I love this alien culture stuff. What is the reason for its function? As for probability, I wonder the double slit experiment might get a mention from Jardin, with the usual smart-alec remark, or joke about the oddity. Surely it will get patched out when the universe gets updated. It would surely ca...

I have a million questions, and Jardin is all "Naw, I'm good."

Clearly he must be some fleshy android made by the Umiak, his hot running battery has betrayed his nature, no Loroi is that HOT.

Why not use a drugged up, lobotimized, Loroi brain in a jar, to detect it? "This part of the Loroi brain lights up when detecting telepathic signatures, and these control the perception for distance..." etc... Because there isn't a "part of the brain" that detects telepathic signatures. Telepathy i...

To date, no one has been able to mechanically duplicate or even detect Loroi telepathy Why not use a drugged up, lobotimized, Loroi brain in a jar, to detect it?

If a Loroi division surprises an Umiak division by waiting on their arrival around their jump sector, how large would be the expected Umiak losses? Umiak ships have an advantage in close-range combat, so I don't think it's usually going to be in the Loroi interest to be up close when an Umiak divis...

It's amusing to consider that these navy pilots were chasing the equivalent of a laser pointer.

If these are drones, or flying craft of some design, my guess is that these are not corporeal at all. If you consisted of nothing, say light for instance, you'll hardly be effected by the atmosphere, or just a little bit by the water.

So the necklace was a social proposal to Jardin?

Why do I get the sneaking suspicion that we'll meet aliens before we ever become an extra-solar species, and we've already met them?

Should be simple to kitbash something that resembles Loroi, Umiak ships. Portraits for either species, and lore for factions plus the home star systems. A total conversion would be ideal.

Apollo 13 got bitterly cold inside when the power went out, so much so that all the moisture inside froze; this despite the fact that it was about 1 AU from the Sun and being directly illuminated. Highland-7 is father than that from a white dwarf with a much lower luminosity than the Sun. I expect ...

Just occured to me, what if Jardin unknowingly accepted a social proposal by accepting the necklace?

IIRC "Will to Win"

Jardin will avoid becoming a literal bed warmer by convincing the Loroi to a heated pillow fight free for all.

I want analyze the Historians behavior a bit more, I think the Historian that uploaded onto the PDA might possibly have gone "native". Disguising itself as a "porn" folder with a grey alien face is a terran meme, doing it with ironic humor no less. Beryl might not be the only Xenophile on the shuttl...

Hmm.. and again we have Tempo doing her "I/ME" underlining gesture. In all seriousness, I do wonder what they are talking about, what is it that she believes she should be doing instead of Beryl... No, I'm not thinking about *that* :lol: Judging from Tempo's expression, I'd wager it is something st...

Makes me wonder. Of all the Loroi, Fireblade would have fewest reasons to busy herself with Alex. Fewer than Beryl, Tempo and maybe Talon for sure. Other than just floating there with a menacing air around herself as a silent reminder what happens if Alex makes the proverbial step out of line. Thou...

I still believe if Humans want to leapfrog in competition in war, they have to redefine the way it is waged. Flexing their creativity in ways that no sane person would consider, simply because no one has tried it yet. Risking possible worse scenarios than the one they face, simply because they might...

From our perspective as an audience, with insider knowledge about the Loroi, their history and all of that, the Historian construct's warning message is a little bit concerning, but not in the way it intended. While it isn't a smoking gun, it does slightly raise the plausibility of some "the Histor...
