As to the journal pages, that last sentence seems rather poorly constructed. I actually looked it up because I thought it might have been typoed during transcription (nothing against Yali, but I've seen transcription errors before ), but that is actually how it's written. It just reads wrong, though, like there's a word missing, or an extra word stuck in somewhere. It's hard to figure out the gist of it, because Gehn was already trapped on Riven by the time he wrote Age 233, so somehow those journal pages made their way back to D'ni for Dr. Watson to find. Either that, or a link to Age 233 was brought back to D'ni (for whatever reason), and Dr. Watson took a trip there and recovered the pages from 233 while expeditioning in D'ni. In either case, I wouldn't wholly discount seeing either Riven or Age 233 again in the future, if only because Yeesha could still be involved with things, and Age 233 provides even more fuel for the fire of her opinions, and a non-destroyed Riven could probably be easily attainable for her if she does indeed - as I've seen claimed somewhere I don't remember offhand - have the ability to explicitly specify the precise instance of an Age when writing a link to it... something the D'ni could not do.
