Okay, I'll tell everyone why they -SHOULD- worry. The IE's are the basis for
many of the stories in the book. They have this attitude about "the mortals
don't need to know that yet", but at the same time they are mentioning how
"that shouldn't be yet..." has anyone woken up to the fact that things are
going to be different? And I mean really different. There are some (horrors
and allies) coming through and the "time" isn't right yet, at least that what
a few of the IE's have mentioned to -us- the SR Players (third party
omniscient is such a way to read and interpret things huh?).
I'm sorry, I'm a Problem's Analyst by trade, part of my management degree
actually...I've been paying really close attention to FASA's storylines that
they publish, and a few connections have been made.
I also have noticed, and conformed things in the games here to match, the
fact that FASA has been really great at matching a "game year" with the
"real
year", most of the time. And they don't HAVE a thousand or two-thousand
years to unveil a story line (though THAT would be great if they could).
