Why this must be read: Another Post Gauda Prime story from Vila's point of view (first person this time), where the Scorpio Crew have survived but as prisoners of the Federation. This time the action takes place almost immediately after theend of the final series episode, and it's even harsher than 'Cross The Border'. Extreme hurt with no comfort in sight.

Dissecting Justice.

On the same site is the Marian Mendez penned sequel, for those wanting a happier ending: True Justice

I'll agree with all of that except the Atonement Via Suffering, given that my favourite character elsewhere who does that in canon (according to his creator anyway) is the same 'sarky bastard that likes killing' after the suffering that he was before. I don't see Avon being completely unchanged by his experiences but I'm not sure he'd see it as atonement (for anything).

Wouldn't it be possible to atone *and* stay the same sarky bastard - just a repentant sarky bastard? In fact I'd have thought, for him, it might make it easier to, on the principle of "right, I've suffered too so we're quits and I can still tell you you're an idiot".

That's something I hadn't though of. Shall ponder, ta.
