Great ending - "And the crowd went wild..." Has to be one of my favorite ending lines.
And the Prime Directive was... well... not really a player at all after all.
A fun romp of a story. Good characterization on the bolian crew member and the confusion over human aphorisms is always good for a laugh.
Being from Oklahoma, the line "you're not from around here, er ya?" (previous chapter) rang true for me. Just part of our warm southern hostility.
Thanks!! rbs
Author's Response: I don't thinks went exactly the way they had intended. Again really glad the humor worked for you here. Appreciate some of it can be hit or miss.

Well, shoot! You could kind of see it coming, and yet there it turns out their phaser rifles are still missing. Even so, they may have set something to rights here... or maybe not. Any which way, at least people are happy in the end. It remains to be seen if this is a good thing, or a bad thing. The interplay between the characters is so much fun. Zol is kind of adorable, and Val... understandably tense, all given.

They've been used and used badly it appears. Litus may have good intentions but he has also got his own ambitions and schemes. Alas, in time I rather imagine that he might be the new Tigus in years/months to come.
You have to admire Zolwat for his own brand of principles and for taking out all the weapons in the storage warehouse. Val is a more worldly guy and is trying to navigate between doing right and doing what they are allowed to do by the book. Still he seemed to have stepped aside to allow Zolwat to do his thing.
What now for our intrepid duo? How else might they track down the weapons?
