The QUERY command allows you to communicate with the powers-that-be, to request information or clarify whether some circumstance/issue is working as it should or whether you have encountered a bug in the system. Type QUERY followed by the text of your query and it will be logged. You can type QUERIES at any time to review your outstanding queries, and keep your eyes peeled for replies; hopefully illuminating or clearing up the query. On occasion you may find your query is removed from your QUERIES list without a response. If this happens, you can assume there was no bug but that any answer would be indiscreet/overly revealing (e..g. giving away secrets of an opponent's skillset).
