I worried that it might not be clear to those who didn't read the story with the events to which they return here, but I also didn't want to make the story a re-write of those events. It seems that my attempt of finding a golden solution of explaining but not going into too many details failed.
Oh, well, that's the risk when writing something so strongly set in one's universe

Thanks for reading anyway
