I think they've done a good job bringing Mitchell around. Slow and steady, letting his relationships with the other team members grow organically, letting his competence as an off-world explorer grow in a realistic way. Mitchell is in charge. I think Mallozzi did his usual making a bad situation worse by stating that Mitchell and Carter will take turns being leader. I'd bet my car he didn't get that statement cleared by the USAF first.

The shippers attacking Ben and Mitchell are just making tptb annoyed with them. At least Ben isn't too concerned. I think his wife is feeling a bit protective towards her man, though.

Great news about everyone signing! And I finally finished the con report and have posted it. I hope you enjoy it. :)
