Akin to your last science fiction story, you have established quite a cast of characters. Be sure to flesh them out and have them featured s few at a time and don't forget the setting.

When I wrote my review today on a further chapter, I had not seen this one yet. Here you tell who everybody is. Nice chapter. Pity she lost her baby.

Smart to introduce characters early. You do so in an interesting and entertaining way. Written well and moves along eell so we are not bogged down. The story is still advancing. Well done. NG

    Yep. Trying to get them all introduced without putting everyone to sleep. I think it will save some awkward moments in the long run. Glad it is moving along well enough still. mikey

This is starting to have a sort of "Hunger Games" feel to it. (Wouldn't it be great if it were that successful?) I think you're setting up the characters nicely. I'm intrigued to see what happens next.

You did a great job with this one. I like how you introduced the characters and know you will provide them with more depth as the story goes on. Being pregnant in a horrific situation like this it terrifying and not knowing what has, or will, happen, the loss of the baby may in fact be a relief. I know that may sound cruel but bringing a child into a world that may have unknown dangers is not the happiest of circumstances.

I really like the way the narrator tells most of the story rather than dialogue. It's a bit different than the norm, which I find to be a good thing. Excellent description of the folks in the group, which seems to based on considerate and unbiased observation over many years.
