It was a good day, my friends.  I started a new job today and I finished chapter 36!  I'm exhausted, and now need to proof chapter 34 again, but it was a good day.  :-)

As always, let's discuss in the comments!

Pressman is gonna shit a brick when the reports are forwarded to Starfleet Intelligence

wow what a really great chapter I love it! and the ending has me wondering if we will see from the perspective of the USS Cairo and Captain Jellico and/or Starfleet about what gothic did in saving the planet and the reaction to his ship, and i already can't wait to read next months chapter :-)

Dam I hate having to wait a month

Right, that's it, Federation, go sit down in the corner, the collectors need the doom guy special. Amazing chapter, I wasn't looking to feel incredible rage tonight, but lo and behold, here we are. Cant wait for all the fun repercussions of this little event, and I hope for the Fed's sake that when the message finally gets through their thick, kool-aide addled skulls, that they learn their damn lesson. lookin forward to next month.

So good! I love when we get how people react to gothic and his actions, more of this great writing please!

Nice. I liked the chapter a great deal. I liked the testing of the FT's engines. I also liked the deployment of the spy satellites. It would give Gothic some SIGINT abilities so he doesn't always have to go with hat in hand to Section 31 or Bajoran Intelligence, who don't have to share anything with him. Gothic responding to an attack on a Federation colony was unexpected but a great addition from the original. I liked how both the space battle and the ground fights were handled. T'Maz's analysis of when Starfleet might get ruthless against an enemy is disheartening but probably spot on with some exceptions. It's not to surprising with you take the fact of their long lives and they can spend YEARS locked in rank and position in to account. Gothic probably shouldn't have been to surprised by the colony's lack of effective response. How much information did Starfleet make available from the Tikuma? Any kind of Civil Defense Force or Militia they may have had is going to be geared more towards civil unrest, support to law enforcement and government, and natural disaster response. I would love Gothic to sit down with his crew and hold a lessons learned meeting. I could see a few spots where Gothic could of ran into trouble. Especially in the ground battle.

Phenomenal chapter. Loved every bit of it, even the flashback to the occupation. I’ll admit, when first reading through, I despaired a bit with what seemed like a rehash taking up a third of the chapter. But in retrospect, the assassination of Gul Divoc was a nice foreshadowing and comparison to the Collector ground battle. The scrappy but effective Resistance fighter compared to the fully armed and operational battle augment showed how much Gothic has improved. The Cardasian Occupation really was the tutorial levels, it seems. All the buildup in technology and tactics from the last 34 chapters really paid off. Both the space battle and the ground battle really prove the old adage that “if you find yourself in a fair fight, it’s because you didn’t plan well enough ahead of time.” Use every advantage, fight to win quickly and decisively. I do wonder if finishing off the last few dozen fighters with that plasma wave was worth it, or if that would have been better off hiding in reserve. Although, it was a very effective test of a new weapon. Can’t wait to see what else was held in reserve. Oh, and while Rom’s self-replicating mine field was clever, the self-constructing spy satellites is genius. As is using the transporter buffer as a bag of holding. Love it! I concur with Red Demon in wanting to see the after action “lessons learned” meeting and what improvements could be discussed. Also, will B’Elanna go down to the planet, look up some old childhood friends/enemies? Maybe Ms. Turtlehead to the rescue changed some minds? Or will she come to realize that kids can be little monsters to everyone, so she should let it go? Again, great chapter, can’t wait to see what’s next. Keep up the good work, Mr. Lawyer.

Overall I loved this chapter wasn't super into the flashback but it wasn't bad onto the battle with the Collectors I wasn't really a fan of the fight scene since it was all done from far away it didn't feel all that heroic to me but I did love the ending with the kid and would love to see the POV of the Cairo and the Federation to what Gothic has done here I could totally see the people on that planet making a Statue of him hell I could totally see this being on the News in Federation space *Admiral Gothic Of the Bajoran Defence Force saves Federation Colony* would be a good headline

You do seem to be settling up or at least being prepared for taking voyagers place. That planned trip to earth to pick up anything you could need. It should be coming up pretty soon, the first episode of voyager had a stop at ds9 and later they hadn’t heard of the dominion. Plus he might be in political hot water really soon.

War sage

Great update. It was nice to see more of Gothic time with the resistance, especially as we see more development for Gothic and Kira relationship. I don't why but during the warp test I grin a bit at the turbulence at the transition from warp 5 to 6 as it reminded me of Enterprise when they were trying to increase their speed. The Flighty Temptress may actually be just short of having the perfect cloak till the phase shift us worked out Though I do wonder once word about Gothic Cloak get out, who we should be more worried about the Romulans, Klingons or Pressman? Damn, nice to see the Flighty Temptress in action. I like the idea of Gothic setting up his own satellite network across the Alpha Quadrant to gather information, have you considered having Gothic trying to locate the satellite network the Hirogen are using as the far edge of the network is near the outer reachs of the Alpha Quadrant as if Gothic can access the network he can get some idea of the state of the Delta Quadrant and if the Hur'q are operating in the Delta Quadrant too...actually I have to wonder if the Hur'q are operating all over the galaxy and if the Dominion have encountered them. While the colony does have sensors and likely detected the Flighty Temptress fighting the Hur'q ships considering it was a civilian colony I have to wonder if their sensors would be able to pick up much details or considering possible damage picked up much at all, except the bar minimal, regardless Starfleet eat your heart out. I have to say I'm curious as to Jellico reaction once the Cairo arrives as while he is a Starfleet officer, he is shown to be one of its more military minded members , as much as one can be in Starfleet, which is likely a result of his time during the Cardassian border wars. Can't wait for next month chapter.

Two more great chapters, I liked this first battle of the new ship better than the original stories, around earth. Pressman… fool has no idea Gothic keep him out of prison by blowing up his old ship. Looking forward to the next update. I reread the story, had a few more questions/ideas. Did Gothic purge DS9 of the code he discovered on the cardassian tricorder that relays all data back to the Obsidian Order? Has Scotty been rescued yet? “Relics” was season 6, He can rescue Scotty, that would be huge PR boon for him. Echo Papa 607 This weapon system analyzed each enemy encounter I saw he added the drone aspect to the ship could he incorporate that analysis system in the Temptress as well so all systems could be modified? Any chance Picard saw himself learning of his brother and nephews death in “Generations”. Any chance Gothic warns Picard, having him in Gothics debt could only be a good thing. Chapter 35 Page 3 second paragraph “Ah, now that’s Better,” said General Gothic - Admiral Chapter 35 Page 7 second to last paragraph Conspiracy to commit attempted murder - Would it not just be conspiracy to commit murder? Chapter 35 Page 23 “Just for shits and giggles, how they do view my…” - How do they

Also, I kind of hope the medical treatment being offered delays Gothic's departure. Seeing him interact with Jellico would be cool.

The only thing I hate about this story is the wait for the next update! I love reading this I often reread it every few months just so I don't forget any of it

Durdens Wrath

I had one major question from this chapter as I was re reading it. Why did Gothic need to convince Kira about Gul Dukat? She was there and had experienced the intervention from the Prophets. So this seems to be somewhat inconsistent from earlier chapters
