A very large number of animals on Earth have some sort of courtship rituals, or what apears to be that, to see who is worthy of mating. Do the the Loroi have something similar? Sort of. Loroi individuals do not choose their mates; society does. And so it's society that a prospective mate has to imp...

Two Questions: One is courtship. A very large number of animals on Earth have some sort of courtship rituals, or what apears to be that, to see who is worthy of mating. Be it shows of strength, intelligence, creativity, or simply impressing her enough not to bite his head off before the deed, these ...

Given how Jardin saw how both sides fight, could he figure out a way to outmanuver either side in a jiffy? Say a surpsie Umiake scout fleet finds them.

I'm asking this as to see how much of a "chess master" he is.

arioch: and give you some minimum lighting in aforementioned dark situations, no need to carry a flash light for that situation. I can guess the suits can probably give a mix of terminator or predator helm vistion. The former is in the prototype phase for fire fighters to give them better situation...

I am under the impression that most recources can be easily gathered by strip minning astroids as any given large one could have more precious metals, iron, hydrogen, and other materials humans haved used in construction, technology, and so on then has been dug up on Earth. That said, what reasource...

How much could the Loroi pick up from studying the remain''s of Captain Jardin's shipmates? Besides any decomposition of any bacteria in their bodies, there the explotion from the ship and the shrapnel that had to produce. Beyond that, you have extreams of heat (the direction pointed at the sun) and...

Do the Umiake and their Allies know where the main worlds of their Loroi are and vice versa, and can't get to it because of the military forces between them and their goal? Aside from the sporadic nature of Umiake fleets (with Ships being outdated flying with ones that are state of the art) are ther...

Would the Loroi or their allies be fans the use of assassins if available, either in wars past or present?

Also would they enjoy the use of sniper riffles?

And A few posts back, I was thinking of the Colorado bombings. I got him mixed up with he serial killer I think ( and crap spelling).

With any technology the potential for great good and for great evil can be created. Jeffery Dalmer used a low tech method for his bombings, but so due a number of men and women when they create fireworks. Musical instruments and sampling has created some of the greatest performers ever to grace the ...

Using Earth's history as a basis, it seems when a superior force arrives it can be defeated by a local population if they use then unconventional methods. American Revaluation, Vietnam, Afghanistan during the cold war to today, and even Israiel. Using the enemy's style of warfare head on will only a...

One Loroi sees that, sends a mental image to the next and the next and soon the whole species goes up in one massive Brain Blue Screen of Death

For that you could probably look to modern armies and their gear. Any active duty/vets on the forums?

I think another part is what parts of their brain, or brain like thing, is most developed. Aligators, crocodiles, and sharks can learn, remember, do tricks, and think stratigicly but their brains are relatively small, and still primitive by our standards. Yet you take a look at a human brain, and a ...

This is going to be 2 questions for the price of one kinda of a thing but: How Well Do Loroi, their Allies, and their Enemies think outside of the Box when it comes to strategy? Part of this comes from mentioning Alex's strategic mind, and that sounds a bit a checkove gun. Unless his ability to quic...

You mention that the Umiak are OCD. At best this is hyper detail oriented. At worse, they worry about every little thing, espesialy when there is no need to (often almost ritualizing the process and have to fallow it to a tee or have a Blue Screen of Death effect on their brain). Yes this is an over...

This is coming from me just thinking of an old Farscape episode. Long story short, the human character Criton, is the only one who can save the day as his senses are not as developed as the other crew members so won't be effected by the alien passenger's hypnotic abilities (granted its one of those ...

A human's brain falls pray to optical illusions because it's lazy, fills in gaps and speeds things along (I know I just my a physiology expert cry somewhere). The human brain takes these shortcuts as it speeds up the thinking process and gives us a better chance to avoid that falling rock or pay att...

I beleive Isac Asonove or some other Sci Fi writer said that any technology at a high enough level becomes magic. Translation: A Jew might think the superior weapon smithing of the Philistines was magic; the native peoples of the Americas would think guns and metal armor and weapons would be magic w...

PerhapThe Terrans could make their spacecraft look more insectile, paint them in Umiak camo, and masquerade as old spacecraft brought out of storage to shore up the war effort. Then launch rocks. And if they need to answer hales from the enemy, I'm sure the Historians can mimic Umiak speech to answ...

What about something completely out of the ordinary? In the first world war, the only way for the British to sink a U-boat is if it surfaces as that was the only time they could see them. The problem was, unless an emergancy or an idiot happened, they would only surfese near suvilian ships and not m...
