Misa, Ryouko, Hiroe, The Experts of Fanfic Review (sans Sheila) commented:

    But now we were at a crossroads.  The designs could go no further 
until we knew exactly who would use the designs.  For months I had had 
several people under observation and investigation, and I chose who I 
thought best from among those.  In one case I had to nudge events a 
little to make her more receptive to my proposal, but in the end all 
agreed to join me.

RYOUKO:  Vague, but if you think about it, what is meant is quite clear.
<beat>  She obviously had Asagiri's boyfriend killed.

C+Cer from Hell (aka CCfH): Have none of you one considered the other, more
commonly held belief of what event it was that Stingray-san had to 'nudge'
to get the personnel she wanted?  Specificially, the dance audition of
Yamazaki Linna-san?

    Why did I go after her?  She'd lost everything that had ever been 
dear to her, and she was definitely not thinking straight.  She was 
going to be nothing but trouble and I really didn't have time for it.  
She had already tried to kill me once; I would need to watch my back.  
But if I could direct her rage at the world to more appropriate 
targets....

RYOUKO:  See?  See how ruthless she is?

MISA:  Ryouko, shut up.  Ever since you wrote those articles, it's been
nothing but "we're harboring a megalomaniac" ...

CCfH: With Stingray-san, sometimes it seems to be close to the line.

    ....Five minutes.

MISA:  Brr.  Am I the only one who gets chills when I hear that expression?

HIROE:  No, I get them too.

RITSUKO:  I will admit that I become a bit nervous ...

RYOUKO:  <quivering> I don't know what you're talking about.

CCfH: Where's Sailor Mars when you need her?

    "Rule number eight: Do keep in contact with the other members 
regularly."
    Yeesh.  Just how many of these things _were_ there, anyway?
    "Rule number nine: The members do not know each other outside of 
this organization."
    Wait a minute!  How do you keep in contact with someone you're not 
supposed to know?  "Hey, uh...."  I tried to break into her little 
speech, but she went on over me.

HIROE: <plaintive> Are we *ever* going to get an explanation for what she
had in mind when she came up with those rules?

CCfH: I have it on good authority that at least one of the authors tried to
fit it in. Maybe in the rewrites, maybe in the next fic....

     "And if I am?"  It was hard to not laugh at the look on his face 
then.  "Oh, you!"  I leaned forward and kissed the end of his nose.  
"You know there's nothing going on between Taki and me."

MISA:  <mildly horrified> "Oh, you!" ?

CCfH: This is not the Priss you are looking for?  uh... she's in love?
um... I hear the alternative candidate was "Ah, Sweetums!"...

    We would fight against the hungry light, come what may.

HIROE:  Oooooooohhh ...

MISA:  Very nice.  I think Sheila will regret not seeing this one.

RITSUKO:  I agree.  I think it can be safely said that this "take", as it
were, on the Knight Sabres early personalities is greatly superior in form
and in execution to "Grand Mal".

MISA:  The "Oh, you" thing was over the top, though.

CCfH: She was smoking bananas? And maybe Priss was smoking bananas too?

RYOUKO:  <grudging> Despite my dislike for the Sabers on a personal level,
I'm forced to concur with my colleagues.  An excellent piece of work.

Fade out.

Chris Davies.
