Galaxy Rangers Edits - Mission Report 47

Crystal Structures chapter 5 saw a lot of work today, growing by almost 5 continuous pages (discounting two ToDo's on the last one). I think I finally figured out how to tell the battle of the Psychocrypt in fewer words with more tension. It's all in the relative timing (more or less). I'm still unsure that I caught every plot thread properly - several revisits on paper during my morning commute will have to check for that, but overall things are looking better.
