I'm the least familiar with this version of Cham, actually. The classic version has more 'recently' (recently meaning 'post silver age' in this instance, since he's been leader of the Espionage Squad) been portrayed as pretty professional and hyper-competent. The threeboot version started out as curmudgeonly, and, when Shooter took over, became a bit of an oddball (flirting with birds, bragging about how he's always naked, etc.).

100% agreement on how wonder and optimism should be a staple of any Legion story!

this story just fits right in with the PZ hour legion and i could see this being one of the last adventures before the Blight came!

Thanks, Omni! Like I said, this story's over ten years old, but I remember putting a lot of passion and effort into it! To me, it's a little on the predictable side, but I'm also proud that it didn't have an easy ending all wrapped up in a bow, either.

I recall making a few notes and putting some thought into a sequel. I wish I still had them or could recall precisely what I had planned.

Like I said, fanfic based on existing, corporate-owned characters (either reading or writing them) holds little-to-no appeal for me anymore, but I might just make an exception and do that sequel to this one someday, after all.

Wow! As a Postboot Legion fan, I can tell you that you did Chameleon justice. Very nice, and I really hope I get to read your sequel - I'd really like to know what happens next!

Re predictability, it doesn't matter to me. You put a lot of thought and soul into the story, and it shows.

This is great - I'm not sure if Cham would intentionally be that friendly immediately or just using the poor lad, but either way it worked. Not that Cham has ever been shown as that duplicitous but he was in a really dangerous place and people (Durlans?) will do anything.

Harbi, you're right that it probably could have developed more slowly between Jal and Cham. That occurred to me as I recently reread this story. I did cut a corner there for the sake of moving the story along.

In my mind, though, Jal and Cham had a quick connection. The Cham I wrote wouldn't use Jal like that. I did show later on that Cham felt concern for what Jal was agreeing to do and that he gave him a chance to back out with no hard feeling should he have chosen to do so.

I really appreciate the thoughts, Harbi, and raising that kind of question is just the kind of honest input that shows a writer that his audience is reading closely!

Rereading it recently, IB, I noticed that there was more depth to it than I had remembered. I would have thought that something I wrote so long ago might be unreadable from my own point of view (a writer being his own worst critic), but there were several touches and aspects I put in that still worked for me pretty well.

As a reboot fan, you do me a special honor with your compliments!
