Subject: Burning Bright Timeline
Date: Sun, 23 Oct 1994 23:08:36 -0700
Hello!

In perperation of the Bombing of Chicago, I though that it would be good to
develop a timeline for the events described in Burning Bright. Now due to
Novemeber 15th being the date of the bomb, the need to build up to it, and
the fact that the UCAS government currently does not know abou the Universal
Brotherhood, we will have to modify the events as depicted in the novel.

I am currently finishing the book. Once I am done I will write up a timeline
that will state when many of the various events will take place. I will then
write and post new breif announcing those events. The timeline in the novel
shall be shortened, with the period between the raid on the central hive and
the detonation of the bomb being from 5-7 days. Please bare with me during
this difficult time, but order must be maintained.

Comments?

As long as it's not on TK (I want to do that), if you don't mind...I want
to do that.

Which is why I think that having the end of DE should come...well,
today. Maybe tomorrow. That would keep it relatively well on
schedule...

Only if I get to see them before hand. And that means by 9:00 PM PST the
night before they are posted.

What? The Double Exposure causes the UB to be outlawed. Burning Bright
doesn't take place until MONTHS later. That means that there is no way that
have the UB outlawed today will help keep things on schedule.

As Mike Goldberg said, a little less civilly that I would have, we are going
with his timeline. That means that DE ends on the fifth. There will then
be a mass arrest and seizing of UB people and assests on the 7th.

And of course, the bomb drops on the 15th :)

I'll see what I can do...

No way. It looked more like...well...two weeks. Maybe. I just
started re-reading it (for safety's sake), and that's what I saw...

Ought to be REALLY off, then.

Better. DE ends on the 4th. FBI finds out on the 5th, relatively
early in the day. Bannings start the 6th, are done by the 7th. City screws
itself up on the 10th. Bomb on the 15th.

Will this do?

That's not what I remembered.

I like it. But you'll have to push it back a day for the 4-7th if Mike
can't be ready by then. Mike?
