Screwed it up how? Typhon was already besieged on his mountain when Sev
arrived in his timeline. Sev was there for less than a week. The sun had
already been wounded, all the space-worthy ships were gone, the peasants
were in revolt, and Piaton was dragging his heals about giving up his body,
all before Sev came on the scene. Typhon died not too long after Sev
disappeared. Typhon's problems were all of his own doing; Sev had nothing to
do with any of it.
