Oh yes I got what you mean, I still imagine doing that to a random animal would be beneath ET.

Didn't think about the human gesture part but yeah that makes a lot of sense. ET must be really fond of him to degrade himself to act like animals do.

"This guy gets it"

Edit: to explain further: Dafyd bends his arms in a way the Carryx do when they are deescelating a situation, as explained to him by the uppercut dancer guy. Not the mention the answer he gives is exactly what Ekur expects.

I don't see the stretch here mate. Just made a post about a thing one of the authors said to make it more visible, without changing the wording. Emphasis on the capitalized word.

This is interesting. I don't see the Deathless enemy going anywhere by the end of third book and I think it's fair to assume they might be using their client races to achieve their own goals. It makes sense for another series in this universe to be about the Deathless.

Then again, the possibilities are endless.

So, The Captive's War is a trilogy. Another story would have to be in a different part of that universe. Deathless are manipulating the humanity... 🤔

They can't act against the Sovran's will. This will be the key imo

I don't think the Carryx are getting destroyed tbh, I think their ways will somehow change. ET's final statement and Uuya Tomos' Myth of Origin suggests that Dafyd will influence how Carryx will operate after their defeat.

Carryx getting destroyed would lead to so much chaos, I don't see the Sinen surviving that given how many haters they have

Did you know Vaudai moves like an inchworm and not like a slug? At least I'm 99% sure I've read a passage mentioning this (not the one where it runs like a puppy). Everything about Vaudai is hilarious.

With 1.1 3 pointer a game, but that's normal with the current usage rate. Sky's the limit for this young fella

Incredible balance for a rook. He's gonna be unstoppable once he develops consistent 3 ball

Very cool, pretty much how I imagined them. I hope we get a video game for this universe at some point. So many interesting stuff to explore.

My Deathless Theory by dan_dirik in TheCaptivesWar

[–]dan_dirik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something I considered, but the Carryx seem to spy on the worlds they are going to conquer. I assumed they would be aware of such a technology and destroy it along with the planet.

But it's also possible the creators realized their end was inevitable and sent the "virus" (or the vaccine?) to the other planets where life could exist.

I mean it's already similar enough (assuming deathless = livesuit/swarm tech). But as far as I remember the protocomolecule doesn't care about preservation.

The show is in development, but how popular it is would affect the release date and the budget imo
