Notes: Oh gosh, sorry for not replying yet to comments and messages. I kept planning to and then, well, yesterday involved an emergency 11-hour experiment construction session. This is what my time has been like when I think I have time to sit down and reply to people, every single time I intend to do that. I WILL I PROMISE. Also: this wound up being the infodumpiest bridge chapter that has ever existed in the world of anything, ever. SORRY 'BOUT THAT. OOPS.

Also: if you've seen some of the recent movies, well, enjoy the references. If you haven't, the relevant stuff will be explained!
