I accidentally found and read this story before reading Aftermath, but despite being a little confused, the plot and writing was gripping enough for me to read it all before looking for more (at least things made much more sense on my second read-through!) I'm really glad to see you updating with another quality chapter!
(By the way, I hope you don't mind a little quibbling - you have Karai referring to herself with a masculine pronoun; 'boku' is usually what polite boys refer to themselves by : -tte is also a generally polite form, from her mood I got the feeling that she would be using much rougher language! Don't mind me though, I could geek about Japanese forever)
I'm looking forward to more - I get this strange feeling that Mikey's going to be in big, big trouble, and not just when Raph catches up to him!

Yay! Cyn's back! *hugs her* I missed you, chica. So glad to see that you've given us an update. And what an update it is! Great as usual. Mikey's gonna be in so much trouble for using Raph's bike. I think he may not be able to sit for a week once Raph's done with him. Well, what else can I say? Update soon. You are truly an awesome writer. I really mean that too.
The Bubbly One,
Shell.
P.S. Classes are going well and the semester's almost over. I will be taking two summer classes here at school, so I will be able to go on this site and review more often than I normally would. I also found out that I will graduate in the spring of 2008 if all goes well. I just have to pass my Statistics class this summer and I will be done with math for good. *crosses fingers* Well, that's all I got to say on that. Talk to you later.

I already reviewed on SS, but I'll say it here, too~
The way you have Karai and Hun wooven into this story tells me the titans are gonna clash very, very soon, so lets hope Mike arrives at the building before Hun does, and Leo would get him out before the rats take a bite at him... even if Mike got out of it alive, makes me wonder if Raph would let him live once he's back home...

I was so happy to see you updated! I've been waiting for an e-mail to tell me of the next chapter. This story is too awesome to not be continued.
I really love your writing style, I missed reading your stuff.
looking forward to more!

LOL I cracked up laughing when I read what the argument was about! Glad to see this updated, this is one of those stories that I really look forward to each chapter of. Next one should be interesting - Leo may have promised to bring the bike back in one piece, but by the sound of it, Mike may be a different matter! (Nah, Leo would never do that... I think...!)

I've read this and the other aftermath stories all recently. It was really interesting, seeing how your writing improved from the begin to now. It's a big change, you're discription and wording is much better than before, not that it was ever bad.
I'm very interested in this storyline, I think you've got the characters down, they all seem on-character, and it's so well organized and planned for such a long plot. I'm looking forward to future updates!

Another awesome chapter by the talented writer we call Cynlee. Great job, girl! I can't wait to see what else you have in store for this story. I loved the last bit at the end. Mikey just can't quit, can he? Update soon. You are doing an awesome job on this.
Also, I'm back at school again. So far the semester's gone good. I start work today, and I'm excited. Keep up the good work.

I always figured Karai and Chaplin would get off easy when the Utroms sent them into custody. I mean really what could they be charged with? Any charge they could come up with, the Utroms would have to reveal their true nature. Of course they could do that now that they have revealed themselves. But again, doing so would mean they would have to talk about Ch'rell. The evil Utrom. Probably not something they would need at this juncture.
I have to say, I'm really liking the further expansion you are providing concerning Agent Grant's motivations. At first I thought she did in fact admire Agent Bishop, perhaps even have romantic feelings for him (which is still a possibility) but I liked that flashback scene. It also provides a more logical/practical reason why she is looking for Baker.
Oh and nice touches with the Baxter/Karai/Hun thing you have their. That guy needs to DIE alreay!

*doesnt believe you updated* Um, happy first anneversiry? The story's a year old now, huh? Wow!
The first part with Karai and Hun with Grant, that was an awful 'quiet' conversation. Hun's mellowness and Karai's supressed peeve'ness, along with Grant's obliviouse reaction kinda had me grinning. Did Grant do that annoyingly calm character natrually, or does she practice? XD
I kinda doubt she'd 'leave them alone' even after she gets Baker, I mean she can keep her thump on them, figureativly speaking, and press on those two huge, wide spread and powerful organizations to 'help' her, like it or not as long as she had something against them... besides, Baxter would probably like to see them squirming and seething in anger for a change, huh?
As for the second part with Mike, I dont know what he's up to, but something tells me the little bad boy is gonna get himself in a shell lot of trouble...

Well, I'll be honest and say that, I'm clueless as to what this story is about. I haven't indulged in 'Ghosts'. Not sure who Victor is, either, based on your story summary. However, I was drawn into this particular chapter by way of your chapter title. Such an interesting word, 'concilliabule'. I tried looking it up using two of my on-line dictionaries and neither had a definition for it - or any knowledge that it was a word. So, I google searched it and - wow - the stuff associated with concilliabule is - hair-raising at the very least. Won't go into that, though, as it could create a firestorm of unsavory comments.
Anyway, after discovering your update title's true definition, I decided to read this chapter.
Again, I'm clueless to its premise, but it is still riveting reading, nonetheless. You have the diaglogue down so well, very believable. It seems like powerful, heavy reading, too, and not the light, humorous entertainment of your chibi tales (which I love, btw, so I'm not flaming them at all). Ghosts is just an extreme stray from your usual ventures, is all. I like.
However, I assume that in order to understand what is going on with this particular chapter and story, it would be prudent to read the story that spawned it. With that said, if and when you reply to my review, could you gently nudge me to which story that would be?
As for the tag on this chapter.,.LOL.,.love Don's last line and, of course, Mikey's water balloons. Obviously, it's only funny when it happens to someone else and - whoot - love this line.,.
The two stood there, sputtering and involuntarily shivering as the icy liquid wriggled into those sensitive and hard to reach places, the echoing boisterous evil laughter of Michelangelo fading away as the turtle vanished like a good ninja.
Anyway, this sounds like a great story, Cyn...and after 35 chapters, I'm sure you're feeling the strain of finishing it. Hang in there, though; anything worth having is worth sweating (blood and tears) over. :0)
Trilogies work great, too.
Be blessed,
Rene'

Yo~ not logged in so I can leave this review~
I've just gone over the whole story, and just now I noticed that ever since Leo went 'naughty' and Raph was more behaved, a friction settled between them and a gap sort of made them drift slowly apart.
Although I'm not too keen on what's up with Raph, since the story had been more focused on Mike (with victor) and Leo (his obsession with being out in the open, and maybe facing Karai again?) something tells me he wont be setting with Donny, stuffing his face with popcorn...
And why do I feel the Hun/Karai thought is gonna make itself stand out a little more in the new chapters? For someone who'd been occupied with her new business, Karai seems very distracted and doesn't really have the time to 'avange' her fathers dismay... unless she'll enlist Hun's help in this? If so, I don't like where it's going one bit...
The ending looks so far away, to get Baker to safety and realize the truth regarding Baker, to have Baxter and that Dr. lady revive Bishop, something doesn't quite add up. Bishop is dead, I doubt she'd be able to revive him, yet something about Bishop and Baker feels amiss...

Yabadabado! Finally a new Cynlee.
I really thought Leonardo would go topside with Baker, but I´m glad he didn´t made Splinter even more pissed off. Good, that he´s allowed to walk in the tunnels without a babysitter again.
I wonder who Adele is. Should I read all of the previous chapters again?
Please update soon.

Yay! Update!
I'm really liking the directions you are taking Hun and Karai in. Hun especially it is interesting how you are explaining how he is building his criminal empire instead of it just being there (like they do in Season 4). Karai I'm surprised is less comfortable with dealing with the rich and powerful than Hun is. She was groomed by Saki to be his heir so it must be her thirst for vengeance. She is uneasy because she wants to destroy the turtles.
I wonder...that memorial service was for Victor only or also for Zog? To me this memorial service seemed like it focused solely for Zog. But since Victor is one of the main focuses of this fic perhaps it's just my perception.
Heheh...and even though this is one of your more "serious" fics I like how you still add bits and pieces of humor to each chapter. Oy! Mikey is still Mikey. Don is still Don. Leo is still Raph. And Raph well if Leo is acting like Raph than that what does that leave Raph? XD
Great chapter!
