Episode 504: Ghosts of Jing Jing Bei, Special Features
HOW TO SPEAK CHINESE
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
Part 1
- What was the real mission of the Eir? Why did they need all the medical supplies? Were they part of the 'trouble' that caused the Alliance to move in and bomb the shipyards on Aesir last year? (see the news articles posted in the Season Four Timeline) Are these supplies being laid in for a retaliatory move against the Alliance by the New Kalmar?
Part 2
- What happened to June Barrett? Why wasn't her name paried up further down the list with another place? Does this mean she's dead? Or is she still with Jing Jing Bei, wherever they are?
- Who is Director Ah? Why was she in charge of Jing Jing Bei?
- The townfolk in Alkali Flats seem suspicious of Arden's offer of certain medicines. Why? What happened to the people in the past to erode their trust in those medicines? Is this evidence that the people have been tricked before into accepting bad or fake medicines? How often does this happen on the Border and the Rim?
- The Sheriff in copperhead told Joshua that Jing Jing Bei were called Peacekeepers after the war and Amnesty had been given, and hinted that they had powers like Marshals. He also mentioned that the folk of Alkali Flats were 'independent-minded'. Was this the Capital-I independent, or the self-reliant kind of independent and what was Jing Jing Bei supposed to do with the former?
- Was Jing Jing Bei's agenda to root out Independent malcontents after the Amnesty? Why? Who or what were they looking for?
- What kind of people would steal children and sell them into slavery as a law-enforcement tactic? Was this done with the Alliance's tacit permission? Or was this a side business of Jing Jing Bei's? Do we even have evidence that money changed hands?
- Does the Alliance have the equivalent to today's Mann Act and if so, how is it enforced? (Maybe Di Lan Jeun can answer that one for us).
- Why can't the campaign archivist find a translation for Shiny in Chinese that sounds/looks like Jahn? TPO Arden, please help.
