great take on the challenge. I love how on the one hand you're marvelously original, while at on the other, you took an element of canon (the VR on the Ancient ship) and ran with it... I really like your conceptualization of an Ancient prison--because of course they would have had criminals, and dangerous criminals, too--and what form that prison might have taken. And the story with the Team, and how they rescue each other from their worst nightmares, is wonderful and moving.
yay!
