Terisa is really feeling that a predestined meeting, a prophesied and pivotal moment, is about to happen, and She tells Geraden to quickly get the Tor and Prince Kragen, Master Barsonage overhears that and sends Imagers to get them, and someone calls for Castellan Norge. All the nearby guards feel a...

On the current reread, I'm slowly working my way to the climactic parts of the story. I like when Terisa realizes her dream scenario, the augry of the three riders, is about to happen , and she gets the camp to be on defense quickly in case of attack. As she and the Masters finished translating the ...

Great question, Sanity! I recall it involves never telling somebody about what it's like to see the ghouls feed and die.

Coming back outside from Esmerel, the Tor, Prince Kragen, Terisa, Geraden, Barsonage, and Norge encounter snowfall so thick that it's hard to see through more than an arm's-length away. Norge suggests to Kragen that they find their encampments immediately. Kragen says he'll string lines through the ...

Great to see you again, samrw3!
(Also looking forward to IrrationalSanity's question!)

In the cellars, they find the corpses of the Perdon's men, many of them arranged in dance and sexually suggestive poses, and the leaders of Mordant and Alend, led by the Tor, discover the fate of the Perdon. It turns out the Perdon's final living moments were comprised of bleeding to death and choki...

Terisa remarks that the smells of blood and old rot weren't present when she was there four days ago talking with Nyle. At the mention of Nyle's name, Geraden surges towards Esmerel's front door. The Tor has to bellow an order at Geraden to make him back himself away from the door. Geraden complies ...

Ok, so maybe it was for accidents in space where they could find out what happened, like airplane flight recorders? :dance: :cheers: :yeehaa: :letsparty: :ct19: :ct16: :ct03: :ct12: :bounce03: :R :S :letsparty: :nanaparty: THAT'S IT!

My first guess: to keep a record of potential criminal activity?

An impressive first guess!
Eventually that became the rationalization, but it was not the original justification for requiring datacores in spaceships.

So, sorry, but no.

New question:


What was the original rationalization for datacores being required in all human spaceships?

Thank you, StevieG! Hope to be back with a Gap Quiz question very shortly.

Hint: Geraden's concern had to do with his appearance.

Welcome, tlaloc and Kenny! I enjoyed the Last Chronicles a lot, particularly the second book Fatal Revenent. .ay you enjoy your journey through the earlier Chronicles once more! I need to reread all ten books myself, something I haven't done since the year 2017.

StevieG wrote: ↑ Matter and Energy are correct! The other two words are not

Okay then I will now guess that "quantum physics" goes in the first two blanks.

StevieG wrote: ↑ Fill in the gaps:

“Matter cannon were developed by the application of _____ ______ to the relationship between ______ and ______.”

My guesses: "gap mechanics", "matter, and "energy".

No, Geraden's stated worry about appearing before the Alend Monarch wasn't about that.
