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!

Teyla poured him a cup of tea. Rodney would have preferred coffee, but it didn’t seem like the moment to insist.
“I dreamed about Elizabeth,” he said. “When I was a Wraith, when I couldn’t even remember that I was human, let alone remember my own name, she helped me. And then she appeared in the puddle-jumper. That wasn’t a hallucination. It was the real Elizabeth, and she had Ascended.” He spread his hands defensively. “All right, let’s get the part where you tell me I’m crazy out of the way.”
“Why would I say that?”
“Everyone else thinks so. Except maybe Ronon, but who knows what he really thinks.”
“I have dreamed of Elizabeth too,” Teyla said seriously.

page 250 -- you get Lorne!
Lorne had barely set foot in the control room when Sgt. Anthony called in from the alpha site. “Sir, we’ve got problems,” Anthony said.
“What now?” Lorne asked, sliding into the seat beside Airman Salawi, who returned her attention to her computer screen. “We need that alpha site.”
“The new equipment we brought out is falling apart, too. The tents are just coming apart in pieces. The water cans look like somebody set them on a hot stove.”

“You made us haul that thing home,” Ronon said.
“It’s still useful,” Rodney said. “Just not incredibly useful when all we have is one broken device. I think we should try to find another one.”
“I actually agree with Dr. McKay,” Daniel said, with an expression that made it clear he felt that was a possible sign of the apocalypse. “This is the first early Asgard settlement site - or maybe it’s better described as an observation post - that we’ve seen in the Pegasus Galaxy. Even though it’s not nearly as early as the Ancient sites we were originally looking for, I’m tempted to see if we can find out anything else about what the Pegasus Asgard were up to at this point. I realize it may not have immediate practical applications -”

Elizabeth put her hand on her arm. “I am so sorry. And so sorry to have asked.”
“It was a long time ago.” Atelia forced a smile. “And I’ve found a place with the Travelers. The technology that everyone understood on Sateda is rare and complicated everywhere else. I have skills that are valuable. I understand what these do.” She touched the bottle. “I learned.”
“And you have a family,” Elizabeth said.
“Oh yes.” She nodded, glancing back over her shoulder at the little face behind hers. “I have a son and a husband, though he’s not with us now because he’s a Hunter.”
“What does he hunt?” Elizabeth asked.
Atelia’s smile wasn’t nice at all. “He hunts Wraith.”

John sat in front of his laptop, trying to figure out how to frame the email he was thinking of sending.
Hi Sam, he began mentally. How’s it going? I was just wondering if you think there’s any chance that Elizabeth Weir is an Ascended being, rather than being dead in space because we couldn’t do anything to save her.
That sounded crazy. If he got that kind of email from someone, he’d think there was something wrong with them. Like they were having some kind of guilt complex about not being able to save people they cared about. So, screw that.
Hi Sam,, he tried mentally composing again. Hope you’re having a good time on the Hammond.
