Nice Agatha Christie reference. And a very nice beat in the Nora / Clancy relationship.
I particularly enjoy the way you have cross-cast a spiritual human against a non-spiritual bajoran. And that Clancy is loaded with good advice. I'm also a fan of twisty mysteries which is something you definitely have created here.
I still suspect it is all a school of red herrings and that something else is at work here. Been a long time since Owens has been awake..
Thanks!! rbs
Author's Response: I know Roddenberry got some flack for his highly secular view of humanity in the future but I quite liked that approach and how issues around spirituality tended to be dealt with by using alien races as proxy. The Bajorans are, of course, the most memorable of those. The dichotomy between Nora and Clancy is fun on a number of levels, including their different belief systems. As far as Nora is concerned, this will be a bit of a focus for her character moving forward.

Oh, a conspiracy! I'm not surprised it was Kolrami or Yunta, but I'm sad Decaux was involved. I'd had hoped that she managed to stay out of this messy business, but a woman scorned and all ...
I'm assuming Star isn't dead, otherwise Nora might be just a little happier at all this ... nice to see Clancy embracing some spirituality, too, and his words to Nora are spot on: there are some days I think my past sins hurt people I love, too, and it's a thought process that isn't unique I feel.
Author's Response: You're implying Nora would be happy if Star had bit the dust? Ouch. She ain't that cold. But it appears you're right, is she were dead she certainly wouldn't be feeling frustrated over the deal she'd made. But yeah, the conspiracy really seems like the go-ahed theory here.
