Hi Everyone,
It is time to announce the winner of the fourth Sapien Loop Quiz for this year. I would like to begin by thanking all the participants for entering and even more so for taking the time to read my books and short stories. We had eleven participants for this contest. That’s great! It seems like every month we add at least one more participant. The quality of the responses was again excellent. Four participants managed to answer eight of nine questions correctly, and two others answered seven questions correctly. Tiebreaker rules will again determine our winner.
How to Play!
For those who did not enter, here is a quick recap of how to play. The quiz contains nine multiple-choice questions. Each question has five possible answers. The participant is required to select the correct answer from the five options. The participant who answers the most questions correctly wins the contest. If there is a tie, the participant who entered first wins. There is also a requirement for the winner to answer at least five questions correctly. This is my way of ensuring that the participants have read the book.
The prize for each contest is 30 Hive Power. The entries of the first twelve participants are upvoted.

Explanations
Question 1: This question is from Chapter 82: This chapter tells the story of Denise, David, and Hamlet. Denise is an outspoken character in Sapien Loop. However, she was not always that way. She started off as shy and quiet. Chapter 82 tells the story of how she was forced to come out of her shell.
Question 2: This question is from Chapter 90: Orcille had managed to persuade the twins to leave Pardi and join her. However, Pardi saw them leaving the apartment. The twins made up a story about going on holiday, and then they rushed out of the apartment. Pardi immediately called the building’s security to prevent them from leaving. They succeeded in doing so.
Question 3: This question is from Chapter 3 from Sapien Loop: Frozen in Time: The frozen Linap was no longer in the glass pod. He had escaped somehow. Eugene inspected the control panel and found a puncture in one of the buttons.
Question 4: This question is from Chapter 90: Pardi chased Orcille down the service stairwell. Orcille got the better of him by knocking him into a room and then locking him inside. She then shapeshifted into him. The guards were initially fooled but became suspicious when Orcille could not answer Pardi’s phone. The guard used a device to scan Orcille's face to find out that he was not Pardi.
Question 5: This question is from Chapter 3 of Sapien Loop: Frozen in Time: The puncture mark in the button was not in the photographs Denise had taken earlier. Denise was not sure if the mark was not there or if the camera had not picked the mark up. Eugene suggested she take more photographs to compare and to confirm if the puncture was new.
Question 6: This question is from Chapter 82: David loved spending time with the Sapes, but he hated it when they were slaughtered. He had become close to Sape 4891. He desperately wanted to save her. Denise suggested he could do that by buying her with his tokens. She was going to be sold at the market in three weeks’ time.
Question 7: This question is from Chapter 38. Pardi got Orcille an apartment in the Capital Region. He wanted Orcille to plan the decorating himself. They went to a website, which had tools to help them do so. When Orcille was happy, she ordered everything she needed from that website.
Question 8: This question is from the short story: At the beginning of Part One, it is stated that Cromley is a newly elected governor. He had been working closely with a journalist, Charlene, who had worked hard to promote Cromley and make him look good in interviews. Unfortunately for Cromley, Charlene was not what she seemed.
Question 9: This question is from the short story: Part Two of the story begins at the Capital Temple of the House of Divine Knowledge. The head philosophers and head theologists had summoned Governor Joshua. They were unhappy with him about a recent interview he had on a television show.
Winners
Overall, this contest had eleven participants. Four of those participants answered eight of nine questions correctly. Therefore, to determine the winner, I will use the tiebreaker rules, which state that in the event of a tie, the participant who entered first wins the quiz. Therefore, the winner of the fourth quiz is @emeka4. Congratulations on winning 30 Hive Power.
The Sapien Loop Quiz will return later this month. The quiz will follow the same format as this quiz. I recommend that you spend some time on the second book and the short stories if you want to improve your chances of winning.
The Sapien Loop Series
I am writing a trilogy of books titled Sapien Loop. The first in the series is Sapien Loop: End of an Era and the second is Sapien Loop: Frozen in Time. I published both of these books as ebooks on Amazon, and I have posted completed chapters to my @captainhive account. I anticipate publishing the third book in early 2027. I expect to title this book Sapien Loop: Worlds Collide. In 2025, I plan to write short stories about some of the characters and their adventures. I will post these to my @captainhive over the course of the year.
Brief Summary of Sapien Loop: End of an Era
This story is based on the fictional planet Sapia and its sole country, Sapey. Sapey is portrayed as a form of utopia for all its citizens. No poverty. No war. Almost no crime. Opportunities for all.
This was enough for most citizens, but not all. In one of the small regions, some of the citizens had become discontent. They felt something important was missing in their lives. Their discontent did not go unnoticed. Some of the Sapey elite wanted to weaponise this discontent to gain more power. This created more chaos than they anticipated. This led to further widespread social unrest.
On top of the chaos, ambition and greed provoked another enemy. This enemy was on a mission to settle both new and old scores.
Brief Summary of Sapien Loop: Frozen in Time
This story is based six years after the original story. The Downs Region is still suffering from a serious health crisis caused by the contaminated water. The main characters are desperately trying to find a cure for the illness that has been caused by the water.
One of the main characters has discovered frozen humanoids in hidden chambers. It appears they have been frozen for a long time. These chambers connect to a vast network of tunnels. While exploring the tunnels, one of the frozen humanoids disappears. It appears he has been stolen.
The story takes a step back in time to tell the story of the frozen humanoids. How and why were they frozen? This part of the story also explains the fall of ancient Sapey and the birth of the Sapiens. Can those from the past be able to coexist with those from the present?
