Star's level of animosity for a fellow starship captain is probably going to come back to bite her in some way...
Nice character moment with Lt. Bane - and an interesting character both in him and his captain. Always interesting to see the relationships among the various service branches.
Thanks!! rbs
Author's Response: Star is probably one of those people who was not quite ready to be a starship captain. This is gonna be a great story to read to get some more background on Tazla Star. Also, quick shoutout to my fellow United Trek author The Lone Redshirt who has created the Bluefin and her characters. You can learn more about TLR's amazing Bluefin stories at UnitedTrek.org

Taz is a naughty, tough lady. The universe is full of interesting men and you have but one life. Now I begin to grasp her choices – she definitely wants to make the most of everything she bumps into. Decorum – who needs that if you can have a cute Border Dog? I like the way you describe the mutual disdain displayed by the regular fleet and the Border Service, it is so typical.
Author's Response: Taz gets a rare moment here, one in which she drops her guard for a brief moment and allows herself to be ... herself. It doesn't last but it gives us a glimpse at the person, I think, she wants to be.

Hee, hee. I dunno, but I couldn't recall how these two came to get together. It seems they literally walked into one another. And from the off there's banter and flirtation in an easy manner that makes it no wonder that Star takes a punt on Nigel. The dialogue between them felt sparky and it brought a little smirk to me as I read it so was very well done. And given that Star has so many other issues, I think bumping into Nigel and the fact he's a Border Dog and not Fleet and not 'Mel' and not the creepiness of Shuun makes it easier and more tempting to get entangled with Nigel.
However, as you end it on that note too, the matter of Shuun hangs over this as does the very real fact that 'Call me Mel' is a douche likely to screw things up royally. But there does seem to be another agenda at work here, certainly, the fact that Star is dubious seems enough to make me dubious.
Author's Response: Yeah, Star and Bane started out right here. And as you can see it had rather innocent beginnings before it became something more .. complicated in Saints. It's almost a little bit like love on first running into each other, ain't it. Well, I wouldn't call it love but there's no doubt that Star has so much on her plate at this moment, she's desperate for a little distraction. I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying that things will go downhill from here. And fast.
