This was how this timeline started and I was feeling a bit nostalgic so here's 3096, I'm going to make a better effort this time and try to catch it up with the normal timeline

I like a little bit of detail so while the timeliness approach is fine I hope to see some more stories one day.

Oh I promise you the regular timeline will return, I just wanted a break from it and to look over what I've already written.  I actually found a storyline I'd forgotten about and plan to revisit it.
