Re: Re: Retribution (chapter 6) - spoilers!
Arm a significantly powerful explosive, drop a wormhole in the middle of the QE computers, drop off the bomb, close the wormhole, bomb goes off. Suddenly the Syndicate is unable to communicate with any of their fleets anywhere. Chaos ensures. Because, you know, they aren't clever enough to build re...

Re: Retribution, chapter 5, (spoilers)
Actually, the evidence is pretty strong to suggest that Neanderthals did not exactly die out. Rather it seems more likely that at least a portion of them actually interbred with Homo Sapiens. I mean, the average modern human has a few percent of Neanderthal DNA. Yes, human DNA contains a few bits o...

Re: Retribution, chapter 5, (spoilers)
Umm, where did you get the idea that only the one set of Neanderthal remains were found? (at least that's what I read you to mean by "and those remains in the valley that gave them their name were the only ones we ever found"). They have been found all over Europe and southwestern Asia, a...

Re: Retribution, chapter 5, (spoilers)
Re. real-life generation ships: you have to have a reasonable target first (that is one that you want to be at once you arrive), plus a reason for the investment. Right now both of those are lacking. Well, of course. Humans have come up with a system that works for them: capitalism. It provides a l...

Re: Retribution, chapter 5, (spoilers)
Except that if the entire world was re-made then I would expect that too to be incredibly apparent, based on a very short fossil record. Right now we have been told that Feay and vulpers are close enough to inter-breed with their Earth counterparts. Either that holds across the biosphere (in which ...

Re: Retribution, chapter 5, (spoilers)
[...]Yes, a million semi sentient AI versus 1 fighter pilot would be effective. But the more you deploy a purely AI army the more likely someone will find a simple way to nullify your entire force. Why? Because the larger your army the simpler your overall security measures are going to be. Why? Be...

Re: Retribution, chapter 5, (spoilers)
The question I find more perplexing is that unless all of Draconis was re-made for the Feay it should have been plenty apparent to the Feay that they aren't native to the planet, that there were significant genetic differences between themselves and every other living thing on Draconis. Do they cho...

Re: Retribution, chapter 5, (spoilers)
I believe that it is your assumption that the genes of the dreamers have been altered. I personally did not discount the possibility that the dreamers are naturally occurring. I base this on Jason's comment about the adaptability of the Faey, I could be wrong... I agree with that, I seem to remembe...

Re: Retribution, chapter 5, (spoilers)
Pretty sure they don't trust most of their slave races enough to let them fight in battle. I mean we are talking about a species that is even less trusting than humans The threat of destruction of their homeworld would surely be a very reliable threat to stop wholesale betrayel. And small group bet...

Re: Retribution, chapter 5, (spoilers)
Most advanced tech of the benga was stolen from the consortium, which was stolen from some Karrine refugees. There is no guarantee their medical tech progressed to similar levels. WE have already cloned animals successfully! We also routinely do artificial implantation in humans to help nature alon...

Re: Retribution, chapter 5, (spoilers)
In addition, they can use this system and fleet, to keep the syndicate full attention while the kimdori go after those dreamers that were stolen away. They went from a population of millions to thousands. It might not even be a viable number. They can't be locked into VR all the time, as they need ...

Re: Retribution, chapter 5, (spoilers)
He already did. That mecha pilot has to be the one whose POV Fel showed during Chapter 4. That guy was in space. Do you really think he would run away from the fight up above to - again - fight the same fight on the planet? Despite the fact that you essentially control the planet if you have ships ...

Re: Retribution, chapter 4, (spoilers)
I really liked Lieutenant Gen Lun Ba Ru, I hope he survives, maybe as a prisoner of war or the like. He's to cool to die in one chapter. The fact that he had no idea about the Dreamers probably hints that not everybody in the Syndicate would be exactly pleased with the torturing of small children f...

Re: Star Wars - last jedi
Pff I think Star Wars fans should just be glad that Last Jedi isn't a somehow a remake of Empire Strikes Back. A remake of Empire Strikes Back?! Now you've done it. Within the next 10 years Disney will come up with the glorious idea of doing the first three movies from back in the '70s again. It's ...
