14a It's in the sticks - make haste (8) I have ----P---

17a Bones made of 12 (6). I have 12 as SLICER so RELICS makes sense BUT I also have 5d as PERSEPHONE so there is a conflict! There are several alternate spellings of PERSEPHONE but none seem to fit. I'm pretty sure SLICER is right and was pretty sure about PERSEPHONE till I tried to enter RELICS!

26a In one variation, runner-up docked in front of spacecraft (4,4)


Thanks in advance,

James

26a Nose cone

hi james. if you change persephone to proserpine (kidnapped by pluto, god of the underworld) it fits.

14a = celerity. (It in celery)

Tanktop... so does Prosperine which is one of the alternates I found!!!

14a is CELERITY - it within celery
17a RELICS were often bits of bone
26a NOSE CONE (someone else answered that one in another question, though i'm not sure why, but it fits).

NOSE CONE because ONE mixed up outside SECON(D), docked indicating de-tailed!
