Very good story, I really enjoyed it.     I really liked the fact that you had a still-unsouled Spike as the hero, and actually had Buffy admit to her feelings for him.     Bringing Willow and Xander (almost) completely around to Buffy's side was also a good move.    Giles was problematic for me.    Although I liked him in the earlier seasons of the show (when Spike was first chipped), and Giles seemed to accept the fact that the chip happened for a reason, by the end of the show, I couldn't stand him.    He was the same here:  at first understanding and almost supportive, then distrustful and cruel--and that was when he wasn't being influenced by Dr. Walsh!   

Overall, great story!   I would definitely like to read more.    Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us
 

Great adventure fic.  Thanks for taking us on a trip through the initiative.

 

i love it i love it i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!in deed the most interesting initiative story i read!!!!!!!!!!!dont stop writing!!!!!!!

This fic was brilliant! I read it in two days, just couldn't stop. Well done!

 Great work, filling in lots of possible futures in this tangled web of a plot!  Horrid, frightening parts, very sad and tear-making places but a fab ending.  Matt's a good original character, too, with lots of room to grow.  Even Xander mananged to meet a new girl.

 I love Spike's "what are your intentions" talk with Matt. Especially  “Don’t worry mate, you’re family now. I hardly ever eat family.”  =]
