I remember this story from a while back, probably the first series on nifty that truly drew me in, and a great homage to those actions shows in our youth we knew and loved. For any first time readers - you're in for an absolute treat. Know that I adore this story so much, I delurked just to comment.
I'm still shook that this is coming back (I don't think much of the setting or tech needs updating?), and eagerly look forward to seeing it progress towards its conclusion.
