Yes, I was referring to the Business Plot. According to family legend, they were indirectly involved with the plot. It's a long story. I wish I had put all the pieces together as a kid. Now that it's making sense, there's nobody left to ask about it.

I hate saying "On June 12, 2217, something strange will happen ..." Remember the Space, 1999 TV series? We're 20 years after that date. Likewise, we're past Marty McFly day in the future and Bladerunner, along with the original Lost in Space series and Lord knows how many campy SciFi movies that I grew up on. But that's me. I was trying to give a feel for a culture that's at least a century ahead of ours, yet not that much more. Far enough out that such a world simulation could be possible.
