I've lost a bit of my enthusiasm for this fic since I realized that Lois and Kal were going to the Earth, since the amateur astronomer in me can't stop pointing out that such return trips in space aren't possible. For all of that, I'm still reading, and I found this part really enjoyable. There were several really tense and emotional moments, so I certainly wasn't bored! I loved how Zara and Ching came to say good-bye to Lois and Kal. I found it interesting, and quite believable as well as moving, that Kal found it hard to really forgive Ching. Kal must be one of the nicest guys ever in this quadrant of the galaxy (I so do hope you aren't telling me that New Krypton is in another quadrant of the galaxy!!!!
), but even he wasn't able to quite forgive Ching for his treason. Ah, but he almost forgave him.
Fascinating. It was fascinating, too, that so many NKers were prepared to defend Kal with their lives. But I hope there will be no civil war.
And the "tan koo" thing was lovely again. I loved how Lois thanked Tek and Riz.
Very good chapter, Corinna!
