Author's Comments
Most of this story was focused on re-establishing the status quo...or setting the new status quo really. Kasyov and Rosalyn both have had their circumstances change, but they aren't the only ones adjusting, as evidenced by Bain's discomfort with having to think about Tovar's relationship with Marsden. It's a lot of character material that needed to be dealt with after the near-constant running around of the first three stories.
I think the juoni ball scene is the first time I've ever tried to invent a sport. It's been mentioned in passing at least once before, but I decided that I wanted to show it, which meant that I had to come up with the rules. I attempted to come up with something that seemed distinctly Romulan while still seeming like a playable sport. JK Rowling still owns the invented sport territory with Quidditch, I suppose, but juoni ball sounds far less painful.
