Author's Notes: My thanks to my amazing betas,
rez_lo and
calculare, who lent me their time, concrit, and cleverness. Thanks also
orange_crushed for her enthusiasm and ideas on writing Skynet. For the significance of the number nine in Taoism, my reference was Kristofer Schipper & Wang Hsiu-huei's essay 'Progressive and Regressive Time Cycles in Taoist Ritual'. The book it can be found in, Time, Science and Society in China and the West, is well worth a look, if you're interested in that sort of thing.
