Chapter 11 In Transit Over the course of the next few days the brothers worked on sorting the color schemes for the rest of the ship. They also installed their customized units for their refresher units. I was tasked with working with George and with Hal's help was able to outline all the proposed changes and the reasons for them. George was worried that Engineering would become nothing more than a place for maintenance technicians. He had a point, as the proposed updates were all about auto

Yes, but "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" is more than just a saying...... So somehow George is going to have to reconcile with Carolyn as well for this to work and that may be the hardest task of all.

While Kitt has already said it, there is no "safe" sex, but there are the obvious ways to make it safer. These guys all know that and for the most part have been responsible. The problem is that we are all human and while we want to trust our partners they are human too and can make mistakes. Further, HIV does not automatically sentence anyone with access to decent health care to dying with AIDS. The saga has dealt with HIV and AIDS in the past and it would be somewhat unrealistic if it didn't have to continue to deal with the problem as it is ongoing and will be for the foreseeable future. So the drama is in the personal reactions of the characters as they find out if they have to deal with a new reality, one that is fraught with danger and to a large extent prejudice, even among the gay community where being positive is a negative and being negative is a positive as for as meeting new people....

HIV worries rise again. It's totally believable and almost inevitable. The family has dealt with the reality before. Now Cody is positive and more may be too. I am hoping for the best, but the reality may mean they have to deal with it. Now I am truly in a hurry for the next chapter.

Happy Birthday! & Many,many more!

Happy Birthday LBO! and, many, many more!

Thanks! You make my day!

Thanks! While it is set in a future different than many envision, it is a story about characters. Hopefully, they will continue to engage your interest!

Thank-you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Chapter 10 The New Year January 2734 New Year's day started slow but got busier as preparations to leave Magellan accelerated. All supplies had to be triple checked and scanned thoroughly before they were allowed aboard. The Silverspin's main docking module was on the main or middle deck but was close to the shuttle bay and down two decks with a convenient freight elevator between them. All material was initially checked by invoice at the docking bay and then was directly moved by our crew

Next I expect we will begin to see a little more of Lest's plan. Hopefully, it will include Jeff and not just use him.....

Thank-you for reading and commenting. Abel III's time is coming!

Thank-you. Abel is an interesting character that has been percolating around in my head for a while. I think I almost have him figured out and hopefully by the end of the story you will too and still like him as well.

I am really pleased that you like it. I am trying to keep to a schedule of posting on Wednesday nights and Saturday nights. Thanks for reviewing!

Thanks! We all have our fantasies and Abel's might be a little more elaborate than most after going seven years, especially ages 16 to 23. I hope to keep everyone interested!

The plan laid out by George's father sounds plausible, but somehow it seems people are always ready to believe the worst. So while it is a gamble, it is probably worth it, if for no other reason than for Granger's children. More please!

Ah, and there you have it. Mark is famous for leaving these openings which he exploits later and this could be an important one!

Addy thanks! I especially liked the ginger haired Andre Schuerrle. Those baby blues contrast so nicely....Thanks for the links to the eye candy!

I've always admired anyone who could write free verse and make it make sense. Great word pictures.

I think that Will has always been confident in himself and it was bolstered when he won his emancipation which was a battle. Therefore, like most self-confident people he does see himself as usually right. However, he is beginning to listen to what other people have to say, especially to people whom he loves and or respects. So there is progress. Like everyone, Will is a work in progress and I for one am enjoying the journey. Your observations as Mark noted are succinct, but aptly describe a defining characteristic of each of the major cast members. Although, I think regarding Brad, I would have used the term control freak instead of jerk.

Abel III's awakening is a process and there is plenty more for him to discover about his abilities. I hope the story continues to interest you and I always look forward to your reviews and perspective! Thanks!

Thanks! I tried to provide a context where it was almost inevitable and not traumatizing. I hope you continue reading and reviewing.

Chapter 9 More Problems The next morning I awoke determined to get through my general scans of the remaining military ship and hoped nothing would come of them. I hurried through my shower but did relieve tension and was soon dressed and heading to the dining room. I was surprised to find my grandfather and Drew there and it was clear they wanted to talk. Or should I say have a private telepathic conversation with me. They were concerned that I was attempting to do too much and thought my

Ok, the horse I could see. The oversize urn full of concrete, not so much! There has to be more.

Life goes by really fast, but this one was supersonic!
