Gap Quiz

No, Nick never came onboard the original Captain's Fancy prior to Sorus taking it...but he was aware of, nay obsessed with, this craft. How he came to be so, and what he did about it are tied into themes we see elsewhere in the Gap stories. You don't have to hit all the notes, but I do think more of...

Gap Quiz

Looks like a hint is called for: Once, when he was barely a man in years, and no more than a boy in experience, he'd been bested by a woman. And she beat him, cheated him, ruined his dreams, she sneered at him. His scars were the marks of her contempt, the visible sign that she hadn't considered him...

That isn't wrong but also isn't enough of Nick's origin story. There are some themes here that SRD uses in other aspects of the Gap character arcs.

Happy Independence Day!!

I see no issues with a UFC match. Promoting a sport match on the White House grounds is as unprecedented as promoting a commercial brand of vehicles from the driveway of those grounds. The latter has occurred...but that association seems rather more strained now than at the time of the event. Apart...

Gap Quiz

We know Nick's great obsession is revenge upon Sorus, the woman who scorned and scarred him. What was his backstory prior to meeting her and how did they come to be acquainted?

ABCs of Tank Withdrawal Syndrome (TWS)

Xenodochial should be our approach to those who don't frequent this forum. To follow that path is both appropriate to this venue and a positive example to those whose usual haunts can be sparing on such hospitality.

ABCs of Tank Withdrawal Syndrome (TWS)

Verily, some posters who normally are seldom seen outside GCES will venture out into other fora during a hiatus. Welcome to the broader Watch!

Thanks! I rather thought this alphabetical sequence had potential for the sort of mod notice-and-response that has occurred. Your kind words elsewhere are appreciated!

Restive, since not only is the Tank long-gone, but the successor GCES forum (Global Council for Earth and Space) is also on hiatus. Amazing how little Watch traffic there is without these contentious fora!

True. Since the Watch migrated to a new platform, even Cord Hurn's links to the Laborium are broken.

Correct, CH. You actually asked about this in this thread about a decade ago. As a child, Angus was arrested--for stealing food, a fact that has since incorporated itself fully into his dislike for the establishment--and sent to a reform school. His digression here is revealing--"Angus had no w...

Normally, I used the question I answer as inspiration for what I ask next. Since stories of Koina and of Lane are well-mined territory, going in a different direction.

In his youth, Angus did a stint in a reform school. Who was his roommate and what became of this person?

Koina
(not sure I have that spelled right; books not at hand. The successor to the ambitious Protocol Director who got blown up by a kazi when he followed Warden's orders, rather than the Dragon's. Probably the least conflicted female character SRD ever wrote...other than Alishah Hardaway!)

That's a shame. You were a prolific contributor...enough so that I don't have the moxie (pun intended) to track down what caused you to leave...but I expect that it was the Decline and Fall fora, the parallel groups to what are the GCES (nee Tank) here.

Yes. Among other occasions, Mhoram utters that phrase when his Ranyhyn answers his call during the battle at Revelstone: "Hail, Drinny, proud Ranyhyn! Oh, bravely done! Worthy son of a worthy mother. Tail of the Sky, Mane of the World, I am" - a clench of emotion caught his throat, and he ...
