People who didn't ask a question in the last\nbatch get priority, but if we don't have \"enough\" questions I may\nthrow open the gate on a first-come-first-served basis toward the\nend.  Or maybe we'll just let a short train go out?\n\nSo far, the train has four out of fifteen:\n\n16. Kieran Mullen, re: Silk bioengineered skills.\n17. Peter Cash, re: airship incident.\n18. Paul Duggan, re: voided cross/gammadion description in detail.\n19. Robert Borski, re: etymology of Mamelta.\n\nPassengers may refine their questions or change them.  Sooner rather\nthan later increases likelihood that corrections will be in train on\ntime.\n\n=mantis="

Your call Mantis.\n\nWhat was Wolfe trying to achieve  in the Talus Factory Tour scene?  What\nessential narrative freight does it carry? It seems much ado about\nnothing--all this detailed discussion of how to make the optimum Talus and\nthe bartering about tactics, the order and price? All of which amounts to\nnothing in the greater scheme of things.What upsets Oreb so much that he\nscreams? Was it Maytera's hand being repaired, as someone suggested here?\nIt's just a puzzeling scene for me.\n\nbest\n\n\nPatrick"
