I appreciate the detail about the rematerialization being rough when Michael is transported inside the cube. Even if, somehow, being ripped apart to component parts, streamed through subspace and jammed back together hundreds of miles away doesn't hurt, it has to hurt the brain at some level. Speaking of which...
I was kind of waiting for Michael to throw up - every good sci-fi series features someone throwing up at some point. Usually when we're on the couch and fork about to fork into a nice steamy bowl of spaghetti.
So these Beholders are the ultimate fascists - they've wiped out all other life on their own plane and are eagerly wiping otu all other life everywhere. And Bensu was once one of them but somehow escaped their collective psychosis...
Thanks!! rbs
Author's Response: Ah yes, the throwing-up trope. I hate it so much. Mostly because of the reason you've stated. Although chances are probably much smaller that you are reading some action-packed Trek fanfic over dinner. I believe there is an earlier chapter were Michael is about to vomit but can't because he just hasn't eaten anything in such a long time. Can't lose what you don't have.
