Memories" Vorwoorts, and Bayanhong to the point of suffering serious
brain alteration at the hands of nano-probes, before Thorpe got to them.
Yes, but it took the stimulus that Thorpe offered them for the memories to

them to realize what they really were.
>I took it to mean that the Athena's Warp drive malfunction marked the chan=

time and that the interaction of the warp drive and the change in the timel= ine
acted to preserve the memories of the Athena's crew.
I deliberately left out why this happened, but it was not strictly a
malfun= ction of the warp
drive. Something external caused it, but what it was was not fully
develop= ed in my mind.
I left that for another time.

I'll keep that in mind. It's almost like I'm leading somewhere without
rea= lly knowing that I
am going there. I never really thought about those things, as I suspect it=
would take somebody
reading the stories but without all the unwritten background that is in my

to this conclusion. Maybe I'm leaning in that direction. As mentioned,
so= me ideas that
Odonans have about a possible afterlife hint at this. Perhaps a future
sto= ry might expand
on this idea.
