I briefly considered having G do this (well, his own name and Kei's, not "Ajlond-Mui" - that would be a big practical joke) after Crossroads, or even drop "Hutchins" altogether (it's really not very heroic-sounding, is it?), but decided it would break his mother's heart.

(What's that you say? His mother died in the radium explosion in UF? Yeah... that's what he thought too, at the time... )
