Three dollars and some change

Very nice. All of the characters have gone through some sort of ethical transformation since the start of the expedition, but none more so that Elizabeth. I really wish that the writers had taken the time to explore the emotional fallout from that episode.

Just a few nitpicks - the canon spelling for the long haired jerk is Kavanagh not Cavanaugh, and you slipped up in para 8 and used Elisabeth not Elizabeth. Neither of which detracted from my enjoyment of the ficlet but I thought I should point them out.
