Magnificent. Utterly magnificent. It’s all as if I could see it playing out right before me. The way Q kept throwing jabs about Taesin’s age, the sardonic little quips, the laissez faire attitude that comes with omnipotence, all of it - magnificent. They way everything gets wrapped up with a little bow, soiled sanguine from those lost - magnificent. What a ride. To be honest, I was a little worried with the introduction of a Q, but now I see that concern unwarranted, yet I do not regret feeling it, for it made the ending so much sweeter. Bravo.
I sincerely hope that there is no universe or Multiverse in which people stubbornly trying to fit things into other things is not incredibly humorous and amusing. A piano aboard a starship. I love it. However, you follow the laughs with the blues. It reminds me of Elton John‘s song - I guess that’s why they call it the blues
If only I could click the humor button more than once. This was a lovely story. It was great in so many ways. I wish I could list all of them, but I would need a lot of paper and that wouldn’t be very ecologically friendly. Not only the tribble, but the holographic tribble. The way you described the hologram being integrated into the ship systems and how it would appear as a fact, simile and recognize it surroundings or at least appear to is brilliant. It is clear that this was a well thought out idea and plan, and that’s what makes it so great
Well, now that's a list of things I certainly did not have on my bingo card! I'm taken aback, I don't even know where to start. This one actually took me by surprise!
The level of descriptiveness you deliver here makes it incredibly easy to visualize everything as if it were being played upon a stage before the reader. It makes for an easy read that you add a fun, lighthearted tone to. This was quite enjoyable and I am eager to read what you have planned next!
And now everything comes into focus! Little hints sprinkled here and there, and now, the reveal! Let there be light! And what a dramatic way to do it!
It is not often that I have the pleasure of clicking all of the “Like” boxes, and wholeheartedly meaning it, but this was one of those times. Mee IH is a powerful character, paving the way for his kind. He has been a wonderful friend to Dean, and I wish nothing but the best for him. Be sure to tell him that Dean says hello. There are so many point s that I could comment, extol and laud. This was superb!
Powerful line to close the story, nicely handled. The sunglasses were a nice touch. I like that yeoman.
This was a fantastic follow-up to the previous installment. Immensely clever and logical, and your portrayal of a Vulcan was immaculate. Not easy characters to write in-depth but you tackled his dialogue oh so well. A very enjoyable read
What a great story, even if the helmsperson mixed up starboard and larboard. He just wanted to fly something bigger, like a runabout, but now he's the helm officer of a 750 meter long ship! What a great performance for a ship that is well-suited for brief engagements - hope they don't have to turn too much! Great work!
What a great segue, I like how it moves the story along! I really enjoyed the dialogue between Wong, Mee IH and Singh. I like how Wong is always calm, that's not always easy. Mee IH's use of the VR headset is such a cool callback to Deep Space Nine
I even went and translated the right expression in French for it! Good golly!
¡Mon Dieu, quelle horreur! I knew you’d deliver a spectacular payoff from the buildup to all the worldbuilding you’ve been laying down. Such a masterfully built foundation, brick by brick, starting with the Tsangaris Massif, building more bricks as you go. Layer by layer. The house is built, the reader approaches the door, knocks and fwoom! The whole front door explodes, shards of wood blasting back. Perfection. You delivered a mystery with the experiment, then the intrigue with the genomic creation, and then you just blew the damn door off with that finale! Best story I’ve read in a long while!
Now that’s what I call narration! Perfectly practiced prose powerfully propelling plot! And my, oh my, what a whale of a cliffhanger!
Holy Macaroni! What a fun ride! Rollercoaster would be underselling it, that’s for sure!
You’ve got a good crew dynamic going so far. I’m interested to see the friction and how you’ve got it planned to unfold!
I like this start, hitting the ground running. Especially running late, I know it all too well!
Now this is a perfect little hook of a mystery! That barb sunk deep on this one, that’s for sure. I like the idea with the chemical thrusters and the phasers, it sounds like such a novel idea, without sounding daft. Right on the razor’s edge
I like how clean cut this is. It’s lean and mean. You managed to tell a lot of story with an efficiency of words that is highly effective
