I am not sure how I feel about the testers! But they seem relatively benevolent, at least for now. Never quite sure when it comes to the idea of the diversity of culture (even with the baggage that comes with, like war and dissention) whether you'd ever want something homogenized, because while you may have less conflict, you also have less color.
On the other hand, I'm a corporeal life form myself, and my brain might just be too small, too.
A neat story. And well crafted, with lovely characters and a satisfying resolution.
Author's Response:
Oh, I thank you.
Originally, it did not have this last chapter, but I realized it was dissatisfying without getting the bigger picture.
For people who will eventually learn how to work together, to get a small look ahead could be profound. Travis was so underutilized in canon. What if this makes him a bit philosophical, and gives him a perspective about peace that no one else in Starfleet has?
I thank you for reading!
