You raise an interesting point, Alex. I spent a while thinking about it today, and on the drive home this afternoon a way to satisfy both of us presented itself to me.

I think you'll like the modified direction I take with Scott's character in the revised version.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the filter.

This section has the same problem I mentioned when Scott Charles was first introduced; I'm planning on losing the filter device completely and making him a remote viewer. The problem there is that I really love the image of Matt's energy signature rolling over Simon's on the filter's screen.

That's a baby I'm willing to kill, though, sad as it'll make me.
