Gap Quiz

[Cord Hurn]

From The Real Story chapter 15:

"I'll testify for you. When you go back to Com-Mine, they'll charge you with illegal departure. I'll support you. I'm not much of a cop anymore, but I've still got my id tag. I'll tell them you left on my orders. And I'll tell them there was no supply ship. It was a hoax--that other ship set it up. I'll tell them to arrest Nick Succorso. I can't save your ship but I can save you.

You are close enough to be right, Avatar! You have command of the Gap question once more! CONGRATULATIONS! YAAAAAY!!!

(By the way, I picked up the idea for that question straight out of the Ancillary Documentation sub-forum. )

[Avatar]

Ok, what was the name of Marc Vestubale's (sp?) ship? (His original ship, not the Amnion one.)

--A

[Cord Hurn]

Viable Dreams?

[Avatar]

Too easy. (I do like the ship names for the most part in the books. )

Your turn.

--A

[Cord Hurn]

While still a prisoner of Angus in his ship Bright Beauty, Morn tries to kill herself to escape Angus' control. What method does she choose to accomplish this?

[Avatar]

Overdose? (From the med bay?)

--A

[Cord Hurn]

Overdose? (From the med bay?)

--A

Yes, she did! Can you tell me what she tried to OD on?

[Avatar]

Cat?

--A

[Cord Hurn]

Not cat. Hint: what's the substance that a lot of the poor slobs on Billingate are addicted to?

[Avatar]

Damn...I can't remember...I wanna say "nerve juice" but that doesn't feel right...

--A

[Cord Hurn]

Damn...I can't remember...I wanna say "nerve juice" but that doesn't feel right...

--A

THAT'S IT! Now, where did I put those dancing bananas?? Oh yes, HERE they are!


Thanks for persevering on this one, Av! I had faith in you!

Your question, once again!

(The Gap Quiz is sort of like a ping-pong match these days, isn't it?)

[Avatar]

Lazy buggers these other folk huh?

Ok...lemme think...

What makes Angus desperate enough to attack the mine, leading to Starmaster attacking him?

--A

[Cord Hurn]

Angus was running out of fuel?

[Avatar]

Wasn't fuel...

--A

[Cord Hurn]

Then it's probably air, then. I think his scrubbers were going bad and he needed to replace them.

[Avatar]

That's it.

Your turn.

--A

[Cord Hurn]

This is probably an easy question, but I'll try it, anyway:

When Warden goes to visit Norna, Norna reveals that Holt's thinking is distorted by something.
What does Holt have that distorts his thinking?

[Avatar]

His fear of death?

--A

[Cord Hurn]

Correct! Holt Fasner has an abnormally intense fear of death, according to his mother (who should know best, after all).

[Avatar]

Hmmm...What was the name of the yacht Holt planned on escaping in?

--A
