Hey now, one question at a time! :evil: :P

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?

Nicks Middle Name

Post by DirectorDios »

Okay...I've been away for a while, it seems that the impossible question has been asked!
Okay "TheWormoftheWorld'sEnd" I think you need to give up the booty...er uh, something like that.
If you HAVE the answer I think we'll all admit to being stumped.

Sorus was correct, the answer is "Fred."

What does Morn say that gives away the fact that a rescue attempt is being planned to get Dios back from the Amnioni?

Morn admits to Dios--within the hearing of Marc Vestabule--that Dios' last words to Angus have triggered a reaction resembling madness. Vestabule is immediately suspicious that treachery will occur.

[quote="In the fifth chapter entitled "Warden" in TDAGMD was"]"Director Dios, this is Morn Hyland."

The sound was almost frighteningly clean, immediate.
Calm Horizons' equipment filtered out Punisher's thrust distortion with preternatural ease. Morn might have been speaking to him from the far side of the room.

Warden took hold of the edge of the console, pulled himself closer to the pickup.

"This is Warden, Morn," Despite the potential cost of anything he said, he responded firmly. "We need to resolve this now. I can't keep Calm Horizons waiting any longer."

"I understand that, Director." Morn's calm was deeper than his: it hinted at depths he couldn't measure. "But our position hasn't changed. Vector and Davies have agreed to surrender themselves. I refuse. And Angus--"

Vestabule hardly moved. Nevertheless his posture conveyed an increased tension; a poised threat.

"Director," Morn went on as if she feared nothing the Amnioni could do, "Angus can't make this kind of choice. When you spoke to him, he collapsed. Whatever you said hit him hard. And since then he's been like a crazy man. If I begged him to do what you want, he wouldn't listen to me. If I held a gun to his head, he would probably laugh at me.
"As I've already told you"--her severity could have drawn blood--"I will not impose the decision you want on anyone. I would rather die fighting. If Angus can't choose to of his own free will, then he isn't going."

________________________

Vestabule shook his head. "You cannot control your cyborg," he stated inflexibly.
Perhaps he meant to accuse Warden of lying. Earlier Warden had said, There are codes I can use that will affect Angus. He'd deliberately misled the Amnioni. Now he had to accept the outcome.

Nevertheless he protested falsely, urgently. "Something happened when he edited his datacore." Protecting Angus as well as he could. "He made changes I don't know about. They must have corrupted parts of his programming. Are you going to throw away Davies and Vector and millions of lives over that?"
Through his teeth, he countered, "I'm not the one who taught him how to edit a SOD-CMOS chip. You are."

Again Vestabule shook his head. That motion of denial may have been the last remaining vestige of his former identity.
"There is human treachery here."[/quote]

Since that question, posed over two years ago, is the most recent post anywhere on the Watch by DirectorDios, he may or may not still be watching this thread with his prosthetic eye.

After a polite interval, go ahead and pose a new Gap question.

Thank you, Savor Dam. I'll give him a week to confirm or deny the answer. If we don't hear from him by then, I'll declare victory & ask a new question! :mrgreen:

Yes it would, Sorus! If DirectorDios comes on in the next week and says I haven't got the answer, we're still stuck. Otherwise, I promise to get this somnolent thread moving again! :yeehaa:

I think your answer is good. If DirectorDios appears to disagree, he owes a clue or two at the very least.

Well, that would be fair after stumping us all for over two years, wouldn't it? ;)

My question: What word did the Amnion of Enablement Station insist on being translated for them before they would give Nick what he wanted?
