I've always liked the idea of a roguish Giles, a man at home in any terrain, kind of like a British Indiana Jones. In the new chapter, that was what I was shooting for. I envision him part-Rupert, part-Ripper, capable of killing, combat, and survival in even the most trying of circumstances.
Here's the latest:

Summary: In the alternate-LA, Fred explains her theory for why the barriers between dimensions have begun to break down. After Fred's presentation, Buffy succumbs to continued exhaustion. Back in South America, Rachel Greenspan deals with Ethan's death, and Giles' part in it. Also, Giles finds a photograph which leads him to believe that Rachel has a secret.
There's a lot of techno-babble in this chapter. Thanks to my Dad and brother for a life time of Star Trek, Battletech and Arthur C. Clarke.
