    How do you plan to use the very contorted BGCrash universe in a
BGCrisis universe??? I'm curious as to that.

I don't claim to be a BGC expert or anything, but like Jeanne I am a bit of
a stickler for details. My humble fic got started when I freeze-framed the
video on Sylia's data unit in BGC#1 and saw a big blue '2' on it. My first
question was, "Who has #1?" I couldn't think of anyone in BG Crisis who
could have logically had data unit #1 (I did toy with the idea of Mackie
having it, but I couldn't see him witholding it from Sylia) so I had to make
someone up. And that's where all the fun began in trying to make this

    Color me silly, but didn't Mason have something which had all of the
data on Sylia's data disk? We see him looking at it in ep. 3. At the end,
he challanges "Sylia" (uses her name), and then, after loosing, says:
"Sylia, it was you." It seemed to me that he had the other datadisk.
(As you can tell, I just got the subtitled BGC, and can understand more
than I could when watching it in Japanese).

That's about the way I saw it Ben. Now, remember the end of chapter 8 of
BG Cross? The Anonymous Investor refers to his "master data unit". Sylia has
backup #2 and Blackie has backup #1. So if Mason originally had the
information that the Anonymous Investor now has, who do you think the
Anonymous Investor is? If you said Mason, you're wrong. If you said Largo,
you're also wrong. But if you said "Mason AND Largo" you'd be close ;)

    I see why you want to see BG Crash.
    --and crash it did.. :O

I still want to see it. Jeanne's never said a bad word about it and if the
artwork is half as good as BGC#8, then I HAVE to watch it :)

    I'll have to read that one, if I get time..... Bert and I formed a
"Time mis-manager's Anonymous" but we can't find time to go to the
meetings.

Heh! I was going to form a procrastinator's support group, but I never got
around to it ;)

    Hehehehe. I guess the 10,000v. cattle prod is helping, ne?

Funny how the voltage keeps increasing ;)

anyway?

    Too damned much! ($1500 from Rochester, NY to Kanazawa). But, >there's

You're going as a transfer student? You're still a lucky dog! Chance of a
lifetime :)
