Thats the job mate, I've buried a lot of good friends over the years but I saved a lot of lives...somewhere I hope the cosmic balance is at least even. I spent the last ten years of my life hunting monsters and you're right, there never seems to be a shortage of them but all you can do is keep taking them down just as fast as you can. that said, if you're done you're done; you do no one any good getting zapped because you stayed in the game to long, you have family and they have to figure into your decision also. Do need to talk to your family though, let them know you're safe, no right letting them worry any longer than they have to.

So never shot against a six year old huh sniper? Scared are yo LOL...call it literary liscence, a really huge literary liscence. But remember they shot Max's rifles and they have nanites on board enhancing everything...still a really big literary liscence - but it was just too cute a scene not to use

yeah, and you wouldn't belive how many ideas i get. the fun part is posting something like we're gonna get max a boyfriend, then sitting back and watching the explosions

She still bruised up but a day in the pod would be enough to fix welts and any surface cuts. Plus you don't see her scars as bad because the nanites and the pod can reduce those as well. Remember Max thought about removing, or at least reducing, his scars but the girls like them. So as usual he let it be even though he's a little self conscious of them. Also you remember in BITG, Tali had scars on her back and bottom but those are almost gone now. Also remember that Max improved the pods and the nanites, that's how Nadi got preggers, experimental nanites. And Gam is right, I left so many paths to follow in this chapter, mainly because I hadn't decided myself where I wanted to go...still don't know really I'll try to get through this chapter by the weekend...there is a lot to cover. I may actually break it into two chapters. 61 is called A Daughter's Love...think you can guess where most of the chapter will be spent Still haven't thought about Mommy Dearest...is she a victim, a monster, or just broken? Also I want a day in school to dramatize Kara's transformation And there is a scene with Petra, Emma, and Max that has been eating a hole in my brain so much smut, so little time

I would love to but I do not look good with either pink or blue fingernail polish. But then my great granddaughters favorite colors are pink and purple. If I end up wearing either color that means that I lost to a four old.

The ghost never leave. I can not visit the wall in DC without getting chills and tears in my eyes because some of my friends are on it and I know of two that were in the same area with me in the jungle. At least the helmet saved you. I went into the jungle with a soft bush hat on. Helmet made to much noise and was heavy to carry. As much weight that I could leave at the base was fine with me and the others. I usually carried about 140 pounds of equpment on me and if I got shot in the head I would be dead. I have been shot in the arm and leg so I know that it hurts like hell. Like everyone is saying, just remember the ones that you did save. They can go on living. Remember the ones that did not in memory. If you let it tear you up you will never fully recover and then you will be no good to anyone and I believe that you are to good to just give up on life just yet. At 24 you have a lot to live for. As to making the call - some are good calls and some are bad ones but they all have to be done sometimes in our life. Keep the faith and get well soon.

Glad you made an account. Was going to click a "like" on this post BUT the fact you are talking about retiring deterred me. Maybe you might consider something like Mangus and train the newbies. I do agree that it is probably time to keep the body out of the overly hostile areas. B

OR "I'm not bad but the bad don't mess with me"?? B

I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way! Lucky rabbit!

Oh you're BBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDD!!

Really enjoying this conversation and speculation. Anything I was planning to add has already been said. We seem to have a "hive mind" similar to, dare I say it, Legion. All newcomers, you WILL be assimilated. (OK, maybe we're the Borg).

I was just going to post when I read your post BOSS. I was going to say you must love the way you get everyone talking about your stories. To me it says that your writing is so good people talk as if it is real life. keep up the good work.

Remember when Emma was sick and Petra held her hair back, she said she did it because Max wasn't there to do it so it became her job. She se's herself more as the beta male, doing things that Max would do if he could. And Emma still sort of sees her as that broken little girl that she helped that day in the shower; she has a thing for injured kittens, just like she did for Becca. This time however, it's Max who has fallen head over heals for Petra so Emma should worry about being pushed out - could happen...Nah

Guest_majormarioc I did save a lot but it was my call to not go in REAL LIFE!! You make the calls because that is what you do and I'm guessing you do it damn good. You lose a few to save a lot. Hard - yes. Rejoice on the saves and keep doing what you do.\ B

I'm glad, for the most part, the mission was a success, try to not concentrate on the ones you couldn't, rejoice on the ones you did. Funny thing about Legion being sentient.... He/they, have the capability to make their own decision regarding that. We can teach our kids not to do something, but, they always have the choice to listen or not to listen. Could Charles and Sarah see that as somewhat of a terrist option, yes, but, they could always weigh that against the further culling of the traffickers. Sometimes, vigilante justice is better off in the long run than trying to let the inherently corrupt justice system, the proof of how corrupt it is in the story is the number of politicos, clergy, and police entangled in the web. The only ones that Max can truly trust, are the ones he has closest to him, anyone else his trust can be easily betrayed with underlying corruption. Max has already been kind of burned on that one with Mike and Volstock, lets hope that he's not further betrayed by anyone close to him.

Don't judge others, you haven't lived their life. - Bigman I bow to the Master, that is the major theme of the story. Don't judge what you don't understand. And what some see as taboo, others see as normal, just because it isn't for you, don't look down on it. Besides, who has the right to say what is acceptable and what isn't - live and let live I say. Ok, off the soap box Oh, that and I really hate people who hurt children...my pet peeve and I tend to react worse than Max does.

That's right, Badgers in the final four!
