Acknowledgements:

Gene RoddenberryFor being so damn creative and imagining a future for me to play around in.

Rick BermenFor doing his best to fill the shoes of Gene, and failing miserably. Sorry, Rick, but it has to be said, you're killing Star Trek, please quit now.

Joseph VonBachFor the use of the character based on the ideals of the man behind the pen name. Ideals like big guns and killing things. And for the constant pestering to write when other things or odiously a higher priority at the time. And for confusing the first draft with this one more than is humanly acceptable.

Isaac HayesAnother pen name, what can I say? I gotta thank Hayes for his enjoyment of my story, because he created a message board text ORPG based on it called Epsilon Fleet ) and then drafting me to Epsilon Fleet's staff, whither I like it or not.

My ReadersFor actually reading my story.

My ReviewersFor reading my story and caring enough to review it.

Anyone who is still reading these acknowledgements Because acknowledgements are usually boring as hell.
