I dunno what your little friends think, but that sounds reasonable to me.
: (This, of course, begs the question as to why Tycho would behave in this

Perhaps in this timeline Durandal presenting himself as a much more dangerous and immediate threat and thus Tycho did not feel he had the leeway to contain and taunt him, but instead had to simply destroy him.

Right, you're working on a new scenario and don't want to go spewing about it and have it fail and be left with egg on your face. I understand entirely. I usually give anybody else the same advice - only reason I don't follow it myself is it's no use trying to keep a 7-year-old, on-again-off-again walking undead corpse of an epic scenario under wraps when everybody already know about it, and I can get more help just making the whole project an open book...
