Morals aside That makes sense I suppose. But how many people are they feeding? Lol they are stealing entire herds.

“Oh, yes. He is absolutely very much a male… at least biologically. We won’t know if he is cognitively male until we have a chance to speak with him, of course.” Gilara crossed the room to stand

What? How could he be biologically male and cognitively female? 😂 that’s literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever read.

lol he’s on a space station, with aliens so advanced their holograms have tactical capabilities. And he’s asking about gender? What? That is literally the least important question I can think of. In fact it’s not even on the list of questions I would ask. lol Something else they are probably not even genetically compatible. Making gender even more irrelevant.

It doesn’t make sense. Herd immunity should protect him fine especially until they sort all this out. They should be more concerned about him what kind of crap a primitive is carrying. lol

Limited liability companies are still subject to laws a regulation. It has more to do with lawsuits and protection from money grubbing idiots than anything else.

who even came close to inspiring that feeling wasn’t even her species. Could they even have kits? And if they could, should they? She didn’t want Mysk society as a whole to shun her kits for something that wasn’t their fault.
Jared McIntyre
I so hope this isn’t a focus of the book. And seeing as they are from earth they are most certainly not compatible.

So far this story seems to be more of a wondering path than a straight line story.

Sigh is this going to be one of those stories where the main character is filthy rich yet a square piece of toilet paper costs more than an evening dinner?

There’s been a shift away from protecting and helping people to enforcing the law, and it seems like so many officers these days don’t care that we often see people on the worst days of their lives. We shouldn’t be adding to that.
Jared McIntyre
That really depends on what is meant here. The police should enforce the law. While I agree there should be a human factor in the enforcement of laws. There’s also the victim to consider. But so many people on the left feel that the criminal is the victim when in many cases- perhaps not all cases- are not victims

Honestly it all depends on how fast the ship could travel in FTL. He said they traveled for a month. But that doesn’t mean much. But seeing as they have unexplored space in the galaxy. It couldn’t be more than a few thousand light years away. Granted it a lot of space. But it could be narrowed down by looking for triple star systems. Alpha Centauri is tri nary star system and is only four light years away.

Considering how big this station seems to be I’m surprised they’re all wearing what amounts to a soft shell space suit. You would think the station would be built with enough redundancy to make it unnecessary for civilians.
