I know there's a good out-of-story reason for it and I realise it's rude to point out the visible seams, but it amuses me that Utena and Corwin teaming up with Tali'Zorah and Mordin to save the Quarian people from a plague was already old news at the Castle by the time Utena came back at the end of the summer. It's a great read though, and I enjoy both the parts that fill in the ways Gryphon's family has come in touch with Tali's, and the parts that show Utena becoming a hero to yet another generation of youngsters.
