Wonderful opening for this next story in a fantastic series.

I applaud your imagination! To be able to give them all such meaningful presents. Brilliant!

This is a most beautifully written chapter. The team showing their appreciation and finding Jon his dog was just so touching. I cried freely... Thank you for a lovely story!

Please, please, PLEASE tell me you have the fourth installment of this story tucked away somewhere, and that I can read it!! I found Monkey Screaming on a Gateworld rec page, and read parts one and two here. I read part three on Helio2 (sue me, I didn't want to miss anything!) and now I really would love to read the fourth part.
This is one of the best-written stories I think I've ever found. I loved the Fragile Balance episode and it really bothered me that the dropped the subject of the clone, never to be touched again. And I was surprised how few clone fics, really, that have been written.
Your story was a surprise. I never thought about 'clone' Jack breaking down - he's such a strong character. But your reasoning made complete sense (scarily so - decided I don't really want to know how you got into the commando mindset so well) and I loved the resoloution, and then the seemingly endless complications.
Please let me know if you have the next story even started. I'll be waiting!

Holy f*in' S*! You got some kind or psychology degree lurking away under your bed or what? That was the most well-explained Clone-aftermath I've ever read!

And the complete overhaul of the Sinking Ship - amazing. You're into such huge restauration projects? 'Cause that was some seriously detailed work there...

Lol, I'm not sure whether you conveniently skipped over all the bureaucratic nonsense things like that require, or if it really is that easy in the USA (I'm leaning more towards the second, together with a good helping of SGC influence - where I live, authorities would have a conniption at just about anything the four of them did, from buying the plot to setting up their own businesses to building a new training hall. Jon would have one and a half full-time jobs getting all of that through our local authorities. And I don't even want to talk about the home-made Semtex episode, although it was bloody hilarious. And yes, as you might have guessed, I don't live in the USA)

Gods, this one's definitely going into my favorites.

I enjoyed the Monkey Screaming series, and hope I get to read part four - this fit neatly into the SG1 mythos like it'd always been there AND got me interested in seeing the series in earnest - you made a fan of me.

Exceptional story.

"they would never go offworld as a team again."

two words: civilian contractors. (not that i'm in favor of the concept . . . but it would be one way to get a closely related group, not all of whom are military, into the Stargate program. and the security issues of hiring outside the program would be moot.)

thank you for a wonderful story. you mentioned a fourth installment, which i have been unable to locate. has it been written yet?

with all best wishes,

"I just wanted to meet the girl who had so much power over my son that every second sentence started with 'Alex says'. I was half-expecting to meet my future daughter-in-law."

you probably already had this pointed out to you . . . but when Turner came out to the farm the first time (Chapter 3), he was looking for one of the guys to be 'Alex'. wasn't he?

just nit-picking, i guess. thank you for a very enjoyable story! (i think of it as, "'This Old House' . . . in Space!" even tho' mini-SG1 are Earth-bound.)

with all best wishes,
aw

Are you ever going to finish this story? I would love the fourth installment. It would bring joy to my liver!

Ever hear of the show Dark Angel? I loved the line about military breeding programs with genetically enhanced super-soldiers and it'd be interesting if you never heard of the show.

TTFN,

Awesome story again. One question though-where's story #4? It's not at Heliopolis 2. Unless I was being blind, which is always a possibility. Anyhow, great read. I really liked seeing everyone come together and help. I grew up on a farm, where when you needed a barn re-roofed, you called all the neighbors and friends and had a BBQ, and it was magically finished the next day. I really miss that mindset now, living in the big city (of Houston,which really doesn't count as a big city, given how sprawling it is, but it definately ain't back country.)Thanks for writing and sharing.

Awesome fic!

Another Wonderful chapter!

Aww... What a touching part! How fitting! Wow!

Well done.
