I fail totally and epically. I ended up going out to watch the fireworks instead of finishing TOSOT, and now I'm going to camp. You guys'll have to wait until Monday.

Sorry...I tried to ignore the whole "real life" thing, but it asploded in mah face.

P.S. Just incase you forgot, you last left off in the middle of the chapter "Darkness be my friend" right after Nav said something about it "not being over until the fat lady sings". Shyah.
P.P.S. I've made MYSELF a Lee fan while writing this chapter.

Oh, almost forgot!

Ten points to anyone who can catch the blatant movie quote reference hidden in the chapter.

Okay, Mara, I bow down to you. I always LOVE when stories get sneaky and conspiratorial. Mad props with Nav and the sleeping pills. SPEAKING of Nav, how awesome is he? I find it very refreshing that he loves his sister so much to buy an entire planet for her. That just shows real dedication and loyalty. Whaaat a guy! Haha.

No wonder April has "licentious midnight trysts" with him. WAY TO GET BUSY, GUYS. In bed. Lol he was showing off to April while unlocking doors with his metal arm. I wonder what ELSE he does with it. ;D

WHY must you leave us off at the good part... right where things are about to get REALLY good? DAMN, MARA. DX Another painful cliffhanger.

Oh, and by the way...

*Rabidly jumptackles you* Tartune is in this part. My life is compleeeeeete! <3333

Are you talking about Carl's "Jimmy, will you rub my tummy and sing nonny…nonny … nonny…"?

Ten additional points to anyone who laughs at April's "punishment" for Nav.

All I'm saying is good thing that you're not posting that on nick.com. :bock:

Overall...eegad, conflict.

Here is my short reply.

First of all,

Two large knives glint from a compartment on her left boot, and as if this wasn’t enough, she carries what appears to be an AK47 in her hands


You just know how to please me, Mara! ^_^ Thank you! I was really excited to find such a detail! Seems that you can please everybody with one brilliant work.


I loved all the twists and conspiratorial stuff. It's a perfect mix of feelings, intrigues, jokes and preparations for the battle. I'm also glad that we saw more Nav and Lee. They are great guys, at last they got some more significant roles.
It also pleases me that you write technical details so well, it sounds very natural.
And, as usual, you stopped at the most interesting point! We should get used to it. :lol:


licentious midnight trysts

I laughed at it. Krista's influence is quite obvious. But, it's OK, it fits the theme.

Oh my gosh, Mara, that was AWESOME! I don't even know where to begin! Ha, I absolutely loved that whole scene with Nav and his ship. And you mentioned his sister Laudya! Aww! I'm so happy you threw that in. It shows Nav's softer side and sort of "justifies" his life as a thief. Definitely Han Solo-ish, haha. You had me pretty curious about why Cindy seemed so upset Nav hadn't told his sister about his life as a criminal. I'll just have to sit here wondering and guessing for now, I suppose.

Jimmy DIDN'T erase Nakki and Wenna's memories! I loved that plot twist! Here we go, picking up with the suspense and the excitment. AND LADY JAYA, AHHHH! D: LOL. This should be cool, seeing what Lee throws at the troops. And hurray for Wenna! She's so sweet; now she gets her chance to be the hero.

I love how Lee is doing so much for April. Hopefully he'll be able to clear her name successfully so she CAN come home. Ah, if only April saw how much he cared!!!! ):

Can't wait to read more, Mara! < 3

It's funny that you should say that.

Actually, I was THIS close to including the following line:

NAV: Welcome to the bridge everyone. I expect you all to address me as “Captain Kirk” from this point on. Or if that doesn’t work for you, “Hans Solo” will suffice as well…heck, I’ll even settle for Captain Janeway…


But for some reason I cut it out. :o


Hmm, maybe I didn't make this clear, but Jimmy did TRY to erase their memories. It was just a case of Jimmy's invention going awry, yet again.

Hee. Hee hee.

THAT line was purely for my own amusement... Actually, I was a bit...erm...unsure of how to word it. I wanted to say it without actually saying it, ya know? I figured "licentious midnight tryst" was as good a way as any.

It was also for the benefit of anyone who wasn't convinced by this point that Nav and April actually DO have a relationship.

Ya, I would have cut that line or made it more cryptic if I was gonna post it on nick.com. I think you guys can handle it, though :P I'm pretty sure that anyone old enough to even understand that phrase "licentious midnight trysts" is old enough to be able to deal with it.
