Talk:Safeguard

Author's Notes
I'm not entirely pleased with how this all came out. Obviously, the idea is sound and the plot, such as it is, is nicely revealing of a few choice tidbits of exactly who the Progenitors are, how they got here, and, to a lesser extent, what their organization is.

It also shows us how powerful a *single* ascended Progenitor can be, able to wipe out all sentient life on an entire planet... at least if that life happens to be telepathic.

Z'hira may make a come-back in future stories, I rather like how her character turned out.

What I don't like is how the story turned out -- at least towards the end, it feels more sanctimonious and heavy-handed than I desired. But one thing people have never accused me of is having tact... so I suppose it's only natural. Still, I'd like to rewrite this sometime in the future, if I can. It's just one of those good stories, but with poor execution, by my standards.

In short, it could stand to be better. Hope you enjoyed it anyway!
