Dammit, it's supposed to be SSA-IV!!!! That's what you get for lack of sleep..... *snore*

If someone can change the title, that would be greatly appreciated.

Assuming that it is Star Trek...

Is it bigger than a breadbox?

Yes, it is Star Trek, and yes, it is bigger than a breadbox.

Is it man made

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

With no offence toward Necromancer intended, I request that his question be ignored, as it has already been answered. It's not artifical, and can thus not be man-made.

So it's natural, and is too big to fit inside a spacedock.

Question: Is it alive?

I'm betting it's that amoeba this time. And that's not a question.

You are wise, witty, and wonderful, but you spend far too much time reading this sort of trash.

Is it psychic?
If yes - Is it Gomtuu
If NO - Disregard the Gomtuu question!

No, it's not alive, and henceforth, not psychic.

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

Naturally Luminous? As in Glowing?

I'd have to say no at this point.

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

Natural, not alive, bigger than spacedock, not a celestial object, and doesn't glow. And from modern Trek. Toughie. A natural object that isn't alive, is bigger than spacedock, and isn't a celestial object is quite difficult.

Well, it can't be a ship, since it's natural. It can't be a species, since it's not alive. That leaves anomaly. It's not luminous, so that narrows it down considerably. I'd say a quantum singularity, like in Voy "Paralax", but it's a celestial object. Can't be one in a Romulan engine core, as it's artificial, and would fit in spacedock.

The temporal Causality loop from "Cause and Effect" fits. As does that time stream from (IIRC) Voy "Non Sequitor".

Question: Does it involve time in any unusual way?

------------------
You are wise, witty, and wonderful, but you spend far too much time reading this sort of trash.

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

Nope, doesn't involve time at all.

This isn't a toughie once you figure it out.

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

Well, based on that, I might say that anti-time anomaly, but it wasn't natural, and was luminous.

No time, eh? Then it's purely spatial/sub-spatial. A spatial anomaly that doesn't give off light. Hmm...

You're good at this.

*thinks REALLY hard*

There was that invisible wormhole in "Counterpoint".

Question: does it involve transit over large distances?

------------------
You are wise, witty, and wonderful, but you spend far too much time reading this sort of trash.

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

Ah-HA!

There's also the null space in that TNG ep with the androgenous species. I knew there was something I was missing. Not that that's a guess, mind you. Just typing out loud...

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

It was an interspatial flecture in "Counterpoint".

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

No, it does not involve travel over long distances.

9 Questions left.

I'm not good, Omega. I just chose something that, well, it appears that none of you know about it.

Is it solid?

I bet when Neanderthal kids would make a snowman, someone would
always end up saying "Don't forget the big heavy eyebrows." Then they would all get embarrassed because they remembered they had the big hunky eyebrows too, and then they would get mad and eat the snowman.

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

No, it isn't solid.

7 Questions. Clue at 5.

Move along, nothing to see here..

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

Tykon's Rift also comes to mind.

OK, so it's not a wormhole or similar phenomenon.

Question: did the E-D encounter this object?

------------------
You are wise, witty, and wonderful, but you spend far too much time reading this sort of trash.

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

Yes, it was the E-D that encountered this object.

Six questions left. I've decided to rescind the clue. Sorry.

Posted by Fabrux (Member # 71) on :

Is it Tyken's Rift?

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

Yep, that's right. Tyken's Rift. Anomaly, Invisible, non-luminous, and sucks the energy right out of ya. Though I think Omega should deserve honours for this one as well, he's the one who originally thought of it.

Now, that wasn't too hard, wasn't it?

Indeed. Omega's the winner. Although, if he can't post often enough to do this, then I suppose I could handle it...

Be my guest, Fab. I prefer playing.
