Trivia Edit

This event is called "SLUG_DISTRESS_QUESTION" in the datafiles.

Oddly, the event text for answering incorrectly puts one sentence in quotations, but not the other, even though the Slug is clearly speaking.

Prior to the Advanced Edition update, it was possible to know the correct answer by looking at the grammar of the event.
