We press on and more adventures await.
The last chapters are short but then your style in this episode is keeping things short and to the point not unlike a certain doctor or former Maquis now starship captain. I know I'd love more detail at time, an expansion of some scenes and delving into the emotional undercurrents of the characters and refining some of the nuances of the characters. However, at other times the delivery in parse tones is very telling and in its own way very effective and of course adds to the breakneck speed of things in the story. We get whisked along briskly with the story and press on with things. And whilst the crew seems to have unified somewhat as a collective hold there's enough questions and trust issues remaining among some, especially a reluctant XO to captain that one hopes the richness of the premise is not swept under the carpet as in VOY. Looking forward to reading more Lamba Paz tales in the correct chronological order.

An excellent introduction into the universe of Lambda Paz. I loved the action sequencies, they were well written. Limis is a well rounded and developed character. I especially loved the fact that her former spouse was a traitor and that everyone else suspected him but she was blind. Good piece of writing.
Author's Response: Hope you enjoy the subsequent stories. And I often hear that these kinds of high-stakes stories are made stronger when making the situation more personal for one of the heroes. There's also a certain irony that while Limis divorced Arnit years ago, whatever part of her is still in love with him was awfully quick to defend him.

A great story, and sets the premise up for later stories. It made me think about just how many ships the Federation had at its disposal. I don't why but I've always assumed the Federation had somewhere around 40000 ships before the Dominion war, and that number was reduced by half. I always like to think about technical details like this, and you have a knack for sorting out these tricky details as well.
Author's Response: 40K seems about right, with the assumption each fleet has about 300 ships based on the recitation of "Rode the 600" (although not sure how many different there are). That, of course, raises the question of why only 40 ships be spared against the Borg at Wolf 359.
In any case, the ending sets the tone for the Dominion War and addresses how they recovered so fast from Toros Three after the loss of that shipyard was supposedly a serious blow, yet they still often outnumbered the UFP and allies two to one.
