You must've been born a writer 'cause this is just awesome. Dramatic, full of humor, and full of action, you're a Master Writer.

Sorry if I sound like a dork but... *gets on my knees* Let me be your apprentice!

You could write a how to book on writing that combines fun puzzles and all. I'd so buy it. We all would.

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.

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.

~*Mara*~ = ^.^ =

Haha, really? That would've had me laughing hysterically, most likely.

Oh, no, you made that clear. I just meant that that was a great plot twist, having everyone THINK Jimmy had erased the girls' memories when really his invention had malfunctioned...again. ;D

Maybe I'll add that line back in...

I just wasn't sure about how Nav would have seen Star Trek or Star Wars, being a Numerian...but I guess he could have seen the shows broadcast into space.

Ya, I know that...but I never mentioned it in the actual story, and people who haven't read the Q&A might be confuzzled.

That was a great installment. I'm immensely grateful you could add something. I really enjoyed it, and the plot twist, with their memories not being wiped, was awesome. Amazing job. ^_^

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

~*Mara*~ = ^.^ =

Haha, you've edited that in since I replied.

And yes, I did laugh at that. XDD

PS. If it was the Nonny, nonny, nonny thing that I caught that too, lol.

Wow, Pigquet!

BEST. REPLY. EVER. !!! :kawaii:

Thanks so much for the analysis! Everything you picked up on was what I was going for! It's so awesome to have a reader really GET what I'm trying to bring across.

Anyway, expect lots of ACTION very soon. Oh, and I doubt Nav and Lee will remain your fave male characters for long...once you meet Future Sheen!!! Woooo! :dance:

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

Nah, that IS a JN movie quote, but the quote I was talking about was
"selfish egotistical lying hypocritical bigot", which is taken directly from the movie "9 to 5" (if you haven't seen it, I recommend it. It's freakin awesome).

P'rhaps you could un-confuzzle 'em by having Nav make a passing comment about watching Star Wars. I mean, you could add his line in about Han Solo, and the kids could ask him how he knew about him. Wouldn't be hard. But that requires editing an installment you already posted (unless you find a place later on in the story to throw it in), so I guess it's up to you if that's worth it or not. *shrugs*

It's official, I'm a fan of this fanfic! Can't wait for the next installment! >.< Anyways, great work! I love how you made your plotline so much deeper than your typical JN episode, yet stayed true to the core personalities of each character. It seems well researched and carefully executed, and I can picture it in my mind as if it were an official Nick/DNA spin-off sequel! Heck, they SHOULD make a movie based on your idea!
