Why this must be read:

This started out as an attempt to write a 7k vignette about each of the major characters. It didn't get that far but this is Avon, Blake, Vila, Cally and Dayna. I like their concentrated character-dissection and the sheer quality of the writing. Like this, which works because we know where the ship is headed and what Vila is really going to do…


Vila eyed the course coordinates uneasily. Only a few hours until they reached this place, which didn't even have a name as far as he could tell. Maybe Tarrant would get himself killed negotiating down there.
Briefly cheered by the thought, Vila decided to give up on the rest of the crew and create something new. Fur was usually a good start. Moonlight and a beach and a fur rug. And a young, warm someone. Maybe several someones. Umm.
After a few minutes he opened his eyes.
Bored.
What he needed was something new. Something he could really cherish. Something he could care about. Something he wanted.

If a chance came, he was going to take it. Even if it was, yes, a little bit dangerous. Maybe even if it were more than just a little bit.
Vila really was that bored.
