Only downside to this is if the Buffy comics take place. If not, katrina is safe where it is.

I actually did look up the binary and the Morse code. So, I got the Jonno joke before even Giles did. Didn't know if there was any significance to those numbers.

AH-HA!

At last, somebody commented on the binary numbers!

And it only took, oh, let me see...two years.

{Sigh.}

Here they are:

Andrew’s passcodes into the lair:

00110001 00110111 00110000 00110001 = 1701

00110101 00110010 00110101 00110111 00110111 = 52577

The first is in tribute to Star Trek - The Original Series with the ship number for the first (and best) Enterprise: NCC-1701.

And the second numbers are a date: May 25, 1977, which was when Star Wars (okay, okay, Episode IV - A New Hope) opened on that Memorial Day.

What else would an utterly obsessed sf geek use for secret codes?

I loved it. One thing, though; Andrew really should have stamped Katrina with the phrase, "Your Problem Now" framed by Pi.

A slow start, but an excellent and touching finish.

aw, i loved this! thank you! *hands you scones*

Well, it was a slow, kinda iffy start, but an excellent ending. I see an epilogue. It's a .gif of Katrina-bot and the First, 200 years later. Katrina-bot is reciting Pi, the First it demanding she stop. and slowly going insane. lol

Bravoo!!.
Cool ending for such a cool series, congratulations =)!!.

I rate this as a 9 for the touching ending. It reminds me of a scene in a movie...I thnk it was called the Professional. In this scene, the dying assassin hands a corrupted law officer a linch pin from a grenade and whispered "For Matilda". The only thing that bothered me about this chapter was Willow's response to Andrew...and everyone else 'lack of response' for that matter. Not one person sought to ask Andrew if this was his doing or Willow asking why she was stopped.

Nice chapter! I like how Andrew is finally coming to terms with what he and the rest of the Trio did; it's touching. And the nuclear batteries....nice BOOM!!!

Oh, nukes are of the good, nukes makes everything better =D!.
Cool chapter, see ya!!!.

awwww andrew! *sniffles*

Nice chapter, an interesting twist on canon, but so far, it's pretty well done. I like the part where Andrew wen toe to toe with the First and just stared it down, that was epic.

I didn't know what to think about this story....I knida still don't; not that it at all bad, it's pretty good, and it's pretty funny in places too. The cliffhanger at the end of this last chapter though, it caught me offguard...but I guess that's what a cliffhanger is for, so excellent work. I look forward to reading the next chapter.

Loving this more with each chapter!!! ;-)

It started out kinda slow, but I'm glad I hung in and kept reading, because this is a perfect example of how Andrew could be redeemed, while staying completely in character.

Great work, and I can hardly wait to see exactly what Andrew has to say to the First, next! ;-)

Fantastic!!!

In the true Scooby tradition, Andrew use his own innate attribute, his geek-ness, to help develop the weapons which will help defeat the First!!

I can actually see Faith offering to 'give him a ride' later, as a reward for his brilliance! ;-)
