Abrubtly halted.

Option 2 is a necessity sometimes, but save it fora last resort.

#1 is a pain -- I'm stuck with it on a few stories.
#3 is a double pain, as you have to make certain to keep us straight throught the jump, but quite doable.

Can't face #1 and I am doing this for fun so that's out. Hence I combine #2 and #3. Same back story but a few years down the line and focusing on just a small unit. The grand story happens in the background. Give it a try, see if I enjoy writing it. So away with you, to the new story!
