Haha, now you've forced me into the invidious position of having asked a question I don't know the answer to...

...I don't think you're allowed to recuse yourself. I think you're obligated to answer it, and ask another question...

--A

I figured anyone could have guessed the correct answer from the hints I dropped. It isn't like you need a magnifying glass to see them...
(oh, darn, there I go with another one...)

Maybe I should just leave you a calling card and disappear.

All I remember is there was a printout.

--A

The big print on the back, that everyone reads:



The "hidden code" is on the front, in "plain sight", but not noticed by the casual observer...



Here's a link to a more readable version...

Congratulations. You're right.

Your question.

--A

In any case, I seem to recall the description of the page as having the computer codes around the edges in a fashion similar to the card in The Santa Clause.

When Angus wanted to demonstrate his freedom from control, he shot Min. Where did he shoot her, and why there?

Angus shot Min in the palm of her hand, and I think he did it because it would heal easily and not be debilitating.

Close enough (not the deeper "why" I was looking for, but it meets the letter of the question). Your turn!

Oh, okay, the "why" was to prove that Warden had granted him the ability to harm UMCP personnel by telling him the word, "vasectomy".

I'll work on coming up with a question, now...

What was Godsen Frik's last order (so far as we readers know, anyway), and to whom did he give this order?

Give us a clue?

--A

Okay, SURE... ...it was right after Holt talked to Godsen, and insisted that Godsen head immediately to UMCHO to meet with him.

Another hint: after Holt insists that Godsen leave his office within ten minutes to travel to UMCHO, Godsen crumples up the hardcopy of Warden's orders to remain within UMCPHQ before making the decision for his final order.

Urgh...I remember all that...but not his order. Uh...somebody to send a message to Warden?

--A

He ordered that a copy of the conversation he had just had with Holt Fasner be put on Warden Dios' desk. He asked his secretary to organise this...

StevieG wrote:He ordered that a copy of the conversation he had just had with Holt Fasner be put on Warden Dios' desk. He asked his secretary to organise this...

BINGO, StevieG! He ordered his secretary to flare it so that Warden would know as soon as possible what was said by Holt.

Your question!

I just read that part of the story in my grand re-read!

Following on from that (because I just read it )...

How many people were involved with Morn's rescue from the Amnion sector at Billingate? And, who were they?

Uh...Nick, Angus, Davies, Mikka, Ciro, Vector? 6?

--A

Very close! But not correct!

No Vector? 5?
