Damn.

I had lost track of Ra until this comment implied that it was completed.

So I read the ending and was soundly disappointed. It had the same ending as an earlier short story of his.

Ah well. I guess it's time to write off sam512 for the foreseeable future.

When the final chapter of Ra was released, I also felt pretty disappointed, so I went back over the story, trying to figure out where it went wrong. I concluded that the turning point was Abstract War, and actually came up with an explanation of everything before Abstract War that made more sense to me than Sam's explanation. It was pretty fun! I've posted it on reddit here.

Well done! That makes a great deal more sense.
