Or there's no lost colony, and humanity and the umiak have already struck an alliance.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
I think it's unrealistic to consider the kind of people who are doctors and the kind of people who are laborers to not be in different classes. There are numerous countries where an average fully-licenced medical practitioner earns less than an average construction worker. Which sorta DOES put them...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
I'm not sure whether it's amusing, sad, hopeful or depressing that human beings in 2021 seem to have such hard time imagining how a class system works, when humanity has lived under some kind of class system for the vast majority of recorded history (to say nothing of prehistory), and much of human...

Re: Human Superiority (again)
Why don't you take the time to enlighten me on how eactly RAMMING THINGS INTO EACH OTHER is equal to accelerating an object using specific propulsion method along the designed axis of force. Example An Orion with a Pistons that can accelerate at 1g can be rammed into a planet at 1g equates in your ...

Re: Human Superiority (again)
You have a hard to believing in things that exist? Thats your problem, they exist, deal with it... G-force and impact pressure are entirely different measurements, dropped object if it falls on a corner or extrusion suffers impact pressure that can be thousands to even billions of times higher then...

Re: Human Superiority (again)
I'm pretty sure our own solar systems jump point, or jump zone, will be more than a hundred thousand LM^3 to cover. Double that if they can arrive from any side.

Re: 210 Far-sensing?
We don't necessarily know that Fireblade hadn't touched alex before he woke up. She might have been brought into the infirmary to try to push through what they probably assumed was an intentional barrier.

Re: 210 Far-sensing?
Why would the umiak want a bunch of caskets? Why would they board the shuttle? It seems like either 1. Finding a shuttle out on its own is something that's commonly of interest to the umiak. or 2. Someone's tipped them off to the fact that there's something of interest in this specific shuttle. or 3...

Re: 210 Far-sensing?
I'm shocked to find out that Outsider is turning out to be a re-rendition of "Aliens on a shuttle", and that the "I've had it with these goddamn aliens on this goddamn ship" scene has already occurred. As for human-'contaminated' people, it doesn't really seem like it, since she'd have to also send ...

She's just trying to keep him calm. "Don't worry, guy, I'm here for you and I've got this gun to keep you safe. Or shoot you if they find us, so you won't get tortured. You know, either one."

Re: Page 207: Tempo showing off
Arioch should redo the page with two hard-troopers being pulled into the room and mind controlled. But wait, to stave off the obvious answer to that, I mean, clearly umiak commanders should know better than to send a mere 2 hard-troopers to investigate some random shuttle, I suggest he redo the page...

Re: Page 207: Tempo showing off
I wonder if it would be possible to arrange an explosion that would coincidentally knock them towards the Prophet's Wisdom. going by page 135, and a heartbeat being about 1 second, the Prophet's Wisdom is more than 4 hours away, while moving at high propulsion. An explosion is unlikely to provide e...
