Third History Lesson

[make_history_chew_scenery]

[After that little hostage situation, Jeremy can be seen walking around and wearing slightly more than he usually does.  Along with his pants, he's also wearing... bandages.  A lot of medical bandages wrapped around his midsection.  Turns out that quite a few ribs had been cracked when he'd been squeezed roughly, with nothing but the power of HAM keeping him going.  He's not looking too happy though.]

Wearing all this excess material... it's almost as if I'm being smothered!

[So says the man who can count the number of times he's worn a shirt in the past year on one hand.  But there's more on Jeremy's mind though, and when he returns to one of his preferred reading spots, he's cracking open two books.  One: The Art of War.  Two: one volume in a multipart series covering the actual events during the conflict popularized in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.  The stuff with Gucun's making him want to start from the ground up, and hopefully find a way to help Cheng by turning to one of the past's biggest accounts on chronic backstabbing.]

Han Zhi is nothing more than a usurper and a despot, his public support be damned!  He is not the first man in history to stage an uprising such as this, and many that came before him have failed in time.

I will not give up.  I will not see the troubled tale of Gucun end in such a way as this!

[And Jeremy's just going to smile at that idolization.]

I saw to it that my body was strengthened alongside my mind! Far too often men of science are thought to be weak and frail, yet many times that is not the case... in fact, Dr. Neils Bohr was an Olympic-level gymnast!

A famous 20th century physicist. If I had the time perhaps I could give you a brief, but still enlightening recap of his contributions to science... but alas, my current task is too pressing!

A history lesson. For those whose very career involves cataloging and recording the past, it is even more important than for most.

The incident in Gucun was severe, and the proper course of action may be difficult to figure out. Thus, I'm immersing myself in the past of the region, to remind myself of that which served as the foundation for war and politics for China!
