Hi Everyone,
It is time to announce the winner of the second 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 book. I am pleased with the quality of the responses. We had three participants who managed to answer all nine questions correctly.
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 27. Pardi calls up Orcille, telling him to draw attention to the rebels (i.e., the Inquisitives). He wanted him to speak at the House of Divine Knowledge to as large a crowd as possible.
Question 2: This question is from Chapter 101. In the storeroom, Lily grabbed the 19CE serum and the seaweed-based fertility drug. She placed them on a trolley and left.
Question 3: This question is from Chapter 40. Dr. Cortex was concerned with Vulay’s obsession with Victor. It appeared he was a key factor in causing her criminal behaviour. Even though he was dead, he was concerned she would become influenced again in a similar way.
Question 4: This question is from Chapter 40. In the opening paragraph of the chapter, it states that the Cellrebrum Region Rehabilitation Centre was run by the Spiro Company. They were supported by Rezif and Aivr companies, which supplied them with medication and technology, respectively.
Question 5: This question is from Chapter 46. Lily did not necessarily truly support increasing the enforcers powers. However, she knew that because of recent events, such a proposal had strong public support. Therefore, to protect her popularity and safeguard her career, she voted with the Business Sector governors.
Question 6: This question is from Chapter 27. The girls dress the pizza delivery guy up as a fairy.
Question 7: This question is from Chapter 101. The bunker was collapsing. Dratsab wanted to escape. In doing so, he was slashed by a Sentray’s claws and then bitten in half.
Question 8: This question is from Chapter 46. The expedition that brought back the Sentray’s eggs also brought back a unique seaweed. This seaweed had unique healing properties that could increase fertility.
Question 9: This question is from my new book Sapien Loop: Frozen in Time. Denise planted large leafy plants near the chamber they were exploring. It was to supply them with food if they needed to work in the tunnels for months. Eugene would have preferred she had grown plants that produced fruit.
Winners
Overall, this contest had eight participants. Three of those participants answered all 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 second quiz of this year is @stekene. Congratulations on winning 30 Hive Power.
The Sapien Loop Quiz will return later this month. I suggest you get reading now.
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 a 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?
