And how far away from > Port-Mimizon--more than a stone's throw, don't you sense? So how > extra weird for the junior officer to think, "Ah, that cemetary cat > from capital city . . . let's see if I can plug him with my trusty > pea-shooter." > What's this, "The Incredible Journey"? One half-blind cat walks > across the continent (or maybe just thirty miles) seeking revenge . . > . he's pissed because Pluto is a dog name . . . oh yeah, happens all > the time here in the hallowe'en country says officer abo griffith. My assumption was that a military garrison outside Vienne, between it and the harbor, is where all the "real-time" interludes take place in V.R.T., i.e., being home to the junior officer, Cassilla, the sold outsourced Wolfe clone, et al. Wouldn't be the first time I bollixed up my fictional geography should this turn out to be wrong. (Pssst.) You're getting warmer... Robert (who's not a Leo, but the V one) ---
