>(Oh, come -on-. I can't possibly be first done. I read fast, but not
>-that- fast.)

Would have finished sooner, but was on page 7 when I got the call that I'm an Uncle for the first time... took me a while to float back down again :)

Now the comments:

First off, Wow. Bravo Gryph and Co., you definitely did justice to what NXE led up to. I was especially touched with how pervasive Rachael was, although I get the impression that the character was initially there at some level, and was then re-written as a tribute. I also liked your throwing Derek in there in a way that worked well.

My brain appears to be spinning and not very coherant, so I'll wait until later to give a detailed commentary, but one thing keeps jumping out at me: Well OF COURSE Yves is God :) I know, he supposedly only acts as an occasional host for God's Voice, but it just seems too convenient. Not that it matters, it just was a fun one.

More tomorrow, after I've re-read and let it percolate some.

Offsides

I have looked into the abyss, and the abyss looked also back into me.
Neither of us liked what we saw.
