Great story!!

This was some very nice McKay/Weir interaction on her playing field, for once, and both of them written very authentic. I also got a good laugh out of your variations of the translation, and my most favorite sentence here is: 'Rodney considered this, rolling the idea of *anything* about in his massive brain, and agreed to go with her.' Not sure exactly why, but it sounds so funny and paints a cool picture in *my* brain. ^.~

Rodney's life signs detector would shut off once he let go; they need constant contact rather than just gene initialization like I suppose the 'music' device does. Another thing a little confusing was the contract stating 'when the device would be offered', so why did they get to take it along already? Will they have to return with it for an official ceremony's sake?

On a last note, I always greatly enjoy stories that highlight Rodney's musical understanding and I'm still waiting for one that centers around this rather underutilized skill. I don't suppose you'd like to write an adventure requiring Rodney to figure out (or even play himself) music in some way or another, huh? I'd sure love that! ^.^

This story makes me giddy. I love the descriptions of the room and of Beverly, he was such a fun character I think. And poor Elizabeth between him and Rodney, I cackle. An Ancient iPod, priceless. And the excitment of the word 'anything'.

this story is only ok cuz not a lot happened and it wold of ben lots better if it was sheppie in it

i think that guy is gross and wier is reel stupid cuz she brung mckay instead of sheppie and it wold of ben better if it was sheppie there instead

Very nice. Imagery and characterizations are once again impressively rendered. Too bad the producers/writers don't take fan submissions! :-)

Nicely done! It is nice to see Weir as a negotiator and not as just a figure head. And that wily Rodney...ipod indeed.

Wonderful descriptions throughout. The stifling room and the corpulent Beverly just to name two. This series has a nice flow to it. A little character developement for each player. This story was even better when FF let me finally view the first chapter. Read 2 and 3 first. Much easier to understand when you read them in order! ;)

Great story!

I love this little series! The Rodney love and the way he interacts with each and every character! The interplay between him and Weir and how well they really do know each other is great. Gorgeous story, I just wish it was longer!! Hope we get another in this series soon! Who's left?? :)

Worm lips!! Okay that was great and disgusting imagery. *shiver*
Love Rodney bringing up Monty! Delightful! Weir really has the patience of a saint sometimes doesn't she? Wish we could see her in more situations like this one on the show.

Forgive him, he's just that way? HEE!
You have such a way of taking words and painting pictures. I can SEE the horrible room and Weir trying not to roll her eyes and the characters are just so perfect. I don't know how you do it but you do it so masterfully. Can't wait to see what else Weir has to endure between these two and trying to negotiate!

Loved the scene where Elizabeth made Rodney had over his scanner - too funny! :D
Ew, kissing ritual... O_O I'd duck out of that, too. *shudders* Though Beverly probably didn't mind with Rodney. ^_^
Ancient language thingy disguised as iPod? Wow, I didn't see that one coming. :D
Great story! :)

HA! Brilliant! It would have been funny enough if the doodad had just turned out to be an Ancient iPod -- but you take it to the next level! Codes disguised as horrible, horrible music! (Like, Justin Timberlake-horrible! Their poor, poor eardrums!)

Oh, Weir should bring McKay to every negotiation! He's the Hammer! No negotiator can stand before him!

Oh my God, Weir IS a master negotiator! She got McKay to fork over his scanner. Loved that scene! It was like watching two grade schoolers being forced to play nicely and share their toys.

Ha! This negotiation is suspiciously like Let's Make A Deal! The ancient doodad -- what do it do?

Ha! Hoo! I love this scenario! Poor, embattled Weir, trying to broker a trade deal AND stop McKay from sparking an international incident! You bring me great joy!

(Although honestly, Weir totally deserves that headache. You don't bring a bull to a china shop and you don't bring McKay into a situation that calls for diplomacy and/or tact.) Mad love!
