And yet again, the other Owens brother cannot be saved. Some things are unavoidable in any timeline, it appears (a trope in garden-of-forking-paths stories.)
And I'm actually enjoying seeing that trope play out. It remains a staple of such stories for good reason - a sort of warning.
It seems this timeline has not been kind to anyone...
Thanks!! rbs
Author's Response: Oh boy, yeah, I feel for poor Michael. Having to witness his brother die is a starting to become a recurring theme. Regardless in what universe.

So, looks like the "super-weapon" isn't a weapon at all! Someone's been feeding false intelligence to both sides it seems, and that screams Nyberrite intereference, doesn't it?
Mike going to bat for his brother and being able to mend, if only a little bit, their rift was nice. The dialogue between him and Donners was crackling -- definitely quite a few hatchets to bury there (and Donners seems content to bury them in Mike).
Now, with a battle looming, can Owens talk down both sides before things get really ugly?
Author's Response: Glad you liked the character interplay here. Donners and Owens are interesting because they have some mix baggage in other realities as well, so their spat isn't all that surprising. And you know what they say about a woman scorned ... she'll try to take off your head with a phaser.
