Hey! Hey it's not easy being me!
I am giving all I have, captain! Anyway, CS is still a broke-leg dog that needs a splint(sp?), Aretha 2 is coming along, BH is coming along and Minerva is not too bad right now. I think it might be ready to be translated.
Speaking of Aretha-II, Filler has just informed me (late last night) that he is on the doorstep of sending us the fully translated and "checked-over" script. But you haven't sent me the insertion package for the very first full load test yet! (Or however you want to approach this.) But in any case, when Matt sends it along, I'll forward it right on immediately if he doesn't info both of us at the same time. He offered us an unchecked preliminary version last week, but speaking for you as well I said we'd wait for the one he fully blessed.
BTW, what's broken in CS? Am I gonna keep "Wildbillizing" Draken's story and suddenly fall off a cliff!? Anyway, I just finished polishing the Summoning Cave lecture last night. Onward to the Refining Room today, I believe is next... I was stuck on smoothing the Production and Summoning Rooms all weekend long, but the holiday is over now. Fewer distractions and ballgames now...
I did a bit of outside research to understand more about the Senju. Alan Kwan wrote a fair synopsis in 1999. Alan once helped translate some of the Magic, Destiny, Magic-Destiny, and CTC projects (predecessors of Dynamic Designs). Just for a sanity check, here is how the Summoning Room lecture goes now:
