Hi, Jay - wow, what a great critique! Thank you so much for the in-depth comments and the critical thoughts. You've given me a lot to think about. This is my first time attempting sci-fi, and I was having trouble with the word count (poor excuses, lol) - but in any case, I can see I have some reworking to do.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the welcome! Hope you're having a good time of it.

Jay,
Thanks for reading MSI. I was going for more of the Doc Savage type pulp hero. Just like uber-perfect but in a weird way. Anyway, your comments were very helpful and much appreciated.
