Well, I'm back after a few weeks in Korea, and I'm certainly looking forward
to the current semester. 

First off, my thanks to all who sent me complements/comments about the story.
If you like to express your support/comments or whatever about the story,
please don't hesitate to email me!  I'd like to make everyone happy (although
that's not possible all the time).  Among the comments I've received:
 
"Priss seemed dumb."

"Wesley Crusher seemed immature."

"Why didn't Wes die?  Priss is getting soft..."

"Priss need to KICK MORE BUTTS!!!" 

SPECIAL NOTE TO MIKEEY LIN, RICHARD PIERI (Rat), AND E. CONTY:  There are a 
few things I need to ask you guys, and I'd thought that I'd save some
time by asking here.  For Mikeey and Richard, see the BGT story plan
"Armageddon" at the bottom of this post and tell me if you guys have a problem
with it or not.  For Enrique, see the very bottom of the post and let me
know sometime. 

For those that may be interested, here is what happens after BGT...

     After lengthy discussions with Starfleet chief of operations, Sylia
Stingray gets a mutual agreement to be a Starfleet Captain and in command
of her own Federation vessel.  Since she obviously had a very strong
family background in the 24th century, Admiral Enrique Conty seemed 
"somewhat" convinced that she can handle it, and recommendations were
sent in from Commodore Jeff McNickol and Captain Picard.  She successfully
managed to take a lot of "speed courses" at the academy and after final
evaluations from Conty and his fellow admirals, she got the position and
was given the rank of Commander. 
     Soon afterwards, Sylia and some top-notch Federation engineers design
a new combat/special forces vessel, the USS Stingray, named after Stingray
the Fourth (who got killed in BGT).  It took about four months to design
and construct the vessel, which is capable to holding a crew of 70 crewmembers,
mostly security officers and engineers.     
     The ship will also serve as the new "secret" headquarters for the Knight
Sabers.  There is a high security docking bay that can only be accessed by
the Sabers themselves.             
     As for the Knight Sabers, they go hard at work themselves.  Although
Sylia really didn't want a second-in-command, it was considered standard
protocol, so she chose Nene.  Her expertise in Starfleet computer systems
was the reason why she was the first choice.  Nene also works on a promotion
as well and she gets Lt. Commander.
     Priss gets to become the tactical officer.  She manages to be a lot
more proficient in handling the tactical spot (although she might need
some help at times).  She also gets a promo to full Lieutenant.
     Linna has had no prior experience as an officer, and would rather
start at the bottom, so she becomes one of Priss's assistants at security,
and gets Ensign Junior Grade.
     The Knight Saber hardsuits get another refinement.  The suits are now
linked via subspace to the ships computer, so while any of them are suited
up, they can also do Starfleet command functions (e.g. Officer logs, 
subspace communications, sounding red alert)
     As part of the ship's charter, the officers are sworn to TOTAL secrecy
in regard to the true identities of the Knight Sabers.  They are not to
tell anyone, even Federation representatives and other Starfleet officers
serving on other ships.

I intend to write two BGT stories this semester, and here they are:

ENCOUNTER AT ORANGE ROAD:  Q sends the ship into an orange-colored rift
in unchartered space and discovers a class-M planet that is VERY similar
to Earth, but only with a population of 100,000.  Sylia soons discovers
that the planet is ruled by a teenage Japanese girl named Madoka Ayukawa.
The planet's safety goes into jeopardy when Madoka is kidnapped by Romulan
commander Sela and a Rom-disguised Largo and they turn her into a boomer.

ARMAGEDDON:  The Bajoran-Cardassian conflict heats up when the Cardassians
form an alliance with Largo, the Zendradi (from Macross), and a renegade
Starfleet officer named B-Ko.  They intend to crush the Bajoran empire and
the Federation by attacking the new Federation space station, Deep Space
Nine.  The USS Stingray is dispatched to the station to end the current
conflict, but Sylia ends up getting into problems of her own, namely with
Deep Space Nine's commanding officer, Commander Ben Sisko.  Guest
stars:  Starfleet Cadet A-ko and her friend C-ko, Admiral Richard "the
Rat" Pieri (works to end the Bajoran-Cardassian cofict), Ensign Mikeey
Lin and his GOOD FRIEND Lt. JG Reginald Barclay (more transfers from the
Enterprise; they get into a fight regarding who would be a better date for
Priss :-)  ).

TO CONTY:  Sorry that I didn't kill you off.  Got any ideas?  (Yes,
Conty actually WANTED me to kill him off, for those that may not know). 

That's all for now.  Any comments, suggestions, etc. would certainly 
be appreciated.
