This is creepy! But also very well written. I like how you weave other conversations such as the "new body" one from Res Ship I in here. Very thoughtful and provocative.

Thanks! As soon as the "new body" line and Leoben came together in the same thought in my brain, I knew I had to write it, and the rest of the drabble built itself around that. Leoben is quite creepy at times, but he almost always had interesting things to say, and he's an intriguing character to try to write.

Ooooh! I like this. Very interesting take on the Bill or Laura as Cylon thing. I'd love to see you continue with this...

I'm glad you like it! I had not intended to continue with this, but I will keep it mind in case the muse comes up with something.

This is wonderfully creepy and works really well. I really like your twists on the Resurrection Ship I conversation--it's so fresh here.

You really captured Leoben, too, and I can picture him showing her these things (and her seeing them).

Nicely done!

You have captured the chilling nature of Leoben beautifully here; his disturbing, insidious ability to unsettle by mixing hope, fear and reality, truth and lies.

Delightfully intriguing! Thank you.
