Date: 06/08/2012 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue
This is riveting drama, even in my second read-through. You didn't shy away from the depth of what they'd all be feeling, and definitely left me feeling that everything would be okay. Well done. :)
The war with Spectra has ended, leaving Mark, Jason and Princess in comas.
Excerpt
If he could have, Jason would have gasped. On the bed to his right lay Mark. He looked pale and still… lifeless… his eyes were closed and there was no movement. Did he, Jason, look like that too?
Princess sat between his bed and Mark’s, and took Jason’s hand. He wished that he could feel her touch.
“I’m sorry, Jason…” she said, tears streaming down her face, “I’m sorry I wasn’t convincing enough. But I know you’re there, and I know that you can hear me. I won’t give up on you!”

Date: 03/20/2012 Title: Chapter 1: Introduction
We all do that. :) I've written things that I saw as humor and later as I go through on the next draft have realized that in fact, it was kind of tragic or cruel, and done a complete 180. Then someone will tell me their take on it and I'll go "huh I never thought of that either."
I wasn't going to say anything but it just kept bugging me, picturing Mark being raised as part of a team and a "family" and then being out in exile, wondering what exactly he was fighting for in the first place. My reaction says as much about me as it does the story, I'm sure!



Date: 03/17/2012 Title: Chapter 15: Epilogue
While I really like most of this story (I've read it more than once now because of that), the end bugs me. Jason's so jealous that he would drive their best friend off to another planet? Frankly in this one I think Mark is the bigger man by far in the end. If Jason's relationship with Princess is so weak that he can't tolerate their best friend staying there, well, they're in trouble. And frankly he's a pretty crappy friend for letting Mark isolate himself from everyone he loves just so Jason doesn't have to deal with petty jealousy.
But usually when I'm that annoyed with something, it means the author created a complex, believable story and characters. ;)
Author's Response: Fair enough. When I was writing this, I couldn't imagine how Mark would 'fit into the equation', given that he can read their minds ALL the time. I wasn't thinking of Jason 'driving him off' at all... more that Mark chose this voluntarily because he didn't want to be in close quarters as they were spending their lives together. It';'s been a long time since i wrote this, but I don't think I was viewing this as you see it at all. Not to say that your view isn't valid, only that it's something that never occurred to me...

Austin Powers: rewritten for the Gatch/BOTP universe!
Excerpt
“So… Danger is my middle name?” the Condor grinned.
“From now on you two are Mark and Jason, collectively known as Team MoJo.”
“Now, let me introduce you to the final member of your team.” Anderson said, opening a door. Mark gasped as Jun entered.
“But, you said Jun would be frozen for another nine months!” he cried.
“This isn’t Jun.” smirked Anderson, pleased to have, at least momentarily, gotten a leg up on these two reckless young men.
“Pleased to meet you… Dad.” grinned the Jun-look-alike, holding out her hand. “I’m Princess.”
The Eagle looked as if he were going to keel over from shock.
“Well, isn’t this a fascinating surprise.” drawled the Condor.

What is Keyop really thinking, behind all of his burbles?
Excerpt
I offered a woeful smile. My father, while a brilliant, and well-intentioned, man, really didn’t know me very well. He wasn’t my real father. I wasn’t even sure who my real father was. I was conceived in a Petri dish, in my father’s laboratory: some kind of experiment to create a ‘genetically perfect’ human.
What they got was far from perfect. But my father didn’t realize that. He had things to do, jobs to perform, and demands on his time because of his position as Chief of Galaxy Security for the Federation of Planets.
Even though I hadn’t seen him much, I loved my father. But he had no idea who I really was. He thought I was some kind of sweet, innocent boy, who looked at life through rose-colored glasses.
He couldn’t have been further from the truth.

What happens between Jason & Princess one Friday night?
Excerpt
“Why?” she demanded. “What’s wrong with hanging out with you four?”
“It’s not four of us right now.” Jason replied. “With Tiny and Mark at the Academy, it’s just me and Keyop, and he’s just a kid. So that leaves me.”
Princess pondered this stark truth.
“I can’t get close to anyone.” she explained. “I can talk and laugh with other people, but I can’t tell them anything about myself: what I do or what career I’m training for.”
She looked at him, tears in her eyes.
“I have so many secrets, Jase. It tears me up inside. It’s easier to keep everyone at arms’ length.”
She sighed. “You must think I’m crazy. The rest of you hang out with kids at school. But I can’t do that. No one really understands… no one ever could.”
Jason took Princess’ hands in his.
“I understand, Prin.”

There's a lot of cute to this story, but I think it's pretty mean to Mark, for her to pretend all the time that she's in love with him. Makes me lose some respect for them both to risk hurting Mark like that.
Author's Response: LOL, it wasn't meant to be serious in that sense. But I can see what you mean.
After getting her shoe back from Katse, Jun believes Katse may be able to identify her. Her fears are confirmed when she hears the latest news report. Will Jun be forced to leave the Science Ninja Team? What will her teammates do to help her?

It always seemed to me like there should be more fallout from the Jigokiller thing. The flowers were a nice touch, I'm wondering who on the team thought of that one. I have a hard time believing it was Ken, as much as I adore him. :) Maybe it was Janet!

This ending certainly suits your take on BOTP. :)
I don't have much of a problem with the end of the first Gatch series. Joe's whole first series character arc was driving toward his own destruction, and there was no way for Ken to know if he'd need all of the others with him or not in order to save the world. Joe's not leaving them a message about where he was going so they could at least follow put him in that situation (which honestly I found a bit surprising, I'd think he'd want them to follow).
Another part that made me roll my eyes a little was Jun's selfishness at preventing Ken from climbing in. Certainly I understood the sentiment, but I thought it made her look weak, demanding that the whole world be allowed to die when it could have possibly been saved. I was particularly surprised that Ken did as she wished. Being so duty-minded, I'd have expected otherwise, or for him to decide that he was 100% sure climbing in would accomplish nothing.
The great thing is that the show is complex enough to inspire such debates, dicussions, and AU's! Congrats on finishing up. :)
Author's Response:
Thanks, Chris. All true, but what really got my goat was more than those two themes: it was the team taking off without turning over every rock to look for Joe. I can understand everything else...but THAT... As for Jun...that scene brings wonder of the same thing at first, but in retrospect it could also be read that it's the moment where she, all of them, had finally given up. They'd just been forced to leave their gunner to bleed to death; they are seconds from their own with no plausible way to stop the black hole device; and suddenly she's faced with the prospect of watching Ken get himself ground into hamburger. An ugly end coming just got uglier, so she's dragging him back for one last moment of peace before the lights go out. Just my impression. :-)
