Pop Quiz: Darlan

Fort Paradox Pop Quiz: Darlan

Q: Describe yourself in five words?
Darlan: Inventor, Entrepreneur, Mechanic, Philanthropist, Green.

Q: What's your favourite colour?
Darlan: #00ff22 green, as that's the colour of the drill beam from the XGT47, one of my favourite XGT units.  #77dddd cyan is also very pretty, but I haven't thought of anything to make with it yet...

Q: Favourite number?
Darlan: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582097494459230781640628620899862803482534211706798214808651328230664709384460955058223172535940812848111745028410270193852110555964462294895493038196442881097566593344612847564823378678316527120190914564856692346034861045432664821339360726024914127372458700660631558817488152092096282925409171536436789259036001133053054882046652138414695194151160943305727036575959195309218611738193261179310511854807446237996274956735188575272489122793818301194912.  Because Pi to 500 decimal places is really useful.  And fun.  And Ernie now owes me £10.

Q: What do you miss most from your life before Fort Paradox?
Darlan: Very little, right now.  I'm having too much fun at the moment to worry about home, and I'm sure it's not permanent.

Q: What do you enjoy most about life on board Fort Paradox?
Darlan: EVERYTHING!!!!!

Q: What would your perfect day be like?
Darlan: Ooh… Something interesting, but unexpected happening.  And fireworks.

Q: Where would you most like to visit?
Darlan: The Forsen Technologies production centre.  I've been there once or twice before, but I generally don't seem to be able to get beyond the boardroom.

Q: And finally: Have you ever invented something genuinely safe?
Darlan: Yes.  Once I invented a nuclear reactor that ran on nothing but salt.  I think it was very safe, because when it blew up, there was no messy radioactive waste polluting the environment.  Just nice safe antimatter.
