Nobel Prize Winner Hundar Knowler dies at 91.
UPP—Searsport, Maine Province
Family retainer, Stanworth Davis, reported yesterday that Mariner Hundar Knowler died of
respiratory failure at his home on the evening of the13th. Hundar Knowler was the last known living
Pisces. He was 91.
Hundar Knowler came to prominence in 2359 when the Pisces Congress announced him to the surface
world as the Pisces’ new Mariner, that society’s highest office. Spending more time above the water
than any of his fifteen predecessors, Hundar Knowler quickly established himself as the voice of
reason in world politics just as the Martian crises was reaching a head. He is traditionally credited
with preventing war between Mars and Earth when the Martian Vicar was assassinated in the World
Seat chambers in October of 2372. Though war did break out in 2373, Hundar Knowler was
nonetheless named that year’s recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, only the third Nobel Prize awarded
to a Pisces.
Despite the destruction of Atlantis by the Rock in 2374 and the following years of genocide of the
remaining Pisces, Knowler remained active and visible in world politics. (Editor’s note: The Pisces had
no known name for their capital city located about 150 kilometers southeast of New York’s Long
Island. As a result, it was commonly known as Atlantis by non-Pisces humans.) He and a coalition of
moderates in the Seat bartered an uneasy truce with Mars in 2378, but it never fully took hold; and full
war again broke out between Earth and Mars in 2386.

After the conclusion of the Terran/Martian Wars in 2389, Knowler and his family retired to Searsport,
deep in the Maine wilderness. Married in 2366 to Janine Wayhaven—a non-Pisces human—they had
three children; Everett (2368-2397), Katherine (2371-2397), and an unnamed boy who died at birth in
2375. Janine died in 2401 at the age of 72.
Though he remained in seclusion, Hundar Knowler was an outspoken opponent of NATech’s
growing involvement in the World Seat. He maintained this increasingly unpopular political stance
until his death
“Only by speaking the unbreathable can resolution be made,” he was quoted in a rare interview, given
in 2409. “The salt of our children has been removed by the wounds of our evil peace, and the quiet
dark cries for our deeds not committed.”
Hundar Knowler is preceded in death by his wife, his three children, and his race. He is survived by a
granddaughter, Deborah Mariner; only daughter of his son Everett. She is his only known relative and
ward from 2397 until his death. She is 18.
Funeral services are private and no details are to be released. In lieu of salt crystal (a traditional Pisces
gift of mourning) or flowers, mourners are encouraged to make a contribution to the Icecap
Preservation Fund.

Hundar Knowler dead at 91
NP—Maine Wilderness Region
NATech dissident and controversial activist Hundar Knowler is reported as having died on Thursday
evening. Cause of death was respiratory failure, a common occurrence among water-breathing people.
Knowler was its last known representative.
Knowler was named Mariner by the Pisces Congress in the mid-24th Century. Eschewing his domestic
duties in favor of the world stage, Knowler quickly became a political fixture at the World Seat in

Sydney, advocating a policy of appeasement to the Martian government. Ironically, the same Martian
society that he defended later destroyed his home city Atlantis during their unprovoked asteroid
attack on Earth in 2374.
Knowler remained in fringe politics for the remainder of his life, speaking out frequently in his
meandering Piscean dialect.
Knowler was married and had three children, all of whom precede him in death. He is said to have a
surviving granddaughter who remains in seclusion at the Knowler Mansion, about 150 kilometers
north of the New York Glasslands.

The fourth one was the worst yet.
“Hey, Deborah!” Chrissy shouted over the dull murmur of the market place. The noise didn’t justify
her yelling so loud. That she was Chrissy did.
I looked away from the lady who was carefully painting my nails and toward my best friend. We’d
known each other for years, so I’d long since gotten used to her attracting attention. I was convinced
she did it to draw that attention away from me.
“Over here!” I yelled back, though not as loud. “What did you find?”
Before she could answer, the lady firmly tugged my hand.
“Ma’am,” she reminded me for the fifth time, “this Sofglo permeate looks best if the user remains still
during its application.” She looked at me sternly. “Quite still.”
“Sorry,” I replied sheepishly. She was a Bloomingdale’s assistant and proud of it. While I was her
customer, she would serve me only on Bloomingdale’s terms. I kind of liked it that way. She nodded
and returned to applying the Sofglo.
“Scan this!” Chrissy stepped beside me and showed me a long, slim nightgown, shimmering with
each movement and smelling of sweetest pine. I scrunched my face.
“That’s definitely not you, Chrissy.”
“Ma’am!”
“Sorry.”
Chrissy laughed and opened it against my back. “Goose. It’s for you! Happy nineteenth from me to
