Is it just me or does the shuttle suddenly look awfully empty?

Re: Page 106 discussion
I sort of assumed that Beryl would try to sit beside him so I guess Tempo ordered her to sit somewhere else. Apparently the soldiers are at the back behind Tempo but I thought that one of them where placed on Alex side. Fireblade is nowhere to be seen either.dragoongfa wrote:http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider106.html

Re: Page 106 discussion
This is the second or third time Alex doesn't seem to remember someone's name. Is that because of the length of time between seeing them (as when he was in the cell for days) or is hunger getting the better of him?

Or he's like me and has a terrible memory for names when they've only been used once or twice, but will remember a face forever.

Re: Page 106 discussion
That would seem (I almost sound like a Loroi) to be a bad handicap for a would-be diplomat on Alex's type of mission!

Re: Page 106 discussion
Alex was one of the lowest ranking members on the ship though, not a diplomat, and was brought along presumably for his tactical expertise, not his diplomacy.
Given that he does have a mouth on him, hence his assignment to damage control, it's presumable that he wasn't ever expected to do the talking.

"On the contrary, we are Extremely Eager to learn as much as we can about you and your people."
Why does Tempo's gaze seem ...almost sinful when she says that?![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
Oh... that's right she is pushing his buttons to see how he will react and is studying his emotional responses. Do you think Loroi have any skill a cold reading? Meaning discerning if someone is being honest in their replies by the consistency of their non-verbal emotional responses...
Or...could she be 'enjoying' this interchange with someone she cannot easily read with her telepathic abilities? She never knows what he is going to say next?

A new page!
Finally, Alex is asking some important questions. Tempos answers tells us more than just her words and one could wonder why they didn't tell him earlier or why they didn't ask him for that meetingpoint before.

I suppose its possible that Tempo is worried that if Alex gives the coordinates, some zealous captain will go and try to blow up the relay tanker. But I suspect things are more complicated than that.

I remember names, I remember faces, but can't bring them together....
Cool page.
So the Loroi can do jumps to intercept, but cannot go anywhere else without logistic support?
Not much range then, those ships...
But you'd need diplomats anyway before making contact with Humaniti.
The Ur-Quan Masters finally gets a continuation of the story! Late backing possible, more info soon.

I bet Beryl wishes she was sitting next to him. She is a xenophile and 20 days of questions would barely satisfy her.

The green narrative text seems somehow ominous.
After all, the last time we saw it was page 2, and we know how that turned out.

So we moved another 5 lightyears away.... And the journey has just begun.

232 vs 217 lightyears makes a 15 lightyears distance to me.
I wonder how often they had to jump to get there.

Darn, no "Leido Crossroads" to find on any of the maps Arioch provided us with.
But I'm guessing its somewhere between Naam and Azimol.

I can spot Beryl's face on the upper left of the page first picture? And at the end of the bay in the second pic (left of Alex's face).CrimsonFALKE wrote:I bet Beryl wishes she was sitting next to him. She is a xenophile and 20 days of questions would barely satisfy her.
