1.) My original concept was intentionally abiguous about location... but if there had been a specific identity, it probably would've been Balticon or something else relatively local to me, not a Worldcon. 2.) It was very early in the course of events; like, if the flying car was the first example the world stage got, this was the second.

*nod* I ended up putting the location at Worldcon partly as a cheap plug (Worldcon '08 Denver! Be there or be polyhedral!) and partly because with all the other stuff happening that year it made sense as a trigger event; the "quarantine" and the media panic, combined with it being an election year in the US, served to accelerate Fen plans to get the hell off the planet.
In any case, pushed it back a year so it's happening not long after Worldcon '07.---
