Day 20 of 31 Flavors

This short story set in Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries universe captures the voice of the AI protagonist, and I was prompted to re-read the series after reading winterhill's piece ( Read more... )

I picked this because it's SGA teamfic, but with Brad Colbert and other OCs plus Cadman, which is always pleasing, because if you can't get team feels in a 'verse where there are hostile Space Vampires out to kill every other race, when can you?
