Well Oivas, first of all thank you, you have given me a greater gift than you could know. I have a long list of things I want to hear stories about, that would have been possible future prompts, this hits so many of them, as well as this round so very beautifully <3 but damn, are you a little psychic over there, this one would have fulfilled one of the two i had lined up as the next prompt just as well as the current one! But then, you just made the choice very easy, so an extra thank you ;)

This. Is. Amazing. You have a gift for plots that you could sell to script writers. You build the tension well in the uncharacteristic crew behaviour, the compulsion, and it would carry so well to the screen. Not to detract from how well you tell a story, but some people have that knack for a story that would make a movie, and I always think you are one of them. I love the explanation for what had razed the earth, a whole new meaning to a good plan backfiring there! And damn… what a back up plan for humanity. You had me guessing where this was going from the moment they met, i really thought the mirror ship was going to be a back up organ plan just in case that radiation had leaked through, but i was actually glad this had a more logical and harmonious ending. Quite the ride, thank you very much!!
