Re: The kidnapped/enslaved/brainwashed humans

Well second closest, the Kimdori come first.

Re: Retribution, chapter 5, (spoilers)

...didn't Jason basically beat the shit out of a Benga because he doesn't wan't people playing around with trying to exploit the precognition (especially the way that the Syndicate was doing it). That said, the natives seem to know how to control their gifts at least a little bit without the horribl...

Re: Retribution, chapter 4, (spoilers)

Yeah, I to assume the Interdictor has been activated...probably while we were seeing things from that Benga's POV. We are probably going to see something along the same lines asking for reinforcements and then reacting to the fact that somebody shut down their hyperspace travel. A 3 week period wher...

Re: Retribution, chapter 4, (spoilers)

Sorry for the double post, however a question just popped into my mind while re-reading the latest chapter. the KMS has been using the rail guns for a while, and in space there's no friction to well..burn up or stop a Rail Slug that's fired. Do the KMS track the trajectories of the slugs they fire a...

Re: Retribution, chapter 4, (spoilers)

Well he's a lieutenant so he can't be TO high up...but his internal monologue seems to indicate that this was a cushy reward job for somebody who has been a REAL good soldier. So he probably has more authority than his relatively junior rank might indicate. That said, you have a point, this is the f...

Retribution, chapter 4, (spoilers)

Wow, when viewed from an enemy the KMS is fucking horrifying. We get to see the attack which seems to be going well so far. 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 ...

Re: Retribution, chapter 3, (spoilers)

No, explicitly there are people whose job it is to care for the Tree's. Jason flew around and found where it was 'meant' to be planted and then found a local gardener who was basically told "Do everything to make sure this tree thrives." And sure, people who know better will do their best ...

Re: Retribution, chapter 3, (spoilers)

I think you need Parri or other shaman to grow the oyi trees...and at the moment they don’t really care to live anywhere but where they want. Jason might have Shaman potential but I can’t see him tending millions of tres full time or convincing the Perri to do so. The Perri seem not to care much abo...

Re: Retribution, chapter 3, (spoilers)

As SYED mentioned currently I think the plan was for Jason to get Rann and his wife ready and then will abdicate to go tinker with tech, explore the galaxy etc. I'm sure he will still have influence but there are a lot of things Jason wants to do but can't because he has to run the House and play na...

Re: Retribution, chapter 3, (spoilers)

Interesting idea... I had wondered back in the 2nd book? If Cybi might fall for Jason if she ever got a physical body, from one of the comments after Jason had his ganglions repaired. But the scenario you describe would be in a way a form of torture. To be immortal and watch your family die of old ...

Re: Retribution, chapter 3, (spoilers)

So, the Ijara are gone! But there are other intergalactic players out there. If a war between two galaxies that has lasted less than a decade is noticed by these intergalactic players, then a war between two galactic superpowers that has lasted for six millennia must have been noticed as well. Thou...

Re: Retribution, chapter 1, (spoilers)

Could be that the plan is to destroy the system no matter what, with some group planning to swoop in and pick up the Oracles before it happens.

Re: Chapter 26

Yeah...that's not really how that works. Mutually Assured Destruction is contingent on rational actors who will hesitate to press the button unless needed. While the Dragons felt pushed into a corner, a lot of the people who kind of sit on those kind of committees might disagree. The hurricane thing...

Holy shit, they just effectively knocked out China. Something like that...there's going to be people sitting up all around the world at that little display. For all that it was face saving, the Chinese President was absolutely right, there are going to be people around the world, ESPECIALLY in the U...

Re: Earth Bond chapter 25, [SPOILERS]

One thing I'm kind of scratching my head about was the end, when we learned that he could fly and then asks the elders to craft a device to stop him doing so...that kind of threw me. His reasons is kind of 'if i can't do it, I won't experiment and blow it open' is sound if a bit weird but I still ha...
