Auberon and the sins of our father

 Auberon

There's an old man with a robot arm and a lady and they're talking about being concured by Laconia.  The old man is like, nbd, new boss same as the old boss.  The lady does not share those feelings.  She feels like being concured by the Laconians really sucks.

Biryar Rinttenaur is the laconian appointed governor of Auberon.   He is trying to memorize the names and positions of government folks. The real reason he was given this position over others of similar abilities is his wife is a brilliant soils scientist. Auberon's claim to fame is they grow food real good.  

Biryar lands in Auberon's capital city and there's soldiers in riot gear lining the streets to keep him safe on his first day.  It smells like shit.  It's great for growing plants, but it smells bad.  The locals say you get used to it.  I can't imagine getting used to the smell of shit.

The old man with the bionic arm is named Erich.  Could this be Timmy's Erich?  He sure talks like Timmy's Erich.  He tries to bribe the new governer and it doesn't go well.  Usually that means he's gonna have the governer killed.  But he decides not to.kill him just yet.

Auberon is very corrupt.  

Biryar's wife, the genius soil scientist finds out that her local atache has her fingers in a lot of pies and largely the patents that have been approved in the past have all bribed her.  Also, her husband is the head of the labor union so likely they're part of a vast criminal organization.  She wants to take immediate action. Biryar says they can't do that.  They don't really have the forces to enforce much on the locals.  They have the vague threat of violence,  but that's from their super advance protomolecule ships that aren't even in this solar system.  So they gotta let these people self govern and try to create the image that Laconia is in charge with the hope that it will eventually become true.

Erich is trying to figure out a way to get the new governer under his thumb.  He's got a spy in the house and they told him that the governor was arguing with his wife.  Erich thinks maybe a honeypot is a good idea.

Mona has decided she's just gonna exert her authority. She goes to IT and says she's having trouble changing things and they give her the permissions she asks for.  First thing she does is give a bunch 9g money to a project she likes that was canned by the previous administration because she wouldn't do all the bribes. 

The governer is being interviewed by a reporter.  She kisses him.  He is not into it.  This has gotta be Erich's doing. 

Erich is now talking to the reporter about her failed seduction.  The criminals decide to dig into Mona to see if anything she does can be used against the governer. 

Governor is doing a talk on the other side of the planet.  Erich surprises him.  He shows him proof that Mona is misappropriating funds.  This is real devastating for him.  Laconian honor demands that he turn her in.  But instead he shoots Erich.  Erich has that robot arm that blocks the bullet.  Erich has successfully broken the governer.  He's gonna kill the head of Laconian security for him so they can sweep his wife's crimes under the rug. Also he screws over that lady that was blocking the science that didn't bribe her and his wife loves him even more.

The sins of our fathers 

FILIP!!!!!!!!!!

He's on some planet.  It has giant monsters that come out at night.  They charge into their walls and break stuff and it's bad.  They don't have guns so their best strategy is to burn it woth torches to encourage it to go around the camp.  It works with one,  but another one comes and charges right through the wall to the center of camp.  A guy named Jandro jumps on the thing and stabs it a bunch.  And I guess they do have a gun in the middle of town and they shoot the monster dead.

In the morning Filip's old broken body hurts real bad.  Mose says to get up, they gotta work.   Mose used to be Filip's boss before the star gate disappeared. They're still pretending he is.  Mose makes a big deal about how they aren't going to the town meeting cause their deal with the union says they don't have to.  Filip isn't as delusional as Mose.  He's going to the town meeting.

At the town meeting they vote to move the settlement cause their camp is right in the middle of the monster path.  The next day they start moving stuff but jandro doesn't do that, he and his group of tough guys start building better defenses. Everyone else sorta follows suit.  I guess democracy is dead.  Filip isn't having it.  Jandro reminds him too much of his dad to let it.go.  so he.kills him with a bomb and gets banished.

Evelyn ch 51 through end

 Ch 51

Michael is the killer.  He killed his dad and maybe his mom but that's unclear.  The plan was to have eve l yn fake her death with one of the black revolvers he took from their mom's room and then really kill her woth the other.  They're twin guns so the bullets will match.

But then there's a twist.  She drinks evelyn's scotch and dies cause it's poisoned.  Evelyn also starts getting affected by the poison but narrator has the antidote that he as Gold told him to get.

Narrator is feeling good until the footman shows up and says he should let him kill him cause he has Anna and it'll be real bad for her if narrator gives him any trouble. 

Ch 52 pg 544

This chapter is a lot.  Narrator is Daniel Davies again.  He's in a carriage with some ladies he doesn't know. They picked him up next to his car and they're heading to blackheath.  He jumps out when they get to the carriage house and he grabs a shotgun and heads to the graveyard to go after the footman.  On the way he runs into Daniel and he tells him the jig is up and he's all set to shoot him but then there's a gun in his back and another plague doctor and it's a lady.  She makes it very clear that it would be disastrous if Anna were to be the one that escaped Blackheath.   Then the real plague doctor shows up and he's all pissed off that this lady plague doctor is interfering.   He says he's got the situation in hand and she's all like hell you do.  If Anna gets out their bosses are gonna be sooooo pissed.  

Then there's other people with guns shooting at Daniel cause narrator told them about his nefarious deeds and daneiel and narrator emd up at the lake and Daniel is drowning narrator and then narrator sees the ghost of Thomas (the boy that was killed 19 years ago in case you forgot.) And somehow ends up back in his body and Anna kills Daniel and then narrator is dead again and I'm very confused.

Ch 53 pg 570

Narrator wakes up as Gold in bed with a maid.  He's usually crazy by now and attacking the butler but because of what he did different last night as Davies he's not crazy.   The maid does the walk of shame and the plague doctor shows up.  Narrator tells him Michael is the murderer and he's all cool, you won, tonight will be your last loop and tomorrow he will wake up as the real Aiden bishop. 

Narrator tries to argue for Anna and plague doctor is like, nah she's the worst.  This whole thing is a prison and she's in it for crimes against humanity. Narrator argues that she's not that person anymore and plague doctor explains that Anna killed his sister and the reason narrator volunteered to come into blackheath was to make her suffer more.  

Narrator says come to the lake at 11 and you'll see the real Anna.  In the meantime he's gonna find out who killed millicent.

Ch 54 pg 594

Narrator is having a hard time being himself, he keeps getting confused as to what he's supposed to do and he has to really focus or Gold takes control.   He has to take some time and focus on trying to save Anna and he makes his way to the gallery in the house cause knows that's where millicent will be heading.

Ch 55 pg 598

I'm a little confused now.  It's only 7:15 and Aiden as Gold goes to the hall and finds Anna and gives her a sketchbook with his events of the day listed out for her so she can take part.  But didn't she have that in previous days?  How did she have it if in those other iterations of the day narrator as Gold was insane and attacked the butler.  Also, I thought it was later in the day than this.  Greg will explain it to me. 

Ch 56 pg 604

This chapter makes more sense now, he's Gold and he still beats the butler but he does it differently than before so the footman doesn't kill the butler like he did in the previous days.  Did I mention that the footman isn't actually part of the whole prison thing?  He's just a thug that Daniel found and paid a bunch of money to to kill people.  No body jumping needed for that guy to do a bunch of murders.

57 pg 608

We're back in the butler and Anna is there tied to the radiator.  The footman shows up  and tells him he left him alive on purpose before but he's gonna kill him now.  If he tells him where and when they can get Davies he will give him a quick easy death.  He tells him Davies will be in the stables at twenty to ten.  The footman had a thug with him and he sends that guy to deal with Davies. Shenhannegans ensue after that and the footman and he as the butler end up dead but Anna is alive and free.

Ch 58 pg 617

We're back in Gold and its late at night Anna  cuts him down from being tied up and they go to the boathouse where they find lady hardcastle's body.  The next thing they reveal is that all of her children aren't Peter hardcastle's.  They're all Charlie carvers,  the Man everyone thinks killed Thomas hardcadtle if, like me, you'd forgotten.  Then Madeline Aubert (Evelyn's maid) shows up and she has a gun.  Turns out she's really evelyn hardcastle and the impression that I get is she killed Thomas hardcastle. 

Ch 59 pg 627

There's a lot of chitchat about the whole plan as evelyn leads them somewhere further away to kill them.  They're I'm a shack and the plague doctor shows up and narrator distracts evelyn by asking why she killed charles.  She's overcome with grief as she hears the news of his death as this wasnt part of the plan.  Charles was supposed to go in with Daniel on taking over Stanton's blackmail business.  This gives Anna an opening and she sacrifices herself to save narrator. At that point the lady they payed to act as Evelyn shows up and shoots the real evelyn super duper dead.

Ch 60 pg 645

Plague doctor declares them both the winners and says tomorrow they'll truly be set free.  He offers them the ability to get their memories back but warns them they might not like what they remember and they decline.  I assume they lived happily ever after.

I still don't know who poisoned the fake evelyn's drink.

evelyn ch 33 through ch 50

ch 33 - he's the butler again for one page

ch 34 - he's an old man named Edward Dance.  He meets with some other old men.  They go to meet with Old Man Hardcastle.  They're all being blackmailed by Stanton.  Hardcastle has found he has a bastard child.  If they can find the child and threaten to expose Stanton, they can stop the blackmail.  The tricky part is it's Daniel Coleridge.  If they do this they'll owe him a favor.  Aiden is in cause he knows Daniel is him.  Funny statement du jour "We climb out of one pocket and into another."

ch 35 - narrator stays behind to talk to Peter.  He tells him evelyn is going to be murdered.  Peter is concerned this will screw up their deal with ravencourt.   Peter has never heard of this other girl.  Also we get the story that the reason ravencourt wants to get married is to squash rumors that he is the homosexual.

Ch 36 pg  359

Narrator tries to get some answers from Gold, but he's strung up and unconscious.   Anna shows up.  They argue about stuff.  The note Anna gave bell to meat at 10;20 pm is a trap for the footman.  He tells her that the plague doctor told him that she will betray him.

Ch 37 pg 372

Narrator goes to the horse place to find the horseman cause he has an appointment with Lady hardcastle.   She never shows.  But he interrogates the horsemen who tells him 19 years ago that guy couldn't have killed the boy cause they were drunk at the time.  Narrator thinks lady hardcastle must have been the killer and that's why he thinks lady hardcastle is going to kill evelyn. 

Ch 38 pg 386

Ch 45 pg 455

Jim's fiance Grace Davies comes to his room and unloads about her brother driving off in the night.  His first instinct is to go after him even though he knows there's no catching up to him as he was him when he freaked out and tried to flee.  Grace gets an idea, kisses 💋 him once and runs off.

Ch 46 pg 461

Grace finds him.  They head to the house.  They run into Cunningham.  They're all friends and narrator sees Cunningham in a whole new way.  Cunningham has stolen Bell's keys.  They're gonna take all his drugs and throw them in the bottom of the well.

Cunningham and narrator as Jim go to bell's room to steal the drugs.  At one point Gold gave him a note to get some drugs.  So he gets them from Bell's trunk.  He tells Cunningham what really happened to Thomas hardcastle as he was told by Stanton.  He tells him he needs him to gather some people.

Ch 49 pg 499

Peter hardcastle is dead.  He was poisoned.

Ch 50 pg 508

Narrator figures out originally evelyn's death was a fake suicide.  She shoots herself with a blank, breaks a bottle of blood and then has paid off the doctor to proclaim her dead.  But the murderer knows this and really kills her.  Guessing by replacing the blank with a real bullet.  He tells evelyn this and tells her to make nice with Johnathan Derby cause somehow getting his silver gun is important. 

Evelyn ch 18 through 32

 Ch 18 pg 179

Ravencourts man returns and he has found the plague doctor's mask.  Philip Sutcliffe is the man's room these were found in.  Nothing else he has found out is so concrete.  He found a note to the lady hardcastle saying to stay away from Millicent Derby.   Narrator thinks it's a threat.  Ravencourts man thinks it might be a warning.

Ch 19 pg 185

Dinner is quite something.  Michael hardcastle announces that evelyn is engaged to marry lord Ravencourt. Fate worse than death if you ask me.

Ch 20 pg 195

The ball is a giant mass of people.  Doesn't feel like a sincere party.  Feels like the night before God destroyed Gomorrah. Evelyn shoots herself in the stomach with a silver pistol and falls into the reflecting pool.  Very dramatic.   Now we know how she dies.  Next is to find out why. 

Ch 21 pg 211

Aiden is back in the butler.  Anna is there and explains she's not a jumper, she just lives this one day in this maid.  She asks him when ravencourt will be alone and he tells her when to go and what to do.  She also warns him of the footman.  He tells her who he's been so far.  The doctor comes in and sedates him.

Ch 22 pg 220

I'm realizing now I'm reading the big pr8nt version cause that's what the library had available and these page numbers are probably useless to anyone else reading this.

Narrator wakes up as Johnathan Derby.  He's a short tempered little man.  He punches the cook when she doesn't immediately tell him where Evelyn is.  Narrator doesn't have as much control over his vessels as he thought.

Evelyn ch 1 theough 17

 Ch 1: couple running in the woods.  The woman is killed, the Man gets snuck up on.  He's pretty sure he's dead. But he's not.  The sneaker puts a compass in his pocket and says head east.

Ch 2 the running man is named Sébastien. He makes his way to his house and some unnamed man takes care of him.  Assuming this is some sort of nobleman as there's also mention that there's servants and this man isn't mentioned in that.

Ch 3 appearantly the name of the other guy is Daniel.  He called a doctor.  The doctor has seen a few memory loss cases in his time.  Mostly in the war.  Memory usually comes back Ina few days whether you like it or not.  Sébastien f8nds an invitation to Evelyn's party addressed to Dr Sébastien.   He doesnt feel like a Sébastien or a doctor.  Also, h3 sees a painting of monster.  Oh wait that's a mirror.  He's ugly and is disappointed. 

Ch 4 There's lots of people at this house.  This is evelyn's house and DAniel is her brother.  sebastien is trying to solve the puzzle of his identity but he's coming up blank.  There's TONS of people here and sebastien doens't recognize any of them.  there's a guy that claims to be his best friend.  I forgot his name.  Daneiel says they won't be having a search party, but "the boys" are going out hunting and they'll try to find this Anna that was murdered.

ch 5 Sebastien has a run in with a run in with a guy wearing a plague mask and he's all beware the footman.  Then he goes tot he stables and finds a note from saying don't leave Blackheath (that's what this place is called) cause lives depend on it.  It's signed by Anna.  He's now decided he needs to be at the graveyard at 10:30.

ch 6 sebastian meets evelyn.  She decides to help him out with his investigation into Anna cause she's smart and this place is boring so doing a bit of detectiving seems like as good a thing to do as anything else.  the go to talk to the butler, but he's out cold cause he was attacked by a guy with a fire place poker last night.  One of the maids is lookin at sebastian and he's like "I know you?" and she's like "nah, but i served you dinner last night" and he's all "you bring me a note" and she's like "nah but I know who did"  and evelyn is like, ooh, that's my maid, she's bringing refreshemnts to the hunters.  So we're gonna go into the woods and find her.

ch 7 they head out into the woods.  As they're walking around evelyn is all "you're so different" and he's all tell me everything and she's all you were  a dope dealer.  You sell lognum to rich people.  He doesn't love this and goes back to the house and his room and smashes open his chest and it's empty except for a chess piece with Anna carved into it.

ch 8 Sébastien gives an excuse to not attend the party.   Sneaks out to the graveyard.  Evelyn is waiting for him on the way.  She's got a gun.  They don't find Anna but they find a lantern and blood.  They go back to the house and Sébastien finds a box with a dead rabbit in it with a note from the footman.

Ch 9 this chapter is WILD!!!  Narrator wakes up and he's in a different room.  Apparently in the basement cause the only stairs go up.  He makes his way to the front door and is confronted by himself.  He doesn't say anything. He's pretty much in shock.  Someone that knows him finds him.  He's the butler and it's yesterday again.  He's running around and collides with one of these nobles and the man beats him real bad with the fire poker, just like happened yesterday. 

Ch 10 narrator wakes up and he's someone else and it's 3 am.  Plague doctor is there to tell him what's what.  He's got 8 days to solve a murder.   Every day he'll be in another body. He does the sanest thing and tries to run away.  He goes to the stables and the stable master gives him a car and directions to the  village.   It doesn't work. Plague doctor tells him the house won't just let him leave without solving the mystery. 

Ch 11 Today Narrator is a very very very very very fat man named Lord Ravencourt.  He's gonna meet with lady hardcastle today.

ch 12 Lord Ravencourt is very very very fat.  So fat that he can't get out of a bathtub himself and can barely walk.  He goes to the library and writes a notes to the other body jumpers and puts it in the encyclopedia hoping one of them will find it and write back.  he's sick of Lord Ravencourt's fat fat fat body and decides to take a nap hoping to wake up as someone else.

ch 13 HE DOES!!!  This time he's back in the Butler's body.  There's a lady that explains the rules of the video game.  He lives a full day in every body.  Every time he goes to sleep he'll wake up in the previous life he went to sleep in.  In this case, he jumps from Lord Ravencourt into the butler.

ch 14 he's back in lord ravencoirt and Daniel is there to tell him he's also a body jumper and so is Anna.  The footman is kind of a body jumper in that he seems to know who's who and always seems to win but he doesn't jump bodies he's just himself Iverson and over again.  He tells his servant to go to the dinning room and writes him a note he's to read after.  He says we're about to have a weird day and he's gonna need him to trust him.  He tries to talk to evelyn.  She's not having it.  She HATES lord ravencourt.  She's all "if you beat me at chess I'll talk to you fur reelz" He's the fat guy losing at chess that he saw on day 1.  But mostly he's losing at that point to extricate himself from the current situation.   Evelyn knows her life is in danger but seems to be ok with it.  She'd rather die with her secrets I guess.

Ch 15 narrator tells ravencourts footman that hes not revencourt and being in ravencourts body is not conducive to running around and doing shenhannegans.   So he tells him a number of things to do.  As he's walking to prepare for his meeting with lady hardcastle he starts hearing noises abd the he hears a voice say "we'll meet soon little rabbit."

Ch 16 narrator finds the maid that the Nobel that used to be a servant here was mean to.  They chat about it and she seems to feel much better.  He tells her to tell evelyns maid that he needs to speak with her and they will both be rewarded.  He's tired after all the walking and talking and sits down.  A woman hands him a glass of iced liquid.  She tells him she's Anna and to stop looking for her.  The footman is also looking for her and so the both of them looking for her is problematic.   Aiden bishop is the name she remembers from waking up.  Perhaps that's his name.

Ch 17 narrator meets Millicent Derby, who calls him Cecil. They are both wonder where lady hardcastle is as both of them had appointments that she didn't shownup to.  They hear a noise from lady hardcastles room and go to investigate.   The door has been broken into and her guns are missing and todays page of her day planner.

 Ch 35 Harry is in Russia.  The Chronos club is a bit diminished there.  When you're a time traveller that knows the communist revolution and World War 2 are coming, you get the hell out.  But there's a contact there that's hard core Russian and is going to stick around in her home country even if it's a horrible nightmare.  She tells Harry to go to a professor and blackmail him.

ch 36: Harry's attempt at blackmail was a mixed success.  The guy he's blackmailing says to come over to his office.  But there's something off in his voice and Harry's pretty sure he's getting set up.  So he says he's too far away from that office and to meet him at a subway station.  When he gets to the subway he sees people he thinks are government stooges.  So he causes a distraction and is able to get a couple seconds with the blackmailee who tells him where he thinks the bad guy is.  So Harry ditches his old ID and he's now got an ID saying he's a guy from finland.

ch 37-42:  Harry somehow gets it in his head that Vitali Karpenko is the source of the trouble.  Then he gets the idea that Vitali is at Pietrok - 112.  I think he shoots a guy.  There's train travel and a story about a time he died of drugs and picked oranges in Isreal and other such shenhannegans.  He makes it to Pietrok 0 112 and impersonates a Russian Captain and BS's his way to the commander at Pietrok-112 and tell shim to call Vitali Karpenko.

ch 43: Harry and the Commander have a fun conversation and Vitali shows up.  Seems like it's someone Harry knows as they say "fancy seeing you here."

ch 44: Guessing Vitali is Vincent Rankis as this chapter is a flashback to a time when he and Vincent went on a boat ride with a couple undergrads.

ch 45: It is Vincent.  He tells everyone else to leave the room and he and Harry have a chat.

ch 46: Harry goes to visit his biological father as he's dying.  He's a horrible man.

ch 47:Vincent shows Harry the big scary thing hes building.  He says it's a quantum mirror.

ch 48:Vincent and Harry eat chicken and debate the claptrapness of a quantum mirror.

ch 49:Harry spends some time in a jail cell and decides he'll help Vincent.

ch 50: Harry once met a guy named Fidel in Afghanastan who goes life after life fighting in wars.  In the lives where he doesn't die in war he ends up dying of lung cancer at the age of 77.  His most interesting death is being killed by a kid with a piece of banboo in the vietnam war.

ch 51: Harry tells Vincent about the message saying the world is ending and he thinks it might be because of what they're doing.  Vincent is dismissive of this.  Harry needs a vacation, so he goes to Leningrad.  He goes to where the chronus club used to be and there's just a WW2 memorial there now.

ch 52: Harry confronts Vincent about the Chronus club and Vincent admits that he destroyed their office in Leningrad.  There's a lot of back and forth about the long term affects of what they're doing here.  Harry decides he must make his escape

ch 53:Once when he was buisnesmanning in argentina he was kidnapped by people that demanded a 300k randsom from his company.  The comapny would have happily paid it, but Harry didn't feel like waiting around.  So he killed one of the guards and stole his gun and shot a bunch of other guards.  The kidnappers decide to cut and run.

ch 54: Harry decides to make his escape on foot through the Russian Wilderness.  But first he needs a gun so he can kill himself if need be.  He makes his way to the armory, knocks out he guard there, but doesn't find any keys.  He picks the lock to find that Vincent is already inside waiting for him.

ch 55: Harry wakes up in a padded room strapped to a chair.  They chitchat about their options.  Vincent says he needs Harry to tell him when and where he was born.  He says he would never forever kill him, but he needs this information so that he could so that Harry won't tell the world Vincent's plans.  Harry's first thought is that Vincent must have help from at least one other older multi-lifer.  Harry's pretty dedicated to not telling him.

ch 56: Harry is being tortured.  He convinces a seargent to give him poison.  After two and a half days Harry is now dying.  Vincent then has his brain shocked super bad in the hopes it makes him forget this life so Harry will not interfere in the next.

ch 57: Harry talks about a time he was involved in a forgettening.  The goal is to forget your past lives so you can have a fresh start.  This is accomplished with a combination of chemicals and electric shock.  The goal is to have the person with total amnesia right before they die.  The earliest one of these Harry is aware of is in 1870.

ch 58: The forgettening doesn't work.  Harry knows who he is.  He's suddenly trying to come up with different ideas as to what he could do to fake amnesia.  ln the end none of his ideas really matter because his body is not really able to function anymore and in the end Vincent tells a guard to shoot him.

ch 59: Harry is reborn and at the age of 6 tries to contact the chronus club and finds he is unable to do so.  This is very disconcerting.  Vincent must have a vast group of other life loopers that are part of his conspiracy to have accomplished this.

ch 60: Harry slinks back home with his tail between his legs.  He plays the good boy unitl 15, when he makes his way to London to do some more investigating.  He only finds evidence of a few chronus clubs around the world.  The one in London shutdown in 1909.  This makes Harry feel not too bad cause this means whoever Vincent is working with has only been able to do enough damage to undo one generation's worth of work.  He's gonna go to Vienna.
