So... What happens in East Asia? And how advanced are they relative to the world?

I guess this will be explained soon. Wait a bit.

Unforeseen complication

Last night while I was working on the completion of Part Six of the Timeline and on the stats, there was a power surge and the computer shut off. I tried to turn it on again, but it went on and there was nothing - literally nothing - and nothing worked at all. It was just a blank screen.
So I'm assuming, probably correctly, that either a circuit inside was blown out or shorted out, or something popped off and disconnected circuits important to the function of the computer itself.
And I've tried using Recovery and it had no effect, so that means that most likely it IS something inside.
I will check inside myself, but there might not be anything I may be able to do about it immediately on my own, and since I'm not super-good with the insides of a computer, I would most likely screw things up even more, which is something I definitely cannot risk.
So, I'm posting this message now because my sister let me use her computer, and the reason I closed the first NES was because of the restrictions that she placed on me and my use of her computer, so the sequel NES might not even start until about 7 days from now, when the people working on the computer will get it back to us.
And honestly, I'm not putting anything off or slacking off, because I didn't work on this timeline just to purposely delay everything.
So please just bear with me for about a week.

 

[Kamilian]

Good news: I'm getting my comp. back tomorrow.
So I should have everything done by tomorrow evening and the NES will start on Friday, perhaps maybe even earlier.

 

[human-slaughter]

YES YES YES I love whoever fixed your computer
