The Ruum (Sci-fi Story)

Jim was looking for uranium.

A grizzly bear attacks the ruum because they are known to be aggressive and territorial animals. Grizzly bears are native to North America and are powerful predators that can pose a threat to other animals, including the ruum. They have a strong bite force and sharp claws which they use for hunting and defending their territory. Grizzly bears are known to be opportunistic hunters and will attack and kill other animals if they perceive them as a threat or as a potential source of food. Therefore, it is likely that a grizzly bear would attack the ruum.

The correct answer is triangular-shape. The question states that the commander is not human and one fact we know to infer this is his eye shape. Since the commander's eye shape is triangular, it suggests that he is not human.

When the ruum got Jim, it inspected him and then placed him back on the ground.

The correct answer is The Canadian Rockies. The question is asking about the destination of his plane, and the answer states that it took him to The Canadian Rockies.

The given answer states that Jim weighs 149 lbs. This means that his weight is 149 pounds.

Jim brought a gun with him to fight off the grizzly bears and kill rabbits to eat. This suggests that Jim is likely going on a wilderness adventure or camping trip where he may encounter dangerous animals like grizzly bears. Bringing a gun would provide him with a means of self-defense against potential attacks. Additionally, killing rabbits to eat implies that Jim is planning to rely on hunting for food during his trip.

The Ilkor didn't return to pick up the ruum because they got into a fight with a raider ship, which left both ships in a damaged and dangerous state. The description of the ships being "semimolten, radioactive, and full of dead crew" suggests that the Ilkor ship was severely damaged and the crew members were killed. Therefore, they were unable to return to Earth to retrieve the ruum.

Jim hallucinates his wife standing with outstretched arms during the night.

The ruum approached Jim at a speed of 5 mph.

Jim stopped the ruum from climbing and getting him by shooting at its claws and rope to try to break its parts. This action would force the ruum to take a detour, preventing it from reaching Jim.

Walt and Jim were going to use the paralysed prehistoric animals that Jim found to get money.

Jim tried to climb a huge boulder to slow down the ruum's chase.

Jim's plan, if he couldn't bomb the room, was to shoot himself with his rifle. This indicates that he had a backup plan to ensure that he wouldn't be captured or face the consequences of his failed bombing attempt.
