When I originally co-wrote this with black dub, I did not include the prologue in the story (the whole "intergalactic welcome wagon" section before the quotes). I don't think it's relevant why the apocalypse occurs; I think it's sufficient that it does occur and these characters are forced to deal with it.
dub asked Wanderer for feedback on this story back in the day and one of the things Wanderer stated was that the reason for the apocalypse absolutely had to be included. Because of that feedback, I wrote the prologue explaining what had occurred to cause this apocalypse.
Now that I have completed the explication, I ask these question:
Does this story *need* the prologue? If not, does it read better with or without it?
Any response to this post is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
