Interview With An Omnymphotent

INTERVIEW WITH AN OMNYMPHOTENT
 
Although many people have been visited by the Omnymphotents, we still don’t really know that much about them. They’re usually too busy driving us out of our minds with pleasure, or roping us into their sex games. It seems not many of them really like to just sit down and talk, especially not about themselves. Rumors abound, but the Omnys don’t confirm or deny much.
 
I suppose that makes me fortunate that my Omny is more platonically social with mortals. I’ve written several informative articles for the PlayNet Library based on our conversations, trying to share some basic facts with those of us who have access. The Omnys like keeping things mysterious, but I convinced mine that it might help our relationship with them to have at least some baseline understanding of where they are coming from.
 
I’m not a professional journalist, and even for this interview, the Omnys are not very forthcoming, so don’t expect much. But hopefully this glimpse of insight will do something for you.
 
______________________________________________
 
 
Don Joe: Can you introduce yourself?
 
Cyl: Hello, everyone! My name is Cyl, spelled C-Y-L, pronounced “sill” like windowsill. [Laughs]
 
 
Don Joe: I still don’t get that joke.
 
Cyl: No one does. That’s why it’s funny.
 
 
Don Joe: If you say so.
 
Cyl: I do, in fact, say so, and so that’s how it is! That’s how it works when you’re all-powerful! [winks]
 
 
Don Joe: Anything you’d like to tell us about yourself to start with?
 
Cyl: Well, I’m what you call an Omnymphotent: an omnipotent nymphomaniac. That means I can bend reality to my will, and I love having sex! I personally seem to be among the least-horny of us, but as you yourself can attest to, I can make love for weeks at a time, multiple times a month. Some of the others can’t seem to go a day without at least a quickie!
 
 
Don Joe: A quickie for you is still like a week of constant sex!
 
Cyl: Good thing we can bend time, or you poor mortals would spend your whole lives in our beds! Not that some of you wouldn’t appreciate that, I’m sure, but that’s a big reason none of us can stay with one mortal partner long-term. We need to give you a break sometime!
 
 
Don Joe: Are you unable to satisfy each other? As powerful as you are, even the hottest, most skilled men and women on the planet couldn’t possibly measure up to a woman who can bend reality with a thought and alter her body in any way she wants.
 
Cyl: We can, of course, please each other, and we often do. That said, as strange as it may sound, we can only be so contented with each others’ company. We can make love on a level you mortals can’t imagine, but it’s a different sort of feeling. When we really go at each other, we lose our physical cohesion and just dissolve into wavebands of energy rippling through each other. The feelings are indescribable, but it’s also sort of... “alien” for lack of a better word.
 
We still crave human contact because, for as powerful as we are, we are still human in many ways. We think in human thoughts, and our perceptions are filtered through a human lens. Our awareness is enhanced and our perspectives more broad, but in the end, we still have mortal minds and appreciations.
 
 
Don Joe: Hearing you describe it like that, though, I can’t imagine tactile sensations from a mere human nervous system does anything for you.
 
Cyl: I know it’s hard to believe, but there is a raw purity to the biological form in terms of sexual pleasure. Sex exists, after all, as a biological function. It’s not something fire or water or stone feels or understands. I’ve made love with my fellow Omnys in elemental forms, and the sensations are wonderful, but it isn’t the same as a man thrusting himself into me with all his passion.
 
 
Don Joe: So, you have the powers of gods, but the minds of mortals. What, then, is an Omnymphotent, exactly? You deny being actual deities, but you’re a lot more than a superhero or sorceress. Are you some incarnation of a higher being? Are you an alien? A freed genie? Some cosmic manifestation of humanity’s lust?
 
Cyl: I am a human woman, from Earth, blessed with cosmic powers.
 
 
Don Joe: And how did you get these abilities?
 
Cyl: Don’t know. I just went to bed one night a mortal, then woke up all-powerful and all-horny!
 
 
Don Joe: There has to be more to it than that.
 
Cyl: You would think so, but there honestly isn’t. Believe me, we’ve looked into it.  We’ve uncovered the secrets of the universe trying to find the answer. Insofar as any of us Omnys can tell, our Ascension is a natural phenomenon that just happens to some women.
 
 
Don Jon: There is no possible way it can be natural.
 
Cyl: Okay, maybe “natural” isn’t the right word to use here. But what I mean by that is there does not seem to be any sort of guided intelligence behind it. This isn’t happening for any reason, it’s just happening.
 
 
Don Joe: So it’s just some freak cosmic accident?
 
Cyl: As far as we can tell.
 
 
Don Jon: You just said you uncovered the secrets of the universe looking for answers. Does that mean you know the meaning of existence and all that?
 
Cyl: In a manner of speaking, yes.
 
 
Don Joe: Can you elucidate?
 
Cyl: No.
 
 
Don Joe: Why not?
 
Cyl: It isn’t really relevant to your existence.
 
 
Don Joe: It would still be nice to know.
 
Cyl: You wouldn’t get it.
 
 
Don Joe: You think that little of us?
 
Cyl: It’s not that. We know everything there is to know about the nature of reality. But as for a “meaning” behind any of it? We don’t even get it. As powerful as we are, our minds still filter things through a human perspective, if at an elevated awareness. What we saw, we can’t even formulate the questions to ask to interpret the answers given. No offense, but normal humans don’t have the sensory or processing capacity to even perceive the answer.
 
 
Don Joe: Try me.
 
Cyl: Okay. The answer to everything is ________.
 
 
Don Joe: Uh… what?
 
Cyl: It’s ________.
 
 
Don Joe: I don’t… uh…
 
Cyl: See?
 
 
Don Joe: Can you write it down?
 
Cyl: It won’t help, but I can. [manifests a piece of paper with… something… on it]
 
 
Don Joe: What the fuck?
 
Cyl: I know, right?
 
 
Don Joe: So we’re just doomed to live in ignorance?
 
Cyl: Not necessarily. Human imagination and curiosity has brought your species this far. It’s what will continue to help you grow. But you can’t expect some higher being to just give you the answers. You literally cannot appreciate it until you figure it out for yourselves. We still haven’t and we’re as close to actual Goddesses as a human can get.
 
 
Don Joe: You may as well be Goddesses, given all your powers. Some wonder why you haven’t announced yourselves to the wider world. You could easily rule over all humanity, but instead, you hide yourselves from most of the public.
 
Cyl: [smiles a bit ruefully] That’s not the relationship we want with humanity: constantly pestered by billions every day for divine favors, the masses expecting us to just solve all their problems for them, for us to play favorites between groups, to be okay with people doing horrible things in our names, or to worship us solely because they’re terrified of what we will do to them if they don’t. That’s not a burden any of us want, and we’re not obligated to fulfill it just because we have these powers.
 
Before you point it out, yes, I know that sounds callous. But trust me, you don’t want a bunch of horny Goddesses taking over the world. We’ve run the numbers. It never goes well.
 
 
Don Joe: Why not?
 
Cyl: I would really rather not talk about it, and frankly, you don’t need to know.
 
 
Don Joe: Well, that’s just going to make people even more curious.
 
Cyl: Well, too bad.
 
 
Don Joe: Alright. Fine. Could you at least answer some specific questions about the universe?
 
Cyl: You can ask, I’m not necessarily going to answer. Or give you the answer you want.
 
 
Don Joe: Is there a God? Or Gods? Something above you? Or other beings like you?
 
Cyl: There are… other things. You don’t need to worry about them. We’ve made sure they aren’t going to mess with Earth.
 
 
Don Joe: So there is a God?
 
Cyl: You mean like in the Bible?
 
 
Don Joe: Bible, Quran, ancient stone tablets, whatever. Are any of them real?
 
Cyl: No comment.
 
 
Don Joe: Fine. Are there aliens?
 
Cyl: Yes.
 
 
Don Joe: Where are they?
 
Cyl: On other planets. Duh.
 
 
Don Joe: What are they like?
 
Cyl: No comment.
 
 
Don Joe: Come on, you can’t even tell us about one?
 
Cyl: You’re never going to meet them.
 
 
Don Joe: Really? Why not?
 
Cyl: Humanity isn’t going to last long enough.
 
 
Don Joe: We’ll go extinct first?
 
Cyl: In a sense; by the time Earthlings meet any extraterrestrials, the human race will have evolved into something else. And that’s all I’ll say about that.
 
 
Don Joe: So we do “make it” as a species, then?
 
Cyl: Yes. At the very least, you last long enough to make it to the next step.
 
 
Don Joe: All on our own, or do you Omnys maybe have a hand in that?
 
Cyl: [smiles slyly] Well, as I said, we aren’t going to interfere with your natural development, but we do have a vested interest in seeing humanity continue to thrive. Suffice to say Earth doesn’t need to worry about any major meteor impacts for a long, long while.
 
 
Don Joe: I guess you are looking out for us a little bit, huh?
 
Cyl: In the broadest sense, yes, we are keeping your planet safe.
 
 
Don Joe: I guess we owe you one.
 
Cyl: [waves dismissively] Oh, you don’t owe us anything. [laughs and winks] Well, lots and lots and lots of orgasms would be much appreciated!
 
 
Don Joe: I’m sure we can accommodate you.
 
Cyl: [winks] Want to right now? You’ve been hard as a rock this whole time, and it’s a little distracting!
 
 
Don Joe: You’re telling me. But maybe a few more questions.
 
Cyl: Aw, you tease!
 
 
Don Joe: Hey, you’re the one who wears nothing but loose robes and bikini’s all the time.
 
Cyl: I’ve never heard you complain!
 
 
Don Joe: We’re getting off track. Next question: how big is the universe?
 
Cyl: Pretty big.
 
 
Don Joe: Infinite?
 
Cyl: Depends on how you define the borders, I suppose.
 
 
Don Joe: What does that mean?
 
Cyl: No comment.
 
 
Don Joe: What about—
 
Cyl: Don, I don’t really think your readers are all that interested in dissecting the make-up of the universe. If I may be a little self-absorbed, I think they want to know more about us Omnys. Don’t you have any fun, cheeky questions? Like, say, “what’s your favorite position?”
 
 
Don Joe: You might be surprised. There’s just so much you could show us.
 
Cyl: It’s Missionary, believe it or not. As powerful as I am, there’s nothing quite like being mounted and railed by man, just laying back and letting him give me all he’s got as he looms over me!
 
 
Don Joe: Fine. Moving on.
 
Cyl: [giggles] Your cock sure liked that answer!
 
 
Don Joe: Well, while we’re on the subject, one thing I just can’t get over is your singular obsession with sex. There are supposedly dozens of you Omnys, and every single one of you is a raging horn dog.
 
Cyl: [laughs] Are you complaining?
 
 
Don Joe: No, but look, I can almost accept there being some, I don’t know, global quantum waveband fluctuation that specifically reacts to the atomic structure of human double-X chromosomes, and more specifically those with just the right genetic sequence, and it connected you all to the fabric of the universe or whatever—
 
Cyl: Well that’s certainly one theory! [laughs]
 
 
Don Joe: —or whatever, but the fact that every single one of you immediately starts pursuing sex as your foremost obsession, that’s just where it breaks for me! How is it that all of you are so driven by the exact same base desire?
 
Cyl: Sex is fun. Why wouldn’t we seek it out?
 
 
Don Joe: You know what I mean! Surely at least one of you wouldn’t prioritize sex over everything else.
 
Cyl: I can tell you that when I Ascended, I woke up so horny, I thought I was going to die! I spent weeks masturbating and fucking Created partners to cool down. All of us wake up like that. I guess whatever funnels this power into us does it in a way that resonates with whatever brainwave frequency our sex drives are on.
 
 
Don Joe: Would you say the power makes you that horny? Or were you all hypersexual already, and maybe that’s also something the power is drawn to?
 
Cyl: It might be a little of both. Talking to the others, we all had stronger than average sex drives for women, but only a few of us were really what you’d actually consider hypersexual. I would say I probably masturbated a lot for a woman, but I only ever had a few casual flings with guys. I wasn’t really desperate for dick all the time or anything.
 
 
Don Joe: And now you are?
 
Cyl: [laughs] Desperate? No. Now I can just have it whenever I want it!
 
 
Don Joe: So what do you do when you guys aren’t having sex?
 
Cyl: Foreplay! [laughs]
 
 
Don Joe: No, seriously, is this literally all you do? Have sex? You don’t use your powers for anything else?
 
Cyl: We create things, of course. A lot of us make our own little Worlds, for example. We also explore the universe sometimes. We do other stuff that isn’t really your business.
 
 
Don Joe: So how much does sex actually occupy your time? It seems like it’s all any of you ever care about, but it sounds like maybe that’s just because that’s the only context we get to see any of you in. So do you have, like, a day job or something? Are these sex flings on Earth just little vacations from a higher existence?
 
Cyl: No. Between sex sessions, we mostly just hang out. We don’t really have any responsibilities, unless you count checking in on our creations from time to time. The exact amount varies between us, but I would say the majority of our time is spent in some kind of sexual pursuit, even if it’s a prolonged roleplay session that takes a while to get to the actual sex.
 
 
Don Joe: Is there really no other human activity you enjoy?
 
Cyl: I’m enjoying talking to you right now.
 
 
Don Joe: Thanks, but you know what I mean. You don’t have human jobs? You don’t hunt or sew or play video games or raise families or go to school?
 
Cyl: Oh, we certainly have our own little luxury hobbies we indulge in. We roleplay, like I said, and while it usually leads to sex, we can take our time enjoying the role for a while first. But we can know whatever and make whatever, so there isn’t really any point in seriously dedicating ourselves to learning a craft or doing a job. And none of us are fit to form families with mortals.
 
 
Don Joe: One might argue that there’s not much point to sex when you’re so powerful you can crush galaxies with a thought.
 
Cyl: [laughs] Who told you we could do that?
 
 
Don Joe: Can you?
 
Cyl: Well, yeah. That’s not very sexy, though.
 
 
Don Joe: This is what I mean! You can literally shatter the rules of physics on a vast cosmic scale just by willing it! Why on Earth would something as simple as pleasure from a human nervous system even register to you?
 
Cyl: [shrugs] Well, for whatever reason, it does. We like it. I like having sex with mortals. I like it when they make me cum, and I like making them cum. Do we need any other reason?
 
 
Don Joe: [sighs] It just doesn’t make sense to me. It’s like having a trillion dollars, but you only ever spend that money one quarter week, and only ever on cheap gumballs from a dispenser in some run-down mall.
 
Cyl: Look, I’ll level with you: the universe isn’t all that exciting. From our perspective, it’s a vast amount of nothing, broken by bits of dirt and ice and radioactive fire. It’s pretty in its own way, but it doesn’t stimulate the way intimate contact with another person does. Also, your metaphor was terrible.
 
[Cyl blows a gum bubble, despite not having been chewing any gum before. Once it pops, it vanishes.]
 
 
Don Joe: I guess I just want to clarify, you Omnys do have lives outside of having sex, right?
 
Cyl: I mean, we like what like, and nothing’s stopping us from having all the sex we want, so why wouldn’t we spend most of our time having it?
 
 
Don Joe: I just can’t imagine sex is that interesting. That anything is ever that interesting, that you can do it all the time and not get bored, no matter how much you spice things up with your powers. With how much you all bend time for your sessions, some of you have probably been at it for collective centuries by now, from your perspectives. Doesn’t it ever get old?
 
Cyl: You know what gets old? Exploring an infinite void. Cumming? Never. I could just orgasm for a thousand years and be perfectly happy.
 
You only think it would get tedious, because your mortal brain and body is all gunked up with these systems that constantly restrict your actions. You body is designed to get tired of doing one thing forever, because the limits of mortal existence require you to have other social concerns and bodily needs that must eventually be addressed. Evolution installed boredom as a survival mechanism.
 
We Omnys have no such limits. Despite still having mostly human thought processes, we aren’t hindered by the setbacks a mortal body would inflict on us. We don’t really get bored, and we don’t suffer from the hedonic treadmill. We are able to fully enjoy doing one thing indefinitely, and that thing we’ve all agreed we like best is sex.
 
 
Don Joe: But even so, you still don’t do it all the time, so surely you must experience some degree of boredom? Or else you’d just have sex non-stop forever.
 
Cyl: It’s less that we get bored with sex, and more that we just get interested in doing something else for a while.
 
 
Don Joe: That kind of sounds like you got bored.
 
Cyl: [sighs] Boredom isn’t just wanting to do something else, it’s a degree of tedium and resentment, a desire to specifically not want to do something anymore. That’s not really the case for us. We’re always up to ball, but we do actually have other things we want to do as well, and we have eternity to get our rocks off, so there’s no rush to get all of our orgasms in one millennia-long go.
 
Besides, there are limitations. Sex with other Omnys has its issues; we have to cool off from each other after a certain point. As for mortals, we can only have sex with them for so long before it becomes truly too much for them; they’ll either die or go completely insane, even with our protections bolstering their stamina and durability and willpower.
 
Sure, we can reset them back to normal without a problem, but most of us don’t want to hurt you like that, and even those who don’t care find it a buzzkill for the session to get disrupted. So for the mortal’s sake, we stop before it can get to that point.
 
 
Don Joe: Wow. Um. Hmmm. That’s rather harrowing to know.
 
Cyl: Sorry, too much information?
 
 
Don Joe: Just puts things into perspective.
 
Cyl: Not in a bad way, I hope.
 
 
Don Joe: Yes and no? You’re very overwhelming beings, but for all that, it does seem like you’re all being extremely gentle with us, compared to what you could do. On the other hand, I know some of the Omnys act on people without their consent, or under very dubious circumstances. I imagine they might care less about mortal limits.
 
Cyl: Yes, well, personally, I’m not a fan of outright non-consent, though I do realize every Omny-mortal coupling is unavoidably dubious just from the reality of the power gap. But the thing is, we know who we play with. Even those who force themselves onto mortals, they do it to people who like to be taken, even if they don’t know it yet, or try to hide it. We’re all overwhelming to mortals, and yes, some push their lovers past their comfort zones. But when all’s said and done, most of our chosen lovers don’t regret the experiences we give them. And we always clean up our messes when we’re done; even the most domineering of us has no desire to actually ruin or seriously disrupt a mortal’s life.
 
 
Don Joe: You don’t always put things back quite the same as you found it, though. You Omnys are known to sometimes bless people with superhuman powers or create new beings. You sometimes allow these Empowerments or Created to persist after you’re done with your sex games.
 
Cyl: As long as those Empowered and Created can keep their abilities or inhuman natures secret from the wider public, we see no reason not to let some of our lovers have some extra fun on their own!
 
 
Don Joe: And is there a reason you all only ever seem to Empower or Create women?
 
Cyl: We’re sexist.
 
 
Don Joe: Is that actually your answer?
 
Cyl: [laughs] I mean, interpret it how you will, we just find women more trustworthy to keep the power.
 
 
Don Joe: In what sense?
 
Cyl: Well, women generally want to live secure, stable lives. You give them power, and they’ll use it for a bit of fun, but otherwise just use it to protect their homes and families for the most part. You give men power, and they always seem to feel the need to do stuff with it, you know? Give a woman a gun, she’ll keep it in her drawer or her purse for self-defense. Give a man a gun, he’ll carry it around looking for an excuse to use it.
 
 
Don Joe: Wow, okay, that is sexist. You know not all men and women are like how you described?
 
Cyl: Yeah. Obviously. That’s why we make exceptions. There’s a few men we’ve Empowered or Created, and there’s plenty of women we haven’t. But broadly speaking, this is our impression of humanity. I know it’s not fair, but that’s just how we prefer things.
 
[chuckles] Of course, some of the other Omnys just do it because they’re femdom fetishists. But for what it’s worth, we give all our Playthings the health boost, and a lot of our persisting Created are devoted partners for men, so I think it evens out more than it looks like at first.
 
 
Don Joe: I see. Do you feel any responsibility towards those you’ve Empowered or Created? To keep an eye on them incase they stir up trouble?
 
Cyl: Sure, but we set up systems in place to keep things from getting out of hand. The Masquerade, as you once called it. Keeps any of them from getting into real trouble, keeps the world at large from finding out about us all. This way we don’t have to keep manually undoing every little accident that might happen.
 
We don’t Empower or Create anyone who would really cause problems anyway. We always check first. If we do decide to play with and Empower someone who’s riskier, it’ll be temporary, and during that time we’ll usually take them to one of our Worlds, where they can act out safely.
 
Also, I’ll let you in on a little secret: a few of those Empowered and Created you may have heard of are actually us Omnys playacting.
 
 
Don Joe: Really?
 
Cyl: Oh yeah. We can be anyone and anything we want, after all, and sometimes it’s a nice little challenge to see what we can do with a limited powerset. [waves dismissively] Don’t worry, though, when we do it, it’s always as a stranger for short flings. If your wife has been Empowered, we didn’t body-snatch her or anything.
 
 
Don Joe: On that note, this leads to the biggest questions: how many of you actually are there? With your powers you can, as you just said, take different identities, and you can be multiple places at once at the same time through time manipulation or self-duplication. A lot of people have theorized that you’re actually all the same woman, and every Omny we’ve seen so far is just you in different guises.
 
Cyl: It would be pretty easy for one of us to just play all the rest.
 
 
Don Joe: So, uh, what is it? Are you all one woman in different guises? If not, how many distinct entities are there between you?
 
Cyl: You know the funny thing? We could all be the same woman, and just think we’re separate. We have occasionally taken on new identities and made ourselves temporarily forget who we really are, or we’ve created a duplicate to engage in such activity. It’s a fun way to experiment, sometimes, but it also means there is a real chance we’re all just duplicates who don’t realize it.
 
In that sense, even though we feel quite assured of our own core identities, we don’t know for absolute certain whether or not we may just be fragments of a singular Goddess.
 
 
Don Joe: How likely do you think that is?
 
Cyl: How like do you think it is?
 
 
Don Joe: None of this is at all likely! But it might explain why you’re all so sex-obsessed. It’s a little easier to believe you’re all one horny goddess in an endless number of erotic roleplays than to believe there’s dozens or hundreds of you just happen to have the same obsession, regardless of background and all being so powerful.
 
Cyl: You’re really hung up on that detail, aren’t you?
 
 
Don Joe: It just seems way too specific, not to mention ludicrous, for it to not be deliberate. It just makes too much sense for Ascension to be the result of some cosmic pervert’s desire.
 
 
Cyl: [laughs] Well, there is also the possibility that we’re all one Omny’s exceptionally powerful Created, and only think we were once human. Or that we’re her exceptionally blessed Empowered, and she’s hidden that fact from us.
 
 
Don Joe: Does that scare you at all? The fact that for all your power, you might not actually even be who or what you think you are?
 
Cyl: We don’t really worry about it. However it happened, we are what we are now, and we enjoy our current existence very much. I am secure enough in my own identity that however I was born, so to speak, my life circumstances still made me my own person. When reality is literally what you can make of it, than there’s no point fretting over the ephemera of anxious philosophies.
 
 
Don Joe: Hmmm. Deep.
 
Cyl: I try.
 
 
Don Joe: Is there anything you're afraid of?
 
Cyl: [pauses and thinks for a moment]
 
 
Don Joe: You, uh, don’t have to answer, obviously.
 
Cyl: No, no, it’s just… it’s a weird question, I guess. We’re so powerful, we don’t think about it very much. But there’s been times… [she looks off to the side and puts a hand to her left eye for a moment, before looking back up to answer]
 
There are “other things” out there, like I said. Some of them in this universe, some of them in other dimensions. Nothing we can’t handle, but I guess they would sort of be our equivalent to a monster. We can hear them scraping at the walls of reality sometimes. We’ve reinforced those walls to be pretty much impenetrable, though, so we’re not really worried about it. Rest assured, Earth has nothing to fear from such things.
 
What? What’s wrong?
 
 
Don Joe: You just looked kind of haunted for a moment.
 
Cyl: Dealing with those things can be very unpleasant. And no, I’m not going to elaborate further. But don’t let it bother you. We’ve got you covered.
 
 
Don Joe: Fair enough. Still, sounds like we really do owe you one.
 
Cyl: [grins] Well, once we’re done, I’ll be very happy to let you show your appreciation!
 
 
Don Joe: I don’t really have anything to follow that up with, so yeah, we’re done. Thanks for doing this.
 
Cyl: You’re quite welcome! Now get over her and fuck me like a jackhammer!
 
______________________________________________
 
Thus concludes the interview. I can’t say I found it particularly enlightening, but maybe it helped shed some new light on things for those of you who’s Omnys aren’t so forthcoming. Maybe it’ll even be a comfort to those who might be having an existential crisis over it all. Probably not, though. Whatever your situation with your Omny, I hope she’s treating you well.
 
And if you’re someone who’s stumbled upon this article, and others from the PlayNet, be warned: you might be in for a visit soon. It may all seem like some weird pervert’s porno fiction, but I assure you it’s all real. Earth is now the playground of cosmic hedonists. If you’ve been allowed to discover this fact, and if you actually believe any of it, and the idea turns you on, you’re probably in for a hell of a time. Good luck and godspeed.
