Before anyone asks: I probably won't have the new page up before the end of the evening, but in that event it should go up sometime tomorrow. I'm just really tired. Oh, I was actually talking about the local leaders of the rebellion when I said "high command." Technically, they were independent fro...

Really, I'd imagine knowing about the other scout ships would just incentivise them to work more quickly with him. I doubt the Loroi would think to blame him for the fact that a Human ship might accidentally stumble onto the Umaik. That's if they decide to give negotiations with the Six Worlds a fa...

t's not a question of security, but rather of playing to the audience in front of him. I don't think Alex was in any doubt that the Loroi did not believe him or trust him, and so he judged that it would a poor time to say, "Oh by the way, at this moment there's probably another human diplomatic tea...

Hey, I've got several questions and thought I'd just dump them here for discussion. Nice. Nice. Not many other options. Walker reports an unidentified contact 850 km away... and the screen displays this, with thee description reading "unidentified contact course blablabla range 850 km". Gotta be it...

It seems rather clear that the strategic location Humanity holds is their big advantage. The only problem is how to use it. The current discussion seems mired in the fact that Humanity would basically be turning their territory into a warzone. More keely, they'd be turning it into a warzone that nei...

Hey, I've got several questions and thought I'd just dump them here for discussion. I was looking over the comic and, on pg 6, there's a ship displayed on the screen console. Is there any word on whether that's meant to depict the ship that fired on them? https://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider0...

Did you mean Tempest? Yes, thanks. The first Loroi Alex met was Spiral and Talon who brought him aboard. But Alex was unconscious at that moment and doesn't remember that. The K was not, but it seems like Beryl was the first Loroi he saw. The opening with Beryl was meant more as the first experienc...

How many military ships do the Loroi have total. If that's a fuzzy number, than perhaps it would make more sense to ask how many jump capable ships they have that can take on active combat duty. How quickly can they construct these ships? How many jump capable ships are there in the union total? Bot...

I don't think TL10+ naval torpedoes would have any difficulty delivering high yield warheads regardless of the depth I suppose you could always build a KT-mass worth of super-cavitating KK torpedoe How quickly would those torpedoes be able to swim through the atmosphere and water that they'd avoid ...

Chapter 3: Just simulate the emotions, then! K's teeth chattered in the cold and the pain, a nervous rattle going through his body in the wake of the senseless numbness which itself barely hid the intense pain which seemed to underlie, subtly, his every thought and awareness. “Greetings," the blue ...

Here's what I, and Arioch, have said on the subject so far. If so, it makes me wonder how difficult a seige of a Pipolsid city would be. My sense is that anything several miles under an ocean is essentially nuke proof if they can maintain even local defences. And I doubt any race in the bubble has b...

Ok, so the idea is that a Pipolsid city is under attack by both Loroi and Umaik. The aggressors control the orbitals and their purpose is to obtain a mcguffin (Let's say, the power of friendship) from said city. And, they'd want it in tact, for obvious reasons. The Pipolsid are habitating a deep und...

They are also not at all warlike. When threatened by the Delrias or Mannadi, in the absence of Loroi protection, they simply gave in to whatever external demands were made on them. Was this pacifism a situational phenomenon or is it something they adhere to to great extents. What I mean is, did the...

Ah, ok. Thanks.

Guess, I'll just have it kept in the Fan Forum, then.

Hey, I just saw that it wasn't necessary to move threads to the fan works site and I've already created my thread in the fan-works forum, so would it be possible to move, or link, my thread L-U-C-Y onto the outsider forum?

Also, do you know how to edit titles?

The Pipolsid can make it work a little bit better because their chemical communication makes them more empathic, and they rarely resort to violence. But they still suffer from the basic problems of direct democracy: there's no way that the whole population can be expert enough in every subject to b...

Edited!

Thanks for the correction, alien names seem to be my weakness.

Ok, so there seems to be a war going on at the moment and, naturally, everyone's attention probably diverts to the Loroi or Umaik when they read the title. Others yet might think about the historians or other major players. Well, such short term considerations aren't the purpose of this thread. I cr...

Chapter 2: Somehow, you'd find a way. It bore thinking how delicate shipboard operations could be. The elements of the crew were much like the aspects of the rocket they served upon. And, much like that famous doctrine of rocketry which, by now, had been drilled furiously into every cadet’s head, u...

I decided this chapter is probably superfluous. It's still here if you want to read it, though. Chapter 2: If you were ever captain... “This is certainly an impressive resume you’ve assembled, Ensign. An impressive resume…” Captain Hamilton repeated with thoughtful inflection. “I wouldn’t go so far…...
