An interesting species that was. I can't help but wonder though why Malcolm wasn't more heavily affected by the liquid beings. Either way, nicely written!

That was great! Very exciting, fast paced, and it should've been an episode, thank you.

A finely written story! I thank you for the great read. I hope there will be more, future stories by you. This has been one of my favorite Enterprise stories.

Another great chapter! I know I haven't mentioned this yet, but your alien life forms are very creative right down to their make up. Of course, I'm heading to the epilogue now. I've really enjoyed your story. :)

Another great chapter! Your technical dialogue comes off very well sounding very much like the series. The idea of both Trip and Reed being able to super absorb oxygen because of their contact on the alien planet is a brilliant idea. Once again, your story proves to be very well thought out and your handling of the characterization of all members of the cast is on spot!

Goodness gracious, you sure know how to write cliffhangers. Lucky for me, I don't have to wait for the next chapter. It is only the click of a mouse away.

You express the crews and especially Archer's frustration wonderfully especially with the malfunctioning of the EV suits.

Wow! This is getting more and more interesting! It seems as if some alien life form has some how invaded Trip's body, but was unable to do the same with Reed. And now everything is going wrong with the ship. It also seems as if these aliens within Trip are some how changing him so he can cope with unusual conditions. Once again, wonderful and original story telling. I wish the majority of the Enterprise episodes were so well written and thought out.

I'm off to chapter 8, but I wanted to mention that I really like how you've written the relationship between Trip and Archer. The captain's concern comes off as compassionate and very realistic, but not over the top as some stories portray the two. Yes, Trip is Jon's best friend, but the captain still places the safety of his crew above it, which IMHO is how it should be.

I apologize for the long delay in getting back to your story. It was not because of lack of interest. It still continues to be a wonderfully written story and you've left this chapter off with a high note. Of course I'm heading onto chapter 7 right away. :)

Wow again! Another awesome chapter! I'm intrigued, fascinated, and concerned. Wonderful writing once more. Somehow the confusion between the fluorescent liquid and the rocks has piqued my curiosity especially with your final mention of the puddle silently oozing across the floor.

Wow, what a chapter! Excellent writing and attention to detail!

Another exciting chapter and well written chapter! I really enjoy how you portray the characters and situations they find themselves in realistically (well as much as Star Trek can be considered realistic). You write each character as competent also, not building up one at the expense of others. Malcolm's uneasiness at the situation they're now facing is quite understandable. I look forward to reading more, though unfortunately I'm out of time today...well at least for this morning. :)

Another good and very well written chapter! Loved the hair on the back of Trip's neck standing up. Should have been omen enough for him to think twice about this mission. Your attention to detail was great, and I like how you included most of the cast. Your characterization of Reed and Tucker is spot on as usual. Loved your opening scene and their quibbling over Tucker's score almost perfect score. :)

Excellent first chapter! Your description both of Trip's confusion and fright and also of this substance they are trapped in was great. I noted this story quite awhile ago, but with a busy December, I didn't get a chance to read it. I look forward to doing so now. Btw, a very original beginning and plotline seems to be developing.

Interesting story and well written. Would have liked a longer final chapter but all in all pretty good.

Well, good story, but it seemed to end a little quickly for my liking. However, 'twas well written, and liked the Trip/Malcolm friendship as well ;)
