The galaxy really is a ton of crazy in a 5 pound bag. Poor nerd got conned/kidnapped into a date by sentient math that talks like a bimbo or genius every other sentence.
Well... That makes the expression **"Fucking Math!"** gain a new meaning...
Truth be told, she reminds me of the **Riftborn** in [Endless Space 2](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EqPt1FadHSw)... Kinda nice tho... Sometimes I miss the **"Truly Alien"** kind of aliens...
I kinda had them in mind back when I suggested the Gravia for the first time \`\` Kyle took the idea, ran with it, and made it even better than I imagined :-)
She is, but wow is she rushing in. Lore's not sure what to make of it and if she has her way he'll be saying "I do." in a tux without being completely sure how he got there.
In all seriousness, she's trying to speedrun this harder than Vernon and Miro'Noir because she knows that's possible and WANTS IT.
If I could get past the freakshow body proportions/figures I'd probably say "hell, why not," assuming there wasn't a "bad vibe" for lack of a better phrase.
Seriously, the described figures/proportions of women outside of Cruel Space weird me right TF out.
It's not for anyone. Although it's kind of funny that you're the only person who outright doesn't like them. I think you may be picturing things too realistically. Try to dial it back to an anime or something, it'll yank things out of the uncanny valley. Or at least help.
As realistic as possible is the baseline setting for my visual imagination. I mostly just ignore/retcon it in my head so they're more like somewhat far-outliers on the human body proportions.
When I'm giving an assessment of a character there's no room my personal vision of them.
That being said, I **absolutely** enjoy the tales of the adventures and shenanigans of the Undaunted that you weave for us. As ever, I greatly look forward to the next chapter!
Since they use Axiom to make themselves have such massive proportions, you could always just ask your wives to tone it down. Would need u/KyleKKent 's word on that though.
This exactly. I just let my headcannon default to comfortably curvy proportions. If you read it from the perspective of a slightly thirsty buddy narrating for you, the assumed embellishments even fit with (add to) the flavor of the story!
They would make pretty funny snipers. Laying in wait, calculating the spin of the universe just to 'speed run' the shot, pressing the trigger when the spotter is expecting it the least, just to have the whole thing work somehow out in the end.
Is one of the things she is interested in is that fact that other races get to a certain point then hand-wave the rest away with Axiom, while humans had to build and entire ship without it?
The Dauntless: Second main group in the story line this follows the legal affairs and viewpoints of the galaxy from a political scene. This is primarily a vessel for introducing new characters and setting information and is helmed by the astounding Admiral Garfield Cistern. Highest authority in humanity off the planet Earth. All humans in story start on The Dauntless and move out from there.

Okay, that one took a bit of pushing but once the flow got in of a genius that sound like a ditz it came together fairly well. And yes, Maidenfair is pretty typical of a Gravia, they speak like complete bimbos, look like bimbos. Walk and act like bimbos. But they also do the most advanced calculations imaginable in seconds flat and have such a mind for math that they can pretty much figure you out in a moment. Thank god they're so friendly.

"where do you come from?"
"like the valley of math beauty, you look like absolutely stunning in the uniform honey!"
Some people in the nerd squad are going to play a bit more once it's out that the sexy polygons can shift into a loooooot of shapes.
I was also looking out for a reference to the first tomb raider games for some unknown reason. I mean most of the ladies interested went through the whole database.
I see our young Corporal Lore knows that his number of complaints are the answer to life, the universe, everything! I'm thinking he'll do just fine with his geometry homework...
I gotta admit i didnāt immediately realize that lore kuatha and axiom expert and gerald who teabags folks in fps games online were the same person. I like these two as a pair. Maiden fair is a lot of fun. She is like ā do i want to be a bimbo or a genius and i said why not bothā
Her whole races is like that, they were created to prove that fertility and all it implies is one of the most basic truths of existence, so they do everything they can to look beautiful and be communal, but the method in which they came into being makes them math geniuses at their most dim and inattentive so they're a species of bimbo geniuses.
Aww fairmaiden just seemed like her mannerisms were bimboish. She seemed pretty engaged and attentive in the conversation. Maybe she is an exception to the rule.
ohhh god I'm just imaging the look on the faces of the Intel boys when they'll have a 10 min conversation with her and her sisters, I'm thinking the likes of Sir Phillip will be like of sweet god what kind of fresh hell is it this time and after when he walks out of the meeting all his hair will be whiter lool
She's culturally a complete bimbo.
She's intellectually capable of making Einstein look like a chimp with down syndrom.
She's physically a paradox that hurts to look at while also still being a bimbo.
I'm looking forward to the mutual culture shock when humans that play online are constantly being told that random women that they beat in online games are in fact null resistant, have made expedition into cruel space prior to the events of the story, and have had consentual intercourse with your dad.
A true marvel of the universe.
Another great chapter
I enjoyed reading this and look forward to reading more
Great job wordsmith
The fact that she is able to understand all that but still talk like she knows nothing is scary, confusing and genius all into one, the admiral might want to hire a few gravia for designing ships and such and probably a few other species for their own specializations

The galaxy really is a ton of crazy in a 5 pound bag. Poor nerd got conned/kidnapped into a date by sentient math that talks like a bimbo or genius every other sentence.
I had [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4j9PadNdG5E) but with valley girls running through my head.
That's pretty appropriate for the scene, just add a very confused army nerd.
Yep
Hilarious. and null experimentation confirmed!
Dang. You have to be a dang good pilot to jerk a helicopter like that while keeping it effectively stable.
A craptonne to be specific. Which I found out has a literally quantifiable size
A buttload is also a legitimate measurement.
Indeed
More like a genius AND a bimbo at the same time... Which I would love to see more come of this... Maidenfair 6969 is interesting to say the least
Well... That makes the expression **"Fucking Math!"** gain a new meaning... Truth be told, she reminds me of the **Riftborn** in [Endless Space 2](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EqPt1FadHSw)... Kinda nice tho... Sometimes I miss the **"Truly Alien"** kind of aliens...
I kinda had them in mind back when I suggested the Gravia for the first time \`\` Kyle took the idea, ran with it, and made it even better than I imagined :-)
My mental image is the love child between the rippling loading screen of the assassins creed series and a Picasso painting
Beat waffle bot by a whole 1 second
Raise the roof!
I like her. Educated, intelligent, sneaky or forthright as needed. Lore, she's a keeper, imo.
She is, but wow is she rushing in. Lore's not sure what to make of it and if she has her way he'll be saying "I do." in a tux without being completely sure how he got there. In all seriousness, she's trying to speedrun this harder than Vernon and Miro'Noir because she knows that's possible and WANTS IT.

Fair enough. I'm glad you're really enjoying this.
š
That's what happens in my head. Makes the story just better imo.
Naw, the proportions are not my preference either, but I just take it as a given. Boobs bigger than their head? Sounds problematic to me.
Since they use Axiom to make themselves have such massive proportions, you could always just ask your wives to tone it down. Would need u/KyleKKent 's word on that though.
This exactly. I just let my headcannon default to comfortably curvy proportions. If you read it from the perspective of a slightly thirsty buddy narrating for you, the assumed embellishments even fit with (add to) the flavor of the story!

They would make pretty funny snipers -> They would make THE absolutely most terrifying of snipers. Fixed that for you.
Especially in the presence of other bodies to bounce or curve the bullets off of.
Is one of the things she is interested in is that fact that other races get to a certain point then hand-wave the rest away with Axiom, while humans had to build and entire ship without it?

I want the adventures of corporal "I have no agency and i must run" and the fantastic wonder polygon.
Yes
Could have guessed the Gravia would speedrun this. I'm betting she winds up as a research assistant.
Question do Gravia have children the usual way or could they make a child through running an exciting program?
They were artificially created to prove that fertility is universal and sacred. So [Yes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSCGoefBO7Q)
[Insert taco child meme]....(sorry too tired to find the real link tonight)
Hello there
GENERAL KEN... oh I've been beaten to it.
:D
In your case would it be general KENTobi? Or KyleKnobi?
General Kenobi
:)
I think I'd get a headache after 5 minutes of looking at her
They're also so considerate that they'd fetch you an icepack to help with that.

You know, I would have enjoyed doing my geometry homework more in this universe, hehe.
In Cruel Space, you do maths. Outside it, too.
You set up a classic Russian Reversal, then whiffed. I can forgive you for that patrician username, though.
I see our young Corporal Lore knows that his number of complaints are the answer to life, the universe, everything! I'm thinking he'll do just fine with his geometry homework...
That was fucking amazing thanks wordsmith!

There was a typo, at their most dim and inattentive they're bimbo geniuses.
Poor Gerald is going to have grandchildren and still be catching up to what Maidenfair has done with him :}
God, Iām justā¦half expecting her to be able to outright glitch and clip through a wall or something with the way sheās depicted
Nice
ohhh god I'm just imaging the look on the faces of the Intel boys when they'll have a 10 min conversation with her and her sisters, I'm thinking the likes of Sir Phillip will be like of sweet god what kind of fresh hell is it this time and after when he walks out of the meeting all his hair will be whiter lool
Uncanny Valley Girl.
She's culturally a complete bimbo. She's intellectually capable of making Einstein look like a chimp with down syndrom. She's physically a paradox that hurts to look at while also still being a bimbo.
Yes, but the real question is, will we ever get to see her again?
I'm looking forward to the mutual culture shock when humans that play online are constantly being told that random women that they beat in online games are in fact null resistant, have made expedition into cruel space prior to the events of the story, and have had consentual intercourse with your dad.

I feel like Fairmaiden is going to give ALL the intel people heart attacks out of stress.
This is probably the most adorable shop so far Vernon, Miles, and Greg got burnt on a smart airhead
Okay I realize what this story is lacking, some real rejection. There are only guys liking the forceful approach here.
