* DrinkingGame: Wormold challenges Captain Segura to a game of checkers, where each piece is a mini/sampler bottle of whisky, which Wormold has been collecting for some time. (Wormold plays the Scotches, Segura the bourbons.) When you capture a piece, you have to drink it. This makes for some interesting changes in the usual strategies, [[spoiler:which Captain Segura doesn't realize until far too late]].

The fact that no experts can make sense of the schematics provided (lifted from vacuum schematics), and that no other intelligence agency seems to know about them, is taken as proof that they are both legitimate and representative of some new weapon system.
