**40) You point your S.E.E.S.-issue gun to your own head and pull the trigger. What happens?** Your Persona emerges. (and it’s an Evoker, not a gun /nitpick) **43) How do Immortals learn?** From skill linking with mortals of course! ---

[QUOTE=Really Not All That Bright] I don’t know if this is the extra credit one or the fourth actual one, but the dog’s name was supposed to be _Roll_. (Megaman was Rock, dog was Roll, rock and roll, geddit?) [/QUOTE] Roll is Megaman’s sister. I leave it to the reader to decide if she’s a dog or not. 😃 **dotchan** got three: Rush (the dog), Beat (the bird), Treble (Bass’s wolf). **Leaper** got Tango (the cat). The extra credit animal is still up in the air. ---

[/QUOTE] Gospel is Treble’s Japanese name (in the US it’s Bass & Treble, in Japan it’s Forte & Gospel. I prefer the US names, personally). Reggae’s who I was thinking of. He shows up in a couple of spin-off Japanese games, but his only appearance in the series itself is in Mega Man 7 as an image on the password screen. ---

Sorry, that’s probably _too_ vague. Which _non-Star Wars character_ makes a cameo in the Dark Forces series? (Also, on further checking, this character shows up in quite a few Star Wars games, not just that series.) ---

1. General/Admiral Crix Madine in _Rogue Squadron_. Or Zaletta from X-Wing Alliance. Also, Admirals Cobbel, Cess, Needa and Teradoc (jr). 2. They get stabbed in the back with a bigass sword. 3. Well, at least you’re ho-- I can’t do it. Holy. Holey. GEDDIT? Gah. Worms. 4. Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-B-A! Man, that was awesome. ---

> [@Number](#): > > 1. How do you make a piece of armor rustproof or fireproof without repairing any existing damage on it? Oooo, going off the top of my head (on the assumption that it’s cheating to look it up), I’d say you smear it with a can of grease. ---

[QUOTE=Johnny Angel] Oooo, going off the top of my head (on the assumption that it’s cheating to look it up), I’d say you smear it with a can of grease. [/QUOTE] That isn’t a bad answer, but not what I was going for. While grease provides a temporary barrier against rust, it doesn’t make the object permanently rustproof. It also doesn’t do anything against fire. You have the right game at least. ---

> [@Number](#): > > While grease provides a temporary barrier against rust, it doesn’t make the object permanently rustproof. It also doesn’t do anything against fire. Then my best guess would be reading a cursed scroll of destroy armor, though I suspect this may repair armor as well. ---

[QUOTE=bouv] Yeah, it’s not right (besides, that was from a movie, not one of the video games.) Here’s a hint: It’s from the game TIE Fighter. [/QUOTE] Weren’t there two in that game? The first is captured and force choked by Vader, the second killed when his corvette blows up in hyperspace.
