What Sofa said. I finally got a chance to sit down and read this, and I agree on all points. There's a distinctly neat vibe here, with the characters thrust into a tense situation. Aside from the story itself, I also liked a lot of the details...the whole bit with regards to Simon using his powers to be a scary-heck sniper...that's just a flat out clever development.
Oddly enough, the bit about Simon insisting that Naoko needs more socks, powder, and another water bottle in her field kit - that amused me the most. That just rings as right to me, since, yeah, I agree,when stuffing a field pack, that's what you can't ever get enough of. Heh.
