>2.0) Ok, hell, I'm to tired to do a full run through now, but I
>promise I'll finish it tommorow afternoonish, at the latest. Tommorow
>morning more likely. But first:

Ok, as previously promised, a more thorough run through, after enough sleep and coffee to make me at least resemble something human.

1.0) So, who's idea was Amanda's callsign? Very apt. Tskia would approve very much, I do belive. ;-)
1.1) Rina's callsign. Also pretty cool, if bland.

2.0) "Do yourself a favor, Carter - if you're ever in the military, do everything you can to avoid being posted to a flagship. They get all the stupidest officers and most boring missions. It sounds big and glamorous, but all you end up doing is flying parade escorts, polishing your blaster and
playing with yourself."

She's interesting all right. Who served time on a carrier? 'Cause a buddy of mine (Former tomcat pilot) said almost the same thing to me when I was listening to old war stories.

2.1)Climate management field. Evil thing to do to someone who's not expecting it, what?
2.2) *twin* helix cannon's? *two* omega class weapons on one ship? Ouchie.
2.3) I like the locker room scene. "Ok, Carter, you're all set," she said."Just remember to close your face sheild if you lose cabin integrity, 'cause no one likes sucking vacuum."

3.0) Lockheed Lightning's? Given Gamilon's general dislike of humans, wouldn't they really dislike using human tech? And even if lockheed is really nifty like, wouldn't they have their own starfighter tech? That was better then EA's?
(Assuming that lockheed doesn't have a Gamilon division, and also assuming that EA enforce's a "You design for us, and us alone" policy)

4.0) Total offshoot, but damnit, would you post a copy of the tech readout in the vault at least? I enjoyed reading it, even if it was out of date.

5.0) New revision of starfury's? (the 71's that is)

6.0) I like the sniping twix Amanda and Xeria. Very sibling-ish.

7.0) She grinned again. "One day, my children will guard yours."
Well, I guess that this answers my questions about what happens to Devlin, what? If he can keep the psi-corps off his back for a few more years anyways.

8.0) "You look dashing," Rina contradicted him. "Spectacular.
It'll help Amanda's mood just looking at you. Just whatever you do
don't smile at her. I don't think she'd be able to stand it. Too
much nervous tension, you know. She's probably going to give you
quite a workout tonight anyway," she added, punching him in the
shoulder. "Danger always makes her horny."

I am finding it interesting that of all the characters (unless you count Gryph, who probably did *something* with kei in the week of CR. But I don't), only azalynn is having sexual interactions with others. This is the closest that *any* of them has gotten to it, and only 'cause Rina's a blunt spoken fighter jock.
8.1) Yeah, yeah. I know. "They're only 15, or less." Still, with all of the romantic tension that's going on, I'm kinda surprised that no one is jumping each other's bones.

9.0) "I'm afraid I'm not very political, Your Majesty. I'm glad I was able to help a friend - nothing more."

Undoubtedly one of the reasons that 'Manda likes Devlin. He could care less about politics. But he'll move heaven and earth to help a friend.

10.0) IHNJ, IJLS "Dim-Witted Upper-Class Twit."
10.1) I very much enjoy Garon's acting ability. Very neat.
10.2) "Actually, she's securing him," said Rina lightly. "That was
my sister Cora."
Devlin raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
Rina grinned and dug him in the ribs with an elbow. "There's
more than one way to interpret our family motto, Carter."

*grin* now there's an evil little woman. I rather like her.

11.0) Would 'Manda's and Carters' kids have a chance at beeing teeps? I mean, I'm not sure on the Genetics behind teeps in the b5 world, except that some teeps, bred to other teeps make more teeps, hence the genetic pairing within psi-corps.
11.1) Or am I doing the whole "Pasha's looking *way* too far into the future with this story" thing again?

12.0) "Oh, indeed," Amanda agreed. "He is quite a pathetic
specimen, isn't he, Kit? Cowardly, spineless, weak and stupid, just
as he claims." The air of light mocking vanished from her voice and
face as she looked Devlin in the eye again and added, "Clearly such a
creature wouldn't hesitate to fling himself headlong into unknown
danger wearing nothing but undershorts and an old coat."

You know, something about Carters air of spinelessness never *quite* rang true. For someone who tried to pretend that he was a coward, he stands up to too many people. Way too many people.

13.0) Xeria deserves to be fed to alt.tasteless for her treatment of Dalin. Devotion to someone else is one of the few things in life that I will never fault someone for. Never rib someone over. And try my damnedest never to take advantage of. And it pisses me off to high hells and low heavens when someone does. And even worse when they do it caullously.

14.0) Thursday, he remembered very little of the aforementioned
conversation, which was just as well, and spent much of the afternoon
regretting having ever decided to become a drummer.

*grin* I've had hangovers like that. (not that I'm a drummer, but my last roommate was.)
14.1) It took me three readings to figure out that Garon was talking about a threesome, *not* him and Carter.

15.0)Why use setting 3 on the ppg? 1 would have stopped the assain, and left him alive for questioning...

16.0)"You have saved my heir twice in the last week, Mr. Carter,"
said Desslok gravely. "Desslok Kuraino Dessler does not forget such
things."

Always good to have goods in high places when you are a fugitive from the law. Let's see now, friends with the head of state of Zeta Cyngi's daughter and son, Semi-declared future son-in-law to the head of Gamilion, *and* co-comlien to the future head of the fleet. Friends with Edward. Friends with someone who can blow Gryph halfway across a good sized backyard. Yeah, I'd like to see a psi-cop fuck with him

17.0) "Watch out for those Void Ghosts on the
Rim, eh, what?"

Worship the comic!
