Thoughts...

The cheek wound is excellent, but realize it is nearly impossible to have a cheek flapping in the wind without cutting a branch of the facial nerve, which will make it impossible to either puff his cheek or smile on that side of his face.

And yes, I think there needs to be more detail about the duel.

I'm thinking he is going to Tesla the grid and drop NYC into the dark ages.

Consifering the call would come from Canada, I'm sure he would understand and build wall on the other side of the country. The Great Wall of the US.

Wisewatch.

Try spelling it lenz. Makes it more brand name.

I like the reference that you provided to Janet. Good pics.

Got it. You aren't alone in wanting more details. I got the medsage

Maybe to churn out more material, you need to take more showers...

OK, that's funny.

Fine. Not going to let me change the plot again:-)

If the information is accurate, then you've eliminated the 'machine error' option. That leaves a few possibilities.

What you have to help me with is whether or not a real miracle occurs. If it is a miracle, then you don't need to think about how they evaded death. A miracle occurred. Done.

Or think of this like a wild card. Or a magic trick. The kids are alive because something changed a variable that the computer assumes is constant.

1) Amount of air (something supplements the oxygen...a breached O2 tank. Or a storage bin that opens because the loss of pressure makes the seal crack. Or a chemical reaction that releases O2.
2) amount and rate of pressure loss. Perhaps the cabin is larger than calculated because there is a lot of cargo that isn't inside. Maybe the hole plugs briefly with something that is sucked out into space. Maybe the pressure was greater inside the cabin than the AI knew about.
3) number of people in the room. This sounds whacky, but let's roll with it. If someone who had cyborg implants was counted as using up air and actually didn't need as much as expected, then the miracle happens because the computer didn't factor in a variable that it didn't know about.

Magic tricks work because you see a set of constants, think that your eyes can be trusted, yet there is information being withheld.

Here is the key question...What information are you going to withhold from 41st century technology?

Does the damage to the ship rupture the sewage feeds and the hole gets patched by pee or coolant that freezes on the cold side of the ship? Then the ship slowly rotates into the sun, the liquid plug evaporates and releases more air. Then goes back into shadow and plugs again? If the rescuers arrive and stabilize the rolling, they might never know the reason the kids survived. If the hole was tiny, they aren't going to go around and be all CSI on the spaceship to analyze the miracle.

You know, that isn't bad. I think I just surprised myself and thought all techie. (shakes head)  Brain freeze!

Have him go down from her attack but grab a foot or something. She goes down to and then its a wrestling match with her vulnerable and at risk.

OK, it was up on the website already. Under Mandates of Magic chapter 99 (part one) and 98 (part two)
