it goes over a little better... By the way, he isn't selected
to seal Chaos, or even negotiate. He is there because... well,
you'll see.

Now, nearly ten thousand years after the Horus Heresy,
and forty thousand years since the start of Human
civilization, the Emperor sought a different way. He would
send a Human among the Eldar, the ancient and graceful
race that once commanded the galaxy. They would sway the
Eldar into allying with Humanity instead of warring
against them. And, with the cessation of hostility, they
could help guide his children away from their barbarity,
and into that state which no force of Chaos could touch.
But no one who lived who would trust the Eldar, now, and
no one could impress them enough to sway them. He would
have to reach through time and space, to the past. He
stretched forth his hand, reaching back ten, twenty, and
then thirty thousand years.
Ah, yes. He will do. He will do nicely. I hope.

Okay, I think I get it now. Ranma's supposed to impress the Eldar enough that
they decide humanity is worth saving. He's certainly good at impressing
people. OTOH....
Random Eldar: If humans are this egotistical we should rid the galaxy of
them!
Either way, I'm looking forward to reading more, even though I'm not familiar
with Warhammer at all.
