That is rather odd. I don't have a solid answer. Footnote?

After several abortive attempts, I'll leave it to someone else to write this footnote! I've added a "place holder" for it to Section 11.

Copied from 02smr 233: "It is possible that you may not be carrying a missile weapon at this point. This is a game-design issue that cannot be easily rectified."

See above.

Does anyone call that device a tacheometer or tachymeter? FWIW, I've
only ever called it an odometer.

If the common parlance is odometer, maybe go with that. (Milometer is what I would call it, and I think other Brits would agree, but I'm never certain about word usage these days!)


Also, what about:

(er) 274: bale out -> bail out
[so: see, for example: <http://www.dailywritingtips.com/bail-out-vs-bale-out/> ]

Aside from that, Book 4 looks to have been pretty straightforward. :-)
