I really get a slight feeling of frustration with touches of resignation here. Great continution!

Frustrated resignation. Yup, that’s pretty much what I was going for. :)

This is actually a complete rewrite. I absolutely hated the sequel I was writing earlier today. This idea formulated on my drive home this evening, and I spent the entire hour working it out in my head. :)

I’m feeling like a frustrated starship captain. I love it.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
