Why This Must Be Read: Another one of my rare SGA recs, with Sam-in-command in a tense off-world situation.All the ladies shine here, especially Teyla, and I found the storyline tense and gripping.
Her instincts say Teyla’s just handed off the security aspect of this mission to her. Teyla will handle the diplomatic side; it’s up to Sam to note the military angle. And maybe, later, they’ll have a chance to speak about what changed in the course of a walk from the Stargate.
“We are an...industrious people,” says Ghillian. “Since we do not travel far from our homeworld, and do not set up colonies, there is much to do to improve our way of life.”
“Do you share those improvements with others?”
“Oh, we have several vassal-cultures who are happy to learn from us.”
Sam doesn’t like the sound of ‘vassal cultures’. A decade of fighting Goa’uld and Orii has made her wary of any culture requiring subservience.
