    Thirty-Seven

    It seems that both men are feeling the need to delve into their troubled pasts in order to leave them behind for good. Hopefully this will allow them to move fully into the present, and look forward to the future.

    Chapter 19

    This was a wonderful and hopeful ending to this part of the story.

    Careful, those authors are called AI's and they are here! Although hopefully not on GA!

    I agree this was a test, one which Jem passed. I have faith that Geron will let love win! Also I could use some of those pills.

    Chapter 12

    I really liked this contemplative chapter. You made Doreen a complete person, more than just a mom and wife. Andy is showing (yet again) what an empathetic person he really is. Ahmet is trying to escape his life with his Master. Unfortunately that is also his life with Matt. I wonder if Ahmet started out as property also. Matt is literally just living in the moment, his horrific past and unknown future are less important than the lentils in his new backpack.

    Chapter 17

    I feel more dread from a human ship than a Bzup-kind ship! Hopefully the arrival will be helpful, not destructive. After all, we assumed the worst with Mikulsa and he turned out ok.

    Phil finally has more than just hope (he didn't even have that in the first chapter), he's actually planning for the future.

    Chapter 15

    I wonder why Bzup's people developed the riders and planned to manipulate the orx in the first place. After so long coexisting secretly, why did they go on the offensive and risk their discovery. Are they running out of room? Why didn't they go to an unoccupied area and manipulate the indigenous wildlife on that continent? Was the orx a trial run?

    Chapter 17

    We don't know whether this was the moment that Kenji started to truly care for River as more than a scene partner, but this is first time he's showing it to River. It's a huge step forwards for both of them. They are giving each other a look behind the curtain. Rare for River, I bet it's just as rare for Kenji.

    Chapter 25

    That's around 59° for Americans. Sounds wonderful to me! I love how quickly Ollie is creating his new family. He draws people to him naturally. I bet his father was like this also.

    Chapter 11

    That was a very satisfying ending!

    Chapter 13

    It seems that the evolutionary defensive response when humans feel threatened might be shared with Bzup's people. There is a little "Lord of the Flies" in all of us. Our current social media fueled atmosphere is highlighting this unfortunate trait. I'm happy that this contentious behavior seems to be absent, and cooler heads are prevailing. I'm excited and anxious about meeting Bzup's people.

    Chapter 12

    I'm beginning to wonder if we are going off on a tangent regarding the unusual siffle behavior, or will it actually be relevant? I'll throw this out there, Nita earlier stated that Ana Barasesh was more concerned about terrestrial wildlife. She might already know about the reported behavior, even if nothing was previously investigated. Or it's a red herring!
  14. I'm happy for Greg and Len. I'm also encouraged by Heyward's proposal, even if I'm still wary of his intentions. I think that rather than thanking Donald Mitchell for their present circumstances, they should thank themselves. Mitchell may have instigated Greg's changes, but Greg and Len put in all the effort.
  15. That was just about perfect! I appreciate the Meeting before the break.

    Chapter 12

    It's better for all to be open but wary, as far as Mikulsa is concerned. The problem is people with bullyish personalities tend to look for positions with authority over others. It allows those bullies to get away with bad behavior. The long lifespan on Benteen means people are probably at their professions longer than normal. Hopefully Mikulsa will respond with reason when there is resistance to his plans. Fortunately, the law is with Bzup, and Mikulsa is badly outnumbered by the crew.

    Chapter 12 - Kai

    Kai just made it real! By informing his social network (which is admittedly small), what was a possibility is now a plan. As for your older stories, Confounded is one of my favorites on this site. The House Always Wins is fun, the Butler is challenging! After deciding to stick with it, I enjoyed the Butler more than House.

    Chapter 11

    Now that Bzup can see, could Jem teach him to read? It would greatly increase the learning speed, even faster than it already is occurring.

    Chapter 10

    Eh, people are over rated. If I owned an island in Scotland (and according to Ancestry I am 30% Scottish), I would have cats, dogs, chickens and goats. My family would be welcome, to visit.

    Chapter 10

    I am surprised at the sympathy for Tony and condemnation of Andy. It was my impression that the two did not have a strong committed relationship to begin with. They didn't have a lot in common, Andy enjoys his quiet life and Tony wants to party and be seen about town. As for not contacting each other for 6 months, that goes both ways. Obviously Tony didn't pick up the phone either. I think Andy has demonstrated his care for humanity quite well, as for Tony, good riddance.

    Chapter 10 - Kai

    I think Megan and the doc are going to provide years of entertainment for Kai and Adam! Kai didn't even get a chance to tell his sister he's not moving in with her. Oh, please let Kai and Adam continue to write letters to each other for ever! No postage needed.

    Chapter 9 - Adam

    Joyous! Both men are looking forward to a life with each other, honestly, playfully, hopeful.

    Chapter 9

    I think that both Dante and Ahmet have been in Matt's position, they survived by changing themselves into something their younger selves would have hated. I hope Matt will survive with his humanity intact.

    Un-missed

    Amazing display of tension, relief, and unintended consequences.

    Chapter 16

    The River we knew in I hate this town was a rock. This glimpse into his head is fascinating, and sad. It's like Kenji is breaking him down before building him up, but Kenji doesn't know this, because River won't (can't) tell him. Knowing he gets through this OK mellows the anxiety. This was a great chapter and feels like a turning point for River.
