AFTERMATH

Abstract

I want to thank MOG for the ATF AU. She came up with it and graciously let others play there. Ryan Kelly, Kirk Gustin, Douglas Stone, and Team Eight are used with the permission of their creator, Heather Flaherty. Brett Jordan from Team Eight is used with the permission of Celeste, as are her men from Team Five. General Matthew Larabee is used with the permission of Q'Mar. Although the author realizes and recognizes that there have been several authors that have used a similar character for Chris's father, the character herein was patterned from Q'Mar's. The Larabee-Wilmington Fist Dialect mentioned herein came from A Gift from an Old Friend by Cassie. Any similarities between this story and Sage's 'Hole in the World' are purely coincidental. This story was started before that one was posted, but Sage has been made aware of the possible similarity of plot. Special thanks to anyone else who created little sayings or nuances that I may have used.
