I already mentioned that the construct might have completely misinterpreted the situation... Or just has a different definition of "grave personal danger", being an AI on an antedeluvian (in its 'eyes') device. And, again, Tempo is conspicuously absent... Perhaps her presence would 'motivate' the ot...

And, noticed something else? Even with the handshake all of them still kept a respectful distance, with one exception. Beryl asked for his permission to touch him just once , but she's definitely using her newly acquired leeway to get into his private space up to the hilt. Not that she had many qual...

Need to get back into writing. I think I'll do with a filler piece on Beryl's side of things for now. I'd gladly leave battle strategies and politicking to you

Yes, the whole idea that the Loroi might loose is predicated on the idea that the Loroi haven't been building their own reserves for a while, as well as the idea that the Umiak are not completely over extended and this isn't just a victory push, but a desperation push. Kikitik-27 seemed to be quite...

Problem is, whatever Alex may do or may not do, it already seems to be too little, too late. The attack is already underway, and it looks like they'll be punching through any defense the Loroi could muster and steamroll the Union. What could a single person do, especially since he's still under susp...

Sympathy for space elves vs. ugly giant bugs aside, at the moment things simply don't look good for the Loroi. They were put in a defensive position from the very start, fighting the war on their own territory for the most time, and just barely holding off the Umiak, having advanced technology and F...

"Fall backwards into my arms, captain, it is essential that we build tr- NO NOT TOWARDS FIREBL- " Thinking of which... They're stuck dead in the water in a broken shuttle, behind enemy lines, in a system that's as good as occupied and no help in sight. If that isn't a situation where Fireblade regr...

I think she was exhorting Alex to say he was pleased, not Cloud (if that's what you are referring to). CJSF I thought so as well for a moment, but Alex doesn't seem to need lots of pushing; it's Cloud who acts much like the nerdy (human) boy in front of the gorgeous cheerleader. Or, if you don't ac...

It's intimate among loroi and telepathically sensitive races because of the intense telepathic connection that forms from immediate touch. Alex is famously invisible to telepathy. This is like people shaking hands with a robot, or a rock. Even if I'm wrong and there isn't Tempo's guidance behind th...

Would Beryl have the strength to make him feel that kind of tingly feeling? (And yes I know how that sounds you damn animals) So basically, that "electric wire" feeling would denote a forceful mind probe, one or two steps above a casual telepathic contact. Beryl is no slouch in the telepathy depart...

I'm wondering, though. Alex's voice over on Page 115 gave notice of Talon seemingly not trying to get into his head... I'd dearly like to hear his comments about those two... or three, if Cloud pulls herself together. I think he would mentally note any attempt they make if all attempts produce that...

Everyone wants to touch the Humanti. It may be spontaneous, but they could also be put up to it by Tempo/Fireblade to see if anyone can crack the "Lotai". Poor Cloud has no Service branch or rank. Touch her and say you are pleased. SAY IT, DAMN YOU! And it still fits with my words about the previou...

Thing is, the only real approach at aggressive information gathering had been their mind probe. And, failing on their first attempt, they simply tried with added force, and, failing that, they seemed to be pretty out of ideas. But, maybe Fireblade did notice something during Beryl's experiment, and,...

Pretty sure she IS waiting. It may well be she's still expecting his Lotai to be semi-conscious, and a real relaxing exercise may bring a crack in it. And she and Fireblade will jump at it, once they *see* it. And given that something did happen during Beryl's little experiment that assumption migh...

Yes, the one with the slightly greener than cyan hair is Spiral, Talon was the one with b blue hair with white stripes in it. And both were most definitely flirting with him, remember this is a culture in which the females would peruse the males. Sure, he might be alien... but he is physically very...

Alex had been mindraped, with her spearheading the assault, then she plays her part in the 'good elf, bad elf' routine on him, physical assault included, and he was chucked back into the brig for one week and pretty much forgot for the whole time until they tried shipping him off to Seren, with food...

I'd say Stillstorm pretty much looks alive to me....

Though I suppose there's few things that make me chase the ladies like several hours strapped in a chair while wearing a glorified diving suit. Thing is, even scientifically-minded Beryl was quick to simply assume that Alex follows the same biological imperatives as a Loroi male. I wouldn't be too ...

In the last frame, Spiral's left hand seems to be missing. Also, her head appears (to me) to be at an odd angle to her torso. Anything out of the ordinary going on there? Bionic head removal, like the Borg queen? Nope. The lighting and coloring makes it a bit difficult to see, but she's just gettin...

I wonder how much of this is orchestrated by, say, Tempo. After all... When they opened the hatch after being hit, Tempo directed all the Loroi to their respective tasks, with Beryl ending up with Alex. So far, noting out of ordinary. Then, Talon shows up. With the thermal suit, but perhaps to check...
