“A computer science major who quotes Rodin. The world is coming to an end.”

Hehe, that made me laugh. I'm just getting to the age where you begin to see the divide between scientific people and artistic people and you begin to see the differences.

An interesting chapter, certainly, and I think I detect the presence of a few plot seeds. I guess that somewhere down the line we may get a Kat and Joel reunion? I'd like to see the dynamics of that, particularly if the latter digs deeper and gets a better idea of who (and what) Kat is. A link between an IO scientist and a rogue gen might also be exactly the thing that an unscrupulous and implacable boss might manipulate as well...

So, hot or cold with that offhand guess? Hope you update again soon (either this or your latest, I'm not fussy :P).

Gen vs normal reality. I admit this is always one of the most interesting parts of the superhero genre. Tell me; is the Gen-factor supposed to influence those around them (similar to the ta'varen from the Wheel of Time, if you've ever read that fantasy series)?

Of course, the superhero characters are more developed, and larger than life compared to their peers. I'd actually like to see more sketches of their "normal" life in the future too; the minute details are just as absorbing as the big picture and epic conspiracies, superhero fights and all that.

:)

The farther I get into this serial, the more impressed I am. I may have to hunt down some "official" Gen13 material, just for comparison.
Your writing style is very professional, and the way you write each of the characters makes them seem so much more real than many other stories I've read.
Plus, whether it was this story or the last, I loved the Heinlein quote! Stranger in a Strange Land is one of my all-time favorites.

Okay, the Incubi(?) effect is an interesting wrinkle. And I'm guessing that it doesn't work on other gens (Love the nickname!), otherwise Grunge would be a very happy man by now.

Once again, exceptional stuff. T
