Another interesting character. Bajorans are particularly interesting because of their recent trauma with the Cardassian Occupation, followed sharply by the Dominion War and the Sisco Ascension (or whatever it was they think he did.)
Yunta seems more than a little distracted - perhaps due to local conditions?
Thanks!! rbs
Author's Response: I do like Bajorans. They are a tough race. Have to be with everything they've gone through. As for Yunta. Clearly something is up with that woman.

My oh my, all of the investigators are going around lurching for possible suspects. It makes one worry about crime in the future. But in truth it lends to the fact they are security and tactically minded - they don't specialise in detective work in their line of work. It also lends this very much a traditional who-dunnit flavour yet keeping it in the Trek and modern verse.
And intriguing parallels to be found between suspect and Nora. A shame that Nora can't see some of herself in Star or else the two of them might find a way to collaborate and work together. But on a Starship with people trained to kill, especially Marines and in a time of war, it seems there actually won't be a shortage of possible suspects. You are managing really well to make a murder mystery work on a starship when one would think it hard to do so. I imagine it was hard to do but it isn't a hard read. Kudos.
Author's Response: Yeah, I certainly tried to go for the classical who-dunnit theme in this one. Crime, especially such an heinous one as murder, is not very common on Starfleet ships. So the crew isn't exactly trained in dealing with this. If they weren't inside that nebula and could rely on the resources of a starbase for example, things might be different. And Nora seeing some of herself in Star? Sure, right after gre'thor freezes over.

And the plot thickens. I like Yunta on a number of levels, at least as far as the investigation goes. But I don't feel like it's her ... or if it is, it's not her alone. The interplay between Nora and Clancy continues to be strong (I'm shipping them, it's official).
Author's Response: I think that's the first time anyone has ever shipped my characters before. Very cool. And you're right, there's something there. A spark at least.
