This is my fifth time reading this story and I just noticed an inconsistency in this chapter for the first time. You stated in the last chapter that Jane took John's shirt from him yet in this chapter you stated 'his shirt was soaked completely through with sweat'.

I thought you should know about this.

Good chappy

Holycow, this story was intense. The entire time, it was like a horror movie, and it was so well written, so intense, that the end result was an incredible story. Good job.

I'm left wondering whatJane thought of the rescue. I thought Sheppard might be a little against the animal experimentation now ;)

Hol-Y-Crap! No **! *Now* they don't give him drugs?

Ack. Poor John. How horrible. I keep flashing on he vet clinic.

I liked the foreshadowing of describing the way John was being carried to that of how a person would carry a dog.

Ah, jeez. Sheppard just can't catch a break. I thougth he would still be struggling with the Pegasus sting ray bite. I loved Rodney and Ronon giving John ** about his leg. And Ronon's scheming to get Rodney in shape.

You were right. It *is* creepy! :) Somehow I don't think the zoologist is taking all the necessary precautions or following protocols about handling such a dangerous animal.

really good story. all i wanted to do was read it till i had finished but everything was against me. i got there though, and i really enjoyed it. love the way it was written. thanks!

Oh my Gosh! I was weeping threw the whole time! I can't believe how much I enjoyed this story, and how many times my mom tried to kick me off and give up only to repeat the whole ordeal twenty more tiems tell she left! SO, one thing...
Why! WHY those no good pathetic aliens! If I ever see them I'm sticking a boot up ther butts!
Love the story, love the style, love how you've written it, and love how you made it into my favorite style.
Keep up the good work, cause I am not your fan!

Wow, this story was really good. I like the way you refused to flinch from the more graphic horrors. I wish I had more words to describe this truly brilliant piece of work.

Well done.

Great story, I enjoyed it from first to last chapter! Very creepy indeed, it kept me on edge the whole time through. Love the recovery at the end, and I´m a total sucker for Ronon/Shep scenes, so was delighted about the runner being there for Shep. It doesn´t take much words for comfort, but their bond is very strong here. Thank you so much for writing this!

Argh, that was awesome! I love the two-stage whump, lol, one thing leading to another even worse thing. Man, you write excellently, and the comfort is fantastic. I love Ronon and John's relationship in this fic, silent but supportive, and poor Ronon really suffering from feeling so helpless and enraged. Really enjoy the way you write Carson too, with such warmth.

Very glad to have found this fic, too, because now i'm off to read all your others. Whee! :D

Great story. Thanks for writing it. Look forward to reading more from you.
