>I've got a few questions for you, Redneck!
>
>First off, A couple of Real Life questions:
>
>1.At Project A-Kon, I heard that a reader of Undocumented Features
>came up to you and asked for your autograph. How did it feel being
>recognized as a writer in this aspect

Familiar, although it was the first time I've been asked for an autograph because of UF stuff.

I get a -lot- of recognition, especially on alt.fan.bgcrisis.

>and are you wondering what kind
>of insanities you've helped to unleash upon the world of fanfics now?

Not really. I've had to abandon a couple of non-UF fic ideas because other people beat me to some of their basic concepts.

>2. Would you be willing to work with people that are not members of
>Eyrie Productions on a fanfic?

Yes, but I'd be picky.

>Now, onto the questions:
>
>1. How many ships of the CFMF are based on actual Sci-Fi ships and if
>so, can you give three ships from three series? (For instance, is a
>Liberator-class Guncrusier a Defieant-class Escort/Light Destroyer
>from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine?)

The following ships are based of paper spaceships I learned how to make in junior high; the Plymouth-I, -II, -III, and -IV class, the Broadway class, the Camelot class, the Albatross class, the Emperor class, the Liberator class, the Charlemagne class, and the Johnston class.

None of the CFMF ships above starfighter level which have appeared 'on-screen' are based on any prior sources.

>2. Could you explain how Zatharas got into Washuu-chan's lab and what
>his duties are there?

Sometime about four or five thousand years ago, Zathras answered an advertisement asking for a student-assistant. He's been in the Lab ever since, and his duties are basic maintenance, occasional food service, and whatever Washuu tells him to do.

>3. For Wahsuu: Which one do you like of Ben and Jerry's-Cherry Gracia
>or Phish Food?

Cherry Garcia matches her crab-motif better.

>4. How does/did Redneck feel about the situation after the Third World
>War, I mean his true feelings as a person and not Redneck the WDF
>Cadet turned CFMF Leader turned Smuggler/Jedi Padawan.

You can't separate the lot.

Both the Third and Fourth World Wars happened while the Redneck was on his Sabbatical, and thus he filed it mentally with all the other catastrophic changes he came home to.

>5. Is Redneck still in his Padawan stages or has he made Knight yet?

Very difficult to say. Redneck keeps in practice and continues his training by himself, screening very carefully the existing records for the tiny fragments of true Jedi teachines. OTOH, it's not a high priority, and although Redneck will occasionally profess his religion as Jedi, he claims no -current- rank in the Order, not even the status of Padawan. "I was once a Jedi Padawan" is as close as he'll come.

>6. What are the names of the WDF/Genom Ships that were given to the
>CFMF at the end of Wilderness?

Imperial-class Star Destroyer CFMF Chimera
Victory-class Star Destroyers CFMF Foehammer, Thundercloud, Arquebus
Yamato-class Battleship CFMF Shenandoah
Ikazuchi-class Carriers CFMF Reconquista, Perseverance, Retribution, Iron Fist,
Interdictor-class Heavy Cruiser CFMF Untouchable
Constitution-class Heavy Cruisers CFMF Ranger, Seraphis
Miranada-class Light Cruisers CFMF Decartes, John Locke, Patrick Henry, Jefferson

Most of these ships were not officially commissioned into the CFMF for years afterwards; they were treated as ships-under-construction pressed into emergency service, and were only commissioned once all systems were refitted for CFMF equipment and the ship's crew was brought up to full compliment. CFMF Chimera was the main exception, as it became the temporary home of the CFMF's officer academy while its massive refit was conducted. The last ship of the Gift Fleet to be entered into the fleet registry was the Arquebus, CFF-212, in 2395.

>7. Does Little Joe and General Taygril (of Genom and creator of the
>TIE Project) go out on a date after the end of Twlight?

No. Little Joe is 25, Tangril in her late eighties (vigorous middle age). There's a vast gulf between them.

>8. What ever happened to RebelTech?

Still the Freespacer nation's single largest employer.

>9. Is Redneck and Washuu members of the Experts of Justice?

No; as of 2405, both are retired in order to raise a family. Redneck is working as a test pilot, and Washuu is teaching at the New Avalon Institute of Science.
