Prologue: Wotan, Again!

Wotan, the most recently promoted Lord of Chaos, was bored. Although he had a number of projects in the works that would significantly add to the chaos of the universe, none of them required his immediate attention. "A newly appointed Lord of Chaos shouldn't be bored", he mused. "What's the use of having all this power if I can't use it to have a little fun?!"

He realized that now would be the perfect time to complete an amusing little project he had set in motion recently. He didn't have time right now to give his full attention to creating Chaos on Earth, but there was no reason not to send along a little reminder of the Chaos that is always waiting for its turn, everywhere in the Universe.
