This is a great story - the reasons for working with the TB2086 crew are plausible and the objections are also plausible.
The only thing for me that isn't plausible is the Mark/Jason situation. It doesn't actually add anything at all to the story (even if they're not lovers, I can still see Mark asking for Jason when he's ill)and I can't help but you've put it in just because you feel it has to be there for this archive.
Having said that - I've got o problems with slash - in fact one of my favorite pairings is Ken/Joe (Gatchaman version). They have a connection and there is plenty of sexual tension between them. Mark and Jason - well that's just not there. There is a connection that comes from them being close and a yin/yang thing - but not lovers. In fact, Sandy Frank and his writers were very careful to add in a lot of Mark/Princess when they did their translation.
I don't know wherelse you have this archived - but take out the lovers bit and then archive it as well somewhere like ff.net and I can guarantee that the Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets fandom will love this. As a fandom, we're rather old fashioned and those of us who do slash/yaoi find that we are in a minority.
Like I said - this is an excellent story. On a formatting side - you always need to be carefull when uploading here to double check the story and then go back and put in spacings after lines. The no-space between lines does make it hard to read.
