What right-thinking, rational individual decided that, in the VBScript language, the Boolean value False would equate to 0, and True would equal ‑1? I mean really.

“Everything that never happened” update #1
So I’m at 5200 words so far, and here’s the ship that serves as inspiration for the good ship Mandalay in the story:
