I'm so loving this now. Great chapter! It's nice to see that even this early, Quatre's already regarded as the leader (sort of). I feel so bad for him though, thanks to that scene with Rashid and the go-ahead-and-mourn thing. He's mature enough to prioritize the right things but it's....*sniffs*
Hee! I'm always a sucker for Quatre fics that gives that kind of effect, so thanks for this, it just completed my day.

Using books from the Bible as chapter titles is one great idea too. I'll be waiting for Apocalypse--the title of the epic itself and the feel of all the chapters just scream 'it's the end of the world!'. Yaay!! :P

I'm looking forward for the next chappy! Two people per room, hm? That means more interaction between the pilots. Can't wait to read it! Hope you get more inspired soooooon! I want to see this till the end!!

Er, by Apocalypse I mean I hope you include a chap with the title. :)
You're already done with all the books of the Torah as I can see...and I hope that doesn't really end here..uh...
*prays*

basilupdates are looove!
Keep 'em coming!

Aw! Thank you so much! That's one of the best compliments I've received!

As for the Apocalypse, that chapter of the bible is Revelation, which works for many things. I've been trying to have the chapters relevant, Genesis being the start of the whole scenario, Numbers in the bible is the preparations for the march from Mt. Sinai, and Exodus of course being the march (which is reversed in the fic - Exodus is before Numbers - but nevermind that!) Deuteronomy is the arrival and laying down the law.

Leviticus isn't something I will put in, because it deals with the rituals and the covenant between Yahweh and the Jews, can't really fit that in.

Though that does come up with the conundrum of what to name the next chapter!

This is such a grim scenario, and we don't even know what's really going on yet. I like how everyone is holding up and doing their part in the crisis--that kind of courage is really inspiring.

I'm really looking forward to more!

Thank you! Well, everyone's courageous for now... not sure how long that will last though (and I really mean that ^___^ I haven't decided)

Trowa and Heero had no attachment whatsoever. They had never set foot on Earth, they had no ties to it in any way.

Hm, you sure about that? The previous chapters gave me the impression that you're following Episode Zero, with Trowa's mercenary background and all. In that case, Trowa should have spent the first fourteen years or so of his life on Earth, and Heero's most likely been down at least once as well. (Deliberate PTB vagueness my ass. :P )

Great chapter, though! *rushes on*
