I liked the description of Star's anxiety about Katanga and Nora - and that she quickly dismissed it. Very good storytelling in the response of Eagle's crew to Mahoney's ultimatum. I am interested in whether that little diatribe was witnessed by Leva.
It appears someone has a problem that they want Star Fleet to make go away for them...
Nice twisty little plot.
Thanks!! rbs
Author's Response: Not unlike Lam, Mahoney is losing it here. That's to my point a while back that I wasn't quite as happy with how my antagonists turned out in this story. Still, there is something undeniably fun about a character having a breakdown.

Star's clearly made the correct decision, with the backing of the other Eagle senior officers. However, Mahoney is going to become unhinged when he discovers she hasn't followed his orders... I expect fireworks of the not-so-pretty variety.
I was glad to see Star finally having become one of 'them'... for however brief a time it may be.
Author's Response: Mahoney is close to losing it, that's for sure. And I'm happy to see that you are glad for Star. It took her a while to get to this point, to being truly accepted by her people. Let's hope she can keep it up.

This is a great chapter. Mahoney huffing and puffing about Star’s open disrespect and her crew supporting her. I did not expect that Nora would be that direct, but in a way Mahoney’s irrational behavior had managed to irritate everyone on Eagle. Taz was quite surprised too and probably realized for the first time that she had to trust her crewmates more. Still no one knows what Mahoney is going to do – he is truly obsessed with his mission as well as getting it even with Taz.
Author's Response: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Mahoney is clearly starting to lose it. And maybe that's not entirely surprising. I mean, sure, the guy has some serious issues, but Star has not exactly made an effort to douse the flames either. I also think the way the crew is supporting Taz here is possibly a real turning point for her.
