Thanks! I've been on a Minutemen fic binge lately - Byron wasn't even supposed to be in this one, but after one too many excellent stories, he barged in :)

Your story is so impressive! You're always showing things at I hadn't thought to consider, pointing the camera at stuff I never would have looked at. That aspect reminds of me Neuromancer, how dense and busy it is.

Also I really love how Byron had a boner in his swim trunks and Adrian just kind of dispassionately noted it and that was that. It just seems like a very neat way to show the two of them juxtaposed, Adrian being a creepy bland cipher and Byron being random as only a truly crazy person can be. Not that non-crazy old men never sport wood at the pool :D it's just a wtf kind of sight to picture.

Thanks! Byron creeped in somehow and demanded part of the plot - I didn't want to make it hugely obvious, but said tentpole was from either actively spying on or just predicting what the other three were up to :) I wanted him to be like his GN self, but with a dash of Jon as well, sort of living in past/future all at once with his over-developed abilities to predict how things will come together. And Adrian's not quite what he thinks he is either... :)

I have such a soft spot for Byron; every time I watch him bite that orderly's arm, I well up. I prefer his boner unexplained, though, like the freaky inappropriate boners of old people and babies.

Hey, the author's dead doncha know, your interpretation's at least as valid as mine :D

didn't mean to neglect this! the plot thickens; is By playing the long game? So glad to see updates on this, man, keep em coming.
