Dear Mr. Weisman,
I'll skip the standard "I love the series/It's the best thing ever/you
are God" introduction, because, although I certainly feel that way, I'm
sure you get hundreds of these things that have probably said it better than I
can. Anyway, on to the questions. I've got A LOT of them, so instead of
driving you up the wall by sending them at once, I'll be splitting them up
into smaller groups.

1) I've just spent about three days reading everything in the archive,
questions asked, and your latest responses, and a lot of the questions
seem to be on the topic of Demona's childbearing abilities. Stay with me
here, I think this is a new one. If gargoyles are only able to lay one egg
every 20 years (and you've already said that Demona could conceive in either
form), what are the specifics of this? I mean, could she lay an egg and then
get pregnant as a human in less than 20 years? Feel free not to answer
this if you think you've covered it enough before.

2) A question about the Pack: After "Upgrade," how did they get out of
prison? All of the ones arrested showed up in the world tour. Did
Xanatos bail them out of prison in return for their services (Jackal, Hyena, &
Wolf in Egypt and Dingo in Australia)?

3) About Mr. X's exoframes: I've noticed that his light exoframe ("Eye
of the Beholder"/"Double Jeopardy") bears a resemblance to the Steel
Clan-esque crimson one, especially in the hands and rocket pack area. Was this
just a result of similar art concepts, or is the big suit "assembled" onto
the light one (i.e. clip-on armor)?

Thanks in advance for answering these. There will definitely be more.
:-)

1. I don't know the answer to that for sure. I don't ever know
'til I set a story in stone, so to speak. But frankly, it's a moot
hypothetical. Demona doesn't give herself lightly. And I think she's
smart enough, even as a human, to use birth control, if for some reason
she decides to have sex.

2. He must have busted them out of prison. Again.
