Okay. Here's another installment of SSA. This installment of the game includes a revision of the rules. Species, Starship, or Anomaly is the title of the game, however the object to be guessed doesn't have to be a species, starship, or anomaly. Under the species category, you can have a specific person. Under the starship category you can have anything man made, as well. Under the anomaly category, you can have anything in space. Along with these additional rules, the questions go up. You can now ask 25 questions.

Ask away!

With the specific person thing, it's possible it could turn out to be rather like Tahna's game.

That kills starship.

Question: Is it alive?

It doesn't necessary kill the starship category. Gomtuu is a natural starship. But that's about it.

[Elim: Thank you for pointing out the obvious. Tahna already talked to me about that.]

No, it is not alive.

OK, natural, but not alive. That pretty much definitely means anomaly.

Question: does this SSA give off light visible to the unaided human eye?

Omega: See revised rules above

You'll have to elaborate on that question.

Could it fit in The Spacedock from the TOS movies? (a fave question )

I did look. I don't see how any of that prohibits telling me whether it emits visible spectrum EM radiation or not.

No, it can not fit inside the spacedock.

22 questions remaining

Omega: I was referring to your comment that it had to be an anomaly.

Well, actually... Anything under the species category would be alive, so that's ruled out. Most stuff under the starship category would be artificial. The few that are natural (actually, the only one we know of is Gomtuu) are alive. So, that does only leave anomalies.

And aren't you going to answer as to whether or not it generates visible light?

Not everything that falls under the category of species would be alive. As "species" now includes individuals it could be a dead individual (or even an extinct species, I guess). A better question would be "is it now, or has it ever been alive". So I'd say that the species category is still open.

Okay. Omega said it had to be an anomaly. That's not true. It may be in the anomaly category, but it doesn't have to be an anomaly.

And as I said, that question will have to be elaborated on.
