"QAI-TI"? How amusingly homonymic of you... (and reminds me of an ingressed troublemaker, most recently known as JCN... 😛)

Yeah - I've been wondering about them! Are they quantum entangled with the rest of their brigade? Or have they switched all that off because they're renegades? Intriguing to see where you're going with all that...

And I'm not surprised you liked the homonymics there. 'Kay' just seemed like a lovely transliteration, so I stuck with it.

Hold on a minute, you crafty bugger, I now realise you haven't told us what JCN stands for, or even that it was a homonymic. Doesn't that make me look like an idiot! So come on then, out with it, it's bean-spilling time.

Might I refer M'lady to exhibit A, and ask that in future she pays closer attention to the written evidence, most of which is crucial to the unfolding plot :

"J…C…N…. Get it?"

Oh yeah - I'd forgotten that bit. It was last September after all.

I shall consider myself reprimanded, and refresh my memory circuits.

Tantalisingly realistic and plausible. I do feel you are deserving of a far greater audience given the depth of your work on this universe you're sharing with us.

It does require me to be in the right frame of mind to settle into it for a proper and careful read, however. which is not always the frame of mind that I am in.

vast and enjoyable. like a whole marinated curried lamb pilau i once enjoyed with 20 odd friends.

That's a lovely thing to say, Nick. Thank you.

I know what you mean about right frame of mind though. So take your time - as one should with a delicious lamb pilau... Which reminds me, we haven't had curry yet this week...

You and your methi leaves!

Still, I shall be doing a curry tonight, so that’s sorted.
