What's your definition of 'soon'? <gulp>

    Seriously, folks, this was a wonderful, tense chapter with a lot of
very interesting revelations. It's really cool to see several seemingly
unrelated pieces of the plot suddenly fall into place. And yes, I'm
*seriously* upset for you kidnapping Ranma right after he proposes.

Would you rather I have them get him just before he can pop the
question?

If you have the Russians do any of that stuff they did to Ukyou and not have
him fight back, though, then I'll really have something to contest with you.
    Anyway, I hope to see more of this very soon. :)

To quote Doctor Pulatski of the Russian Diplomatic Attaché to France:

"What you have in there is a young, healthy, clean-living Japanese man
who is as strong as an ox and requires dangerous levels of
intra-muscular barbiturates to put him down."
                                
                   -Chasing the Wind Part 8, Chapter 1.

Don't worry too much about Ranma. They gotta dry him out if they want to
get what they want from him.
