All I have is the Force works in mysterious ways on that one. No other explanation. I didn't know about any of these, but I wasn't paying much attention to holovids or that kind of entertainment anyway. The main point I have, though, is that... the stories that are here or people here know about us are just one version. Just one glance at fanfic lets ya know that. The day someone arrives from one of those fanfic timelines will be the day everything really spills over.
See, that would be something that made this a lot better, people choosing to stay or go. There wouldn't be nearly so much fear and anguish about people going or possibly going. That would be nice.
