Some more fun with Mahoney - a very interesting adversary given the role reversal. There's an old saying in State government (probably holds true for most organizations): "Be nice to the people working for you. One of them may well be your boss next week."
Very interesting to see how this plays out. No matter how it does for Mahoney, it is a very fun storyline.
Thanks!! rbs
Author's Response: It's a good saying in practice. In reality, I don't think Star could have treated the man any better when he worked for her. In fact, she treated him too well. That, was probably her biggest mistake. Glad you're enjoying the story.

Well, that was quite tough for Taz – all her past mistakes gathered together sneering and crying for revenge. The slimy Newheiser and his double-dealings, Mahoney’s bruised ego that prods him into madness.
I really like the way she pissed him off and made him flip out within seconds but I guess he will dedicate every minute of his worthless life to ruining her. I hope he dies in the forthcoming mission because he is not going to stop, it has become a personal vendetta for him. Taz has humiliated him on several levels so he is beyond reasoning. Let’s hope Leva can change the odds if the worst comes to the worst.
Author's Response: Taz probably didn't do herself any favors in provoking him the way she did here. She's playing with fire and sooner or later ... well, you know the rest.

Star vs. Mahoney… dear god I want that man to die, but slowly. He’s about as warped as any character we’ve seen in Starfleet in the UT universe. He lives solely to inflict pain and suffering on others, giving his actual Starfleet duties short shrift. Now that we’ve discovered what a monster he truly is, and how far he’s willing to go to exact vengeance on Star, I pity Leva all the more. It’s likely he’s the one who’s going to have to intercede to stop Mahoney and Star from murdering one another.
Author's Response: Leva is in an unenviable position alright. Stuck between two command officers literally at their throats. But hey, the man wanted a challenge, right? I think he got what he asked for.
