Ah, brothers fighting. The title's almost double meaning was enough to get me intrigued--they're Scottish ancestry as well as the surname.
I had a feeling it would come down to a fight over whether or not this family of Scotts was related to THE Montgomery Scott when noticing Danny's middle name. It was a fun teachable moment at the end with his father telling him not to fight his brother and not to snoop around without permission.
The last lesson sure fit the title.

I love Danny. He has such a chip on his shoulder that it's more like a concrete block. And who can blame him? Man, the Scott family's messed up; it doesn't shock me in the least that some parts would still be messed up so long later. But I love his sarcasm, it's genius, and I love how flippant and irreverent he is. His body language, as you write it, is excellent.

Nicely done, and on command/request ... very impressive!

I am crazy chuffed that anything of AotW made it in, even if it was just an allusion. And your young Scott thoroughly intrigues me, too! God knows, Scotty would be all, "Let that lad be! Good God, if he doesn't wanna be an engineer, let him do what he likes!" ::laughs:: He'd be livid at the idea of being made a 'tradition'.

I am crazy chuffed...because I have no idea what chuffed is, but I assume it's good :)
I'm happy you liked it SL-it's a little homage you more than deserved for your amazing work on Arc of the Wolf.
Thanks for the review SL.

Hee! A fascinating little look at a potential future generation of Scotts. Awesome.
Author's Response:
Thanks Steff-yes, I wrote this very much with your "Arc of the Wolf" stories in mind. Glad you liked it, more to come.

That's quite a burden to shove onto one so young...this was a bit different. Not your run-of-the-mill topic, eh? Good job!
Author's Response:
Thanks Mistral-yes, this is indeed a big responsbility for one so young, and it just gets bigger.

Thanks Mistral! Yes, that fight was rather brutal; typo has been corrected (spaz on my part-should have caught that before) and much obliged for the point out of it.
I do like writing action scenes. :)

the next to last line has a typo. That said-Jesus, dude, you rattled me with your description of the fight with the guard! I need to be more careful what I'm reading at lunchtime! Very graphic, like a punch to the gut.

Why is it, that I think Vick just went from the frying pan and into the fire there? Poor guy -- I don't think he knows what he's getting into. Nice twist on the challenge theme!

Some future. Section 31? This kid doesn't know what he's signed on for. Will you be continuing this tale? i'd like to see how things shake out for him.
Author's Response:
Oh yeah-this is basically a short shot of this kid's story. I'm working on a novel with him featuring in it.

Interesting look at Section 31's recruiting practices. If they make a habit of getting their personnel from brigs and prisons, it's hardly a wonder that they've become as cold and indifferent as they seem to be.
And the power they seem to have here, being able to wipe people's memories just to recruit a new member, is downright scary.
Author's Response:
Well thank you CeJay! Yes, Section 31 wields alot of power.
Date: 03 Feb 2010 21:58 Title: One Damned Prank
Oh a scary brainy idea trekfan. That sounds very much like the kind of scary sh*t Section 31 would pull in order to recruit. Not everyone would agree with their ethos and policies and so hooking people in because they are beholden or blackmailed to the Section is something else. A dark and twisted take on the challenge.

I always suspected this was how S31 got its operatives. Find osmeone with nothing to lose and everything to gain ... and own them.
Well done, making their target seem both sympathetic and chilling. Great entry!

Man, that's CREEPY.
I am reminded of a description I read of the Obsidian Order in The Never-Ending Sacrifice--that they find a void in a person's life and they rush in to fill it.
You sure show just how much like the Obsidian Order 31 is, in just that short vignette...
