Re: Earth Bond Chapter 14 Discussion (spoilers!)

I am taking this from recent reports by the navy to congress about those new ship types which they themselves admit that LCS ships have a very low tolerance for damage. They can't take a punch well. They are aluminium ships and the navy itself says that the LCS ships would not meet even Level I sta...

Re: So who is the strongest?

The reference to Eron being made to counter Jasana, may not be literal, he may have been made so she had a contemporary who was an equal.

Re: tribulation (spoilers) chapter 3

I think the use of BPS in the consortium military has more to do with the nature of the war in their own galaxy, and their paranoia (if the smaller fighters have no other power it's harder for dissidents to steal them, there is no need for them in independent roles, and the insectoids instincts may ...

Re: Tribulation (spoiler) chap one

point 1 The consortium probably no longer thinks like a corporation if it ever did. Fel said trade guild. Guilds are about controlling an area of endeavor. While corporations are more about making money for stockholders. point 2 Having only the insectoid race fight and preventing civilian casualties...

Re: Shadow Walker Chapter 4 (Spoilers*)

As to why Kyven was caught at this time was at the Shadowfox's doing, she manipulated this event. Now some of us are speculating about why she has done this, looking through every little nuance and trying to figure it out. Now I have a thought that the reason is actually very simple, but as with al...

Re: On the origin of species (interplanetary edition)

Yes he explained how the Faey got to Draconis that wasn't what I posted was about. What I posted about was the circumstances of how Jason's ancestor got to Earth. After the destruction of Karis the surviving Karinnes were warned off from returning there, to go into hiding. Now this was something I ...

chapter 5 “He stood up and waited for her to look down at her paper and write on it, in some language he’d never seen before , and then he pulled his trinket out of his pocket.” 4. Why weren’t the Loremaster reports Kyven read written in this (presumably) private language for protection? Maybe shor...

Re: Chap 8 Spoilers

so we are looking at a centuries long protracted castle siege? cause think do i , that option two is going to be game plan over here. I've been thinking along similar lines. How long does everyone think the war will last? The biggest wild card are the interdictors, when (if?) they are compromised. ...

Re: Chap 8 Spoilers

You overlooked one little point though, the Consortium doesn't give a fig about their neutrality. Also unlike Switzerland which had a very strong defensive postion, Moridon is wide open to attack, that is why Siyhaa wanted that interdictor resevered. So in the end Moridon will have a choice: Join t...

Re: How truly human is Jason by the end of 'Unification'?

Maybe the real question should be: How good is Jason? Or, how moral and just is he? Having found that House Trillane were committing human/faey rights abuses Jason, having too little evidence to prove his charge, started randomly killing all their delivery drivers. Imagine if a major corporation, s...

Re: The Galatic Boogeyman?

Now the Fleet Issue Yes the Consortium has a larger fleet then the Kimdori...possibly if Miaari is telling the truth. Remeber it was Miaari telling this to Jason not Zaa. Remember they are manipulators and they control the Faey by what they tell them. However if those numbers are correct the Kimdor...
