In Warden Dios' address to the UMCP academy on the occasion of their first assignment, he says:
"You've spent many hundreds of hours in classrooms, absorbing advice, memorizing data, squinting at screens and hardcopy, being hectored by _____, _____ and ______ - in short, studying until you thought your skulls were going to crack."
What are the three missing words?

The words are Pedants,
Purists, and Philosophers;
This is a great speech!

Within the same speech
Warden compares a virus
To the Amnion
To what does he then
Equate cancer, and why are
They not vice-versa?

He equates cancer to pirates? Then something about cancer being "wrong". The virus (Amnion) can have an antidote to get rid of it, but the cancer's treatment could attack you and do more damage...
Or something like that?

You got it, Stevie
Considering I messed up
About Warden's speech
In actual text
Amnion and Piracy
Not so different
But you are correct
Warden doesn't want the cure
Worse than the disease
Much in the Gap tale
Parallels present-day themes
Kudos, SRD!

Ok, when Marc Vestibule and Nick Succorso were negotiating on Billingate, what did Vestibule want, and what did Nick threaten, in order to buy some time?

I think Vestabule wanted Nick to deliver Morn and Davies, and Nik threatened to tell the Bill that mutagen immunity pills existed.

When Angus is trying to get permission from Billingate to dock Trumpet there, Billingate's Operations commander asks Angus what he is selling. What does Angus answer to that?

He's not selling anything
He gave a big story about him and Milos running away from the UMCP, and so isn't selling anything, just running away.
