I'm in agreement with Grimm on this. We are all out trying to do something important for the island. We are in danger and are risking our lives to save others. This is the team mission story that you want. No, some guy might not have come in and slapped a wad of cash down on the table for us to go kick someone's ass, but it's still a story where we are cooperating and interacting.

Also, I'd like to point out that there has been some real good character development so far. Danny is doing a good job of showing how his character is falling into the leader role. Captain is fleshing out Phil and has even helped me a bit in developing Dirk's character too. Euro is still working out how his character is relating to this new team. Grimm and Blackwulf are handling the big guy's entrance into the team and his "role" with them as a weight trainer.

It's been a good issue so far. This IS what you want, just not exactly how you want it. I think works out better than them being hired to do something. This is real hero work. There is no monetary gain. They're doing it because it's the right thing to do. The fact that they sacrifice their own safety can make for some interesting writing either from the point of view of onlookers or other team memebers or even what the character himself thinks about it.

BTW, Captain, good job in writing Dirk. Loved the post. It took a good look at both characters. You get a [woooOOOOoooo!] !
