There's no doubt Davies is one confused kid. One of those points of confusion is his biological reaction to the sight of Morn, for which SRD has used (and I think coined) a somewhat unique description. What is it?

Re: Gap Quiz

Okay. I've thought about it some more. On the bridge of Trumpet , during radio communication with the Amnion and Warden, Angus was freed from his priority codes because of one of two words Warden said to him while the latter was captive within Calm Horizons . I seem to recall Hashi Lebwohl taught W...

I think the point of supplies is to mark the contrast between the armies, and imply without explicitly saying the miracle of supply chain that the Congery has wrought. "We have this power that no army in history has ever had!"

I'm pretty sure it is "something" Dynamics, and I want to say Synergy Dynamics (or SynDyne). But that doesn't sound quite right...

Re: Havelock's Triumph

Havelock's Triumph (The Spider and the Fly) Detail removed to ease reading... I really love this, especially how it fills in an untold story, a plot thread was left dangling, of why Havelock risked on on the chance to kill Vagel in single combat. This fantastic short story by IrrationalSanity expla...

I'm inclined to agree with Wayfriend. I wouldn't want to use the term McGuffin, as it seems disrespectful, but in practice that seems to be his purpose. People take action because of him, but he doesn't really do anything himself.

As a follow-up to dealing with the Armigite's treachery, ultimately King Joyce decided upon the worst punishment of all, which was... What?

That leaves Margonal, the current Alend ruler. (I honestly could have sworn it was Kragen, though...)

The obvious (but wrong) answer, which would get a huge buzzer on Qi, is the Armigite himself.

In actuality, it was Prince Kragen.

I thought you said my answer of "doing your job" was the correct response, which is why I'm confused. If that isn't it, I can't help at the moment. :)

I'm flying by the seat of my pants here, but I think this was one of the few times that Hashi broke into an active snarky response and said something to the effect of "I'm doing YOUR job."
