I'm a few chapters into it... I love it! You really have a knack for creating interesting OCs... I was sorry when Dazy died. And I love the idea of McKay supposed to be playing detective. Understanding machines, not people, indeed.

I printed this story out for travelling and it has sweetened the flight muchly. :)

Loved it! Thank you so much for writing this. The story really sucked me in and I've spent the past three evenings reading it...
There are perfect (and very funny) comments between the team throughout and the extra characters were all memorable and distinctive.
Cool!

Wow, that was so fun to read! I love well done mystery stories, and this one kept me guessing until the end. Just when something seemed obvious, another thing would pop out and take me by surprise.

The team moments were great, too. I adored Sheppard's rambling as he was going through the desert, the team's ruthless teasing of Rodney, all of it. I also love the more girlish side of Teyla that you've brought out here!

The only thing I could think to improve on would be to lessen the description a bit--it was a bit heavy in places and seemed to drag the pacing. But this is a very minor attribute compared to how well-written the story was.

Hello! ^^ I've reread your story again and it is still as great as it has been the last time! I love this story very much! Well, all of your stories! I realised that Sheppard said the same thing to Rodney in 'the Last Man' like in Desert Orkids: "You got the girl" So I just had to read it again! Great story still! ^^

Great build up of tension towards the close of this chapter which has got me on edge now.

I loved your description of Rodney's snarky mood and the change from 'hell' to 'helluva' was priceless. I had such a good laughl; this was clever.

wow... that was a GREAT fic! i actually had to remind myself that this WAS a fic!! you write so realistically, it's amazing! i loved everything about it! I honestly don't see why you were so worried.

And if you can't take my word on how amazing your fic was, take Sholio's! Sholio knows who how to write a fic!

Great, great fic! Very tense, loved all the twists and turns, and every one of your OCs was well-written and believable. I loved the world you created, and the multi-layered culture you set this adventure in. And, of course, the whumping was very much appreciated!

*delight* Oh, this was wonderful and perfect -- I loved your infirmary scene, and everybody teasing Rodney in the jumper (such a lovely family vibe!) and Sheppard's quiet little defusing of the teasing at the end ... just wonderful, all of it.

Sorry I haven't reviewed the last few chapters, but I read them quickly at work then logoff. I loved the story it was so well written and you did such a great job with the characterizations. I also loved the Sheppard and McKay banter at the end with Shep telling McKay he so owes him.

Thanks for the great read! See you out there!

So, see there wasn't any reason to be anxious, this story was great ! About Katie, you wouldn't want to make a story including her, in a near future? ^_^

I loved it!! Loads of whump and angst through a really involved and well thought out plot. Thought your original characters were fab, even though it seemed like it was a quite complex network of characters and politics, you wrote it in a way that was easy to follow and I didnt get confused at all! (unusual for me :))

The mocking Rodney was a great ending as well!

Yay! Brava! Encore! Et cetera! *stands up claps loudly*

A fantastic ending to an absolutely fabulously told (as usual) tale! I laughed rather heartily at this chapter, although you gave me quite a scare in the last one. I was nearly as worried as Rodney sounded to be for Jaquette. And, of course, the obligatory "Aw... so cute!" moment. ^_~

I love how you capture each of the characters so perfectly. I don't think there's a single story of yours that's disappointed me. Surprised me, certainly, but never in a bad way.

Thanks for sharing your imagination with the rest of us. It brightened my day to read this. ^_^

Absolutely loved this story. You really did an excellent job. It read like a published novel. I hope you write more mystery stories like this! Well done.
