Two questions
- 1: Were those clockwork robots, by any chance, Supreme Alliance work? We know from The Talons of Weng-Chiang that the Three Laws of Robotics were not very popular in the fifty-first century.
- unless the story itself says so specifically, I think we can assume that they had nothing to do with each other. (good rule in general.) remember the hugeness of space or even of Earth for that matter.
- 2: In the mind meld, Madame de Pompadour MUST have seen the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. How could that not have changed things? - Tawaki 20:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- definitely a plot hole which the story itself obviously doesn't address. it doesn't address, leave it that, unless you want to make note of it as a plot hole. 76.24.20.92 20:53, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
