Why this must be read:

Tarlan is hands down one of my fav McShep writers; this gal knows how to spin a yarn with the best of 'em. She's written several fics with the Quantum Mirror/Alternate Reality schtick; I had a really hard time narrowing it down. But Golden Opportunities came out ahead 'cause it's just so darn unique! This drabble gives a brief, but ever so fascinating, look at the world from which the ever-vanishing Daedalus  in "Daedalus Variations" is from. When our team is watching the recording from Colonel Sewell on the fate of the original crew, I always wondered what that world was like or how that commander felt with no hope of rescue. Tarlan gives an VERY intriguing look at a totally different world that just made me smile.

Story Summary: She thought it was a golden opportunity to show the council her true worth.
