Thanks! It's fun having new characters to play with--especially with all the misdirection and ambiguity about their motives. They could be up to anything. Thanks for reading.

This line made me giggle: Charlotte wondered whether Dan was joking, or how much he was joking, and whether Miles would kill him when he felt better.

And this one: Miles could make Dan feel socially competent and that was saying something. Hee! It's true, though :)

Nice job with Dan's internal monologue. His voice is so fun to play with.

I think Charlotte's theory is right & the three of them have interlocking assignments. It will be interesting once they reveal more on the show, but for now it's fun to speculate in fic.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked Dan's head-talk. I worried about him, because I figured he would always be getting distracted by physics and I'm not good with physics and not sure about stream-of-consciousness either, so he had to stay somewhat on track. I kind of like Miles and Dan together--they're both talented in their fields and inept socially, the main difference being that Miles doesn't care about being social and Dan wants to be social and doesn't understand how. That's why I let Miles pick up the joke about not dying in the next ten minutes.

I am enjoying speculating on the freighter's manifest for the Island, but I find I can't write fast enough to get a story posted before the episodes send it AU! I've already lost one fic to canon-fire (so to speak) and I fear the second part of this one will be AU before I get it onto electrons. It took so long for episodes to start and now they're moving too fast!

That was a great deal of fun! Loved this, and many other lines: He looked bedraggled and something about him suggested a lost cat, following after someone in hopes of being taken care of. That's Miles, all right!

Poor Miles. I had such fun, being nasty to him and then trying to figure out what the world would look like to a guy with a concussion and the ability to see ghosts. I'm glad you liked it; this was my first attempt to switch POV characters in a single fic, and I tried to make the four voices clear enough easily to tell who was who. I am really hoping that Miles' ability to talk to people who were alive in the past will turn out to link to Dan's time-travel experiments and Charlotte's anthropology background, or even just her background--I'm not picky--as long as the team fit together in a united usefulness. Thanks for reading!
