So, they get to go back to Cascade, but Section will babysit them from other agencies trying to take them for the price of alien tech supplied by the SGC, and Blair will train sentinels for the SGC. Jim will still work in Major Crimes, but possibly will have to do some stuff for SGC also. They will not be on a gate team, but Blair may go off world for training sometimes.
I hope you write a sequel, I'd like to see more of SG1's interactions with them and I'd like to see Jack and Blair come to a better relationship.
Impressive story, and they've just been so manipulated and press-ganged.
It's going to be a complicated relationship, with everyone EXCEPT our boys getting something they want... okay, so NID loses too. This isn't a particularly happy universe, but the boys just keep right on surviving.
Uniting against a common enemy, well that and the fact that Jack has to love someone who offers to commit suicide by spork before working for the NID. And I do think they're in a better place. And they'll do good work... and have LOTS of smex.
I just built up so much anger throughout the whole story because their lives had been taken away and they could never get them back again. I know there's really no way out of it and that this choice is as good as it gets, still I stay angry for them both.
Don't worry about it. Well written stories can affect me this way. It is BECAUSE it is so well written that it does so. =>}
It is an excellent read. Thanks again for sharing it with us. =>}
The ending was somehow anticlimatic...especially since there isn't really an explanation why Jack suddenly changed his opinion and decided to really try to recruit them suddenly...I like the solution and the explanation for sections actions, but the shift in SG1-politics didn't really make sense....
nevertheles, a good job...I hope, you will write a new sentinel story soon.
Hmmm. I thought I had built in enough subtext with Hammond and Jack to give you a hint that the general had been working on Jack. See if this makes it clearer...
Jack nodded in agreement. "But if you can train Sentinels as good as Ellison here, I can see the advantage of that. The General and I have actually been doing a lot of reviewing on your case and on some intel the CIA has gathered on Section, not that they have that much, but," Jack shrugged. "The point is that you're good, Ellison. I never would have dreamed of sending a Sentinel in undercover, and you've handled some difficult assignments, and from the oddities in your case files, you've used your senses heavily while undercover. I can definitely see the advantage of that."
Yeah, but earlier he said that he wont have someone working for him who is on a section leash, no matter how good he is...and than he even allows them to go back to cascade under sections protection....

Ooooh, I like any universe where Jim&Blair get to work with SG1. *colour me happy* :-)
Wee fixes: Jim chuckled and large hands tracing some pattern [traced] as she thrust out the pile into Blair's arm [thrust the]
you use both Ph.D. and PhD, need to standardise on one of them
panic on a mission, even for second, [a second] Jack was being frightening logical [frighteningly] if you don't take this seriously. [seriously."] on that assumption. [assumption?]

Well, work *with* might be a little strong unless something goes really wrong because Jack is still going to keep them at a suspicious arm's length, but they are certainly going to be on the same side.

Hmm. I'm not sure at all just what I think about all this. I shall have to ponder on it awhile. =>}
Wonderful writing in a very intricate and interesting universe. Thanks! *g*

No, no, no! Nothing like that at all!
