Well, I've been receiving a large amount of fan mail recently, believe 
it or not, and so I felt indebted to post this.

     Over the last day, my hard drive has been re-formatted TWICE. 
Everything on it: My fan-fics, saved mail, games, warez (oops, not supposed 
to put that in..), etc., is '*-{[_GONE_]}-*'. Three years of accumulated 
writings and junk, gone, and a corrupted backup.

     I'll agree with Lazar: Life Sucks. Everything Sucks. Families Suck, as 
my FATHER -of all people, why him- formatted the verdammnt thing first..

     Sigh..

     Anyway, the point is it's going to be awhile untill I get damage 
control loaded and ready to type. until then I'm going to answer one 
question that has benn e-mailed to me at least 15 times..

     The Ranma 1/2, Tenchi Muyo, Star Wars RPG bit, TOSS (Tales of Sal-Solo) 
had the line of "Good morning, android.", as spoken by Washuu to Nabiki. If 
I had been able to post the second bit of the teaser before the hard drive 
was reduced to the primordial sludge of 'Blank'ness, you wouldn't be so 
confused.

     Well, there's no chance in hell of that happening NOW, is there? So 
I'll tell you what's going on:

     First off, With the Washuu introduction, I was attempting to 
familiarize you with the character. I dropped in a few hints about her being 
marrried, working for the Empire, and being on some sort of ship. Time wise, 
this is the pre-Tenchi Washuu, back when she was married and had child. In 
this universe, her child was not taken from her, and neither was her 
husband. And before you rag me about the proper usage of tags, I'll remind 
you that A) this was a draft, B) It was a teaser and therefore not the real 
story, and C) I didn't want to spoil things like I am now.

     I wanted you to be confused, and wondering just what the heck was going 
on. It's called a hook. Keeps people interested, or throughly disgusted - 
depends on the person.

     So, what do you know now? Let's review: This story is set in an 
Alternate Universe. Washuu has not yet been - for lack of a better word - 
'Channafied', is married, probably has a kid, sometimes works for the 
Empire, and called her husband's second wife, Nabiki, an 'Android'. Got all 
that? Congradulations, I'm beginning to get lost myself...

     Next subject: Nabiki. Yes, by now you've probably guessed it: New 
Universe, new Nabiki. Why did Washuu call her an android? Because, my dear 
watson, she is an android. Built by her husband from smuggled parts from a 
forgotten planet, whose people have benn lost to time, She is the last 
FemnIndustries WMD (WoManDroid) left in the universe. For all concivable 
purposes, she looks, talks, and pretty much acts like the standard Nabiki 
from the Ranmaverse, with a few minor changes..

     On her left cheek, under her eye, there is a roughly T shaped piece of 
'Ardentuiaum', which gathers any type of radiation and uses it as a power 
source. Light, heat, spacial.. All become her fuel, as it were. it is a 
blue-greyish color, with light swirls.

     She can also use the Force, to some extent.. minor healing 
capibilities, and some combat uses. I don't have the full list, so don't 
ask.

     She and Washuu have a somewhat friendly rivalry going on for the 
attentions of their Husband. Also, Washuu has never been able to take Nabiki 
apart - and oh does she want to see what makes the android tick -, and 
Nabiki is jelous of Washuu's inherent powers (The sub-space keyboards, 
dimentional travel, etc.).

     And as for their husband.. we'll let that one be a suprise.. Although I 
have hinted at it quite a bit. I'm sure you all know my email addy by now, 
and the title...

<HINT HINT HINT, Wink wink, nudge nudge>

     And no, it is not an SI. He's a valid RPG Character, with his own set 
of rules. He's been around for a few years, and has quite the personality. 
I'm sure half of you will hate him, half of you will like him, and 80% of 
you will never read this, nor it, when it finally gets posted. Heh.

     So, if there are any more questions as to this, send me mail, and I'll 
answer them as best I can. Just don't ask when it is to be posted, as I have 
to re-write the entire thing now, so I don't have a clue.

     Ludricrous Configuration! Productions is still hunting for new members, 
if you wanna join, Mail me.

     Still looking for co-authors on my NGE piece.. Seems I gave an early, 
unrevised copy of it to a friend to read, so I still have it in one form.

     That's enough outta me. I'll shut up now. Good.. err.. morning.
