Mpod3mthReplied to EmberWyldesThat might be backward. Venom glands evolved from salivary type glands
Apparently, snakes had something unique about their nervous system that allowed them to react immediately when attacked. This mechanism still remained even after death, as long as the sensory organs around its head had not been decomposed; meaning that they could still pose a lethal threat. As many snakes possessed powerful venom, cases of dying from snake bites after a snake was dead were not that rare.- Mpod3mthReplied to EmberWyldes
Assuming the animal in question lets go
Even if the Brown Crag Snake were venomous, being bitten by its sharp fangs would be like having two hooks embedded and stuck in one's flesh. - Mpod4mthCommented
millennium*
[I suggest that we outsource. There hasn't been an approved proposal to update our military technnology in nearly a millennia, so there are many designs both in the private sector and outside the Alliance that exceed what our current military suppliers can provide.] - Mpod4mthCommented
oxidation*, though trying to disambiguate between the two has been bothering me for hours now
Once the shuttle was gone, Nico cheerfully poked the encrypted lock's keypad with one finger on each hand and the crate hissed with the release of inert Nitrogen gas, the standard packing process for most shipments, as it would prevent oxidization of the cargo. - Mpod4mthReplied to EmberWyldes
That's some frisky flag-poling
That's fine, they won't get far in a sealed off city. - Mpod5mthReplied to DrAssassin17
The joys of typos when trying to fix typos
"Our apologies for coming so early. There are a lot of Alliance formalities that come with our arrival, so we thought that it would be best if we got her first, so that any Alliance eyes that might be watching wouldn't get upset about any slight in the formal rituals. - Mpod5mthCommented
Flesh crafter? Like in Summoning System?
Ranarth smiled at Uncle Lu's question. "I will make him look and function just like the rest of his species. I'm a bit rusty after some time off from creative flesh art, so a simple reconstructive surgery to put the winged creature back to normal would be the perfect warm up. There's no risk, it's so simple that I could have done this with a field medic kit even when I was still a young man." - Mpod5mthCommented
would be* a hit to their reputation
A regular paying guest missing the ship would be an inconvenience, but one of the underage students being left behind would a hit to their reputation, and so far, the Terminus Academy had an impeccable record, and a long string of academic victories since their inception. - Mpod5mthReplied to zerzy
Some acknowledge the correction. Seems like sometimthey can't go back and fix it. Some authors and translators don't read the comments too much though
They rushed out into the battlefield, mana costing their bodies to enhance their speed. Massive waves of elemental attacks continuously struck the oncoming tide of abominations, fiercely dwindling their numbers. - Mpod5mthCommentedCh 534 534 Broken Curses

that we would as you to change our status - > that we would ask* you to change our status
But you've already broken our link to the Mana Beast, even the others who arrived today can feel it, and they know right away that we're different. We can't go home, we will never be the same that we were without the Forced Awakening, limiting our powers. So, we decided between us, that we would as you to change our status. - Mpod5mthCommented
Marcus - >Marco
Max slowly got to his feet and nodded to Marcus. - Mpod5mthCommented
Marcus - > Marco
Nico came back out after installing the replicator, looking like herself again, and took a seat between Max and Marcus at the low table they had chosen. - Mpod5mthCommented
Marcus - > Marco?
"Should we send someone to help her?" Marcus asked hesitantly as he heard the sound of Nico whistling and metal furniture banging in the back room. - Mpod5mthReplied to syrus_mandell
Not to knock ballistae at all. They served different purposes within a siege
"That happens when you get smart. Stay near me during the battle. Two smart Giants are better than one, and the humans have always been tricky with their walls and catapults." Drakon ordered him, making Schmidt his right-hand man and second in charge of the Giant army. - Mpod5mthCommented
Phrasing at the end seems awkward but I don't have any great suggestions
"Good day, Marco. I am Commander Keres Max, head of the Terminus Trading Company, and I had wanted to congratulate you on having your intermediary find our finest coffee beans for your shop." Max replied, and Nala laughed as the man frozen in spot. - Mpod5mthCommented
bee shipping out - > been* shipping out
The version that he had bee shipping out was more powerful than the original to account for the mass of Rank Two monsters, but he had been seeing a fair number of Rank Three ones lately as well. For now, they could just shoot it a half dozen times, or use the heavy machine guns, but if there started to be Rank Four monsters around, they were going to have to update their strategies. - Mpod5mthCommented
and Max thought*
She even seated them in the proper Comor fashion, by their ranks, and Max though that maybe this sort of restaurant would catch on with the Koleska as well. The styles were compatible enough that they would understand the procedures, and just exotic enough that they would find them exotic, and not an alien mockery of their own traditions. - Mpod5mthCommented
1 million km out is really not nearly out of a neutron star's gravitational influence
If the experiment to transport the ultra-compressed matter to this layer and fill the Dyson Sphere with the required materials is successful, we will be bringing the Dyson Sphere to a point one million kilometres in the opposite direction, safely out of the gravitational influence of the neutron star, where we can move it back into our home layer and theoretically the nuclear reaction should spontaneously begin once it is back under the normalized spatial laws there. - Mpod5mthCommented
fusion into helium*
Max nodded. "Of course, what I am suggesting is that we go for a Carbon Nitrogen Oxygen, or CNO fusion cycle miniature star, which will produce its own hydrogen for a proton to proton fusion into hydrogen, which will be inherently unstable at such a small size, and continue the cycle.
