Oh, wonderful look into both the individual mind of a particular Wraith and the history of the race as a whole. Nicely done!

Thanks! I was talking to a friend about SGA the other day, when I realized there's a big gaping hole in the cannon between 'the Wraith are created' and 'the Wraith are technologically advanced enough to fight the Ancients and win'. Thus, this happened. Weirdly, I got hung up on why the didn't starve to death before they could develop their tech.

you think way too mich, she says in an admiring tone.

Um... Thank you? ^_^
I blame academia.

[heat_vision]

Mmm, very creative, well written, and not AU. Awesome.

Thank you! I was trying to figure out how the Wraith could ever have gotten technologically advanced enough to take on the Ancients. It takes time to get there even if you are working with a guide, and if they had been eating humans while they were still developing, surely the Ancients would have noticed and nipped them in the bud. So I came up with this. And I still finished my term paper on time, wonder of wonders. ^_^

oh, very interesting! It would explain why they have such advanced technology, and yet their technology hasn't changed for thousands of years (b/c the desperate race for it stopped once they discovered humans?). Nice tie-in to Sheppard, and nice ending line.

typo: 'lower cast males' => 'lower caste males'

[blue_underwing]

Shoot. Fixed it. Thank you, I'd never have caught that.
