Winnie, you're absolutely right, Asteroids definitely needed an epilogue like that. I have been thinking the same thing, that there should have been at least a little more damage, but then I've been thinking that already at the beginning of the story, just after that first rescue ;-). Okay, okay, I admit, I'm seriously addicted to good h/c stories, so that might have had something to do with it.... Anyway, it's a wonderful story, and one I'm sure to read more than once.
