*blushes* Thanks, bb. I'm glad the scientific perspective is working for you. I knew I was going out on a cliff a little bit with this, but for my own sanity, I needed to do it. I didn't know what other people would think, but I'm glad it worked. :)

*grins* Yep, new fic. I'm glad you like the details. And... of course it couldn't be THAT easy. I'm tired of cheap plot tricks, and I'm tired of our canon ignoring the realistic consequences of the things that happen. So... time to go down the rabbit hole. :D

And thank you for pointing out the formatting problem. It's fixed!

Yessssssss! I was debating on holding out until everything was posted, but nope. Gonna read it chapter by chapter, and then reread the whole deal when the last's posted. Thanks for posting!

PS - Your medical details and knowledge make this scientist happy. :D

Why wait? You can have tasty bite-sized nuggets and spread out the indulgence. :D

And I'm glad the medical and scientific details are working for you. Obviously, it's all science fiction, but I do try to make things actually fit together enough so that my fellow scientists don't read it and find themselves thrown out of the story because it's completely ludicrous.

I might have just burst into tears seeing this post. I SO needed this today. I'm hanging by a proverbial thread this week.

I will be back with a real comment after dinner and I crawl into bed to read.

So yeah. I still can't put into words how much I love this. I'm so glad you are posting it as a WIP. I never got to comment when you asked, so YES AND THANK YOU.

I'm so glad you chose to fill in this time. And I absolutely cannot wait to see what you come up with!

As always, it will be a privilege to read!

*grins* I'm glad you're enjoying it! You know I might need to tap you for test-reading and plot feedback. Are you up for it? :D

[mga1999]

Always. I'm off Wed & Sat now which I know don't line up well with yours. I'm home at 6 my time other days. So hit me up anytime.

Hehehe... yes, new fic. And yeah, I needed to do SOMETHING with the whole "Khan Super Blood" bullshit. It's not perfect, but I think it's the best we can do with the canon we were given.

I hope I can hold up to my usual standard. You're making me nervous! Performance anxiety here! :p
