As someone who isn't familiar with your wider body of work, there are gaps that I need to fill for myself but I think this is a well-written look at a dimension of the Trek universe that I certainly found interesting. I've already started browsing into your other work.
But that comes for the price of drawing their past from my earlier stories into the stand alone tale. I always try to explain things, but at the same time not be redundant for those who know the other stories, so as I wrote Rush, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In this story it clearly didn't.
