Hi to all moonies out there! Let me introduce myself.

I'm Commander Galos (Pretty lame nickname, eh?), and I'm from Mexico. How do I 
know about Sailor Moon, you ask? Easy, it's one of the top TV shows around here!
I've been watching it since chapter 1, all through Chapter 200! Yes, over here, 
we saw the whole series... and not the DIC version, but the original one without
censorship! 

Well, enough about me. This is just to make things clearer for you, dear reader,
so you won't get confused while reading this fanfic. BTW, this is my first 
attempt at a fanfic, so please, bear with me, ok? ^_^

Let's enumerate the things on this fanfic to make it easy, deal? Ok, here we 
go...

1. - The organization I thought for this story is the MRMA, and that stands for 
Multiple Reality Monitoring Agency. It's an entity dedicated to observe, catalog
 and distribute the knowledge gathered all over the Multiverse. What Multiverse,
 you ask? Sailor Moon's Multiverse, that one! You see, I consider all the 
different stories about SM as observations of other universes, where anything 
is possible. Think about it a little, and you'll see my point. 

2. - The universe I based my story is the one created by another great fanfic 
writer. Yohann DeSabrais, and his fanfic goes by the name "Cycles of Life". He 
was kind enough to let me play with his characters, namely Robin Redwing and 
Laurella Hammerson. On this scenario, Tomoe Hotaru (a.k.a. Sailor Saturn) died, 
and a superpowerful race of beings called the Technum Guardians (who 
incidentally, were the original creators of the Sailor Scouts/Senshi) decided 
to create a replacement for her, namely Robin. Also, he thought of creating 
another Scout/Senshi. The planet is named Jendra, and originally, was the planet
that orbited between Mars and Jupiter, now known as the Asteroid Belt. If you 
want to know more about this, read his stories. They are pretty good! He's 
posted at Sailor Moon Romance. Look for him! You won't be disappointed, I can 
assure you that! And no, I don't consider myself a great fanfic writer!

3. - I decided to use a combination of their original Japanese names and North 
American expressions because... I just wanted to! Hey, after all, this is my 
fanfic, and I can use whatever literary rules I want, as long as it doesn't 
affect seriously the identity and interaction of the characters, not to mention 
to do it with good taste. But you be the judges of that one, ok? 

4. - Just like in Yohann DeSabrais' stories, I started naming them Scouts, and 
after they evolved into a more powerful form, I named then Senshi. Why? Because 
I wanted to respect Mr. DeSabrais' wishes. After all, he originally thought 
them that way, and why would I want to mess up with that?

5. - Some of the equipment and technologies I mention here are taken from 
videogames. Namely, from the companies Microsoft, Microprose, Square, GT 
Interactive, and many others. So, this paragraph is in reality a disclaimer.

6. - As you already know, Sailor Moon and related characters are property of 
Takeuchi Naoko-chan, Toei Animation and many other powerful people out there, 
and I'm not making any money from this, so please, don't sue me. I'm only using 
them for a little while.

7. - Robin Redwing, Laurella Hammerson, Technuma Saturn and Kitechnum Jendra 
are characters             created by Yohann DeSabrais. If you want to use them,
 ask for his permission. He's a good person, so if you ask him nicely, he'll 
grant it, with his blessings. Just treat his characters with respect.

8. - The MRMA, Lieutenant Yohann Starr, Commander Galos, the Leviathan, Earth 
Base Gaia and other characters that will pop out during the developing of this 
story, are my property. So, if you consider using them, please ask me first. 
You can use them as long as you ask for my permission. And the same I said on 
the above paragraph applies here. Treat them with respect.

9. - This is the only author's note you are going to read for quite some 
chapters. Don't you hate long   introductions during the beginning of a fanfic? 
I sure do!

10. - Well, that's all. Any comments, constructive criticism and more can be 
sent to my e-mail address: gabinol@infosel.net.mx


And now, if you've read so far... what are you waiting for? On with the show!!
