Talk:Biko

I have reinserted the factoid about Steve Biko that was deleted earlier. While there is no concrete proof of it, the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. The planet's main population center is called Durban -- the name of South Africa's largest city -- and the planet itself has the same name as one of South Africa's most prominent statesmen. The connection is obvious; it would be like having a planet called Ghandi whose capital city is called New Delhi. You don't need a book citation to see that. --Jordan117 08:27, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Actual distances, Another Interpretation

There's a line in Tug O' War that "Biko is located roughly twenty-four light-years from Cygnus and it's about fifty-eight light-years from Tribute." I'm going to suggest that there's a strong emphasis on the word "it's" in that sentence indicating that the object of the sentence, formerly Biko, has now changed to Cygnus. I'm suggesting this because of the line which follows. The next sentence mentions the trip is intended to be "point to point" which to me is implying a trip is Biko to Cygnus to Tribute; point to point. How I interpret that is: Biko to Cygnus is about 24 light years. Cygnus to Tribute is a further 58 light years. So I'm suggesting it be read as "Biko is located roughly twenty-four light-years from Cygnus and it's [Cygnus] about fifty-eight light-years from Tribute." Anyone agree or disagree with my supposition? Did I miss interpreting something in the story? -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 22:54, 6 March 2015 (EST)

I agree. This sounds more likely. - NightHammer (talk) 09:28, 7 March 2015 (EST)
