It also let me know, you, the reader appreciated the GREAT amount of time it took to set aside all other things in my life, so that I could entertain you. So thank you for taking two minutes out of your busy life to tell me what you enjoyed about the story.

Music by: Jack Wall, thank you for lending me the Mass Effect Serious Soundtracks. I also listened to various other new age soundtracks; too many to list, but plenty to fill my computer's iTunes. Without you, writing such an epic story would not have been possible.
Special Thanks: Foremost, my mom for making me believe anything is possible. Denise, thanks for supporting me and encouraging me to follow my dreams no matter how bizarre I thought they were. Thank you: Cloverdaze for assisting me to becoming a better writer, this story would not have been possible without your guidance. Spectress1, for supporting me and reassuring me when I thought for sure I was not a very good writer. You two were critical in ensuring this story got finished. StraySpectre and Eli Carter, you two rock. I, as a writer, am left speechless by your absolute devotion and support. Thank you.
And last, but certainly not least, you, the reader, the fans. Had you not read my story, left feedback or kept coming back, I would never have had the motivation and inspiration or creativity to continue. So with bowed head, I personally thank you from the bottom of my heart.
