The killing method of Lord Nuclear was radioactive radiation, hence the burns. How a madman pretending to be a doctor managed this is left as an exercise for the reader. The stuff about identity tags embedded inside the victims was a story device I decided not to use later on.

This is probably my most obscure clue ever. The head of state was/is of course the most powerful spaced-out cowboy in the world, George W. Bush.

They have apparently organized themselves into some sort of democratic organ that elects by vote who they think is responsible for the murders. It is droll, after a morbid fashion. |
Who is responsible for the murders? It is droll. Droll. Llord. Lord Nuclear.

Herd, milk, tie up, pretty obvious, I think Sparrowhawk got this one.
(This, as it happens, was when I started to have less time to devote to writing.)
quote: We had to trace back our steps hastily into the building only after a short while of walking, though, because the building itself managed to scare the bejeezus out of us. Not only does it look mighty malformed and distorted in moonlight, it seemed to have this evil, glowing aura surrounding it. |
Like poor scifi has shown us, radiation glows eerily in the dark.
quote: ou will also be revenged, and my vengeance will be horrible and excruciating! I am already on the move - Hercules was the first on this renewed crusade, as I found the device used for the electrocutions. A beauty, a Siemens AZR-4200. Over 50 years old and still working like nothing.. Maybe fashion it into a prod of some kind. Heh. Heh heh. Now Hercules' charred flesh stains the floor of one of the operation theaters. |
"Siemens AZR-4200" was a blatant red herring, the reference to the rod was of course the real clue.
waited for Nuclear to do his thing again, but nothing happened.
Oh, right, he's dead.
Although there never was a corpse... but I distinctly recall them taking him - or was that a dream?
quote: Regardless, I am now alone. Oh so alone!

This was supposed to be obscure - I tried to get to Spaced's homestead Texas, the Lone Star State, but as it happens, the stars gave him away by accident.
