Does the player ever see it in a mission?
Hmm... I suppose it depends on what you count as "in a mission", but I think most people would say "no". 18.

...Fine, it's over. No, it's not a SEXP. You guys have 0 questions left.

Do you guys want to see how many questions it takes to arrive at the right answer, or should I just reveal what it was?

I kinda want 5+more questions actually, but if everyone else wants to skip that's fine.

Is It expressed as voice as well as text?

I didn't want to deprive anyone of the fun of chasing the right answer, but I don't want to leave the rest of you hanging either, so... okay.

The answer was "color tags".

Is it in fact an FS cannon?

Is it a weapon, a craft, or any other non-sentient device which serves a military purpose?
