Hi,
Great part.
Beautiful!
“I called MetroGen,” Bernie continued. “The snowstorm provided a good reason why the baby was born here. We should take him in soon, though; get a birth certificate and a check up.”
“When should we transfer her powers back?” Jonathan asked.
“We can do it whenever she’s ready. I’m sure she’ll appreciate having the powers back. I doubt the pain is a lot of fun,” Bernie mused.
“Thank you, for everything, Bernie,” Martha replied, gratefully. “I don’t know what we would have done without you.”
Hey, almost like my son.
:rolleyes: Jonathan and Martha flying in a snowstorm that is romantic.
“I used standard evasive maneuvers while it was possible. When it became obvious that we were going to crash, I merely followed the instructions of my commanding officer—Zara—in bringing down the craft. I was knocked unconscious by the landing and did not regain consciousness until well after we’d been rescued, so I am afraid I cannot help you with those events.”
“But regarding the landing, sir, Zara has recommended you for a promotion and a commendation for your efforts. According to her, your actions saved the lives of the entire crew.”
Rin smiled slightly but shook his head. “I am afraid the First Minister is merely being generous and gracious in her praise. Were it not for her direction, I do not think we would have survived that crash. In the aftermath, she led the crew away from danger and saved all of our lives, including of course, mine.”
I probably go back and read again because I have a different impression that Zara save the ship and everyone panic.
He never mention what instruments on the ship were sabotage.
“It seems you have escaped service on the inquest, Lieutenant,” Talan said. “Your integrity can thus remain intact.”
“Commander, I know that you do not believe that what I serve is worthwhile…” Enza began softly in response.
“You serve a worthy goal,” Talan interrupted. “I admit, your objectives and mine on occasion conflict, but I respect your work, though I am personally ill suited to carry it out myself. When it comes to this investigation, however, all I can say is that I know little of backroom politicking and care for it even less. This inquest is not impartial and it taints all of us who have any part in it.”
Enza tilted her chin upward to look her superior in the eye. “I have to believe that justice will survive any such attacks, by enemies without or within.”
“And what if it cannot?”
“Then you are wrong, Commander,” Enza replied boldly. “And what I serve is not a worthy goal.” In silence, she turned and walked away.
I'm little confuse with this two character?
Who did Clark commission to investigate and report only to him?
Clark don't seem to be a good strategic.
She wasn’t going to give up at it and she’d proved time and again, that she wasn’t ever going to give up on him. But how long exactly, was she supposed to wait? What if he was away for years? Or decades? What if he never returned? How long was she supposed to spend alone, married to someone no more tangible than a ghost? For how long would a few years’ of happy memories be companionship enough?
:rolleyes: It already seem like an eternity.
“Neither could I.” He resumed staring out at the stars. Silence reigned between them for a long moment. “Is something bothering you?” Clark asked.
“I believe the inquest to investigate the charges brought against Lieutenant Commander Ching is more interested in a speedy conviction than the truth.”
“So do I,” Clark said simply.
“An innocent man is about to be destroyed.”
“This war has destroyed a lot of innocent people,” he countered, but without conviction. “Ching doesn’t believe he’s any different. He’s just one more person.”
“Suffering hardly excuses injustice.”
Why Clark make sure they do a correct investigation?
Clark seem to cold about Ching.
"On the chain around your neck, there was something on the end of it."
He pulled the chain back out and held the little gold band between his thumb and forefinger. "We wear these on our fingers as a symbol of marriage."
"And that belongs to your wife...on Earth?"
Is dangerous for Clark to acknowledge he is married.
More ASAP, please.
MAF
and I am hoping that they can clear Ching soon!
More soon please.
