Summary
The Outsider explores the murky seas of human courtship while Corvo watches in bemusement, and in the background Emily draws, Callista takes charge, Piero sulks, and Cecelia accidentally becomes indispensable. There's also a plague, a vase of asparagus, and about a hundred singing whales who randomly showed up in the harbour one evening.
The squid is still wriggling.

Summary
The trouble with multiverses is that one small change can spark an entire reality. In one universe parallel to 46'\, small matters - the speed with which paperwork was done, a few minutes’ difference in portal event initialization - went differently, and as a result, the next-to-last gravitational anomaly did not allow Stan Pines to escape from federal custody as early as he did in its sibling reality. As a result, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos had to proceed with only the incomplete and heavily biased explanations of what was going on offered to them by the angry, paranoid Stan lookalike who stormed out of the vending machine demanding to know who they were and why his house was suddenly full of novelty license plates, all while Stan and Agent Powers each learned and tried to interpret new information about what really happened in 1982 and Stan was further occupied with figuring out a new escape plan. How could everyone's stories possibly go downhill from there?

Summary
All actions in war take place in an atmosphere of uncertainty, or the "fog of war." Uncertainty pervades battle in the form of unknowns about the enemy, about the environment, and even about the friendly situation. While we try to reduce these unknowns by gathering information, we must realize that we cannot eliminate them—or even come close. The very nature of war makes certainty impossible; all actions in war will be based on incomplete, inaccurate, or even contradictory information.
Having said this, we realize that it is precisely those actions that seem improbable that often have the greatest impact on the outcome of war.(Warfighting, Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication 1)
