The Umiak pulled it off to hide the exact composition and numbers of their fleet in Naam's proplyd material.

Although SG 51 seemed to know the general direction of the Umiak fleet, since their vanguard scouts were positioned towards them.

Sure, a ship can hide in Naam. But it has to get there, one jump from the Loroi borders, without being noticed, too. That sounds like a gamble, unless that ship can farsense which system is empty.

Bellarmine did EXACTLY that. The proplyd hid their visual presence and the crews lotai hid them from the farseers. This is why Alex is so important, study him and figure out how to bring down the lotai and the farsense blocking may be possible to deal with IF their blocking methods are similar enough.

My simplest theory for the unknown ship (by simplest I mean using only known entities).
It's historian ship.
Either a separatist fraction of historians or double game of their government. Anyway they decided to help Umiak and provide them AI crew. AI is known to be invisible for Loroi. The Umiak ships was partially crewed, so their mind signatures serve as bait for Loroi. The ship itself was Historian military advisor providing technical support, who of course wasn't interested in witnesses.

Although he doesn't look too concernd about it, yet.

So, we're gonna get an Advent calendar?

(one may dream, right?)

I need to say, since the previous page I don't recognize Beryl anymore, it's as if there's a completely different person.

One may, yes.

hi hi

Alex's expression kind of reads as, "Well excuse me, princess." But I'm sure he's saying something a little bit more tactful than that.

Although, tact isn't something the Loroi are terribly familiar with in general, so he might be better off saying things that are at least a little bit tactless.

He is probably telling stupid jokes to lift the crew morale:

Alex: Where did the Umiak crew go after the explosion ?
Beryl: I do not know, Captain ...
Alex: Everwhere !
Beryl: ...

It seems to be happening. TY, Arioch!

I think that’s just regular movement in zero g. I doubt someone who’s part of deep space exploration (ie bellarmine crew) would need additional training in that.

Why do I have to think of Zero G Twister?

I'm thinking of the "now here's one of the main characters running" part of the intro to any anime from the 90s

Is that Beryl in the passenger cabin?
If so, Alex perhaps convinced the Loroi there's something usable in the cargo hold (Bellarmine's salvaged stuff)?

It looks like left hook swing for me.

Not in zero-g it ain't!
She should have turned the other way if she started with the normal backdraw of her arm

Magnetic boots?

Hell, now i see that too

hi hi

To me, it reads like she is pushing off of a surface to move elsewhere, but someone behind her says something and she turns to look at the speaker in mid motion.
