I really like this. The characterization through dialogue is very good, the concept is interesting, and it flows well. I'm just not sure it leans into the theme very much outside of a brief comment about the lieutenant disregarded the contingency plan.
This was brilliant. "sagittal plane of reality" is now up there with "ludo narrative dissonance".
Loved the humour, loved the delivery. As people have remarked it was subtle and very well done.
I love it when the theme is delivered a little more subtly. This story feels right at home in the GF universe!
Nice job with the characterization through dialogue alone. I'm impressed that you did it all without dialogue tags, but Chuck and the officer have different enough patterns of speech that it was always clear who was who.
I enjoyed that it read like a screen play, well done.
Very hard to pull off a "talking heads" approach, but you did it very well, nicely done!
Great! I love the characterisation, between the two characters. The fact he had trouble with 'postulated' made him more human and relatable. Usually I would ask for dialogue tags, but you're able to illustrate easy enough who was speaking, so well done with that! Really cool way to tell a story, almost entirely through the dialogue, and you can even see the scene playing out without the use of descriptors.
Very entertaining! Only one or two microscopic errors in spelling and tone, but genuinely a great read!
Very interesting formatting. It was easy to follow and felt very immersive. Well done!
I enjoyed the report style to the story. At the beginning I was worried that it would get boring but I was proven wrong.
I LOVED this one. Great world building! Low on exposition! Great angle! Great dialogue! Lots of wit! This one is a contender. Well done!
