This was one of my favourite episodes of ST Enterprise, but I like your version better - it has the amount of drama I like and, sadly, the show lacks in good Reed-centred drama (the minefield episode was the closest). By any chance, you have more of such rewrites or are you planning some more? :p

Thanks for this story! It may be a tad 'dramatic' as Reed put it, but I found it engaging and uplifting. I don't like my favourite characters getting battered about for no good reason, but if the story adequately justifies it and makes something out of it, I can appreciate it. Here, you've done a lovely job with character balance. T'Pol, Trip, Reed, and Hoshi are especially well rendered. Your ending scene is heartwarming, but no more effusive than anything aired on the show itself and your clever trick with the firing codes was quite creative and not a solution I would have considered. Thank you again.

I just found your story and I absolutely love it! Give me some good story of a hurting but hero Malcolm any day! One of the best stories out there! I hope you'll write another one soon! :)

Ah, a fitting end - why didn't they call you in to write the episode? Yours was much more plausible, and far more exciting!
Thank you for posting this, it's been a thrilling ride!

I see others have said similar things and I agree.
You are very good at creating stakes through a well balanced combination of both direct description and through the reactions of your characters to your events.
I’m very much enjoying this story.

This is very effectively written.
I liked the immersion your description provides and your action is effective and well paced.
Looking forward to getting to the next chapter!

Enjoying this so very very much. Agree with LmL that the characterizations are spot on and the descriptions of his recovery realistic. Now don't let us wait too long for the next bit. Your stories are all so well written. More!

'"Aw hell, Malcolm..." Trip groaned.' Do you know, I don't think this was ever said on the actual show but it felt so entirely plausible, so natural, that it felt as if I was listening to Trip actually say it - I could see the look on his face. That's brilliant characterization on your part. And Jon, agonizing over the commendations and second-guessing his decision to help the Klingons to start with ... equally well brought to life, if not quite as visceral in impact.
Very realistic description of the slow process of recovery from major surgery. Far more accurate than someone waking up as though they've simply been asleep; the brain, as well as the body, has to grope its way back to normal functionality.

Hell's bells, this is not looking good.
Excellent, throat-gripping descriptions of Malcolm's injuries and his comrades' grim determination to save him. Let's hope their efforts pay off!
