Well timed, well played and perfectly memorable.

Oh wow! Just wow. I'm reminded of TWoK and Nemesis and the brave sacrifices Spock and Data made then and the impact their actions had. To have two such moments here is a real gut punch for the reader. Ianto's cold mechanical voice especially at the end is spine tingling as one grapples with what he has done and indeed with the loss not just of Ianto but Data in his memories too. Real powerful stuff all coming of Dax's horrendous decision, that brings back so many painful memories. Just brilliant.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm thrilled you've enjoyed this wrap-up to volume one so much. The next volume has much less of an action-packed ending, so I really wanted this to work as an action story. Glad you enjoyed it, and that the impact of Sarine and Ianto sacrificing themselves sent that tingle down your spine!

Gripping stuff, with all-or-nothing sacrifices being made on more than one front. It's a damn good thing Redemption survived, because enough blood was spilled in order to save her.
Yeah, Kalara and Dax are going to have a reckoning when all is said and done. The honor-less deaths of the Klingons and of her friend still wait to be avenged.
That was a treat. Looking forward to wherever you take the tale from here!

I can't even collect my thoughts on all that -- Sarine's self sacrifice could have easily felt cheap, but didn't. Dax made a difficult call and is going to have to live with it (and apparently some taunting from within) for the rest of his life. Kalara is going to be wrecked. We don't even know if her husband is alive, everyone thinks she's a spy, I'm sure she'll feel guilty over all the losses, particularly what happened to Sarine, especially because his sacrifice got her what she once wanted -- Redemption. Well, she's got it now, and what a mess! And poor, poor Ianto. We hardly knew you ...
I wonder how the real spy fared in all of this ...
