I doubt anyone but myself, Nikki or Chronos
will ever read this. Perhaps Jane, or Rho, or even Sal. If you are not one of
the aforementioned, it is for your sake that I include this foreword.
I want you to
know that although the world ends over the course of these pages, and although
I am so intimately linked with that end, this is not about the end of the
world. If you’re looking for a succinct account of how we got here, look to
Nikki’s notes. If you’re looking for the scientific how and why then Jane might
have some theories. I’m sure she would be happy to tell you.
You should read
on only if you want to know who Nikki and I were and what we became. This is
what I have tirelessly recorded.
I want you to
know this is about Nikki and me. Nothing more.
