![]() ![]() ![]() Great work on this chapter. I must say, Teal'c's observation on the "Bacta tank" and Janet's reaction were just beautifully brilliant. Those "Crystal Prophets" are interesting, not being familiar with the work that inspired Far Traveler, I wonder who are those "Makers". Then the: "It had to be done." scene. That one sentence resonates with me on a personal level... In my humble opinion Xander was in the right, and I must say you beautifully depicted the weight of such a choice. The way I see it, he merely excised a bunch of cancerous cells that threatened the body of Humanity as a whole. If anything, I truly feel saddened by the waste of potential those lives represented, it shouldn't ever have come to that, nor Xander shouldn't have needed to do this... Hopefully it won't ever be needed again. Anyhow! This was a brilliantly written chapter and I look forward to the next update! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for the quick update. Loved the chapter. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Are they going to build Lightsabers next by any chance? I mean i can just imagine Jack, Carter and especially Teal'c going gaga over them if so. Will they by any chance give Jack a ship so he can finally name it The Enterprise? Will you have the crew meet the Asgards and Nox by any chance? Would love to see how those talks go, maybe even help the Asgard with their cloning issue perhaps (i was sad to see them go, i liked Thor and his interactions with SG-1). |

![]() ![]() ![]() I like the way youJsck and Willow discover the Crystal Prophets. And how Xander deal with the other Nations that were causing trouble. |
![]() ![]() ![]() that is the only way to deal with a cancer like them cut it out at the source |

![]() ![]() ![]() Two belts, one vertical and along the N-S axis and the other horizontal and at a E-W axis would only intersect twice. in the example you proposedone would intersect at 90 degreesa second at 270 degrees Sorry for being picky, the geometry was just driving me bonkers. Note that 3 loops would then intersect 6 times: 90 and 270 vertically and at 0, 90,189270 horizontally |
![]() ![]() ![]() I must say I'm really happy with how you have the Far Traveller crew dealing with international disclosure of their presence, a good cross section of the politicking without getting too bogged down, a clear and smart plan to implement their goals over time instead of just 'got a cool ship, zoom off, fight aliens' and you've nailed the aspect of this trope/challenge that I've been annoyed with by so many other takes in other stories. They've got a whole mess of technology that can help regular people the world over, clean energy, clean water, grow more food, heal the sick... and they are actually using it. Too often with these cross-over fics - Ship of the Line ones too - they just fall in with whichever crossover they are going with and stay hidden, tinker around in some small areas with a few specific interests the author has and follow the canon with a twist or two. Genuinely uplifting humanity is a laborious task in story and - I imagine - can be a pitfall trying to write in an immersive and interesting way for readers, but done right it is rewarding. A bit self-insert fantasy-fulfilment too, I guess. Who wouldn't want to solve world hunger, the energy crisis, end environmental devastation and so on... and if we suddenly had the knowledge and technology, what would we do? What WOULDN'T we do? Ideas, if they are useful to you? Fabricating medicines, medical supplies and the like and beaming them down into clinics in impoverished parts of the world would alleviate extraordinary amounts of suffering. Maybe with a tablet too that allows someone to create an inventory of needed supplies/medicines that the Far Traveller can provide. I know this is the late 90s but garbage in the oceans was already well and truly accumulating and dumping was probably even more prevalent. Landmine would be a cinch to clean up. Could easily take nuclear/toxic waste off of Earth's hands. Conservation of endangered species, still alive and only stories in the future but can be saved now. Don't forget the Stargate in Antarctica that hasn't been mentioned since early on - or any of the other stuff on Earth, i.e. ancient healing device in Honduras, Glastonbury Tor, the Ancients outpost in Antarctica too, Osiris' ship in Egypt, Seth in his compound and so on. Kind of hoping that sooner or later someone confronts the Far Traveller crew with their future not matching this galaxy, i.e. the Goa'uld, Asgard and Tonalse. No other nerd on Earth aware of the failed pilot has connected the dots yet? Will Xander and company have to admit they are now sure they aren't in their own universe's past and are shocked - shocked I tell you - that some of their universe's details are science fiction in this universe... a coincidence so mind-boggling its bound to make some people suspicious. |
