I do agree that killing off Beryl or Tempo would be rather galling though.

If you kill Beryl and Tempo in this I am going murder you across the internet! :evil: Well, I would strongly advise you to not do so. For one, this would be illegal, and I'll make sure the authorities will find you. Second, he's my current favourite fan fiction author, and comforting me over my "no...

Wait. The Loroi are responsible for a near genocide of Humans after the Loroi killed the Soia!?

They are slowing time!!! Does that mean thousands of years are happening outside the bubble of slowed space-time. Every second inside the bubble of altered space-time equaling 12.000.000 seconds outside!?

Re: Outcast Quest [Updated 10/7/16 - Turn 11 Results]

The Umiak dodge it by going into comas before jumping. Arioch mentioned that it was a limiting factor in how close they could jump to a target, because jumping too close would have half their crew barely awake and function when battle was joined. And it has to be more than psionics, because the oth...

Re: Outcast Quest [Updated 10/7/16 - Turn 11 Results]

Jump Sickness is also usually a temporary condition that you get over fairly rapidly, which makes it difficult to study. When it's permanent, it's much easier to study, especially when you have specimens who appear to be utterly immune to its effects, such as Colonel Pierce and the loroi children i...

The Union contains roughly 150 inhabited worlds, of which about 40 have populations of more than 100 million. This includes both Loroi and alien populations. How many of those 40 worlds have a population that is exceeding 1 billion? Is it unusual that worlds are as densly populated as earth? Eyup. ...

Oh god. I am an idiot. I fail at mathematics for ever. Please. Kill me. The result was 3,469 tonnes. Not kilotons. The firepower is well in range of Real Sci-Fi weaponry. Oh god. This feels like the famed 'Telepanty' Debacle all over again.

Interesting thing I looked up when the Loroi commented how Mass Drivers can hurt as much as as Loroi/Umiak AM/M torpedoes, if you get them onto the target, that is. I just went and calculated some things like Mas Driver firepower. Converted into TNT.. ..well: At 16,000,000,000,000 Joules from 400 k...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror (Completed)

@Duradys You are reading too much into it. The need and want to have children is hardwired on the human male as well which is the reason as to why men pursue marriage with the female they are with. A marriage is a social contract with the intention of starting a family, a man who doesn't want child...
