Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Like others, I’ve been comparing ship silhouettes. To no avail... For me it would be a complete shock if the Bellarmine was destroyed by a Loroi faction. it just doesn’t feel plausible. Besides such an action would have been kept well conceiled from SG-51 and for Beryl whom honestly told Alex what s...

Re: The Astronomy Thread
You’re right of course. Still, it’s probably a good thing this isn’t happening (anymore) in our own galaxy.

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
I think it’s impossible to say where Arioch’s story is going. Well made as it is, for me that’s part of the fun.
One thing is certain: we’ll all be wiser and older when the author wraps up the story

Re: [WP] New Frontiers (Story Thread Only)
The arianesin kept returning to the clearing expecting food and Bastal was looking at how diral members were throwing skinned hoppers over the ditch into the huge mauls. Blissfull grunts and smacking sounds came from the dark which made it quite a spectacle and Bastal was intrigued by the behaviour...

@werra Starting to understand that Coral is the Loroi dick. A listel totally unlike Beryl. Can do nice things with that.

Verloren hoop indeed fits in a special forces tradition “As Far As the Sister Worlds Extend” (Qua Patet Orbi Sororium).

I sure hope Coral isn’t a hermaphrodite... and that Bastal won’t use the diral as mere cannon fodder.

Re: Writing Prompts
@New Frontiers Please do, Razor. I'd like to broaden the scope of New Frontiers myself, but...writing Bastal kissing ass is not my strong suit. I'd look forward to.. ..Bastal kicking ass, rather than kissing them, but also feel she'd be a two-dimensional character if she'd only play the meanest Miz...

Re: Page 140 Discussion - "WRRAMMM!!!"
Alex is beginning to pick up a bad habit of being too close to giant explosions. But it's a good thing he wasn't looking at that one, or I imagine he'd have the image forever burned into his retina. :P It’s a good thing the EMP didn’t knock out the electro or photochromic glass that instantly darke...

Breathtaking
*lights candle for the crew on the station*
When other components are fried then it doesn’t really matter that the LEDs have survived, no?
(I speculate Talon and Spiral have been thinking a couple of steps ahead and flipped a master switch).

Re: Writing Prompts
A reason to investigate is the indication of the transport function the structures once had. Perhaps Loroi do not have an overly rich imagination, but they could still be be interested in researching long shot options for interplanetary travel, or anticipate on potential hostile incursions on the Si...

Re: Writing Prompts
About Bastal we also need a good reason for her to look into Soia-Liron artifacts. She is not only a diplomat.

Perhaps a special project, looking into the almost defunct transport system that everyone else considered a dead end street, but that unexpectely yielded Natan as a 'gift'.

I imagine the lady is old - between 65 and 70 human equivalent, and if she never smoked she might reach 83-87 human equivalent. So, not old enough to spend her time gardening yet, but clearly the clock has been ticking. Think Judi Dench playing M in Skyfall. There’s a short and a Deinar tozon. The l...

Went with earlier estimated age 350+ plus or minus 7 years. Assuming that 400 is nature’s limit for most Loroi.
