Humanity, at an early interstellar stage, bumps into a group's of alien refugees fleeing a massive space amazon psychic elf/ transhuman superpragmatic space bug total war. MC's ship was one of many sent out on a first contact mission. Witnessing a battle between the belligerents, they were ambushed by a third party. Alex is the only survivor as far as we know, he was picked up by the spplotelves. The plot thickens when it turns out that humans may well be the only species immune to the space elves telepathy. After a fairly rough reception, he's finally been acknowledged as probably a real diplomat and not some sort of space bug clone trick. He's being hustled back to the sector capital, away from what turned out to be the frontline of the two empires.
He's accompanied by a military scholar, a psychokinetic bodyguard, and a not!spy/commisar.

That does cast Fireblade in a new light, as that would definitely be cute.
I hope Fireblade gets some character development, but thinking about the length of time required for that to happen at the comic’s current rate of publication is slightly depressing.

Human infiltrators into telepathic societies would be detected precisely because of their innate telepathy blocker, even if they were in blueface.

I think the implication would be that they can freely lie, cheat, etc. without being ousted as such.
Though, that's not actually infiltration, more like diplomatic sabotage sort of thing.

That wouldn't benefit the Umiak for obvious reasons, but they could use more client race worlds as industrial bases.

New to the series, how the hell do you have that much info? Insider lore?
Also check the forums since the author posts info dumps there as well

If I remember, Arioch first said that humanity's quick advancement relative to the established races would give them an edge, but eventually retconned that. Is there anything else in Earth's corner or is it just 'wait and see'?

It's still that, but scaled back to less cringy HFY levels. Humaniti will help the Loroi get over their weird hangups about social cliques even unto R&D. Also it's unimportant in the long run since the story itself is only concerned with boy meets cute aliens.
