After a bit of discomfit, the day finally arrived. The Phaedradons were in full bloom and the galaxy lay await. All that balance required was fusion between them, the Rand Corp, and the cosmic rhythms that guide we mortals. Simple, really.
The town criers locked and loaded their battle wind chimes, sending their nightmarish bells ringing out. Hearing their call, half of us strode forth, cautious, and embraced the new, albeit while sporting bespoke radiation suits and clutching the past. Then the Phaedradons shushed the Parallexabats, who were decidedly not chill about the entire ordeal and really eager to let everyone else know that.
The past writhed, for it was a new and different day, even if one caused by the events of the past. With much sound and fury, the fusion occurred, then people noisily went on with their days. The scribe smiled and whispered, “But of course it all makes sense, you’re just not paying attention.”
You’ve lost me at “it’s not very complicated”.

Things are a little wild right now, but don’t get carried away. There are many choices you can make that don’t involve Denny’s.

The scribe looked up and possibly regretted making such wild claims, particularly with regard to things making sense. Maybe from 40,000 feet they do, but that dude was really off with his initial claims. Still, though, there might be a thread in there somewhere, like really nice sheets where you can’t see the threads for the count. But I digress.
In any case, the Phaedrodons and Parallexabats will continue noisily about their days, doing whatever it is that they do, but that doesn’t mean the rest of us can’t just sit back and relax. Everything is going to be fine. Probably. If nothing else, we’re witnessing history.
