Hey, wait a minute <light bulb?> When is Halley's Comet supposed to come
back around? This eruption happens, what Oct. 3, 2060, or there abouts,
right? And since I haven't read the will in a while, I'll have to trust
you about the vaccine date (I remember the item, just not the date.)
If Halley's Comet is supposed to arrived during that same time frame, I
think we've found our "Night of the Comet" plotline that has been rumored.
Of course, I could be totally wrong on this, since I have no real dates in
front of me. Someone want to check into this? I suspect I'm wrong, but
it's an interesting idea, yes?

Almost guaranteed. This event alone could possibly draw them up to the AAA
tier, or maybe not. But it clearly would give them extra ammunition.

Possible. The Corporate Download book I think is focusing in on the Big
10, and depending on how much attention is paid to the Pacific Prosperity
Group, an answer of some sort might be forthcoming. But we'll have to wait
until December/January for this though...
