mmm...tasty story :)
I'll definitely be re-reading this one.

Wow...you know, as much as I never figured Devlin for a blib...it utterly failed to surprise me? Probably soemthing in my mind figuring "well, the group he's in are all weird in one way or anthoer...this must be his" :)

Xenia: oh, another character we love to hate...will we be seeing more of her?

Actually, all the characterization continues to be superb, and very believable.

How is durandel going to react to the phone call Xenia's making (which is almost definitely to the people I think it's too :)? poorly, I would imagine

mmm...pissed off rampant AI, woohoo >:)

and geez! 5 days between releases? you going to be ok, guys? you're writing almost as fast as I can read (assuming my standard 3 reads/part, to pick up all the details)
