I love the fact that Bug's scared of clowns. Plus, he's a Trek ficcer! Writing a chapter where Janeway is forced to have sex with a borg (and immediately I jumped to the conclusion of SevenOfNine). I'm thrilled.
Poor Nigel. Having your father push you into the Navy for your 17th birthday sucks. (Although, it puts the idea of also getting leopard skin pants, and unlimited sexual favours, into a different light. *g*) Tough love from his dad, and his mum died just after Elvis when he was young.
Yeah, you know I'm just dying to slash Nigel and Bug...
