(Moment of smugness coming on) I find it very satisfying to see this story through to the end. Having read back on it I can say that I am actually very pleased with the way it has turned out. I don't normally feel that way about my stories so that tells me I must have got something right. But then again really its up to the audience to make a final call on that point. I just hope you are enjoying the journey. To try and aid those who have come to this story late in the day I have created a folder which I am gradually moving all the old pages to. Please bare with me as I am only up to page 115 at the moment- I am sure you understand! Anyhow, today we learn about light cones and why if the sun exploded right now we would not know about it for eight minutes or so...and then we would probably wish we didn't know as vaporisation would come just milliseconds later. Inform, educate and entertain is my motto. Dalek motif (C) 1963 The BBC and Terry Nation Estate Dalek characters createsd by Samtherapy and Mechmaster
