Hi Everyone,
It is time to announce the winner of the sixth Sapien Loop Quiz for this year. I must admit, the turnout for this one was a little disappointing. We were back down to three participants. The quality of responses was not great either. Low turnout and poor answers seem to go together. I will discuss that more in the results section.
The Sapien Loop quiz will not return until September. I think it is time to change things up a bit. In the meantime, enjoy two months of the Economic Challenge Series.
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 books.
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 14: During his interrogation, Orcille tells Vulay that the Carvaress cameras covered the whole route to the train station and might have captured the kidnappers.
Question 2: This question is from Chapter 5 of Sapien Loop: Frozen in Time: In this chapter, Orcilla, Denise, Louis, and Eugene met in the town hall to discuss the missing frozen Linap. Orcilla was concerned by the sneaky approach used to take the Linap. She believed there was a chance that the strangers who took the Linap could pose a threat to them.
Question 3: This question is from Chapter 36: While Pardi was pulling hot chilies out of his burrito, he asked the girls what they were going to learn in their online tuition classes. Yassmay told him they would be learning about acids, alkalis, and chemical reactions.
Question 4: This question is from Chapter 80: Demarcus visited Vulay in her office at the Enforcer Headquarters. He wanted Vulay to release his parents from prison. Vulay wanted something in return from Demarcus. Demarcus showed off his ability to become invisible and shapeshift. Vulay wanted Demarcus to use his shapeshifting skills to impersonate Genève, Deputy Head Theologist.
Question 5: This question is from Chapter 36: Pardi points out Jallelle’s decline in popularity and tells Lily she should drop her support for her. Initially, Lily responds angrily, but she almost instantly changes her position and supports Pardi’s idea to drop her.
Question 6: This question is from Chapter 5 of Sapien Loop: Frozen in Time: Orcilla is convinced the documents are written in the ancient language of Parelic. Lily is the only one she knows who can read Parelic.
Question 7: This question is from Chapter 14. After she and the other Inquisitives were arrested, Denise was taken to a room to be interrogated. This made her feel scared, as she had no idea why she had been arrested. When the enforcer interrogated her, she gave away no information at all about the missing girls.
Question 8: This question is from the short story: In Part One, Advisor Sanguine invites some of the most popular entertainers to the palace for a working lunch. At this lunch, Sanguine announces his new entertainment action team. He wants them to entertain the audience while also fulfilling a moral obligation to them. This would involve sharing the moral values of their leader, Governor Tiberius.
Question 9: This question is from the short story: Part Two is entirely focused on the Ricardo Show. Ricardo has invited all of the members of the entertainment action team to discuss their latest projects. Ricardo frequently makes disparaging remarks about and to his audience. He often refers to them as brain dead or morons.
The Winner
Overall, this contest had three participants. Unfortunately, none of the participants passed the threshold of answering five or more questions correctly. Therefore, this contest has no winners. The 30 Hive Power will be added to the next Sapien Loop Quiz in September. The Economics Challenge Series will be run in July and August. The first challenge will begin in a few days.
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?
