I'm going to respond regard to the new chapter first then come back to the replies.

First, it was good to see the various plot points get closer to coming together. So now we have the missing Legionnaires (Ham-Boy, Al B., Yuki and CSFB! (who was hidden)) joining up with the other plot line, and joining Vinnie, and Laurie/Beth.

We've also got the revelation that The Abyssal Greye is/was Buckland Dean (or was that already known?), former leader of the Improbable College, and forebear of FFF.

I have a few questions.

First up Avrogadrus del Lune of Part 19 became Hieronymus del Lune here. Is that a mistake?

Sarah of Dunboggie came through the time-gate-thing with the rest of them, but she wasn't/isn't our Sarah is she?

Also, what happens to the mind/soul of the former self when one takes over a former self - does it just sit in status somewhere and then snap back once the future self has moved on? These heroes are all still in their past selves bodies aren't they?

Visionary and Hallie are still to join up again.

Also this got me going back through Parts 14, 15 and 19. And then some of the links in those to other older stories.

There were several characters mentioned who I assume were (and in some cases have been established as) forebears of current LL members and cast.
I'm wondering if some were just coincidental rather than forebears?
Some of course are reliving the lives of said ancestors now.

So here's my scorecard for reference.

In Part Fourteen: Marie Murchison and the Da Visionary Code, the following characters jumped through time:
Al B.
Yuki
Ham-Boy
Visionary
Hallie
CSFB! (hidden)

We met up with Vis and Hallie in Part Fifteen: Sion Avery and the Hag of Doom

Living the lives of their past ancestors (??) The justiciar’s clerk, Blow-Ye-The-Trumpets-In-Sion Aivry (Visionary), and Black Helen the Greenhag (Hallie).

We also met with versions of Librarian (tortured scholar) HV (Justiciar Humbolt Vernold of the Church of Conformity), Anvil Man (MacGillicuddy “the Anvil”), Appendage Man (“Spare Parts” Milton), Velcro Vixen (Florentine Valerian Vee), The Baroness (The Red Countess Elizabard von Lurkberg Blutstein) and Silicone Sally and Cathode (serving girls Salla and Cathee).

Some of these seem very close to the current protagonists to be just ancestors (The Purveyors for instance)?

There were also references to some others:
"The adventurer de Clement,” he wheezed. “The explorer. He returned along the Silk Road from the court of Liu Xia Zhou, the Lord of Fire.” Presumably DBS and Liu Xia Xian?
"Ah yes, the heavy combination lock had been designed in 1498 by Norosella Tethys Unulus de Bautista. The correct dial number was 1-5-0." NTU

Then in Part 19 Avrogadrus del Lune and the Heretics of Tomorrow, we catch up with the others living as:
Avrogadrus del Lune (Al B.) “If you weren’t the mad little brother of Volumo, Count del Lune, a grandson of holy Giacomo himself,”
Fredo the butcher’s boy (Ham-Boy)
A shapely peasant brunette, Sarah of Dunboggie: That timeline version of our Sarah since she wasn't with them originally?
a tall glass jar of constantly roiling emerald fumes (Impossibilityium?)
bright green and orange ball (The Chupacabras)
Captain Biancaneve (Yuki)

Reference also to:
Count Framlicelli’s widow – Countess F (Miss F counterpart?)
Provost Malvolio Frost and the Conformity Inquisitors (son of Prince Maximus Abhuman and human and forebear of Balefire).

We also meet Buckland Dean aboard the Hidden Legion.

And learn of other members of the Improbable College (or this may have been in one of the links)
Reverend Dr Septimo Alarcon (Yo) (also connected to Lady Alarcon who built the mansion)
Florento de Clement (DBS)
Sarah the maid (Sarah)
JollyJuvenileSpicewineSwashbuckler!(CSFB!)

All just forebears? There's a whole lot of familiar connections going on...coincidence?

I'm confusing myself now.

Onto previous replies




Hopefully not as painful.




Oh dear.





Presumably you mean coal chute? I read that as coital chute and had confused thoughts about what occurs in Yorkshire cellars.




And footnote I imagine.




You're almost there.




What an interesting story. Industrial placements are good fuel for a young man.




I'll bet.







I must have missed those names in Chapter titles.







I have my guess.
