“The ones from the first world,” Marell answered. “No one knows what happened to them, or if they’re dead or alive because there hasn’t been any communication with them for over three-hundred-thirty years.”
Didn't AGF check on Earth even ONCE in all these years???? That sounds a little weird and stupid on their part... Marell called earth "the first world". Please tell me he actually knew the name of earth and for some security reason decided to not use it!
I like your basic plot and the world-building that comes afterwards but the story is hampered by way too much technical jargon at once, not enough character introspection/description to smooth the flow of the story, some ooc (out of character) reactions, and the pace overall was way too fast. It's got the potential to be a really good story but you need to slow down, add something besides the techno-babble (ie. Information dump) and clean it up a little, focusing especially on character interaction, thought process and reaction.

read everything up to Chapter 15 so far. I will finish it sometime, but for now I will take a break. It has some word use and word form errors here and there, but over all the story is a good read. My advice is to be careful in the uses of here, hear, know, no, to, too, their, there, and they're. These words trip up many writers. Just keep an eye on their correct usages and that should improve your work. Also I saw a couple of places where you used suite for suit. A suite is either a software package, a grouping of rooms, or a specialized hardware set up. A suit is a set of clothing meant for formal wear, dress, or dress casual wear. Continue writing the story and take time to look over what you've written. Keep a dictionary and thesaurus handy. They help in trying to find the right word to use.

Very, very interesting, great story so far. I really enjoy this fic, it's a lot of fun. Keep up the good work, hope to see more!
Only thing that seems strange is: {You’ll be awaken at 0600 hours for breakfast..., and lights out at 1000 hours,” Morgan told them. “Guards.”} that is only 6:00am to 10:00am, 10:00pm is 2200 hours. You could be using your own thing but they used the 0000-2400 hours Clock in Star Trek from what I remember.

Wow, I just noticed how long this story is. And it's felt like the majority of it was just dealing with section 31 and criticizing the starfleet training. I'm wondering what'll happen in the future.
Comments from author:
The reason I concentrated on Section 31 is something I read in one of the books and the Federation found out about them and let everyone know.
Thanks for the review.
