0 plasmid Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Teeth or a tooth? There are a few clues that would fit much better with the answer I have in mind, specifically in the fourth and sixth lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plasmid Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 a hockey goalkeeper? Not that. I can see how it would have three sabers, but not two to a scabbard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Shakeepuddn Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Having served in the Navy, it would seem like (though likely not) a CIWS (phalanx) anti-missile weapon system. Check it out on the internet and you'll see what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plasmid Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 ...a knee. This fits a lot better.. Molly gets this one. Hopefully the clues about three sabers with two to a scabbard, unhesitating retaliation, hinging, and the tethers all make perfect sense.

Oh, it all made sense as soon as it popped into that little mind of mine. So much sense, in fact, that I can't believe I didn't see it sooner. =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
