"Find anything juicy?" Jen blurted.
"Nope." I tried to hide sounding disappointed.
After lunch, U.N. special forces broke through the door. Those guys never just knock.2008-06-23T01:52:04Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/30499Comment on Up to Spec<p>I’ll echo the sentiments of the others in saying it seemed realistic enough of an email, although I have no clue what it’s talking about. And the response to the raid was priceless.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30499?basename=732012008-06-23T01:52:04Zthebetweenspacehttp://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspaceComment on Up to Spec<p>Nice job with the very technical and believable e-mails and description of the UN troops as if this happens every day.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30499?basename=681972008-06-05T14:27:42ZPyroPunk 51 (PPP LoA)http://ficlets.com/authors/pyropunkComment on Up to Spec<p>It’s great…I haven’t read the prequel, so there’s a wonderful mystery to this due to my lack of context.</p>
<p>Thoroughly enjoyed!</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30499?basename=625262008-05-15T17:15:35ZBrowncoatbenhttp://ficlets.com/authors/browncoatbenComment on Up to Spec<p>Very nice. Now I am going to have to rack my brain for a suitable follow up – should have something by tomorrow. Good night, all :-D</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30499?basename=623152008-05-14T20:43:20ZRidcully Calverthttp://ficlets.com/authors/user_joonComment on Up to Spec<p>Thanks guys, authenticity was exactly what I was going for here. John put us into a great position to turn the tables and arm our protagonist with some valuable information. I always enjoy when that sort of thing isn’t delivered on a silver platter but the characters have to work at it.</p>
<p>The email format for the ficlet was something I was also waiting for an opportunity to play with and I’m semi-satisfied with the results.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30499?basename=622962008-05-14T18:24:56ZSteve Fairweatherhttp://ficlets.com/authors/fairweather12Comment on Up to Spec<p>I’d have to echo John on the authentic, gritty feel to it all, not at all dressed up for the sake of drama but left ‘as is’.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30499?basename=622932008-05-14T18:18:06ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477Comment on Up to Spec<p>I think you did an excellent job in accomplishing your goal here. I love the nonchalant demeanor in which Phil somewhat expects the UN raid, like it’s a monthly inspection or something. <br />I’m not quite geeky enough to understand what that email says, but I love the authenticity of it. It feels very natural and real. Very well done.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30499?basename=622842008-05-14T17:58:36ZJohn Perkinshttp://ficlets.com/authors/johnperkins21
