Terrific story, needs a little focus

I enjoyed Dr. Xivray and found it to have a lot of fun qualities to it. My one minor issue was that there were times when the author seemed unclear on exactly what *type* of story they wanted to tell: there was some vacillating between noir, snarky comedy, and moving exploration of serious topics revolving around identity and technology.
