Author's Comments
This story, if it can even be called that, was really about wrapping up loose ends. I had a great deal of ground to cover, and the "letters/memos/other printed documents" interspersed with more traditional scenes seemed like a fun way to do it.
I think "Set phasers to kill, Mister Coffee Table!" is possibly the best line of dialog I've ever written. I'm only half-kidding about that.
