Ohmygosh. I'm just beaming right now. Joyce, I'm so proud of you. You were such a great writer before, but you've gotten even better, and I'm so, so happy for you. :)

Wonderful chapter, unsurprisingly. Can't wait to read more! Good job! :)

1.) Why is one 'bases' capitalized and the others aren't?

"...and use the information to track down the other (bases)."

"...how are we supposed to find the other (bases)?"

"...befriend those people and travel with them to the (Bases)?"

2.) "Chrissy? Anything else to add?" (Chrissy shook her head.)

Isabel Kabra seems to be the type of woman to demand verbal responses, as opposed to just nodding and shaking their heads.

3.) But how are we supposed to find the bases?" (Chrissy countered.)

Also, by using the word 'countered', it connotes that she is at the same power level as Isabel, if not higher. It's as if Chrissy wants to undermine the Isabel's authority. And Isabel doesn't

Don't quote me on this. This is all Thea's doing. She's the writer, not me. I was reading it because you wanted more reviews, and she saw me reading it, and she was all like, "Move over, I wanna see." And then she kept making these comments in a weird British/ Scottish accent, speaking really fast and rambling on and on. I think that's the influence of Doctor Who and Sherlock. Mindless rambling that actually conveys real messages but the messages are hidden by the unnecessary references to unrelated topics.

pshaw, hate to say this but Lacie's puppydog love for Isabel really annoys me ;) idek why, but still.

haha, anyway, loved this chapter as always, Mummy(: can't believe you /finally/ updated, it's been just a little less than a year :L

drewwww

Haha, I'll let it slide.(; Anyway, the rest of it turned out rather brilliantly! :D I'm so glad that you changed some of the numbers to make it a little more reasonable. It kind of puts my mind at ease. Haha, anyway, I'm so excited for this story. It's going to be so intense!

Ahh, a dystopian fic. Interesting, I believe this is the first one to exist in the 39C fandom.

Well, that's certainly a cliffhanger. :)

Anyway, I love this story so far. It's awesome, original, and as OCs go, I really like Lacie (the wanting to please her dear mum Isabel gave me some Natalie vibes, of course, XD). Hope to see more of this soon! :)

wight! wright! wright! write! i love ur story. i also love the cliff hanger it makes me want to read more.

I absolutely love this chapter Joyce! I can't wait until the next chapter so I can see what happens to Lacie. :)

Wow... That is amazing...

I really like your idea here; I like the idea of Isabel taking over, because if one little thing in the Gauntlet had gone differently, she would've.

Lacie, is an interesting OC too. I await your next chapter. :))

Woohoo! You finally updated!

And I must say, it was definitely worth the wait, This was amazing, just as any piece of literature would be from you.

Where are all the others, though? :O

Oh well, glad you put up a new chapter, excellent one as well. Good job on the betaing, Muse. :)

~Emmy :DD

This is very nice. Perfect grammar, vocabulary, etc.

The 39 Clues fandom needs more adventure, doesn't it? I'm curious as to find out the rest of this story. :D

Update soon, please! (Because it hasn't been for a really long time)

THIS IS GOOD PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CONTINUE THIS STORY!This is awesome and I'm in suspense about what all of that means!:)Anyway, CONTINUE THE STORY!

I AM SO BAD

*slaps self with fish*

Why oh why must I take so long to review? Oh, yeah. Now I remember... Life. Heh. That guy gets in the way /all/ the time.

:(

But in any case, here I am, and I'm finally reviewing! :D [I will save the others for a later date]

So far, this looks really good. I remember hearing about this story eons ago, and I'm glad you've finally gotten it up. :) This is an awesome start to an AU story (good drama, IC characters - the works), so I'm looking forward to seeing how it's going to end up.

But did you HAVE to kill Ian? ;(

xD Just wanted to say it.

BUT YOU PUT CHRISSY IN! :DDDD That /totally/ makes up for it. My question is, though, if the serum gave Isabel immortality, then how did Chrissy become immortal too? Did Isabel actually /share/? o.O

I suppose all shall be revealed later...

Oh, a couple quick tips for CC before I forget.

"and the sparrow crashed into its side." More like /onto/ it's side.

"could use her help especially" I think "could especially use her help" sounds better.

"they silently came back down" They is referring to the door, I believe, which was singular, so it should be "it," not "they."

"You: explain" Eh, this is totally debatable, but I think a dash would be more appropriate. It's more of an interrupter, not so much a lister.

But in any case, I'm looking forward to seeing more. And many apologies for the belated review. :)

Eh . . . I love a good adventure story. There were no grammatical errors, except that you forgot a quotation mark at the end of a paragraph. It was intriuging and interesting to read. 3

Joyce, feel free to tackle me and hit me repeatedly with a bat - I took much too long to review.

And my reason? Well, I lack one. But take a look at my loads of summer work I put off until the day before school starts, and I think you will understand that procrastination and I are too good of friends.

I remember you talking about this idea. Ahem, Joyce, it took you long enough :) Really, I remember this idea from a super long time ago, and I thought it was completely abandoned.

For this chapter - I liked it. Isabel definitely gave off the aura of a supreme leader. I think the chapter was pretty good for a starter, although I hope the chapters start to become longer.

... and yeah. Good job, Joyce!
