And I really don't have much more to say than that.
Good taste in music you have :)

Gone for the cyberlook?
I suppose, in retrospect, it was inevitable that Mina would be the
one of us to lose her mind. Lita, Amy, and I all had our clearly defined
roles in the world Serenity had created; I was the Commandant of the Armed
Forces of the Crystal Kingdom; Amy was the Royal Physician and Scientist
Laureate; and Lita was Major Domo and Chief Bodyguard to her Majesty. All
that was left for Mina was to be Morale Officer and Aide de Camp. And she
wasn't needed for the one (Serenity's morale needing improving? With
Endymion around?!) or suited to the other.
I take it you don't embrace the Venus as Senshi sub-commander theory :)
And why would Rei be the general of the armies, and not a high priestess
or something similar?
She came to the palace less often after that. I think we couldn't
hide our revulsion enough. Amy had it the worst ... every few years,
Mina would contact her on some pretense, casually mention some new
modifications that had just come on the market, and say something about
not trusting any of the cyber-docs out there ... Eventually, Amy finally
came up with a self-repairing, self-upgrading set of bionics, installed
them in her -- getting rid of most of what was left of Mina's internal
organs, I gather -- and asked her never to darken her doorstep again.
I take it cyberware is frowned on?
Or are they just biased against it?
"That's disgusting!" I shouted. "How dare you talk about her like
that? She gave up her life for us!"
Wait...so who narrarated the first part of the story?
I'm confused...
That was a seriously powerful story, probably one of the best works of
fanfiction I've ever read.
Excellent job.
The only problem I had was I got confused as to whether the Narrarator
changed after the first section or what...the way it is written is a bit
confusing.
