EW's initial post inspired me! ***** Why had he ever done this? It was going to take ages to fix it... if it ever did get fixed. No woman would want to look at him now with anything other than disgust. No wonder everyone wore these awful things! He glared at the green mask in his hands. What a mistake! Join Galactor! See the world! Share in plundered riches! No one had ever said anything about a mullet.

LOL! Do I ever feel sorry for that guy. Of course he probably will not stay alive long enough for it to even grow out. Devil2

TJ: LOL, I still maintain that the masks have brown mullet hair attached to them, so that all the soldiers look the same. Smile

I used to think that too. But then there are episodes where we see the masks and there is clearly no hair attached. LOL, there are no eyeholes in that mask either!!! Plus, when the Team 'borrows' uniforms to wear them, they clearly have their own hair. This is especially obvious when Jun wears a Galactor uniform.

Hmm maybe it's detachable. Smile I'd never noticed the lack of eye holes, that's pretty funny!

Jublke - Awww, I hope Jason soon realises that she was only acting on his best interest... TJ - Hmmm, as if simply joining Galactor wasn't a big enough mistake, eh?

jublke it is great to see your muses have become active again. This is a very moving piece, she really needs some comforting - I wonder if she went to talk to Princess she could get some (and coincidently see Jason again.)

It does sound like Camille is going through a hard time. Still, Jason doesn't strike me as someone to let Chief Anderson stand in his way if there's something he really wants.

I know we love happy endings and all, but given the secrecy Jason has to live under, I'm not sure he'd ever be able to trust her after this. He'd warned and warned her that things would be bad. I highly doubt he hasn't talked to her due to orders from the Chief. I suppose it might depend on the ultimate outcome. If this doesn't destroy anything in the end then perhaps he could eventually forgive her. Still, I think he would forever have a wall between them. Of course now that her father is aware he could also make things even worse for the team and the Chief if Jason kept seeing his daughter.

Trust my beta readers to keep me honest ... Wink You know, trying to write a serial on these challenges is a lot harder than it looks! My hat's off to everyone who manages to keep a cohesive plot line. In this case, I need to go back & figure out exactly who Camille's father is, how much does he know, and how bad was the security breach. I'd like it to be bad enough to burn Jason but not enough to blow his cover. At this point, I'm wondering if Camille has to be sent away to Zarkadia or something in a witness relocation program ... On the other hand, she can't exactly describe what Jason looks like ... Ugh. Writing OCs and keeping them from becoming Mary Sues / Gary Stus is hard work. And ... back to the topic ... Let's see some more mistakes! Smile

Poor Camille if she has to relocate because of all this ... depends for sure on how far off the deep end her dad goes and if he makes it known that she personally knows the Condor. Writing a serial is definitely not easy! I keep trying to make progress on Club Aphrodite ... need to give it another shot. Am so behind, aiee. Smile At least once I get on a roll, though, I've got lots of prompts to work through.

Jublke, it's very hard to write an ongoing story with random prompts. I don't even try. I have enough on my plate with my 'off the top of my head' 'Had to get this out' storyline. Plus the jumping around involved drives me nuts! I need to work with a consistent timeline in one direction. I'm impressed with what you've done so far.

Continuing from where we left them off in Bradbury's prompt no. 53, here are Anderson and Sarah again: //"How did you do it?" asked Sarah, poking her head in Anderson's office. He looked up from the stack of papers in front of him. "How did I do what?" Sarah entered the room, gave him a quick kiss. "How did you manage to get G-Force to behave? I just passed Jason in the corridor. He didn't smirk, laugh, snort, or any of the other things I would expect him to do, after you told them about us." "It's simple," said Anderson, leaning back. "I blackmailed them." "You what?" "They were badgering me to treat them like adults. I used it against them. I said I had a test for them, to see if they could be trusted to behave as adults. Then I dropped the bomb." "It's no wonder you're the head scientist," sighed Sarah. "I would've cowed under, if I had them united against me as a team." She laughed as she said that. Anderson allowed himself a short break in this work -- a very short one -- and sat on his visitors' couch with Sarah, keeping the door closed. Not that they were hiding their relationship. But there was no reason that he could see to advertise it. "I learn from my mistakes," he grinned. "You mean you were dating in the past, and G-Force found out?" Sarah was taken aback. Anderson had not been dating for years, as far as she knew. Or maybe there things she didn't know. Anderson saw her stricken look. "Oh no, no, nothing like that. I would have told you! I'm not a lovestruck teenager, hiding my previous girlfriends! No, I just learnt, early enough, that you should never, ever treat these kids as kids. You should treat them as a very dangerous enemy. I would know, I trained them. So, blackmail is more than justified." Sarah snuggled closer to him. "Five minutes more?"//

Something like this? Mark: Give them a break, will you? Jason: Aargh. Princess: Aargh. (Yes, somehow I can't think of Princess getting all misty-eyed). Keyop: Aargh. Tiny: What's the big deal?

I was thinking the same thing KT. I would love to hear the discussion the team had. They could either be elated that Anderson has finally found someone .... this means his full attention will not be on them (and they could possibly get away with more/something). Or they could be distressed that he is allowing someone into their private "family". Or anything in between.

Lol Now that the next Bradbuy's Jar prompt has been posted maybe Daniella will get to her writing and stop torturing us. Or at the very least stop leaving us in waiting.
