I had a suspicion that that's how it was, but I was a little vague on the ages thing, since I wasn't sure how old Sirrus and Achenar were when they were traveling with Atrus. Also it's hard to picture Lulu 20 years post-game. :P

Are we running on the assumption that time flows equally between the ages, though? I think that's how things are in the Myst-verse, from what I recall, but it has been (forgive the pun) AGES since I've played. (And you know, I could never get to the age where you have to get the harpsichord notes just right from within the Rocket. Boo.)

I have read the excellent Myst reader series, but this has got me itching to read them again!
