Great story. I’m a huge Bridger/Lucas fan. Still, it’s nice to see shy, reserved Tim as a hero! The drug-fog scene with Tim in the hospital was clever and funny. I hope that there might be a few more seaQuest hurt/comfort stories (or snippets) tucked in that marvelous brain of yours. Thanks

Great story, nicely written, well done!

Here’s a note, as requested. Good hurt/comfort story.

Excuse my language, but Overbeck is a right bastard.

Still interested. Just wishing I remembered the episodes this story is based on better.

Was anyone else bothered that in first season telepathy was rare and not really believed in, but in second season it was recognized and codified?

I absolutely loved your story, Tim has always been a favorite character of mine even though the show ended so long ago. I am looking forward to reading the sequel. Hopefully i won't loose to much sleep reading this one lol. Thanks again for a great story

I know that this is a super old story, but I just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed reading it. Tim was such an underused character on SeaQuest. Each crew member had such a unique story to tell. I'm glad we have Fanfiction so their life's stories can still be told.
I enjoyed this one.
Thanks so much for sharing it. :)

Satisfying end to a great adventure that feels totally true to season 2. Thanks C F Vici for finally getting Tim way out of his comfort zone and into no end of trouble. We always knew there was a hero hiding in there behind those glasses and you've done a great job exploring his character whilst spinning a gripping tale... I was hooked.

Loved the story. Going through the rest of yours next! :)

I had to laugh at Wendy's initial reaction at the beginning, first scolding herself for not recognizing the island and then being all impatient with her console taking time to boot. (re: the latter—some things will probly never change, no matter how advanced we get! LOL)

LOL at Maggie calling Daniels and translating since her PAL seems staticky. (Um yea I can imagine the guy's response to her question was something along the line of "hell yes!" lmao)

[Language is not an issue, believe me.] – understatement of the century, heh.

Looks like Miguel is almost having too much fun talking shop with Daniels. And that they found the boys. Yay! Now just gotta go get them. However, things are looking down again with the bad guys tricking the Key West crew and at least one getting away. Crap. But since Maggie's people are already on the way, let's hope that they find our three before the bad guys do! Fingers crossed.

And the next chapter should be fun, heh. Can't wait to see Katie again!

Okay, you almost made me cry with that talk between Tim and Lucas. Especially with Tim thinking he didn't do anything important (sorry, Tim, I side with Lucas...you did!). Lucas' bit of vehemence there near the end was totally a Lucas moment too and lightened it up in just the right way. (But, seriously, way to sucker punch at the feels.)

I really like the bridge scene, and it's cool to see Jonathan in charge. I like how you show that hint of weirdness he feels over hearing the other officer who's working Tim's station be the one to page Wendy. It is a nice way of showing how our crew is bonded so that something out of the ordinary like that makes everything feel not-quite-right.

It was amusing that they were all so focused on the obvious (nearby surface ships, who to trust, etc) that they didn't even think about who was nearby underwater. Good thing Wendy knows someone close by who is likely to just do what she'll ask of them (and as Jonathan said, can get out of bed at a ridiculous hour to boot! Heh)

Um wow, I thought I had finished reading/reviewing this one? How did I miss that I hadn't? And I almost went to Hard Time without realizing it to boot. Bad Che, lol.

Ch 30 – Nice for Father Baker to be subtle and pretend he is talking to one of his flock in order to communicate a secret message to Wendy. I like this guy more and more with every chapter.

["Man, what d'ya gotta do these days to make a clean getaway?"] – LOLOL, classic Piccolo.

Like the tension on the bridge and how Wendy is respectful of the bridge crew, keepin outta the way and not interfering with anything, but also helping out when asked with Jonathan's talk with the Key West's captain.

SPAG suggestion:
I wouldn't think there needs to be a dash in "suit up". Just MHO :)

Ch 31 – I can picture Tony wrapped up in all that stuff once he adds the hood and gloves, lol. Though I wonder, if Miguel's programmed Loner to pick up the watches, would it really matter if the watch was inside the glove or not? Given just how far their range is, I would think the WSKRs have enough power to read through a little rubber from someone nearby.

Too cute at how Darwin almost runs Tony over, lol. Probly glad to be out and swimming. Also like the bit about how Darwin's obviously playing a game but Tony's not sure what rules, if any, exist. Very like Darwin, lol.

["WSKRS tracked you to 68 miles, but the signal was still pretty good."] – DAMN, that's a pretty good distance for the first test.

And I still adore Lonnie...probly the only fan who does, but I can't help it. She's sweet.

Ch 32 – interesting that Jonathan finds Captain Johnson too eager to help but then it makes sense that he'd be a little suspicious given what is at stake.

Mary not wanting to be seen on the monitor by Wendy makes me curious, camera-shy or not. Is she hiding something (other than she seems to be crushing on Tim, heh)?

Woohoo, Katie's on the way. I've been waiting to see her show up. And now I wonder what the Clinton looks like/what class it is if they have some sort of jet-copter associated with the ship (especially curious cuz i plan to feature the Clinton in my next project...tho Katie will be XO, not CO.)

:drags self back on track:

Love Father Baker's message. Awesome. A bit surprised that he corrected himself in reference to France, especially since nosy enemies would not be likely to even recognize the ancient name of Gaul, much less know where it refers to.

Poor frozen Tony, lol. I like his worry for Lucas and Wendy's little lecture that he has to grudgingly accept. And I can see the image he'd make that you describe at the end. Too funny.

Hope to continue soon (and not take so long between reviews either)!

I can't even start to explain how much I loved this story. Tim cracking after a few minutes under torture always bothered me. The explanation what you used is just perfect. The psi receiver/transmitter is very cool. I love Darwin's "Lucas suit." I can just picture him in it. Tim under the influence of morphine was highly amusing as well. Great great great job. I'll be checking out the rest of your stuff, but it's 2 am and I've been up since 7. Thanks for messing with my bedtime, it was well worth it. :)

I'm back! Almost getting near the end here, hehe.

Getting more exciting by the chapter. Liking how th guys are tryin to keep themselves goin with a bit of humor, even corny humor. Wendy's friend Mary is interesting an it's a bit amusing how she develops a lil liking for Tim.

Loved the early morning strategy meeting. LOL at Miguel bein slow to wake up...Sounds like me! (I'm SO not a morning person!) And OMG at Overton patronizing Katie...surprised she didn't kill him for that stunt. She probly wanted to, though!

Can't wait to see what happens next.
