Umm, how about: I read very quickly so hardly any time lost? Honest, guv!
Oh well, in that case... :-)
And I'm thinking someone in Atlantis must be running a book on who's most likely to drop in next (... and Zelenka keeps winning the pot.) In fact, Zelenka's cameo for the win anyway in this story.
Zelenka has a predictive algorithm, based on a lot of things that no-one understands, but which is right 80% of the time. Sheppard, frustratingly, makes random guesses and is right 98% of the time. No-one knows how he manages it (including Sheppard).
Awwww, you bring back Ford.
I love Ford, so he always survives when I'm writing an au Atlantis. I've no idea how in this one... maybe Mitchell asked him to guard Elizabeth? Or vice versa?
And I adore how Cam sees how buzzed Lorne is after the dogfight and thinks, "Oh yeah, gimme some of that." :-)
Yeah, well, ex-pilot, he knows just how Lorne feels, even if it was years ago. And it's his duty as civilian commander to help Lorne work through the adrenaline of space fighting... ahem.
I'm glad you enjoyed it - it was a lot of fun to write :)
