Something else I want to add, about the multiple schools.
I’ve been considering our current time as “IST 2000” as that’s where we have to start the book and move forward. Which, I’ve come to realize, in the shower (again, where I do a lot of my thinking), that we really need to strongly consider the 1990-2000 time as well, and maybe start with “IST 1990.”
Sure, Bob has the timeline, but, it may need to be looked at, in general. Some tweaking may need to be done as we go through it and we find plot holes that need to be filled.
But, if we start at 2000, there would only be one, homogenous, IST Academy. Sure, by 2015, there may be need for multiple campuses, but, in 2000, there would only be one. A case could be made, only three years after it opens, a second one might be being built (or have been built), but it would probably be dedicated to a specific age group, and probably the youngest, under 13, at that.
By 2015, I could see five campuses, two for each younger age group, and one (large campus) for adults. Perhaps six (two for each, one for adults, and one universal—literally) if we also have Unity Station in 2015.
