The whole time I've been reading, I've been thinking to myself, "Man, Millandra reminds me of Miranda. Accent, necessarily ruthless, suspicious name similarity, it fits."

I was gratified to discover I'd not-quite seen that particular reveal coming.

Also pleased that I'd guessed before the reveal that it was Kei wrecking the Blue Sun's shit on Omega. Looking forward to seeing how she makes a bad day worse for Gryph and co.

Aria's line about crossing the Wallace Line made me giggle out loud, to see the phrase jump from forum coinage to written canon.

And don't think I haven't seen Tali preparing to toe it herself. But that was almost a forgone conclusion; you've been borrowing dialogue lines from the game. Not that I'm minding--it's hard *not* to be at least a little sweet on Tali. But mirror-imaging your biochemistry, if that's what she's doing? *whistles* hoo boy, that's quite the step for love, girl. That'll be...interesting, when you return to the Fleet.
