For what it's worth, keep in mind that as a general rule, political revolutions *cannot* be achieved solely by the "under-class" (serfs, peasants, farmers, workers, etc.). To be successful, a revolution needs help from at least one group that already has *significant* political power, but wants mor...

And now for something completely different: A serious question for you faithful readers who have taken the time to comment (for which I am very thankful). I find myself going back often and changing old chapters because I want to change something that could have been better in retrospect. Or because...

Spring is a horny little bugger, ain't he? Needs to be hit with the horny bat.

Maybe for the same reasons there have been propositions to bring back mammoths. To see what the species was like in Real life. To test if perhaps the recreated Loroi possessed a psychic capability distinct to modern Loroi. I know genes don’t affect sanzai. But they do affect the construction and co...

There are a variety of Loroi remains on the three Sister Worlds dating back to Fall, but none are known from before that period or on planets other than those three. Have scientists ever studied these remains? Recovered genetic material from these remains? Have there ever been suggestions to recrea...

Humans use a variety of sex toys... quite a variety for both genders... none of which I'm aware of are heated. Their being at a lower temperature than our body temperature does not seem to present a problem.

Have there ever been Loroi fossils discovered? Fossils or mummies dating back anywhere between the Soia Empire's collapse and the Era of Reunification? Not just on the Sister Worlds but any of the other known planets/moons in Union space? Could you name a few examples? There are a variety of Loroi ...

I changed the five days of celebration to a longer one. Because come on, as if anyone would travel several days aboard an interstellar cruiser just to party for five days. Pretty short-lived family reunion. XIV - Tales around the Bonfire === (+) === Fifth day of celebrations became the fifth evenin...

We all can afford it.

Unless my insurance company stops being shitheels, I'll die before I see 40. (And, TBH, I hope I die before I get old.)

Isn't every insurance company shitheels?

Are Loroi vulnerable to telepathic intrusion in their sleep? Is it easy for a wake/conscious Loroi to telepathically trespass into another's sleeping psyche? If so how can Loroi of high rank with sensitive information or classified knowledge sleep well?

Author’s note: When I’m writing these chapters, I occasionally have conflicting ideas of how particular scenes should play out. There have been moments where I wrote out entire chapters that seemed okay, but something (something abstractly hard to put into words) about such chapters did not sit wel...

Honestly, a society as advanced as the Loroi should be able to just take skin cells of two people and create a child. Especially because they are in the middle of an attrition war. Science fiction always underestimates biological & social tech advances. Probably it's more difficult to imagine than ...

Humans might make for good sex for Loroi assuming Loroi like to mate for recreational purposes and not just reproduction. Only problem with that is that Loroi do not seek intimacy through sex unlike humans. Personally I think there are bound to be Loroi who mate for recreation but that’s aside the p...

Like Talon begrudgingly accepting their cozy sleeping accommodations on page 149. NOT! On that thought, how would Talon’s sarcastic remark on page 149 look in Trade? Trade handles negatives similar to English, with a keyword ("sal") before the negated word, so it would look very much like the Engli...

I suspect that Snoofman actually wanted some version of *reluctant* agreement. That's what I assumed, but Loroi Trade doesn't have forms built into it for sarcasm and passive-aggressive attitude. Trade is a language that's used in a formal and technical capacity by the Loroi; it's very literal. If ...

The Loroi equivalent of "Fine, whatever." or "Uh... okay then."

Author's note: I have gone back and changed a bit in Part 12 of Dawn . Happy new year everyone! - - - XII - The Celebration === (+) === Greywind remembered when her human employees arrived at the creche seven years ago. Remembered their alien habits. Their insatiable appetite for caffeine. The incur...

XI - Decking the Halls === (+) === It was late morning on Christmas Eve. In truth Listel Sazset Cotton would have preferred to research the Emperor’s latest vision. Scrutinize where their test went wrong. But it seemed too risky for the moment. A person from Greywind’s past had arrived. Someone the...

Telepathic techniques only affect the conscious mind of a target, not its physical body (which includes memory). So a Mizol can't edit or erase memories, but she can temporarily affect access to memory (causing the target to temporarily forget or overlook something obvious), and suggest untrue thin...
