Re: Page 222: Take Care What You Choose For Cover

Unless fuel type A does not easily detonate by shooting or setting it on fire that is. My point is that the typical Umiak soldier is probably not intimately familiar with the technical details of any particular Loroi shuttle. There's also not much fuel left in the shuttle, but I guess it wouldn't r...

Re: Page 222: Take Care What You Choose For Cover

Even so, as far as I'm aware there's nobody left guarding the hangar bay. Perhaps there's a certain shuttle there of which the reactor can be overloaded? ;) I don't think the Umiak would know how to do that on short notice, but I'll admit I hadn't thought about that. Unless fuel type A does not eas...

Re: Page 222: Take Care What You Choose For Cover

That ... Gives me a) the creeps. b) the feeling that the Umiak may have an anti-detection device on board, and that there is one hiding very close by. And that ultimately Alex will be the one finding "it", showing the Loroi they've become too reliant on their telepathic ability, when he prevents "I...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

Not technically true. The vast majority of our species "history" (if you are including pre-history) was spent as hunter gatherers. Cultures that were more centrally organized specifically for warfare were always a minority. Most human beings didn't live within formal kingdoms or empires until compa...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

Why don't Loroi just modify the chromosomes in the womb to create more males? or is that a taboo? That's a really good point. Especially because the Loroi are designer made species and are even aware of it. I reckom they know about this but they don't do it because it would threaten the power of th...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

Commerce is forbidden to the warrior class; only those who have renounced warrior status are permitted to engage in commercial activity of any kind. Since Loroi children (with only a few exceptions) are raised to be warriors, it would be very strange to assign them fundraising tasks. As for the res...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

In kindergarten and middle school kids were encouraged to sell pizza or candy for fundraisers for the school. As a reward, if we met the goal set for us for candy or pizza sold (in reality money made but why say that to doting parents?), the principal would shave his beard or even his head and go ba...

Re: Sex Questions

Hmmm... then I presume I am at least partially correct if nothing else. Doing stuff the body was not designed to handle is a way to introduce foreign organisms of disease, and having a lot of partners increases this risk. Transfer of fluids, whether it's sex or comingling of blood or consuming infe...

Re: Sex Questions

Second question... as a male, and all males know this, sex and or masturbation makes one actually feel kind of tired after. I remember reading somewhere where it said that it actually lowers a man's testoterone levels if done regularly. Speaking for myself, when free of masturbation my mind feels le...

1. If Loroi males are rare, that means that multiple, probably hundreds to thousands of Loroi are basically... brothers and sisters by blood relation.

Re: Saw Across The Spiderverse.... Was Disappointed

So I saw the original Into The Spider-verse, and rewatched the sequel. The sequel can only be enjoyed the most if you see the original... since I actually understood and enjoyed the beginning of the film with Gwen when I hated it on my first viewing without seeing the first film. Overall the film is...

The Flash Is Better Than Across The Spider-verse...

Slight spoilers follow... nothing major though. Like Across The Spiderverse (ATS), The Flash features a muliverse of variant timelines and events. I feel it is the better film if you are an adult, since the villains do not come off as cheesy like in the the Spider-verse sequel (becoming a multi-vers...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path

Don't forget that the Loroi as a civilization is desperate to win the war, and has and is willingly to commit essentially crimes against humanity/war crimes to that end. By now everything is fair game... because the Loroi are on the verge of losing their stalemate and I reckon Tempo knows that. Lik...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path

Not sure if that makes sense. When Alex was experiencing the dream sequence, he was interacting with the "people" there. That sounds more participatory than merely passively receiving. I think there are two possibilities about what's going on in that dream sequence: 1. Fireblade is known to "talk" ...
