Ok so you already own my soul. Where should I send my bank details? Just ... just wow. A fabulous wonderful chapter. From Captain Leonoard's thoughtfulness, to Hrath [I love Kzinti and Caitians] and Janeway, to the new smell, to the pilot eyes, to McGregor getting command, to the mention of Brint and his self same words, to the bridge, to the chair, to Jean-Luc's letter and to the perfect moment. To the perfect moment and chapter indeed.
Author's Response: Wow - I have to admit, this was one of my favorite pieces to write. I needed to give Beth her homecoming. I needed to give the reader what I always thought was missing from some of the Trek films - seeing that connection between captain and ship. I didn't need to write the actual launching ceremony - I needed to write that personal side of things...that moment when Beth and the 1701-G are married so to speak. There's a scene in "Starship Mine" from TNG when Picard has just a few seconds alone on the bridge...to me it's one of the most powerful moments in the show. I just moved from that perspective. Again, I am most honored by your comments.

Copied from the OS...
Caught up! I was also glad to see more of Cass. For what little I have seen of her, she strikes me as someone who really has suffered, either because of her own internal demons, or because of the family issues, or maybe something of both. The whole thing is good -- this reads more like a soap opera, kind of episodic. (NOT A BAD SOAP OPERA!) Just in the way you're looking at the plot through more close-to-home snippets.
I'm really looking forward to seeing more.
