2I have a couple questions about recent happenings in the Bionicle Story line -
3Who is the imprisoned Great Being in the chamber where Vezon teleports Axxon, Brutaka, Helryx, Lewa, Miserex, and Artakha?
4What happens to the forementioned characters?
5How does Velika play into this? I know he was a Great Being is disguise, but I'm kind of lost after that.
6And are you ever going to update BionicleStory.com?
71) Not sure what you mean by who -- are you looking for his name?
82) Nothing has happened to them at this point.
93) Play into what?

21) when the 2005 arc was written, what was your influences to write that story?32) what character do you think (in all of the bionicle main universe) that dont deserve to be dead?43) (this one is not a bionicle question) do we will see more interesting things in ninjago?54) what characters do you think that would have a love interest?
61) I didn't come with the overall arc for 2005, Bob Thompson did.
72) I don't have any whose death I regretted
83) Sure
94) I don't believe in putting love interests into this stuff. At the age these things are aimed at, most boys are still going, "Girls, yuck!" and have no interest in reading romance stories anymore than I want to write them.

21. How well do you think the Cryoshell songs fit in with the overall feel of Bionicle?
32. Did you like the songs?
43. Theoretically, if Bionicle were to return with a jump to the future (To make it easier for new fans to get into it), would you explain the endings of Yesterday Quest and The Powers That Be?
51) I never paid that much attention to them
63) How would it help new fans to explain the ending of a story they never read?
7You misunderstand me, I meant jumping to the future would help new fans. And if you. theoretically, jumped to the future with the story, would you give the old fans a nod with the conclusions of Yesterday Quest and The Powers That Be?
8That would be up to whether LEGO wanted me to. They might, they might not. They might feel that posting story officially that had nothing to do with current story or current characters would confuse new fans.
9Yeah, but otherwise, Bionicle would get the reputation of having a story line that won't be finished. New fans might fear that it will happen again, and that would cost LEGO some buyers!
10Why are you assuming new fans will even know that? A kid who is, say, 9 in 2015 would have been 4 in 2010 when BIONICLE ended. I doubt he was paying attention when he was 4.

11I assume that because the internet is already full of things like 'Bring Bionicle Back!'. Think about how these old fans would react after a reboot: 'Bring Old Bionicle Back!' or 'Finish Old Bionicle!'. If I would be ten or eleven, I would just hit some links, and I would find out that Bionicle's previous story line wasn't finished which let to a lot of confused fans. That must be a reason for some fans to be cautious about buying a lot of sets. That is my best hope for LEGO to give you the oppertunity to finish the old story line!

21. Do you think you will ever be able to continue the story?
32. What is your favorite element?
43. What's the connection between the red star and the lightning from the red star that hit the Toa Inika?
51) Right now, there is no demand from the company that I do so and no place official to post it, so it's not a priority.
62) Ice
73) Um, well, the lightning came from the red star, so there's a connection
8Hmm, I wonder if that lightning could had something to do with the star malfunctioning.
2And I also hope it wouldn't be the last we get to see of many of these memoranda and iconic characters like the Toa Nuva and the Shadowed One. I also hope that the events Greg wrote about after the defeat of Makuta Teridax won't simply be omitted and retconned :/ The plot about Marendar, Gaardus, Pohatu and Kopaka's visit to the Red Star, them ginding The Kestora in it, and ginding Mavrah, it's all too interesting to simply trash. It has so much potential. Maybe we'll find a way to wrap those things up, perhaps with new fan-created canon contests on BZPower I really hope so.

What is the proper chronological order of the following: the brain attack web episode, Secret Mission 3: Collision Course, Secret Mission 4: Robot Rampage and Secret Mission 5: Mirror World? 2. Also, if it so happens that the web episode takes place before Stringer is stuck on Tranquis VII, why is he not present? 3. Where's Nex throughout the Brain Attack saga? Thanks again, rud01
2Hi Rud - 1) I don't worry about fitting the novels into chronology, particularly since I have nothing to do with the web episodes. 3) No idea. Someone on the HF story team would need to answer that.

2I don't design sets, Storm. There will be new Ninjago sets in 2014.
