Why This Must Be Read: This piece is a wonderful look at Elizabeth out of her comfort zone - which is where she's lived for the last three years. Atlantis has changed her, and this story has great insight into how it has and how it could further force her to adapt to the Pegasus Galaxy.
Plus, it has great interaction between Elizabeth and Lorne, which is always great to see.
It was supposed to be a simple negotiation - it's always supposed to be simple. A peaceful people with years since their last culling, they were willing to trade food for medicine. A clean, easy deal and a chance for her to have a few days to relax.
But then the Wraith came, the way they always come. The way they've come since those early days, when her people first stepped through the Stargate to explore and learn and make peace and friends - not to fight a war.
Sometimes Elizabeth wonders just how many mirrors her expedition has broken.
