:) It is coming along, but slowly. But in a way I'm glad it's going slowly, as this thing is less about any particular plot than about how they get from point a to point b, and I have been thinking of stuff that needs to be done to it as I read and reread it.

I may end up wanting to punt this over to you for a *real* beta - I'm not entirely happy with the important conversation between Sam and Daniel, and I have been scowling long enough at it that maybe I'd like an opinion...
