[The 'particle' intrusion would have to be precisely directed and managed in which case any radiation would be confined within the small area that the particle beam passed through. If it was a high intensity beam then the radiation would be noticeable, however if it was a slow enough intrusion then...

But would loroi Ripley have to be male?

So what? All the human male characters would be Loroi females.

Heh. Following this train of thought the members of our Highland gang will be forever suspect. Their shuttle was after all dragged into the hangar of an Umiak cruiser...
For the sake of story, at some point you have to loosen up on the paranoia, you know.

(Good idea - I like the fear of the Loroi that the Umiak may have changed Fireblade's Sanzai resulting in her Sanzai being detectable by Alex. That will lead to real internal issues with the Loroi.) I don't think I ever read that Fireblade at some point was imprisoned by the Umiak on Seren. So it s...

I recon in the case of Fireblade this surveillance can be quite risky, her being such a powerful psychokinetic and such.

I think the umiak don't ever go "back". Except for "The Stray", the Umiak go outward. They are born within their empire, educated and outfitted to do war tasks, and conquer. If they ever get back, that means there is nothing to conquer in the direction they've been sent anymore. So, they only get b...

After Humanity's/Alex's introduction to the Loroi and Umiak, what are the chances of they deciding that Humanity is not worth the effort to invade/ally with during the current war?

I think somewhere between slim and none.

Unlike the Umiak, the Loroi have never rally entered the enemy's territory, nor taken any of their worlds. So the Loroi wouldn't have much access to agents, nor ways to get them into enemy space.

A returning ship from a Khalkha Division maybe?

It might make a difference if such a 'thief' needs to have the ability of the telepathy technique she wants to obtain. A Mizol might not have a talent for say far-sensing, so even if she managed to get the required info from a Loroi who has the talent, the details of the technique are such its usele...

I wonder if a technique could be 'stolen' that way. Imagine a Mizol out to get to known a certain technique (for the greater caste good of course), and 'infiltrating' into the mind of one who knows how to use said technique. Or are how such techniques are used too different of how data/info is 'stor...

Is it possible for a Loroi with the telepathic ability to attain techniques by herself? Or are those techniques that make a Teidar or Mizol 'top of her caste' only to be discovered/trained by specialized academies?

She specifically ensured that Alex would be seen by others and even joined the shuttle crew, apparently to ensure that nothing 'happens' to Alex. Maybe she just had a hunch that this is more important than keeping tabs on Stillstorm. I'd be surprised if Tempo was the only Mizol onboard Tempest . Th...

What's wrong with buying into a foreign jet aircraft design? Basically, the US Marine Corps (which can be considered an elite unit) used a redesign of a British jet aircraft for several decades (the Harrier) now. Because if relations with that nation sour, your military may be screwed. It doesn't m...

Lucky Boeing? I know what you mean, but I doubt Being is feeling very lucky lately. If it's not 737 Max, it's Starliner... and I just learned that Boeing's 737-based KC-46 tanker is having all kinds of problems. I'm genuinely very sorry to see America's last civil aerospace company in this state......

Arioch, does the cargo hold have another hatch directly on the outer hull? I kind of wonder if the Loroi loaded the shuttle the same way as the Umiak are unloading it now, but with the chairs already in place.

Yes.

Ah, I forgot to look in the gallery for info. Thanks.

It does look like most of the chairs have been removed since their departure of Tempest.

The contrast can be really stark in Africa. I've seen the night sky there twice a couple dozen kilometers from the capital of the country I was in (once away of Dar-es-Salaam, and once from Windhoek). The light dome visible on the horizon when out in the open is really a blot compared to the deep 'b...

We know from chapter cover that she did unpack him from the suit. Also this page makes me think that loroi might have killed Kirkland since she was near alex and could possibly survived blast.

Okay, sounds like you want to have things absolutely your way, cthulhu.
Have fun with it, I don't I'll bother with your participation on the board anymore.
