Heck yeah I'm still following this. College is getting in my way though.

I found nothing strange with this chapter. Tim simply regenerated. (Or reborn). This is pretty awesome, becuase now if they die, they respawn like a video game. It makes sexy crushing possible in this story.

My only concern is when they die, do they always start over their next life at the spaceship?

Anyway, I like the descriptions of the researcher. Especially about how her hips were as wide as the cage. That's great, sexy imagery. Reminds me of Julianne in disguise.

I think all the puzzle pieces are falling into place and it seems like we're almost back to the present where you catch up with the other tinies.

I thought you would post this chapter later, but the sooner you post it, the better it is in my book.

Anyway, I think this was a great chapter, and I can't wait for the next one!

Author's Response:

Thanks Tom, I really appreciate your attention to detail!   I do put quite a bit of 'thought' into each line of discription, and to make it appear in gradual stages, without breaking the flow,  can become exhausting,...  Keeping several plots going, at different time lines, and continuing the progression of the overall story makes for quite the challenge!
