Setting up the end ? (35,673)

I didn't realize until just now but whatever actions I add into the plot now should be setting up the ending. I think that's actually happening without my overtly planning it. Yay! Fred and Janet reached a dead end trying to figure out the device, so they handed it off. They are about to be kidnapped or something. I've come up with several ideas for gluing the story back together. I need to write them down before I forget.
