Heh. Nice little piece, everything I'd hoped for and more.

Specific Items: The thruster pack. Gee, now where have I seen something like that before... *wink wink nudge nuge* *Cough gee that sequence feels like something right outa ST:TMP*

The ID. Aha. Well, I suppose you could call it forged, but no, really its more like just not accredited (YET). Also covers the one thought that occured to me after I lay down last night... which was "When did Corwin have the time to get TENURE though?"

Utena Vs. the Doors and Lever. Perfect and classic Utena. Oh, and I (for one) am envisioning the doors as rather like the ones on the Death Star in Ep 4. Correct? or doesnt matter?

And the last line.... Corwin, Corwin, Corwin. Dont you realise making a statement like that can cause the universe to rise up and try and prove you wrong? Such as, say, suffering a one in a million freak accident to one of your deuturium (or whatever tank it was that failed in a very Apollo 13 like way)
