Intro: as a heads-up, I should tell you that Sybil does not exist in this story. Vimes earned the post of commander, and he still lives in his lodgings from 'men at arms'. With the exception of this, everything is normal as it would be right up to the end of 'Night watch' (i.e. instead of a cigarette case, Vimes had his watch from MAA) Also Vimes was to retire at the end of MAA, but he decided to stay on
