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 think it was Vagel He had introduced them to Carrier Pigeons, IIRC...

I enjoyed your story, IrrationalSanity. Was Terisa augered? "Therefore"--Master Quillon gritted his teeth to keep from shouting--"King Joyse set himself to save the world. "His weakness is an ambush. He lures the enemy to strike here rather than elsewhere--to inflict their peril...

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

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 ever, your quote selection and analysis is thought provoking and on target!

Correct! Your question...

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.

What about the Gross Domestic Product?

Does StevieG have any ideas?

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.

So, I've got nothing besides the snarky comment and the badge. At this point, I'm not sure what else you're looking for...

StevieG wrote:You're right IS

So what was it that Hashi brought Brandich to account?

I thought you wanted the response. However, are you looking for the bit about the security badge?

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."

Your image doesn't exist...


... well, it didn't when I posted. Looks like it is there now.

Yes, but events in the Land always managed to return him to his original state prior to his return, so the test was neutralized. If I remember correctly, that proof actually came into play in the 2nd chronicles with Linden. [spoiler]She awoke at the end of WGW with the Ring in her hand - which (if I...
