(unpublished notes, apparently written by Saotome Ranma, about YOLD 3156) Took me long enough. I've written papers about the Ethiopian Incident, about the small blonde girl who stopped the Italians in 1936, who used combat magic for the first time in modern history, who scared the Japanese into a neutral possition in world affairs, out of China, and into being much nicer to the Koreans. She showed up _two months_ ago. Along with a great entourage of people, a couple of whom were recognizeable from the 1936 footage. Of course, knowing someone is sixty five million years old, and knowing she's been making messes throughout recorded history are two different things. Thinking about the mess that would have resulted if she hadn't done that. Scary. But still, she waved me off. (different page, perhaps written earlier) Venus showed up today. I should have know she'd have survived. Oldest critter in the solar system and all that. --- log: 3167/Chaos/70 file created, started 3172/Aftermath/24 Tiny edit
