10% inspiration, 90% craziness, I think.  #%o)

As I mentioned before, we don't know what happens if the Count were to get 
it in the neck.  Does the Universe continue on as it has?  What happens to 
the other members of the Clergy?  Does the Count's continued existence 
somehow protect us from the nasties that dwell Beyond?

There, we have a cause and an effect; we just have to link the two with a 
causal chain.  OTOH, we are talking UA; case-and-effect isn't necessarily a 
given.

"'Kevin,' David interrupted, 'what the Germans should have done
was show the Russians a dead cat and ask them to explain it.'

"'That would have stopped the Soviet offensive right there,' I said.
"Zhukov would still be trying to account for the cat's death.'"
