This is a very different retelling of the attack on Research Center. This was written back in 2002. At the time, I hadn't seen the episodes and only had vague knowledge of what had happened. I decided to stick with my version and rewrote to fit it into the Ssacrifice arc. Since I can't stand Zark and they didn't include Zark in the BotP comic (except for a cameo in the Mark comic), there is no Zark in this story. Come on- you all know you're relieved! I want to thank Catherine Rees Lay for beta reading.
