Awesome story. I wonder what could have happened from there? No worries though, it was a fine UC tale as it was. Char go lucky in the canon story, didn't he?

Well, we have the first one of many of your works that I've read and reviewed. (I forgot that you had 17 stories up here...woow! You're more prolific than I am with my stuff!)

Nice job portraying the Zabi clan; you got them dead on. Good job with Kishiria and writing from her viewpoint in first person. I enjoyed your portrayal of Dozel (and liked his dog) and Giren-you got him right-what a creep for using Garma's death for political ends (as in the original series).

I will be reading over more of your works in the next few days (I had tried reading your longer work a while back and got bogged down in it and never got back to it), but this was a great starting point. Nice job, can't wait to see how your writing has developed in the later stories.

I think that this is probably the best portrayal of the Zabis that I'll ever see. You really meshed their personal and political lives well, showing a more human side to those stiff figures of authority that we're used to. The conflict between Gihren and Kishiria was also very evident, and portrayed in a way that accords well with the series. And Kishiria herself was written very well-poignant, but not too emotional for her character. By the way, I can really picture Dozul owning a dog. _

I think I want to twist a certain purple-haired wannabe dictator's neck, right now.
ShadowCell chapter 1 . 8/31/2002
Wow. This brings Dozle, Kishira, and Degwin into a whole new light. It's clear only Gihren is the truly evil one, willing to exploit his brother's death as a means of escalating the war. The other Zabis are just doing their duty, but they're human, while Gihren is just a Hitler-esque psycho.
Denrius aka Silver Death chapter 1 . 6/6/2002
Once again, you've written an outstanding story for UC Gundam, however, once again, you've portrayed Giren as nothing more than a power hungry dicator.

Starscream chapter 1 . 6/5/2002
Another enjoyable story. I found your portrayal of Girhen to be accurate, in the series he was an utter asshole with a Hitler complex. As for the rest of the Zabis, you portrayed as being human when they're not commanding Zeon forces. I hope you got a few more being churned out.

I really enjoyed reading this one, even though I'm not usually one for checking out UC fan fics. I suppose it was the mention of Garma that got me interested, since I sympathized with his character in the 1/3 of the MSG movies I have seen. I like how you handled his character, particularly in memory as a younger brother and not so much as a military leader. And damn that Giren... I really need to finish watching MSG, now.
