Interesting twist. I was kind of wondering which one of you in the QTU would go for a more hardcore, militant female version of a "mountain men / Proud Boys" type group. Especially since CorruptingPower only briefly touched upon it with Covington's harem rebelling. Looking forward to reading how this plays out.
Looking forward to the resolution of this conflict. Issa will need partner reassignment to Colin, obviously, but what about the girl he involuntarily bonded? Will she come around on her own, will she be a source of future conflict, will she get abandoned to her fate, or will she be killed in the enevitable battle? I like it when there are many plausible directions for a story to go. Great work.
Really interesting story direction to take this, fits with the overall story please continue. It's nice seeing different authors explore different aspects of this universe not all of it is going to be Rosie and cheerful.
The QT universe is very dark for oh so many people. It's good to have some stories that go darker. Just make sure to have your characters earn some light now and again and give them some emotional recovery time.
Ill be honest, I am not a fan of this particular arc, a big part of that is the fact that he didnt make a big vocal deal of what happens to Grace without him once he woke up... Hoping for the shortest possible resolution, with the least permanent ties possible to this group of evil.
I was wondering when one of the QT writers would venture off in this direction. Nice distraction from the others. Don't listen to negatives too much. If they don't like it that's okay, there are plenty more of us that will. My only criticism is that this could be one chapter and not three. The ending you made here is a good break into the next, can't wait for the next.
Interesting change of pace. I'm curious where this is going, but I'm hoping the captivity won't last too long. Personally, I much prefer the loving, consensual, affectionate type of teams set up in the other QT stories. But, this one makes an interesting "what if the Karens took over" counterpoint to the whole corrupt ring of the rich and powerful storyline that CP had in his original book. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
Great chapter. If some don’t like it they can skip until the situation is resolved. For me, I like that you’re exploring a different side of what would inevitably be happening in a world where “the end of civilization” is on the table and literally millions are dying.
Thanks for introducing a likely, but not until this chapter, negative consequence of Quaranteam issue. How males can be held captive by manipulative cultish women. And where better than a former nunnery? Good conflict issue, and looking forward to Issa getting loose of Flannery, and Colin Return to Grace.
There has always been a subtle undercurrent of team members mental attitudes becoming more aligned with those of the male. How much is Oracle magic? How much is the serum? How much is just-relax-it-is-a-porn-story? I think Hayes might provide some answers. OTOH, her imprinting was a bit more crude than others. Janky knock off serum?
Very confusing too many things going on at once. I‘ve read all QT:1 and 2, QT commissions by Corrupting Power and all the spinoffs including all of your first ten chapters(Liked them) until this one.

Thank you for this latest development. I like the darkness and light of the various QT threads, it isn't all going to be plain sailing. Grace must be going out of her mind with worry. How will they escape and Issa become unbonded?
I like the story the way it is. The thing that I don’t like is shifting categories. Colin got kidnapped, but it’s still a fantasy sci fi story. Changing categories just makes it harder to find. If I hadn’t checked the new stories list, I would never have known you updated.
I like this story arc. I like the darkness… but not too dark please, seems related to the constituents that senator introduced in CP’s Storyline of Team Rook and related to the origins of the some of the ideas for the proposed legislation for ‘protecting men’.
This is a great unexpected turn to the dark side with the Karen militia. Looking forward to the next chapters. Thanks!
As a fan, I feel it is my duty to ask for longer chapters / installments. In this case, additional comments and concern for Grace and what would be happening back at the camp would have provided a better (to my mind) balance in this portion of the story and given the chapter a more satisfying length. The direction you are taking with this story is making it into more of an adventure than most of the other arcs, and I find your approach a good solid kick in the right direction. The first hint of this twist might have been in CP's version where he mentioned potential legislation for forcing men to be 'safe', and then not metioning opposition to to any such law when being interviewed on the talk shows. Please continue!!!!!
Excellent. Tell me, couldn't they do a reassignment of Issa to Colin or some other gentleman by simply castrating Flannery. He wouldn't like it much, but who cares.
Thank you to everyone for the comments! I know that swapping over to a different category isn't ideal, but as this and the next update represent a major shift in theme I wanted to make sure that it was clear. I have added it to the series list so it should be easier to find (I hope). If people don't like the content, I can't blame you. I never expected to be everyone's cuppa tea and the number of people who have read, reviewed, and commented (whatever they want to say) has blown me away.
I know that there was a lack of sex in this one, but the demands of the plot mean that it's going to happen from time to time. In between the bangin', I hope that my writing is good enough for you all to stick around.
Agree with other commentors on the direction of this Quaranteam storyline being more interesting. Many tend to just mirror the original without adding more plot than a basic harem story driven by DuoHalo. There are a couple exceptions such as the Quaranteam Northwest storyline. So, looking forward to more chapters. Longer is nice but we'll take what we can get. Shorter but more frequent is also good. Just saying. Please keep up the good work.
What a fantastic character Issa is! She's be a bit daunting in real life, I'm sure she'd be manipulating me without much trouble. It's nice for someone to use a capability like that for good or at least 'chaotic good', unlike the expected easy way to write someone like that as just becoming straight up evil.
Definitely not liking this installment. Not what I signed up for. Good plot but of the ranch for me.
Not a fan of masculine women… waiting a little longer to see if this one continues to go off the rails
So the “Christian” leader is fine with torture and rape of an innocent?!? Perhaps you should clarify if she always was just lying about her religion, or if the current situation tipped her over into full blown sociopathic cult mentality!

This is my favourite quaranteam story yet. I am pretty pissed about grace but. If she is killed I will haunt you and poo poo every thing you ever write
