I could almost imagine this as a "silent" panel, with Talon and Beryl talking and reacting to each other through sanzai, just based on the nonchalant expression on Alex's face.dragoongfa wrote:

Beryl to Talon ~ Sanzai {I'm watching those hands..you hussy!}
Tallon ~ Sanzai {What?!? Me? I just want to ... hold his 'hand' again..}
Alex, Thinking {Am I missing something here?}

"Centuries later, the Battle of Fort Jardin would become a legendary event that helped shape the Quadrant.
Few would know what actually happened that day. Some think it was the first combined combat action made between Humanity and the Loroi. Others say it was a last stand for some involved.
A few radical trolls say it was just a pillow fight on a shuttle...but no one takes them seriously. In any event, the results of the battle helped shape the political and strategic climate of the Quadrant for generations of Loroi and many more generation of Humans."

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Ah, Talon vs Beryl again. “My science project!” vs “my non-gloomy entertainment!”
Based on the cylindrical object Beryl’s holding:
Talon: What are you doing?! I heard he gets stinky if he eats loroi food.
Beryl: I’m sure a marshmallow will be fine!

I think the cylindrical shape is part of Beryl's uniform, not something she's holding.

Well, I think subtlety will be thrown out the window soon. If anything else, Alex seems the least guarded around those two.

Could be that they're telling alex about them being part of the same child group, which is why they're pointing to their identical tattoos.SaintofM wrote:Well, I think subtlety will be thrown out the window soon. If anything else, Alex seems the least guarded around those two.
Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Talon seems more pleased and natural.
Spiral seems flirty, even if she's doing it unconsciously. But on the other hand...she's a combat pilot. If Loroi combat pilots are like Human combat pilots....yeah. Bold.

Knowing that Arioch is a Homeworld fan...

L.As a result of the fact that most recon patrols require spending long periods of time in a small cockpit, many Seekers pilots are young, single women of smaller stature. This has led to deep recon missions being referred to as "Heartbreak Patrols"…but whether this is more to do with the stress they put on fledgling relationships or the disruptions caused by these pilots making up for lost time upon their return is not known.
Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
I just realized something: that's beryl and Spiral in the original poster. Are they going to get into a girl fight over a male?
Is this normal for the blue girls when a highly valued male is around? Is this the real reason males aren't on the front lines? Is alex going to see if they saved a bag of popcorn for the inevitable?

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Oddly the two shoulder to shoulder somehow reminds me of Jem and the Holograms. Its probably the hair and face tattoo. Their hair isn't big enough for 80's style glam-rock, but somehow it triggers some very old memories. Though it may be the lips as well.
Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Looking forward to more culture specifics! Not up on my alium alphabet - are the tattoos any particular letter or number?
edit: Know answer's probably coming in the comic, but hate waiting to find out things that snag my curiosity...

Spiral and Talon's hair might not be, but Fireblade's certainly is!
Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Not as much. They are more in disagreement over the right way to treat a male. Beryl seems to favor the "coddle and tuck them away safely" type, but Talon is - interestingly enough - more open minded and ready to see Alex eye to eye.SaintofM wrote:I just realized something: that's beryl and Spiral in the original poster.

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Yes, that is interesting. We've seen a variety of approaches, including Tempo's diplomatic treatment and Stillstorm's 'take it out the back and shoot it.' I guess Beryl wants Alex safe and sound so a) she can complete an important assignment and b) she can (cheerfully) squeeze as much information out of him as possible.novius wrote:...They are more in disagreement over the right way to treat a male.

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Based on the latest background posted, we might get to see tiny versions of Spiral and Talon.
