Cool fic so far, I know it's been a while but I really hope you update this one day :)

I particularly like your last chapter and 'cross-training' is a very good idea! Thank you - I am enjoying this story.

I'm so glad that you posted! Do you think you can get it done in 10 after all? Or may it be stretched out once again? I loved the chapter and I loved the way the story it going! Cant wait to see what happens next!

It was so great. I really loved it! I just love that Mal found his soul mate thank you.
Can't wait to see what happens next!

Goodness! i have one more chapter to go but i have school tomorrow! WOW can you write! At first i was a little worried on how you were writing Mal, but it makes sense. Can't wait till the next chapter. Thanks!

I liked how you've managed to incorporate Malcolm's aquaphobia into the story and given reasons why he is aquaphobic. I like how his aquaphobia was brought on in this instance by the bath tub, you described his thoughts and feelings really well and overall this was a nice chapter :)

Sorry, it's taken me so long to review! I've been taking a break from writing/reading fanfic because of my sixth-form work and stuff, but I'm slowly coming back to this site :)

Well, wasn't this chapter saucy! XD

I loved how nervous Mal was at first, and I think you have their 'drunk' characters spot on, that's totally how I'd imagine their speech to be if they were drunk :) You're very good at writing Trip and Mal as characters, they were completely believable and I can't wait to get on to the next chapter, well done!

I found it! They didn't know about Mestral until "Carbon Creek" in season two, three episodes after "Two Days and Two Nights"

I'm loving this story so far. The first chapter had me scared - how DARE you kill Malcolm? - but chapter 2 made it better, and now I'm really enjoying chapter 3

Firstly, before I get on to the review proper, I need to apologise for being an ungrateful and totally unmitigated arse. I promised you months ago that I would review this and never actually did. If you wish to attack me with a spork for this, I will happily lend you said kitchen implement.

The fact that Chef is a temporal agent is absolutely delightful - especially with details such as the Greek coin there to make it more vivid - and he and his fellow agent provided excellent comic relief while present.

Your substitution of an Earth language for an alien language worked well - for someone not familiar with the language used - and nothing related to that seemed out of place (which is the best possible sign, all things considered).

I was glad to see Malcolm's aquaphobia acting up and I look forward to reading the rest of the story.

Am enjoying the story so far and am eager to read the next chapter - am surprised, though, that there isn't a shower. Seems like the Risans would know that a shower can provide a romantic venue for some folks...I'm off to chapter 4!

Oh wow! I love where you're going with this!

As I have reviewed in chapter one already, I cannot go back and do it again. Therefore, both my review for chapter one and chapter two are on this one:

Chapter 1: WHAT? Mal's dead? It's really interesting to see Trip's reaction to it, though.

Chapter 2: The scene with the temporal agents was wonderful. I like the fact that you made Chef one of them! (little side fact: Did you know they only created Daniels because they couldn't get Wil Wheaton to reprise his TNG role of Wesley Crusher?)

I loved Trip's reaction to Chef telling him what he will and will not do on Risa, and I loved how Roberts approached Mal.

Great chapters!

To MrsTripTucker and Seacook: oops, my bad! I don't know how that happened! (MTT: you might want to

...and I only killed Malcolm in Chapter 1! Chapter 2 explains that he's not supposed to have died THEN, and why...

Hint: You don't think that "alien business card" Chef gave Trip was a "20 percent off your stay" coupon, do you?

2nd hint: You don't think those "back issues of technical journals" on display padds are just 'only' technical journals, do you?

3rd hint: And of *course* there's a reason they've been moved to the penthouse floor! Malcolm is *so* cute, but he's *so* clueless at times... ;)

Got your message but had trouble replying (long story). Am enjoying the story but have to tease at least a little: I left Malcolm in PAIN at the end of chapter 6 of my story, whereas YOU left him DEAD at the end of chapter 1 of yours…so how come I'M the horrid one? :-) Full reply coming via email...

Hey! It's MrsTripTucker! You have private messaging disabled on your account, so I couldn't respond to you directly.

No, I have not read Glory1863's fics. At least I don't think I have. Though, I would be perfectly willing to.

I am not quite sure how expects us to do beta reading, but I always use email. I can only accept files in .doc format.

As far as what I will read, I am a hardcore slash fan, and would love to read for Trip/Mal! I kinda pair them together myself, when I'm not too busy pairing Trip with Archer. Your summary is intriguing, to say the least!

I am generally quick when I get things to beta. I have a class today (college student), but I would be able to have it back today (perhaps tonight) if you sent it to me. I try to prioritise things sent for betaing, as I know what it's like to have to wait for a busy person to get around to doing mine.

Here's my email adress, should you decide to use me as your beta: sg1_freak yahoo . com I added spaces, becuase I know that web adresses won't show up in comments, and I didn't want to risk it with this.
