    Oh man what a wonderful chapter! QRF, Smart patrolling Close Target Recce. Noice!
    And the whole experimenting with Mac! damn Those Scientist are very objective (Don't give 2 s***'s about ethics! )
    Ah I've got a few left to read! But yeah Very nice!

      Thanks kindly! Some scientists are great, of course, but a few tend to lose their ethics or rationalize that the end always justifies the means.

    So intense episode! I really like the part when Fenn get ready, how carful he chose his equipment and get prepared to save his beloved friend.
    At the experiment part I really feel disgust and worried trully for Mac. I hate these liberal, unnatural, biogenetic sh*t, these are really against the humanity.
    I hope Fenn reach him soon. Huh, well I think this episode was great too, since made my pressure high, you are a great writer Jon! :D

      Thanks Lidi. It was hard to write and I recall listening to the music and having to do all these things. I am very attached to my characters. Glad you enjoyed it though if it made you tense.

    Very suspenseful chapter. I have faith in the rescue though.

    Every time I read stories here or on the Skyrim forum I am reminded of just how damn cool it is to be able to create all these scenes.

      Thanks Patrick! I am keeping my scenes pretty basic compared to some (like Wadelycan or Tanja) but it is cool to see what you can come up with if you get creative with mods and the console commands.

    The tension is building in this story. Very well written. I know Mac's history and yet it is still so jarring to hear him referred to as the "mutant." The doctor wanting to replicate what was done before is a very scary and realistic scenario. I am eagerly looking forward to the next installment.

      Thanks very much for working your way through all the chapters Vronykah (I see you made it to the end). I tried to alter Mac's lore to fit my world but also keep it believable within the game itself. So he is a type of mutant although it has also had its benefits for him (although not in this story of course).

    Amazing chapter and a longer one so I had to read in stages. By the way I learned quite a few new words. Hope I will keep them in mind.
    Like how you used Mac's perspective to build up tension for the medical experiments.
    The scientists were quite confident about their work, so it was shocking to read about their failure and that Mac might die through these experiments.
    Ray of hope that Fenn gets close. He has a difficult task to do. Hopefully he may be undetected as long as possible. But then their is the question what he can do to revert the experiments on Mac.
    The message of your title comes more and more to the surface.
    Well done.

      Thank you for the nice comment Gerd. Sorry about all the translation work but if you are learning some new words maybe its worth it. From an educational view point. Plus if you continue to write some stories in English it may help you :)

      I think the scientists were over-confident (I especially tried to show that Dr. Stratham was somewhat arrogant and cocky). Plus my research on FEV shows just how complicated that virus is to work with and how it mutates. It is rather unpredictable. I also don't think they realized Mac's system would fight back like it did.

    Just wow! Such a fantastic read. Never cease to amaze me with your skills at writing. Just wanna shoot them scientists doing experiments on Mac, (sorry bit evil hehe) Like how Fenn is a bit more of a sneaky type guy with this rescue, but understandable as a lot is at stake for him. Can't wait to dive into the next chapter.

      Thanks Quintent! Fenn was more like silent death - always in stealth with his silenced weapons and shooting almost anything he came across unless it was too large of a group. He believes in the divide and conquer approach.

      Thanks FBC. Good timing as it seems you won't have to wait since I got the big chapter done after working on it for 12 hours today.

    I'm really getting into the tension of the story. You certainly have a way of keeping the pace going and keeping me on the edge of my chair.

      Thanks Cormell! Been a long time since I did a multi-chapter story. I suspect it will be a long time before I do so again as it tends to take over my life. But it was needed :)

      Many thanks James! I would say more but since I just finished the writing for the next chapter, which is the big one, I need to finish the screen shots and post the story before my weekend is over. Hope you enjoy what I have planned!

    Oh dear lord, that got my heart beating fast...this was as bad for Mac and Fenn as I had hoped it would not be! Both the two 'scientists' need to get a dose of their own 'medicine; and some of what the gunners gave Mac too!! Even that would not be enough, imo. I'm sitting here swearing out loud. Jon, I can't tell you how good this is, you've got us all emotional about these events! If you ever had any doubts about what we all really feel about your two characters, (and I really hate to call them that, they are too real) then the responses to this time in their lives should tell you. Wow, I can hardly wait...

      Thanks very much Kes! I hope to provide some answers in the next chapter or at least some resolution one way or the other. I already had it all planned out for a while and just working the last of the writing and images today ... out soon I hope.

      As I mentioned in another comment one reason I wanted to do a real deep story is to help bring these three more to life - which can only be done through my writing and that also means writing heavy stuff and not just light stuff ... even though in general I prefer the lighter stuff and do that most :)

      "...is to help bring these three more to life..."

      And that's why I hate to call them just characters. You do bring them to life, but unfortunately, life isn't all light, especially not in a post-apocalyptic world! I like this very much!
