What a powerful and riveting story! I just have one question: Why aren't you writing the novels? ;)

Thank you very much!

Great story! Poor John! Haunted by the memories of a killer and coupled with his own guilt for those he has killed, is not a good place to be...though John will comes to terms with his feelings and the mandatory sessions with Dr Heightmeyer will help...plus the support of his friends!

I loved your story! You were very good at leaving us in suspense at the end of each chapter :( and I love you dramatic touch and the way the story kept on moving and there were barely any slow parts.

Great job!

Great, great story. Loved every chapter of it. Hopefully you will do another soon. Love reading your stuff.

Well, we know they are safe back on Atlantis, but what state will John be in...is Akarin's consciousness stronger? will John be crazy like the murderer? Will they be able to rid Akarin's mind from the John Sheppard we all know and love?! So many questions! Hurry with more!

OMG! That is one very warped tradition these people have. To think that they would do that to one of their own, is just revolting. I have Sharra is able to get her brother away and Atlantis can find them a new and sane home! Love the snark between Ronon and McKay.

Oh boy, this is so exciting. Write more!

Wow...what an interesting...and disturbing concept. Transfer the the guilty one's conscious into an innocent outsider , so that the guilty one is cleared...then charge the unfortunate innocent outsider now harboring the guilt with the crime and punish them..that way they don't lose one of their own! How unfair and how wrong is that! Now, Poor Sheppard is going to die?! These people have serious issues! How are they any better than a murderer killing an innocent! can't wait to see how the team get free!

Wow, real interesting. So how do they get rescued? And how will they save John and themselves from a serial killer? Can't wait for the next update...

Ok...so is that a good exploded or a bad exploded! Doesn't sound too good...but it's an Ancient device and Sheppard's got the gene...so it better be good! Right?! More please and hurry! LOL!

I'm thinking these people are wraith worshipers!

Ohno! Drugged! Ceremony! Why do those two things put together spell trouble?! Great setup chapter...hurry with more!

Amazing piece of writing. I love the paranoia Sheppard displays. captured my attention from the start and didn't let go til I'd read it all. More More More!

Absolutely love the snark! Especially between John and Rodney! LOL! Great stuff!
And yes...these people are weird...why do I feel think it would be a good idea for them to skip,the ceremony?!Looking forward to more!

Just the fact that these people talk of 'The Masters' but have not heard of the Wraith, gives me a bad feeling. I'm thinking the Masters might just be the Wraith. Really enjoy the team banter!
