Jean ... a sailor in former life ... watches her knot unwind and curses. Then feeling like slow motion realizes that the last piece of rope is now out the window. And then a shout comes from a different part of the building. Jean rushes to a darker corner of the room and fiddles with her color changing camouflage tabbard so as to become as hidden as possible.
Ah! Now is when I grip my forehead in agitation and dismay.

Would we all be open to "retconning" the past several posts, or would that be jarring?
