Cap'n Slow is... no, that makes sense given the material we see in Road Film (with fighting)

And now, we see the real reason the 'Autobahn' was included in the DSM project, even if no one else did(then)

He'd really work better as a RA, though... just sort of wandering the halls and managing to put a kibosh on whatever just by happening to being in the right place at the right time. cause, IMO, TA's need to interact with the students... talk to them about what their doing wrong and ya know... answer questions?

Actually, all the Stars-in-Reasonably-priced-cars who've ever brought him up have had nothing but glowing praise for his instructional abilities. Only one, however, hinted that he actually *spoke* when doing said instructing. :)

Oh yes.

Having his hands folded and a blank helmet staring at you until you concede IS a form of interacting. :D

(Looking for witty statement, if found please return to this post.)

Well, he's the only one who makes a point of it, anyway.

In order:

CKE - Companion of the Order of Knights Eternal: the Zetan honor that carries with it the Omega-2 retroviral treatment. (See also Virginia Shepard's BPGD entry.)

KCVO - Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order: bestowed upon those who have rendered a significant personal service for the British Crown.

GC - George Cross: the UK's highest decoration for out-of-combat valor.

TCBC - Targ's Claw with Blood Crescent: a Klingon military decoration roughly akin to the Distinguished Service Cross. (The Blood Crescent is a modifier to the award meaning, basically, "only more so.") Utena Tenjou has one of these for the Valiant's capture of the Amar.

So you were two for four. :)

Is there more than one level of honour in the Order of Knights Eternal, or are they all just 'Companions'?

The vast majority of them are, as that's the basic level of membership. (There aren't "sub-knighthood" levels in the OKE, since, well, given the order's name that wouldn't make a ton of sense.) There's also LKE (Lieutenant of the Order of Knights Eternal), which is mainly the preserve of the early Wedge Defenders who received Omega-2 before the Order was created (the so-called Original Hundred, though there were actually only around 77 of them), and GCKE, Grand Cross of the Order of Knights Eternal, of which there are seven in 2410: Gryphon, Zoner, ReRob, Kei (we hope), Yuri, Field Marshal Dave Ritchie (Supreme Commander WDF), and Grand Admiral Noriko Rose Takaya (C in C WDF Navy). In practice there is little difference between the three grades apart from how elaborate the dress-uniform sash is.

Above them there's only the order's "sovereign", Baron von Fahrvergnügen, who remains the nominal, if not practical, head of state of the Republic of Zeta Cygni. As he hasn't been seen in years, in practice most of the job of running the order falls to Daver and Noriko. And it must be admitted that there isn't really much to that, as there aren't dues or functions associated with it. It's not like an alumni association, there aren't picnics or fundraising drives. :)

It's a common misconception that one has to be a member of the Wedge Defense Force in order to be inducted into the Order of Knights Eternal. This is not actually true, but it does improve one's odds considerably.

Mmm. I seem to remember a certain Nakajima in the CFMF being quite excited about gaining Eternal Knighthood after Second Zeta Cygni (just before she found out she was going to be a PE teacher for a while, IIRC), so I kind of suspected that.

I will not be surprised if Utena (among others) gets into the OKE at some point. I'm not entirely certain she'd need it, though.
