Gyndal Q

President of the United Federation of Female Freedom Fighters Ophelia Arm Local 192 from Cycle 136-149 AE, Union Leader from 150-170 AE. She was responsible for the mission that led to the reinstatement of Prime Minister Glorianna of Phoebus, thus resolving the “Phoebus Incident” of 156. Gyndal Q lost her life in the People’s Municipal Museum of Hon Ober during an exhibition entitled Onward to the Stars: 70 Centicycles of Great Feminist Art. Q had just exited the macrame wing of the museum, after viewing an installation of vulva-shaped knot-work hangings, and was making her way to the sculpture garden, when she was mistaken for one of the oversized puppets in a piece of performance art depicting valiant asteroid miners collectively working for the common good by one Syd Tapioka, member of the Guernican Art Squad. Needless to say, Syd was not a fan of puppets. She was, however, quite fond of heat-stealing nanoswarms. At the ensuing trial, Tapioka pleaded “guilty only of mistaking a person for subpar art.”

1) A small unit of currency, having exactly one fourth the worth of a standard galactic credit (see: credits, standard galactic); 2) a small, round, titanium alloy coin, bearing the letters AE and the image of an exploding planet (see: Vaikuntha), and minted shortly after the overthrow of PAHM Bajar (see: Dictator, the Dread); 3) a tiny, almost worthless amount of credit (cabbage, moolah, gelt, macoy); an amount of credit that is worth many thousands of, but never less than,  9,337 Bajar Shillings (see: Bajar Shilling).

The quasar ray, more commonly “beam,” is a coherent wave weapon, outlawed in most parts of the civilized Multiverse. Much has been said about its color. Needless to say, if you’re far enough away from a discharged quasar ray to see its color, a luminous red, you probably aren’t dead. And in this case, far enough away is very far indeed. During the later cycles of AnarchEra a dispute broke out among the literati, centered around the last two lines of Galatia 9’s poem “Georgie Porgie,” from her book Rhymes Times Nine, with the more sensible critics insisting that Georgie Porgie could not possibly have been blown away “with a quasar ray,” without it taking out his planet and half its solar system with him.
