Paradise Falling... Dark Branch. Epilogue I wish to again thank the Cybersix Fan Character owners for allowing me to use the creations of their minds in this story.

I also wish to thank you, the patient reader, for taking the time to read this lengthly work of mine. It is my hope that you enjoyed reading it with as much pleasure as I wrote it.

The issue has been raised about the propriety of writing a story that diverges so radically from the vision of Carlos Meglia and Carlos Trillo, as well as TMS/NOA. I spent one sleepless night worrying about it (which led to a short bout with bronchitis).

I have decided that should either of the two Carloses or an artistic director involved with the production of the Cybersix cartoon protests the story, I will take it down immediately and issue a formal apology. I leave it to them to decide whether my work is within or outside of the vision they created or extended. If anyone else should take issue or be offended by this story, I ask that, after registering their complaint in a review, they contact the artists mentioned above and report my offense and this offer, so that they do not waste their money on lawyers unnecessarily.

I am confident, however, that the same artists capable of creating such a magnificent vision would also possess an equal greatness of mind that would lead them to read it before passing judgment or requesting that it be taken down.

I concluded that by doing this, its fate would ultimately rest in the artistic sensibilities and perceptions of the Latins, whose judgement I trust, having been raised at the altar of their Art before I knew that art existed, and in whose tradition I wrote it, not knowing any other.
