Yuck @ ending!!! Ouch!!! I love the idea of warp drive also "warps" officers! ;) I also hated Bob Wesley's anti-Vulcan attitude and enjoyed how Scott took care of Kerr. Hehe. Love the chapter!!!
Author's Response: Thank you!

As hard as this was for you to write, it's still very well-handled. You didn't go delving into angst or overblown descriptions; you handled the whole thing very matter-of-factly, but within diminishing the emotional impact. In fact, I'd actually venture that you increased it.
Author's Response: I probably watched too many DS9 eps too many times. ;-) But thank you for the opinion. ;-)

I love the "Big Game" idea. Sounds nasty to me (which is why I like it)! And OMG, what a really really nasty game someone's playing here indeed with Luca and Spock... great chapter. I enjoyed it muchly!
Author's Response: Thank you!

Loved Bob Wesley's appearance and the Leagourian's way of talking! I also very much enjoyed the argument between Kirk and Spock and how Bones tried to calm them down. Hehe. Aww. And OMG, the date theory! *grin* Whoa, and then Luca shows up... wtf is he up to? Oh my!
Author's Response: I like this scene, too. LOL. Luca's well, up to something. ;-)

*grin* loved the Kirk/Uhura scene at the beginning... that was really sweet.
I really just want to strangle that Barns chick! Grrr. lol I also loved Spock's musings in his cell, and how he missed Kirk's presence. Awww. Wonderfully written!
Author's Response: Thank you! ::bows::

I am a sucker for mystery and intrigue and, just as Miranda Fave said, you have set up really well. I even like the name of the aliens; Legourians!!! Why are they hiding? What’s going on??
Kirk/Spock, in TOS stories, have to be up there in front. For me they drive TOS, and you are doing a good job there as well. Keep it up!!! And keep that intrigue ever so ‘there’.
Author's Response: I shall do my best, sir. :D Thank you. ;-)

I adored Kirk's slight jealousy when it comes to that other captain. ;) And it's nice to hear about familiar faces from the show (Bob Wesley)! *grin* Loved the M-5 reference. I also enjoyed the fact that Kirk didn't want to stay with that woman because she was too much of a fangirl. Very mature IMO. Liked this a lot.
And - oh my!!! Assassination?! Spock would never do that! Whoa!!! Now that's a real mystery here!
Love your stories, as always! :)
Author's Response: LOL! Thank you very much! Yeah, well, Kirk and mature do meet in the same sentence every once in a while. ;-) Glad you liked it. :)

Oh BLOODY Heck! Poor Spock. He's in a right pickle. Obviously, something very dubious going on but just what remains to be seen. There seems to be quite a mystery to the Legourians and I am intrigued to discover what lies beneath their hidden selves. Why hide away if there's nothing to hide?
As for the characterisation - of course sublime, tight writing. Loved the internal sights from Kirk. How he puzzles over his own train of thoughts, his jealousy about Spock and Scotty around this other captain [and what's the deal with him? hmm ...], his being unsure of his footing around Spock and their games of chess. You build a very intricate relationship dynamic between Kirk and Spock but the entire crew too, with Uhura and others commenting on Spock ad Scotty going shopping and as always putting the ship first.
Author's Response: Thanks! LOL, MF, I'm willing to bet no one write reviews quite the way you do. ;-) Thank you for trying this one, it might have more action than I usually put in. :)

Dear Anna,
As always, your characters are just perfect. Blessed Scotty, a good officer and a good man. Uhura... is Uhura! LOL
Your OCs, a delight to read. Luca, from E the O, Kerr, the new aid.
And the plot is really entertaining.
Waiting for more...
V.
Author's Response: Thanks, Vero. ;-) And yes, Uhura is Uhura, and Scotty's a good man. :D
