You really have made the Klingons ruthless! I LIKE it! I think they should be much grittier and more fearsome than what we've seen on the shows. At some point, they just became tall guys with funny ridges that just grunted all of the time. K'Vada also seems like he's no fool.
I like how the situation on Cardassia loosely mirrors what happened in Iraq just after the war. We have good Cardassians, rebel Cardassians, and many dead Cardassians...and overall just a madly chaotic situation.
Author's Response:
The Klingons here are merely being who and what they are... shame on the Federation for forgetting that. Good eye. I began writing this story shortly after the beginning of the Iraqi insurgency, and I thought a similar situation would make for a good story examining the pitfalls of occupation, nationbuilding and post-war reconstruction in the wake of the Dominion War.
Glad you're enjoying it.

Man...Klingons and their honor. It's looking rough for the crew. Hoping Sandhurst can pull something off here, but I don't think he can.
Author's Response:
Well, sometimes you get the Klingons, and sometimes the Klingons get you.

Woah, that was a tense confrontation!
You did a great job of portraying the moral dilemma Captain Sandhurst is facing and it is so interesting to see a Starfleet officer out of his depth and trying to swim. Makes a refreshing change, as I have already said, from the all-mighty Picard, or Sisko, or Janeway, who never really seemed not to know what to do.
Again, an excellent chapter and am looking forward to reading the last one!
Author's Response:
Yes, the situation has escalated way over Sandhurst's head, and he's well out of his depth. I'm pleased you're enjoying the moral quandry he and the crew find themselves thrust into.
