Okay, I've been holding back on replying for the last day or two because I was worried this was about to devolve into a flamefest. I think we've passed the crisis point here, though.
It's too close to starting time here at work for me to jump into the large-scale reply/repikes that I want to make -- twenty minutes isn't enough for me to do the job. I'll probably have to wait until I get home tonight. But I want to address a couple of things quickly.
XenoP: If Nathan hasn't seen Lain, we'll cure that the next time he comes over our place.
Murmur: Yes, I'm trying to fit Eva into the meta-cosmology I've espoused elsewhere. I'm going to accomplish a lot of that simply by taking Anno's route and not explaining too much, and leaving some things simply ineffable. Remember, too, that I'm using aspects of In Nomine to flavor how these things work; this may smooth out some of the rough spots for you. In such a case, the Lilith in Terminal Dogma might be nothing more than an unused Vessel...
I don't want to say any more. It's still too early; the story is still in too much flux. I don't want to say "X is happening" and then have something that develops in a later part of DW5 (for instance) blow that away.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
