Wow, that's the clue I was looking for! The made-up word Stephen Donaldson used to describe Hashi is a-honest.

You got it!!

I read that chapter and have no recollection of SRD ever describing Hashi that way. But it does make some sense!

Over to you CH

My thanks, StevieG!

New question: What is the name of the human space station in the galaxy that is farthest away from the forbidden space of the Amnion?

Post by **Avatar** » Mon Mar 16, 2020 6:46 am

Is that in the Massif-5 system where Punisher came from?

--A

No, although the Massif-5 system is said to be in the part of the galaxy that is far from forbidden space. This space station is mentioned in the Gap but never visited by readers.

I suppose it's time for a hint, here: the name of the space station reflects that it's an endpoint for human outposts in that direction of the galaxy.

I should know this! I'm still at work, for now, but when the inevitable happens and I am stuck at home, I'm sure it will come to me (with a little research!)

I have faith that you will get the answer, StevieG.

Orion's Reach?

No, sorry. Here's another hint: this human space station on the opposite side of the galaxy from forbidden space is also the port of registry for Sorus Chatelaine's ship Soar.

Ok, I'm in wild guess territory now

Valdor Industrial?

Nah, that was what I was going for with my question about the Massif-5 system.

Terminus? Just plucking now...

Well, then, you're a precision plucker, StevieG, because THAT'S THE ANSWER! WAY TO GO!!

It's your Gap Quiz question, StevieG, and congratulations for solving a hard one!!

Post by **StevieG** » Wed Apr 01, 2020 2:40 am

Haha, well that was a surprise - looks like I'm a pleasant plucker after all

I'll be back with a question soon.

Post by **Avatar** » Wed Apr 01, 2020 6:02 am

Haha, damn, that was a planet in Heinleins Friday I think...also the furthest human habitation.

--A

Post by **StevieG** » Thu Apr 02, 2020 6:02 am

Ok, on top of Valdor Industrial, Terminus, and Orion's Reach, can you name another 3 space stations?

Post by **Avatar** » Thu Apr 02, 2020 6:57 am

Uh...Billingsgate, Enablement and Com-Mine?

--A

Post by **StevieG** » Fri Apr 03, 2020 1:24 am

You're probably right

I found a passage that listed each space station outside the Earth's solar system: Valdor Industrial, Sagittarius Unlimited, Com-Mine, Terminus, Betelgeuse Primary, SpaceLab Annexe, New Outreach, Aleph Green and Orion's Reach.

Over to you Av

I guess those would all be GCSE (or whatever) stations.

Ok, if you insist...

What did Nick use to try and breach Sorus' ship, and how did she try and stop him?
