OK I can now answer all your questions about this here:
<a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=7&t=39895' target='_blank'>http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/in...=ST&f=7&t=39895</a>
To answer your questions before you ask them:

<b>What is a Ferai?</b>
That is what you were looking at in that concept art; it is NOT a skulk, nor was it ever a skulk in the sense you think.

<b>Buh, wuh?!</b>
This story takes place before the events of the kharaa and stuff. The Ferai existed before the kharaa in my story, and in my story, guess what the kharaa skulk is based on <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> You guessed it, Ferai

<b>Ferai? How do you pronouce that?! Sounds like a car.</b>
It's pronounced "ferr-ayyy". Yes it sounds like "furry", but if you carefully pronouce words you will realise that it sounds different.

<b>Umm, this doesnt make sense, wuh? buh?</b>
The story is first person narrative from the viewpoint of a Ferai. The names therfore are in the Ferai's native language. I doubt they will call themselves "bob" for instance ^-^

Oh, and "Lakath" Is the planet they live on - more will be explained later in the story, yes it seems short but this is actually 2 pages worth of story, at least according to msword. It's only a single part though, More will come later.

So here is the story:D

    Nice. I found the descriptions of Lakath very evocative. Keep it up for part 2.

    Very interesting, you wrote about something different for once and it came out well. I cant wait to see what that shiny cube is.

    Good news, I have finished "writing" section 2, it's just a case of getting it checked over before I post it. I will update this thread as soon as I do <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    very nice, but that box scares me. Hopefully it dosen't contain a hive that makes the ferai go evil, lose thier hair, and kill everyone else and name themselves 'skulks' by any chance. MORE

  • BeastBeast Armonkyi Join Date: 2003-04-21 Member: 15731Members, Constellation

    Am I allowed to post to opinnion? People will think we're a gestalt entity soon...


    Nice balance between the action of the racetrack and the sneaking around, then the dialogue.

    I'm struggling not to give away bits I know from MSN <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
  • Dirty_Harry_PotterDirty_Harry_Potter Join Date: 2002-11-21 Member: 9500Members
    good like the desc. of his movements which is most of the part <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->, but good. but still no explainations about the "technical terms" but they werent used either...
  • That_Annoying_KidThat_Annoying_Kid Sire of Titles Join Date: 2003-03-01 Member: 14175Members, Constellation
    the movements and such were nice, you gave us a good feel for how me moved around and what the area surronding him was


    in the next chapter were headed for a little action eh?


    this looks to be good

    but maybe the thing that dropped from the sky isn't hostile, just maybe....
  • BeastBeast Armonkyi Join Date: 2003-04-21 Member: 15731Members, Constellation
    Section 3 now in final planning stages, should be done by the end of this week. It's really confusing atm :/

    Section 3 halfway done with the writing. It's going to have an action sequence in it, and you will probably work out what the "strange object" really is also <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
    I just hope I can manage, section 3 is allready huge at half-way to it's completion O_o.

    Ok, I've finished writing section 3, in the process likely giving myself RSI in my left hand. It's just a case of getting it checked by a few selected peeps for grammar issues and such, then I will post it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I liked the third part, it seemed well worth the wait and the six hours

    I take it he isn't a violent creature and I take it that the cave was spaceship and teh creatare was a pre tsa black ops man <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
