Zac and Jessie...destined for menial careers in the lower end of the blue-collar world....

So it isn't only me then...hummm

Wasn't on the boat....Alex...what possessed you to come up with that story??? Did you not understand what the Mexican authorities were doing when they recorded yours's and others passports??? And cleaning out the apartment/condo...making room for another boy-toy??? I truly believe Logan was assisted in his fall into the seas....

Marc's growth is remarkable along with his attention to detail, he needs to learn some of the finer nuances of command I believe. While he was correct in bringing to everyone's attention the condition of the vessels he is/was renting, I wonder if a less public approach might/may have worked a bit better. I'm concerned he is creating adversaries needlessly. I think a "discussion" with Sa Henderson about his concerns with a warning proviso, that if it should happen again to him or anyone else, then he will bring it to the attention of everyone in the 'Bowl"... Now, having said all that, if scheduled/routine maintenance is being marked as done and Sa Henderson knowingly knows it is not, what happens to the "items" noted as used, but not. Who then is profiting, just Sa Henderson or are others included?? If that were to be the case roast him/others very publicly.... “It just so happens that I should have a say, as I have the requirements to rent that equipment and you do not, Sa Henderson. Although I am sure people you hire do. Still. When I step aboard a vessel that I am going to use. It had best be ready or I will be looking for the reasons. I will say this now for all to hear. When I track back the what and who of the next set of issues with the vessel that I rent. I will file a formal complaint and request for restitution against the party responsible

That asshat defense lawyer nearly got me to trigger a carnal oops a cranial explosion, but I survived knowing Jill is going to take the stand...

Good on you Todd, way to move forward out of the shackles of your past, and Barrett...as well as searching for your mother, don't think it will be all sunshine and roses, you may not like what you find, and most of what you are looking for, happens to have admitted is attraction to you... I wouldn't trust any overdressed artsy fella wearing a bandanna, scarf, and a fedora....

It brings to the fore that adapting and accepting change is critical, thanks for reading!!!!

This should be interesting, and if I remember correctly, Simon still has one more death to go...

You hooked me, looking forward to the next chapter...

Major changes all around, should be very interesting to say the least... We'll take the chapters as they appear...meanwhile at work you should...so to free up you writing time....

This brings up another thought, what exactly is the status/nature of the relationship between Alex and Logan, married, committed couple, occasional FWB????

I'm trying to figure out what in the heck to say about Alex, it's been a long time since I've been stumped, I mean...how many ways can you say what you think about Alex the Asshat douchebag, I really need @Summerabbacat's take on this. I can't figure out the reasoning or the motivation in delaying Logan missing other than that must have been a substantial financial reason, not necessarily cash in the bank but perhaps, a life insurance policy, Alex may have thought Logan wasn't wearing a self-inflating lifejacket...I pity the fool he is to some degree as he isn't as smart or clever as he thinks...and Oh boy, is he in for a world of hurt...providing he hasn't fled to parts unknown.... Next chapter pleas and thanks and ASAP damn it!!!!

I can't wait till Eric gets to tangle with Alex....

So death comes slowly?

This next chapter should be very interesting to say the least, and this chapter was very instructive in how to turn the tables... As I entered his room, a shocked Prince Francois Valois blurted out, “Why are you here? Are you going to kill me? This is all my fault. It’s too late for peace. They’re invading your lands and those of your allies right now. The Habsburg armies have already taken Navarre and Bruges. My brother’s army took Le Havre and executed Louis Bourbon and Admiral Coligny. They’re besieging Boulogne. No one can leave this city until tomorrow, and they have thousands of soldiers with orders to kill you. You also have no abilities. I’m so sorry.”

I have to give some credit to Channing, having the good sense to give Todd, a pep talk, and a bit of quiet time with Barret....

Anthony is still an idiot without a filter....a chip off the old block, hopefully he becomes aware it is a 'learned' behavior...he's a walking Human Resources disaster.... I think if I were to have one of those black bean extravaganzas @Summerabbacat, the local environmental protection agency just may happen to stop by... The black bean burgers would be delicious. I regularly have a vegan black bean, beetroot and caramelised onion burger which I enjoy immensely. They may be a little "troublesome" for the digestive system of some who eat them though - @drsawzall you may find yourself in trouble with mother again for unacceptable behavior in the living room.

I think what ails Francis isn't necessarily a 'health' problem, but a 'fiscal health problem as @Summerabbacat noted below.. I am intrigued as to what Francis' health scare may have been. Snorted one line too many, dropped a bad E, sniffed too much amyl, or something pedestrian like a urinary tract infection, a racing heart or an empty bank account. The move to the warmer climes of the Carribean is an area chock full of tax havens/shelters, places one can purchase a diplomatic passport for less than a half million while sheltering a fortune from prying eyes...

Alan, the door is over there...don't let hit your backside on the way out... “You need to understand that I’m not a gay dude, although I have no problems with gay dudes such as yourself.” He smiled. “But the fact is that I have absolutely no interest in your cock, impressive though it may be. I don’t care about getting you off. I care about getting me off. You must realize this is not some type of equal relationship. Right?” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “But, let’s be clear. I’ll be nice because I want you to enjoy sucking my cock as much as I enjoy getting sucked by an accomplished cocksucker like you’ll be in a couple of days. I’ll be nice because I want you to enjoy my cock plowing your ass as much as I will enjoy plowing you. That will maximize my pleasure because you’ll always be eager to please me.”

Looking forward to the epilogue, and while it has been noted that there remain political dangers, one only has to watch and listen to those, here in this country, who feel the same and are finding a wider, larger audience... I've really enjoyed this story, thank you for sharing...

Well...I believe the intended message was received...will it have implications decades in the future??? “You didn’t?!” She practically purred out. “I did?! Well, through one of my cousins, anyway.” I said with a slight lift of the corners of my lips. I instructed Rhasta to convey my displeasure. And he did, ever so subtly. Unexpectedly, they finished their upgrade two days early and loaded their cargo to depart the station. I disregarded Christoper’s attempts to contact me multiple times before that because I was fully absorbed in my own work. I stood in the gallery viewing area and waved as the ship departed. He smiled back as he thought I was smiling at him. Even tried to Comm me twice, which I refused. The smile on my face, that was anything but friendly, grew even wider as the bow crossed the threshold. Marked by the closing of the hangar doors just after they cleared them. The equivalent of slamming the door in the face of someone you didn’t like. The look on his face as the entire Bridge crew noticed the doors were closing clearly showed that he understood I was finished with him. His family got the message too. I am sure his sister, who was in command for the undocking, was berating him in front of the Bridge crew once they realized I commanded the hanger doors to shut. That also is a subtle way of saying you are not welcome here, to a ship you wouldn’t mind not seeing again.

Interesting start, one wonders if the 'pirates' are simply going to watch their ships be taken by a new (superior) force, what will their response be???

While the prologue has no stanyear date, how are we to determine whether the prologue takes place 200 years past, or set in the future???

While it isn't my cup of tea, this Dom/Sub thing, from what I understand, Alan fails to impress me, while I understand this is all new to Cal, Alan should do a much better job as his role as an instructor. Quite frankly what he is doing is self-centered and a narrow step above abuse...there are many sexual flavors at the buffet and Cal needs to experience many of them...

The following simply says it all....loved the chapter and love the story...
