Not quite finished, but at ten pages, i think it's a good time to end the
chapter.


Chapter 6

    Washu grumbled a bit as she poked around in the mist.  She knew that
there was a strong force field around the planet, but she already had a
plan to bring down the barrier and allow the rest of the Jurai Defense
Force to land.  Running among the ruins, she suddenly had an inspiration so
wild and so improbably that it could possibly work.  'Damn it!  I'd better
bring down the shield.'

    But even as she thought, she felt something wrong.  With her portable
super computer, she scanned the surroundings.  There was nothing.  She
checked around, visually.  But there was still nothing.  'Why am I getting
these feelings all of the sudden?  As if something was wrong here.'
Reality struck Washu, and she immediately dropped what she was doing.
'It's Ryoko!'

    Running through the ruins, Washu made her way to the Great Hall.  'Damn
it all, if something happened to my daughter, I'll tear out Kagato's liver
myself!'  Washu began to run faster and faster, but deep in her mind, she
knew something happened.

* * *

    Tenchi sobbed quietly as he hugged Ryoko.  Of all the stupid things she
had to do, she had to get herself killed, for his behalf.  Tenchi muttered,
as tears flowed freely.  "Why did you have to do that?  Why?"  Tenchi
carefully placed Ryoko on the floor.  He slowly stood up, and turned to
face Kagato, the rage within so intense that one could feel an aura around
him.

    His voice was deathly cold, devoid of his warmth and emotions as he
vowed revenge.  "Kagato, you will die!"  Tenchi's eyes spied his sword, and
he ran after it.  Kagato, on the other hand, felt that it was not in his
best interest for Tenchi to be armed again and indiscriminately blasted
energy bolts at Tenchi.

    Ducking and weaving, Tenchi ran all out, only pausing to lower his
right arm and scoop up his sword.  With practiced ease, Tenchi ran around,
and made a leap at Kagato.  Kagato barely flinched as he deflected Tenchi's
blow.  Both resumed their battle, but this time, Tenchi intensified his
attacks, the memory of Ryoko driving him on.

    Washu ran breathless into the room.  'Please let there be no problem,'
she prayed as  she glanced around.  She saw Tenchi hold himself against
Kagato rather well.  Washu breathed a sigh of relief, but she became calm
to late.  Her sigh of relief became an anguished sob as she saw Ryoko on
the floor.  Washu ran next to her daughter's side.  "Ryoko!  Ryoko!"  she
shouted, but Ryoko was silent to her words.

    Tenchi screamed as he furiously landed blows on Kagato.  "I will kill
you for what you did to Ryoko!"  Kagato fiercely parried, and was getting
ready to launch his offensive when he heard a voice in his head.

    "Kagato!  Do not forget your reason for being there!  I want the boy
Tenchi, alive!"  Kagato leaped backwards, and his sword disappeared.

    Kagato stood there, almost mocking Tenchi.  "So you wish to kill me?
Very well, I'll be waiting for you!"  A giant green portal formed about
Kagato, and he leaped through it.  Without any hesitation, Tenchi followed
him through the portal, which closed as soon as he left.

    Seconds later, through the ruined ceiling of the Great Hall, a giant
greenish portal opened up, and Kagato's giant spaceship disappeared into
it.  Washu gasped.  "Tenchi's gone!"  But despite her desires, she knew
that Tenchi could take care of himself.  'At least he finally grew up.  But
now, I have to take care of my daughter.'  Washu stared at Ryoko.

    Ayeka dashed up to Washu.  "Is Ryoko alright?  Where is Lord Tenchi?"
Sasami, meanwhile, was sobbing as she kneeled next to Ryoko.  Washu seemed
not to be listening as she kneeled next to Ryoko and was gingerly touching
the wounds.

* * *

    Tenchi leaped through the portal, ready to follow Kagato to the ends of
the Universe to avenge the death of Ryoko.  But even as he rashly leaped
into the portal, something in the back of his head told him something was
wrong.  Tenchi landed in a giant empty room, surrounded in absolute darkness.

   A voice echoed from everywhere.  "I welcome you to my ship, Tenchi
Masaki.  As it is someone's interest that you be alive, I unfortunately had
to resort to this underhanded trick to disarm you."

    "Come out and fight me, you coward!"  Tenchi ran forwards, when he
realized that he was moving slower.  Looking down in horror, he found that
a layer of ice was slowly spread from the his feet, and growing upwards.
"Kagato!  I will get you!"  Tenchi forced himself to walk, but every step
he took, the ice slowly covered more and more of his body.  Within a
minute, Tenchi was locked in a solid layer of ice, and placed into
hibernation.

    Kagato growled as he knew that Lady Tokimi wanted Tenchi untouched.  He
strongly desired to kill that boy right there, as he was the only force in
the universe that could possibly stand up to him.

* * *

    Ayeka shook Washu.  "Washu!  Will Ryoko live?"

    Washu silently stood up.  Washu didn't speak.  "Washu!  Will Ryoko
live?"  Washu looked at Ayeka, and surprisingly, despite the many times
Washu had mercilessly teased Ryoko, there was a sadness.

    "There is nothing I can do.  I need to get the jewels from Tenchi's
sword.  And then, then Ryoko has a chance of living."

    Sasami wiped away some of her tears.  "You mean Ryoko's alive!"  There
was a hope in her voice.  Washu nodded.

    "She's a live alright, but barely.  But the sooner we get the jewels
from Tenchi's sword, the better chance Ryoko has for living.  But where is
Kagato taking Tenchi?"  Washu collapsed to her knees again as she thought
there was an infinite number of possible places Kagato would take Tenchi.

    But fortunately, Washu had a powerful mind, and all of the loose ends,
for a brief moment came together.  "He's going to Lady Tokimi.  I must go!"
 Washu carefully picked up Ryoko.  She muttered, "Hang on Ryoko.  I'll get
you up and walking in no time."

    "Miss Washu, I'd like to come as well.  I'm sure I can help."  Ayeka
rested a calm hand on Washu's shoulder.  Washu stopped for a moment as she
thought it over.

    "No, Ayeka.  There is no way you are coming.  It was because of Tokimi,
Ryoko got hurt.  No one is capable of confronting Lady Tokimi.  Tenchi
might have a chance.  If I got lucky, maybe I can match her."  Washu looked
at Ayeka with sincerity and the slightest trace of tears in her eyes.  "If
you came and died, I'd never forgive myself."

    Washu turned to Sasami, and as she turned, her emotions made a slight
deviation.  "So Tsunami!"  Washu stopped for a moment.  "Err, Sasami, are
you ready to come?"  Sasami nodded.

    "Why of course!  I always love an adventure."  Ayeka started to twitch.

    "Well, Miss Washu, then I'm coming along to keep an eye on Sasami.  And
there is absolutely no way you can say no!"  Washu stared at Ayeka for a
moment, as if she were thinking about knocking out the princess and then
running off.

    Washu slumped her shoulders.  "Very well, anyone who wants to come
along, may come."

* * *

    Lady Tokimi stared at the giant geode of ice, it's surface too hazy to
reveal its inner contents.  "D3, our plans are going as scheduled.  What do
you think we should do with Tenchi in the mean time?"

    D3 turned, and looked at the goddess.  "I would not know, Lady Tokimi.
Perhaps it is best if you handled that detail.  I must attend to my duties."

    Lady Tokimi smiled, and she waved her hand.  "Very well, D3.  You made
do as you wish."  D3 immediately faded from the Great Hall.  Lady Tokimi
gestured, and the giant ice crystal splintered, leaving Tenchi.  Tenchi
remained frozen for a moment, and then he gingerly took a step.

    "What happened?"  Tenchi asked to no one in particular.  "Where am I?"
Tenchi looked around, in an attempt to regain his bearings.  The sword
blared in his hands, as he spied Lady Tokimi.  Almost immediately, he
relaxed his guard.  "Do you know where Kagato went?"

    Lady Tokimi smiled cryptically as she looked at Tenchi.  "Kagato?  I
know nothing of Kagato.  He is no more, shall we say.  He has certainly
served his purpose."  Tenchi stared at Lady Tokimi quizzically, and she
started to laugh.  "I resurrected him for the sole purpose of bringing you
to me.  I have no use for him at all, so I disposed of him."

    Immediately, Tenchi realized, this was the person who brought Kagato
back to life, the person inherently responsible for Ryoko's death.  Tenchi
gritted his teeth.  "It's all your fault!"  His sword burned bright as he
charged Lady Tokimi.  A giant energy wave blasted forth from Lady Tokimi,
and enveloped Tenchi, so that he couldn't move.

    Tokimi continued on, as if she really didn't perceive Tenchi as a
threat.  "I am fascinated, Tenchi, about Lady Washu.  Maybe you can tell
me."  Tenchi looked at Lady Tokimi fearfully, as his body was locked in a
spell.  Before him, he could almost picture Ryoko, and seeing her brought a
certain comfort to him.  Struggling as hard as he could, he could feel the
spell binding him starting to snap.

    Lady Tokimi looked Tenchi in surprise as he forced himself to take a
step.  "Very impressive, Tenchi."  Lady Tokimi closed her eyes and focused
for a moment, feeling an energy build up within her, she placed her cold
hands on Tenchi's forehead, and intoned a spell.

    Tenchi felt the world fading around him, and he heard Lady Tokimi
speak.  "Open your thoughts and memories to me..."  However, Tenchi could
hear no more as he had completely blacked out.

    Lady Tokimi felt the information flowing around in Tenchi's head.
Facts, dates, and numerous stuff that Tenchi objectively experienced in
life.  Within the giant darkness of Tenchi's memory, Lady Tokimi floated
among these facts, serenely examining, and experiencing Tenchi's
experiences through Tenchi's eyes.  However, not all was serene in Tenchi's
mind.  Out of nowhere, a giant flood, washed down onto Lady Tokimi, and she
saw visions in her head, visions so painful that she screamed.

    She saw images of Tenchi, crying by his mother's bed.  Images of Tenchi
playing with his friends.  She was beginning to feel Tenchi's emotions,
overwhelming her.  She saw Tenchi's father, trying hard to be both parents
at once, and despite his faults, she had to love him.  There was feelings
of exasperation as Ayeka and Ryoko constantly battled.  There were feelings
of trepidation as Washu ensnared Tenchi.  There were feelings of relief as
soon as Mihoshi and Sasami appeared.

    As Tokimi experiences years of Tenchi's life in moments, she felt,
somewhat dazed, that the memories were coming to an end.  She saw Tenchi
battling Kagato, the fear that was within Tenchi.  They everything became a
blur as Tenchi forced himself to put away his fear, and the heat of battle
overtook Tenchi.  The blur suddenly focused on Ryoko, and immediately
intense sadness gripped Lady Tokimi's heart.

    The memories ran out, and Lady Tokimi stumbled backwards, as she found
herself taken over by Emotions.  What had taken Ryoko years to accomplish
in the cave, Lady Tokimi felt in a microburst of time, in mere seconds.
And surprisingly, Lady Tokimi felt completely different, there was a
difference to how she perceived things.

    Tenchi felt himself awakening from a light sleep, and he found Lady
Tokimi reeling backwards and stumbling about as if confused.  He
immediately raised his sword, and prepared to avenge Ryoko's death.  But
even as he raised the sword, Lady Tokimi collapsed, and Tenchi
instinctively caught Lady Tokimi.

* * *

    "Miss Washu, you know where Tenchi went?"  Lady Ayeka stood next to
Washu, who was piloting Ryo-Ohki.  

    Washu muttered.  "Let's say that I suddenly remembered."  Washu looked
at Ayeka.  "Ayeka, all that I ask you to do is be prepared for anything.
We are up against a power more powerful than you or even me."  Washu
sounded depressed as she turned her concentration back to piloting.  "I
just hope that we make it out alive."
 
* * *

    Lady Tokimi groaned slightly, and opened her eyes, only to find herself
staring at the great expanse of ceiling above her.  Struggling somewhat,
she sat up, and saw Tenchi sitting patiently on the edge of the dais stare
at the ground, as if sad.  As soon as he heard Lady Tokimi groan somewhat,
he turned to her.  "I assume you're feeling better now?"

    "Yes."  Lady Tokimi paused for a moment.  "Thank you."  Lady Tokimi
felt awkward as she sat there.  Perhaps it was the effect of Emotions on
her.  She felt a certain guilt, perhaps a guilt for foolishly resurrecting
Kagato.  Now that she had learned about Tenchi's life, she realized that
Kagato had caused so much pain to Tenchi.  "Tenchi, I'm sorry."

    Tenchi almost laughed cynically as he looked at Lady Tokimi.  "How
could you have done something that rash?  Well I hope you feel good about
it."  Tenchi sighed as he reflected on his own mortality, when Kagato had
killed him.  But Tsunami had rescued him.  Why couldn't she rescue Ryoko?

    Lady Tokimi felt something overtake her.  "Well I don't feel good about
it!  I feel downright terrible!"  She snapped at Tenchi, and he sort of
jumped when she raised her voice.  Even Lady Tokimi was surprised.  Never
before had she raised her voice.  And just by looking at herself, she felt
an enormous insight into the reasons behind Washu's betrayal.

    Another voice in the back of her head told her to fight the change, but
there was no turning back.

    "Well, why didn't you think about it first?  Why?  And now Ryoko's
dead."  Tenchi felt so bad that he could have cried his eyes out, but he
managed to stifle it.  Somehow, Lady Tokimi knew what Ryoko was thinking,
blaming himself for Ryoko's death.

    The guilt finally overtook her, and she wanted to some how, make it up
to Tenchi.  Tenchi felt a hand rest on his shoulder, and he turned to find
Lady Tokimi.  Lady Tokimi paused for a moment, as she tried to find the
particular reason why she felt so willing to help Tenchi.  Perhaps it had
to do with the fact that she knew everything about Tenchi.

    "Maybe you want to take a walk?"  Tenchi looked at Lady Tokimi for a
minute, and looking at the drab surroundings, he followed.

* * *

    Tenchi admitted that he had to be impressed.  The garden that Lady
Tokimi was taking him through had to be the most impressive garden that he
had ever seen before.  "It's beautiful."  However, the garden didn't help
to banish away Tenchi's sadness.  Tenchi walked silently among the roses
and flowers, some how each reminding him about Ryoko.

    Lady Tokimi looked at Tenchi.  "Are you thinking about Ryoko?"
Immediately, Tenchi froze to the spot.

    "Lady Tokimi, what are you doing?"  It was the monotone voice of D3.
Lady Tokimi turned around just in time to see her follower, passively
standing there.  "I thought you were going to detain the human Tenchi."

    Lady Tokimi seemed unsure for a moment.  "Well, I felt that he might be
bored."

    "You felt something?  Lady Washu is going to be here soon, and you are
wasting time with that boy?"  Somehow, Lady Tokimi didn't like the tone of
D3's voice.  It seems to unalive, and yet, there was a menacing almost
impatient tone to it.  She faltered for a moment.

    "Leave her alone, will you?"  Lady Tokimi heard Tenchi's voice, which
was the direct opposite of D3's.  It seemed so alive, and filled with
emotions.  It was calming and soothing.

    D3 muttered a curse, and he walked out of the garden.  He called out
over his shoulder.  "Lady Tokimi, when the time comes, I hope for your
benefit that you do not falter."

    Lady Tokimi stared as D3 exited.  "I can handle him myself, you know."
Lady Tokimi didn't need Tenchi standing up for her, but she did appreciate
Tenchi's willingness to stand beside her.  "But thanks."

    Tenchi had been thinking while he was in the garden.  "So, you never
told me.  Why are you so interested in Washu?"

    "20,000 years ago, I sent her to this dimension with Tsunami to
determine whether it would be feasible to take over this world.  Tsunami,
after crossing the dimensional boundary, immediately rebelled against me,
and disappeared.  Washu was loyal for many centuries, when she too
rebelled."  Lady Tokimi paused.  "I want to find out what happened, and I
am going to punish Washu for not following orders."

    "You're going to punish Washu?"  Tenchi seemed turned off by the fact
that Lady Tokimi seemed so, so angry.  That was a disadvantage of having
emotions.  Allowing emotions to run freely without proper restraint was
just as bad as having no emotions.  "Why?  Washu is such a good person."

    Lady Tokimi calmed down a little.  "So is she important to you?  Even
when she teases you all the time?"

    Tenchi seemed put off slightly.  "Well, she is a good friend."

* * *

    "Are we there yet?"  Mihoshi complained to Washu.

    Washu gritted her teeth.  "Will you stop asking that bubble head?  I
said less than 30 seconds that we'll be there soon!"

* * *

    "So Tenchi, what do you think of my garden?  Do you like it?"  Lady
Tokimi looked at Tenchi.

    "It's very beautiful, but I prefer to be home right now."  Tenchi spied
a tree, and he leaned against it.  "I don't know, but I want to be home."

    "Why is that?  Is the garden beautiful?  Or you don't like the garden?
I can change it."  With a wave of the hand, the entire garden changed.  It
seemed more life like and beautiful.  But somehow, watching the garden
change before him didn't help to make himself feel better.

    "It's not the garden."  Tenchi worked hard to formulate what he truly
felt into words.  "It's just that I don't like it here.  I just don't know
what to believe and what not to believe."  Tenchi looked around all
confused.  "And I just want to be alone."

    "Are you sure?"  Lady Tokimi suddenly sounded very different.  "I was
alone for an eternity."  Tenchi looked at Lady Tokimi, for a moment,
somewhat dubious.  "Before, I didn't care about being alone.  All that I
had was my desire to take over dimensions.  And now, after meeting you, I
feel that I have missed a great deal in my life."

    "I don't mean I want to be alone forever.  I just want just to think
alone for awhile."  Tenchi choked for a moment.  "I just want to think
about Ryoko."

    "You love her, don't you?"  That question made Tenchi freeze for a
minute.  "You're thinking about her?"  Tenchi immediately looked away, and
remained silent.

    Lady Tokimi didn't know why she was suddenly getting so anxious around
Tenchi.  She had been virtually alone for her entire life, and now, right
in front of her, was the chance to get a companion, one who could make her
life more fulfilled.  She had to convince him to stay.

(Ok, sue me.  I had to make at least one more girl fall for Tenchi...)

    "Tenchi, I want you to stay."  Tokimi could almost slap herself, as her
wording didn't come out the way she wanted it.  It seemed so impersonal, so
uninteresting.  Tenchi didn't answer, he continued to stare at his feet.

    "Come on, Tenchi.  I want you to stay."  Lady Tokimi found herself
almost laughing at the situation.  Here, the most powerful force in the
universe, begging to a mere mortal.  And yet, she found that she wanted to
know Tenchi's opinion.  'What is happening?'

    "I'm sorry, I can't stay."

    'Oh, why won't he listen to me?'  Tokimi could feel her anger rising
again.  That was one disadvantage of having Emotions.  Those who can not
control their emotions are often driven to impulsive acts.  That is when
emotions can be very dangerous.

    "You are going to stay."  Tokimi's voice lowered slightly, giving
Tenchi an impression that she was being irrational.  "There is no way I'm
going to spend another thousand of years all by myself."  Tenchi seemed
rather uninterested with Lady Tokimi's demands.

    "You have nothing to keep you on Earth."  Tenchi was quick to respond
to that allegation.

    "That's not true."  Tenchi scowled, as he rested his head on his knees,
waiting for something to happen.

    Lady Tokimi started to speak, and with every word, Tenchi felt his gut
wrenched around.  "You are not accepted on Jurai.  You are quite possibly
them most powerful mortal in this dimension, and you are not recognized.  A
woman that you loved died."  Tenchi couldn't bear to hear Lady Tokimi echo
his thoughts precisely.

    It wasn't that Tenchi constantly got these self-depreciating thoughts,
just that when he felt sad or low, he'd think about them.  Tenchi stood up
and briskly walked away.  "Tenchi, stop."  That voice made Tenchi stand
still, rooted to the spot.  Intrigued, Tenchi turned around, and thought he
saw a ghost.

    Somehow, some force entered his mind, making it hard for him to reason
this improbable situation.  Right in front of him was Ryoko, perfectly
fine, without a single hurt or wound.  "Ryoko..."  Tenchi stood mesmerized,
but a tiny voice in the back of the head told him to resist.  However, Lady
Tokimi's powers of illusion were so great that Tenchi could not see through
the illusion.

    Tenchi hugged Lady Tokimi.

* * *

    Washu looked out at the tiny expanse of space.  For a moment, she
scrutinized the area, as if trying to unearth a memory in her head.
Finally satisfied, she turned to the others.  "We have arrived.  The
hardest part is yet to have come."

    Carefully, with extreme skill, Washu slowly guided Ryo-Ohki into the
tiny dimensional rip that separated Lady Tokimi's kingdom from the real
world.  After landing, Washu paced around, surveying the surroundings.
'I've been here before.'  Washu muttered.  "If I can remember correctly, we
should go this way."  Washu picked up Ryoko, and tirelessly walked through
the mist.

    The group tried to forge their way through the thick mist, and at
times, they struggled to discern the person in front of them.  Eventually,
the mist thinned out, and a palace, more grandiose than the Jurai Royal
Palace, loomed in front of them.  Washu uncharacteristically appeared
cautious as she stood in front of the giant gates, apparently waiting or
lost in thought.

    Ayeka seemed slightly puzzled, as Washu was usually quick to throw
caution to the wind.  "What's wrong, Washu?  You seem to be unusually
cautious."

    Washu stared for a moment.  "Around Lady Tokimi, you have to be
cautious.  She never makes a mistake.  To be against her, you need to
control all of your mistakes."  Washu peered around, and took a deep
breath.  "Get ready."  Together, they entered the palace.

    Endless echoes, the sound of feet impacting with the ground with a
mesmerizing beat.  Washu muttered.  "Everyone, grab a hold of the person's
hand next to you, and don't let go."

    Kiyone was puzzled as she handed she grabbed onto Washu's shoulder and
Mihoshi latched on to her other hand.  "Miss Washu, why are we doing this?"

    "Lady Tokimi is a master of many things, and illusions are one of her
nasty specialties.  Around the Great Hall is her Maze of Illusion.  It does
not appear the same to anyone.  I know the way, and I don't want to feel
bad about leaving any of you in there."  Washu plowed on purposefully
through what appeared to be a wall.

* * *

    Lady Tokimi suddenly felt a disturbance.  Not quite a disturbance, but
an old familiar feeling that made her spine tingle somewhat.  She stood up,
and almost immediately, Tenchi stood up.  "What's wrong?  Ryoko?"  he asked
as he looked at Lady Tokimi.

    Lady Tokimi looked grim.  "A small group of people are coming."  Lady
Tokimi knew that the visitors' intent was to rescue Tenchi, and she
wouldn't let them take him without a fight.  Suddenly a plan crept into her
mind, a plan that actually had a chance to work.  Somehow, she found
herself not liking the plan, but compared to spending the rest of eternity
alone, she found her plan more satisfying.

    "Tenchi, I have something to tell you."

**************
Ok, so I assume full responsibility for taking the Tenchi Syndrome to the
extreme.  I mean, this was just bound to happen, if AIC ever gets around to
planning the third OVA series of Tenchi Muyo.  I mean, Tenchi already has
two goddesses stuck to him like glue, it wouldn't hurt to add another one
to Tenchi's constantly burgeoning list of admirers.

Future Works.
Perhaps a Nuku Nuku Fanfic,
or even a Mamono Hunter Fanfic
But if I feel crazy enough, I could try my hand at writing my first ever,
formula based, Zenki tv episode, or some formulated movie.

Ranma 1/2: errr......   May be a fanfiction, where Azusa sees Ranma as an
object of affection, and Ranma also likes her as well?  Get Akane and
Mikado together to pound some hell into Ranma?  (Um, as you can tell, it's
a quickie.)  As you can see, I'm just playing around with the matching
schemes here.

Or perhaps a fanfic with Ranma as a meek and mild teenager who somehow,
when made angry, turns him into a kickass warrior....  But then again, who
wants to read infinite variations about Ranma vaporizing his enemies, or
using Chestnuts Fist until the word Chestnuts bring agonizing pain to the
readers...

Or even a fanfic, where Ranma is Chinese, and lives in a tribe of male
dominated warriors in competition with the Chinese Amazons.  (Err, he kicks
total ass, and Shampoo doesn't know which tribal law to follow, kill him on
sight, or to pursue him for love.  Do note, I'm kind of scared as this
could easily turn into a Romeo and Juliet parody.

How about a Ranma and Ranko split personalities fanfiction. Ranma usual
self, Ranko nice and mild, etc.  Both do not exist side by side, but how
about have both fall in love with each other?  I just need to get
permission from a few authors. (Hmmm, Engman, was it?  I do believe she
wrote a fanfiction or at least started one featuring Ranma/Ranko)

A fanfic about Ranma & Ukyo?  Err... I don't know... Kind of has been done
before...

Nabiki and Tenchi?  Err... never mind me... I'm still stuck in Tenchi mode
after watching Tenchi Muyo in Love on LD twice in a row.

Whatever, I'm still alive, and I'm still open for business.  I'm going to
try to finish a chapter of Alternative Reality, now.
