It appears to have been 332 years subjective\ntime (III,173) and 1000 years objective time (III,242); which in turn\nsuggests an average speed of around .95 c (95% of light speed).  (Time\ncompression, doncha know.)\n\nRe: arrival time.  It seems that the time of the theocide would be\nthe best marker of when the Whorl arrived in the Blue/Green system,\nand that would be about thirty years before the action of THE BOOK OF\nTHE LONG SUN.  OTOH, Quetzal became head of the chapter thirty-three\nyears ago (see character lists), so maybe this is a better marker?\nStart at shipboard year 299 and count backward enough for an\nanonymous beef-tea sipping augur to rise through the ranks to become\nhead of the chapter.  (The last guy died at his desk, you say?  My,\nmy, my!)\n\nRe: NYRSF, maybe you could post a bibliography of Wolfe related\narticles published in NYRSF through the years?  Along with ordering\ninformation!\n\n=mantis="
