The sleeping dragon is, of course, on f25v. :-)

FWIW, my tenuous claim to fame here is that the game's dead hacker (Vernon 
Blier, who cracks the VMs, but then gets killed by an evil cabal, pausing 
only to leave a video message for George and Nico on a hidden DVD-RAM) was 
based (loosely) on me. :-)

My old friend Charles Cecil (who runs Revolution, the game's developer) 
took some digital photos of my face when we went up to Temple Bruer for a 
medieval reconstruction day and picnic, and Revolution's artists later 
mapped those textures onto a (rather unflatteringly podgy) facial mesh... 
and the rest is (secret) history! :-)

Of course, I've delayed cracking the VMs until now in order not to spoil 
his sales. :-)

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
