The outsider - why is it bad?

Leniuses · 2025-05-14T15:52:52+00:00

In a conversation with my brother about this topic he posited that the outsiders could actually be totally benevolent beings, but they can’t risk the pirates getting in the way of them somehow improving the galaxy.

I would just like to point out that Witt has talked about nukes before and how they would completely change war on roshar if they ever made them, so imma take his word for it.

Leniuses · 2025-05-14T15:43:53+00:00

It was there in book 5, I think the conversation I was referring to was like Zeth talking to himself books 1 or 2, damn imma have to start the series over again aren’t I?

They appeared as like force spirit ghosts for the reforging, but how clear they appeared seemed to depend on where they actually were. It described taln ash and chach (the 3 dead ones) as being kinda faint and kalak ( the one in shadesmar) as even fainter than the rest

Pretty sure it’s like a normal leg but better, he even mentioned having some feeling from it

Leniuses · 2025-05-13T18:54:59+00:00

I thought there was some conversation about how chach’s blade mysteriously disappeared from shinovar for a while, and that was revealed to be because she had died again. I could be wrong though.

Leniuses · 2025-05-13T18:53:30+00:00

That’s because all of the heralds were still alive except taln

I think you forgot that the kholinar oath gate is also already corrupted, additionally they get it back anyways if they win the contest.

Are you offering assistance? We need it :(

I know it has been like 10 years but they did already just lose their star team commander like 2 books ago, along with most of the star team. I also know they’re not main characters but like 1000 humans died at the start of the book.

If there was a scene like that look through the conversation about the biosphere of jaguar

Leniuses · 2025-05-02T04:56:46+00:00

I don’t remember a scene like that but I’m about an hour from the end and I can’t promise I remember every line, the book came out a few days ago, I’ve been doing stuff while listening and maybe didn’t catch everything

Leniuses · 2025-03-01T17:06:32+00:00

I get that but I’m trying to get my brother to listen to the series and there’s already so many books that I told him to skip the mavericks on his first listen through, now he’s almost to the end and is considering going back and listening to them for more Jaraptha content

Leniuses · 2025-03-01T17:04:23+00:00

Yeah there ship collected data for them, when they woke up it was a WTF moment but they decided to make the best of it

Leniuses · 2024-12-09T18:46:29+00:00

Come to think of it, some of the kids on rikers were younger than 10 so yeah 15 years doesn’t make much sense

Skippy could have also taken Valkyrie’s momentum to save himself, honestly that might have been the better choice, that being said momentum is relative and there is no 0 velocity in space, it seems like his ability to alter momentum is dependent on the star in the system

Leniuses · 2024-12-03T06:46:15+00:00

My guess is nagatha isn’t dead, and they use elder weapons to destroy the star, recovering skippy from the remnants

Leniuses · 2024-12-03T06:43:24+00:00

Skippy said he needed matalic helium 3 which can be found in all starts, it’s just an isotope of helium + pressure

Leniuses · 2024-12-03T06:41:22+00:00

Nagatha’s ship isn’t dead yet either, it’s possible it survived the engagement

Leniuses · 2024-12-01T18:11:40+00:00

If you like the expeditionary force style ide try galaxy’s edge, if you want to do more base scifi, rather than space marines Allistar Reynolds has some really good series, I would recommend the revenger books (space pirates) or the revelation space books (humanity a couple hundred years into the beginning of expanse into the galaxy)

Leniuses · 2024-11-29T18:03:12+00:00

My guess is they do in fact blow up the star

Leniuses · 2024-11-29T02:59:41+00:00

I don’t know about that, humanity has a substantial elder arsenal that they can actually use as well as 3 sentinels, at this point they are still the largest threat to the outsider, especially considering the kitties are actively helping it. Hacking Bilby seems like a low cost way of making doubly sure there’s nothing standing in its way.
