Okay, I'm just leaping in on this one point. Remember Aztlan??? There is an
old parable about "Smoking Mirrors" and their entire religious discourse. It
is the basis for the now going on 10 month PBEM (whew, and they are finally
getting into the lab area) that I'm running. There is also a thought about
"attracting alternate beings", as in, "X" being is the original from
-this-
dimension, while "Y" being is from -that- dimension. They are each other's
"Mirror Selves" as it were.

Basically, I am looking at this from a potential plot-point POV....
