Noted. I didn't mean it as an accusation, though, I just didn't want to add to confusion. Some of the facts presented in the new story could bleed through to stories that technically happened before otherwise.


> I'm also wondering whether it might be interesting to leave Anna in the Land that Time Forgot to have some solo adventures ("Last Hero" stuff) before sending her home via a roundabout route.

If I have time to write something like that. If she's left behind, it would have to be perpetrated by Drury and/or Garrick, since I don't see the Lair Legion purposely leaving her there (for instance the return could require the Helicarrier, and Drury could refuse to bring Anna along, and the LL could choose to get her later when SPUD isn't interfering). And I can tell you, Yuki would be very unhappy about it.

Of course that means she won't be stuck there for long. Yuki is pretty tireless about rescues.


> > Especially for Anna. The interesting thing is, the more she becomes like a normal person, the harder it will become to have her eliminated.
>
> And the less reason there will be.

That all depends on government and SPUD politics. Anna still kind of is a weapon of mass destruction...in the possession of the Lair Legion.


> > Of course they have a lot of dead bodies to clean up first. And I guess if Lara is around she can negotiate with the Trading Alliance. Unless Mumph does, since Shen Rae wants to talk to him anyway.

Oh I can cover that part, Mumph just has to be accessible first.

From earlier discussions, I thought she lacked the means to do so. Or to get home, at least - she can probably kick the Void Scholar off the mortal plane temporarily, but being stuck in the future is another matter.

And as I've always offered, if you need someone covering a few extra things so you can catch up on the main plot, email me.
