mmm.. hahaha well the fuel cells arent miniaturised lol

Maybe my inability to use punctuation is a pain

The SSOD CMOS chips probably arent miniaturised

"Fuel cells" is the correct answer, Skyweir! Well done!

You get to choose the next question to ask!

Ok I am not as quick off the mark as many of you

List some of the ways the Gap Series aligns with Wagners Der Ring Des Nibelungen. If you wish provide you may expand your reasoning but thats completely up to you. Let the games begin.

Maybe this is too easy

Hmmm...at the moment, all I can think of is that Warden is based on Wotan. I'll try to give this more thought!

Ok list at least 3 similarities

Post by **Skyweir** » Mon Jan 08, 2018 7:47 am

Or two if threes too hard but there are many overlaps

Okay, I know the dwarfs of the Ring cycle have their counterpart in the Amnion of the Gap.

And Sieglund and Siegmund are counterparts to Morn and Angus (which I guess makes young Davies the counterpart to Siegfried).

Ok snaps for you

A quick game is a good game

Thanks, Skyweir! I'm still loving it that we're keeping this thread going!

New question: Orn Vorbuld told Morn that he put a virus in Captain's Fancy's computers the day he came aboard. How did he do that, exactly (what did he use)?

Post by **Skyweir** » Thu Jan 11, 2018 7:33 am

Oooh you cheeky monkey

He hard wired into the computer

Post by **Cord Hurn** » Thu Jan 11, 2018 5:48 pm

That's true, Skyweir, but what did he use to introduce his virus into the computer system?

Post by **Avatar** » Fri Jan 12, 2018 4:33 am

A pre-"printed" computer board. He just swapped out the existing one with one with the virus.

You're definitely getting close, Avatar! These are things Orn brought aboard Captain's Fancy, modified to suit his purpose, that affect how the various ship computer systems communicate with each other. I'm looking for the name of what these particular kind of "computer boards" are called in the Gap Cycle.

LOL

.. this is a tricky one .. now ... mmm..

"You're a cheeky monkey!" Yes, I am, Sky!

But sometimes life's more fun that way!

And I'm still holding out for the right answer, though I admitted that Av is close and the devices that Orn installed were hardwired into the system, as you said. I just need the name of what he used.

Two hints, though:
1) The answer is in the plural.
2) What Orn used affected how the various computer systems of Captain's Fancy "talked" to each other.

He affected the data core .. arrgghh
