That was so sweat. At first I was gonna go to bed crying cause Phlox died, (I'm his biggest, and probably only, fan), but the ending worked out good to me.

Keep trekin'!

I have to say I'm happy you wrote part 3 in a way. The sad ending was effective before, but I hate sad endings! And good to see Cutler given decent air-time! It didn't suck. Uh-huh. No way.

I know what you mean about hating endings. It's like losing something you won't get back again.

Aww...thanks for writing this ending...I was so very sad that Phlox died. I loved this ending much better. I couldn't bear having any member of the crew die.

that was a great expansion. Really great story, but it was much better because of this extra chgater. I'm a sucker for good ending, and hate to guess!

Excellent! Since the good doc is *not* human, it worked out to have him survive his injuries. And you couldn't leave the Enterprise without its doctor! Thanks for writing this "extra" chapter. Keep coming with the great stories, okay?

NO! Not Phlox! That was so unexpected! (And very well written I might add!) Keep up the groovy work! _

That was so sad! I normally find the doctor hard to like, but I liked him alright here! Which means you must have done a good job, lol. I also liked the way you made Malcolm take over throughout the beginning of the mission, even though Trip was the senior officer. It's something I've noticed him do on the show, you really caught the characters well in very few words. Well done, now go do another!

Sob! This is really powerful, and I like how you've shown the Doctor's strong side. Wow.

Great story! The detail was perfect, the letter did a wonderful job of hinting what was coming without giving the ending all away. And sad as it was at the end, I do really like it, but maybe I just like dark stories.

Aww...poor Doctor Phlox. He was very noble and brave in his sacrifice. This is such a great story.

Great story, but please, this can't happen! You have to write another chapter-the daring rescue! Please?

Oooohhhh! Looks like the start of another great story! Do hurry with the next chapter!

Hope you're not goin' ta leave me hangin' too long here.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love cliff hangers. Please hurry with the next ch.

So what's next?
