Sorry I'm late, but this puppy takes a while to read.
I suppose you've been briefed about the (many) typos by now so
I'll not get into that.
Suprisingly, the foreknowledge provided by 2937 Chapter does
little to detract from any part of the story (although I might have missed
a few of the clues without it). It does, unfortunately, make some parts
downright painful to read.
Is there any particular reason why Rei-chan is acting like an
utterly paranoid _twit_ all though this (unprovoked attacks on creatures
of Great Power are neither wise nor considerate).
BTW, It is a good thing to see Ryoko owed an apology for a change
(might be even better for her to get one... or two... or....)
New Characters: You'll throttle me if I start on the Latus
comparisons, won't you. ^_^
Seriously, these people are more than fairly interesting (despite
use of the Secret Extragovernmental Force Defending Humanity From The
Shadows chiche)... but I do hope you drop _something_ more than vauge
hints about their background (if not in the Together Again series than in
a sidestory of some sort).
Nice look at Shampoo from the POV of someone dealing with her as
neither an enemy or on one end of a massive crush... come to think of it
the same goes for Aeka-hime to a lesser degree.
*sigh* I will be genuinely suprised if Saotome even considered a
civil discussion with Kuonji's collaborator (To Ranma: You just _had_ to
get HER hopes up you fragging *MORON*!!!).
My guess about the three: Paul, Aethan, and Michel (who buys it)
Most touching scene from Washuu's lab, you demonstrate her
feelings for both Tenchi and Ryoko very eloquently (although I am still
wondering why the crew was not loaded for bear and headed to Tokyo in
Ryo-oh-ki within an hour of Aeka's aborted call).
Good Job (as usual).
Later.
