanent depilatory treatments that prevent hair growth for those who don't want to have to shave every day... which I think would be a useful option for crewmembers on a long-distance scout mission. I'd be tempted tbh :D What about the Loroi males? D...

Beards?
Looking in the mirror this morning at my COVID-19 facial growth, I started to wonder where Alex's beard is?
Also: do the Loroi males grow beards?
And is wondering about the Loroi ladies shaving habits inappropriate?![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Because there are probably not the Loroi the historian was warning him about, but what he says to them may travel to the ones he should. Indeed. Remember how antogonistic the Captain of the first ship was towards Alex. https://www.well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider068.html Any group that has been ...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
If I was going to speculate I would rather look to the moons of a large gas giant than a rare planet. The moons might be nearly as large, it might even have been already pulled apart by the gas giant's gravity to form a ring. In which case it might be "comparitively" easy to find asteroids rich in t...
