Chapter Seventeen Notes

Ananda: This part was a good six months in the making (this chapter an' the next few)...it feels *so* *long* since I had them land on Gav's planet..!
The original plan here was my sister's idea: Have them go to the Digiworld. But, at the time, I was leaning more towards U2's ZooTV and the ideas behind that... And then, of course, I got to actually *writing* the silly thing and it went all over the place, taking more from Star Wars and Star Trek, setting-wise, than anything else!
Teraa and Satoru and Neo are inspired by Digimon and my sister, and her Digimon-based stories and characters. Teraa is her (well, with a touch of Ruki *g*), Satoru is Ken, Neo is from the Digimon mangas. I've taken liberties with the characters, so's she, but...yeah.
Oh yeah. The reason I *g*'d after saying "passengers" is cos that was the pseudonym that U2 and Brian Eno used on an album, "Original Soundtracks I", they called themselves "Passengers".. :)
The white feather, you will find out about..
Teraa's crest will probably not be explained here - go watch Digimon. ;) But *some* of Teraa and Satoru's history will be told..
But you'll not see much of Ianthe and Aubrey and Elisay and Piyteur and Daphne and Maik and D'rai for a little while.. *g* ..sorry, guys, but I've got four tests to do here!
I love my poor, sweet li'l Gavin..! (*sigh*...can't we keep him, guys??? *g*)
Oh, and I didn't mean to imply that it was necessarily Ráspia and Reűic that addressed them from the viewscreen in the cell.. it mighta been Ráspia in place of Teraa, but it was most likely really Neo..a semi-possessed Neo, but Neo nonetheless.
