This is a really interesting look at Anderson's POV (which we see so rarely) and how he views this disaster. For BOTP, this has to be one of the worst 'defeats' the Federation has suffered, and I like the way the author has tried to get at the heart of the matter while filling in the gaps and creating a realistic scenario.

I really enjoyed reading this episode from Anderson's point of view. The author did a good job rewriting this episode.

I enjoy the greater realism here (ie. Zoltar shooting the bodyguards) and Anderson's running analysis, in his thoughts, of all that's going on -makes the episode fuller and more serious than the original, written from his perspective like this (something I'm realizing that we don't get enough of, really -Anderson's perspective in fics)

Nice! We never hear from Anderson! This is such a melancholy ep- great rewrite!

Even if I'm not so familiar with many BotP episodes I must say that this is really a brilliant rewrite! I agree that in both BotP and Gatch universes, Anderson's/Nambu's POVs are rarely seen, so very much appreciated when they appear, giving the character a much more human aspect! The author did such a great job ... both with his/her writing skills and with the twist to crude realism, which we seldomly see in BotP! Thumbs up!
