Synopsis: Prequel to the 2006 effort, or "The True Tale of How the Cyborgs Came To Be in the Kayaks" if a title is a requirement.

This will be something special. I felt nearly certain of that. In years past I have gone into November with some vague notion what I would write. This year will be different. I had even scheduled 45 minutes on October 28 to choose a genre. Yet I found the genre and the plot changing on November 1. What's a NaNoNovelist to do? ;)
