/me briefly stops her happy dance of joy to comment on Pam's reponse from part 5:
Fierce!Martha? lol She's all Kathy Brown's fault, tho... I set up the situation, but Kathy's the one who pointed out that Martha would be very protective
Does this mean I need to add another acronyym to my list? Tireless Defender Against Saint ... Martha?? Hee hee.

The show didn't hit this part of things, but it's really powerful stuff and you describe it so nicely.
Great part ... I think you've proven that you are, indeed, unpredictible. <g>
