Hmm. What if the conspiracy fragments thought the immortals were an alien experiment on Earth and watned to take over running it? At which point, getting the Consortium shut down is a priority. I need to go reread the prequel (twist my arm, there!). Do you want ideas or shall I leave it be and just giggle quietly in my corner?

And condolences on your laptop, I'm so sorry to hear it!! {{hugs}}
