Unascended -- the page numbers game
By popular request, the page numbers game!
Here's how it works: you give me a number between 7 and 271 (because those are the pages in the book with actual story on them) and I'll give you a sneak peek at what's on that page. So ask away!

Lorne assembled his team in the jumper bay. Sgt. Anthony and PFC Harper were both relatively new to Atlantis, part of the Marine contingent assigned to replace people who’d been transferred out while they were on Earth. They’d spent most of their stay in the Pegasus galaxy so far getting oriented and then immediately facing a Wraith invasion of the city. Pretty much par for the course as far as newcomer orientation went.

Let’s spend a little more time checking this place out before we set up a lot of tents and equipment there.”
