Cool format, I liked getting the multiple outsider POVs.

I enjoy outsider POVs, which is probably why I wrote some many. Thanks!

[Perhaps worst of all was that Sheppard was smiling. In Ladon's experience, it was rarely a good sign for his people.]

This was wonderful; it's always nice to see outsiders' view on Atlantis and it's goings on. I have to admit, I was sold when Atlantis started the personnel check in order of importance, and the touch of John being "Supreme Commander," etc, was hilarious. The random assortment of characters and their sentiments were believable and an interesting read.

Well done!

Thanks! Atlantis has its own set of priorities, even if it isn't sentient the way we think of the term. Those priorities don't always match the expeditions, hence people getting quarantined or vented into space at times....

I'm really enjoying this series and look forward to the next part of the universe you're crafting. I have to admit, it took me a second read-through to realize just who Dr. Jackson was. Hope to see more of him :).

Oh, you will. In more ways than one. ;)

I really, really dug this. I enjoy seeing glimpses of Atlantis's impact on big and small...and these were little slices of such influence. I wish we got more insight into the new power struggle and the Genii's involvement so I found Landon's section to played perfectly.

I'm also a huge fan of don't mess with us Sheppard so his 'demonstration' to Leop IX was uber cool. The other view points added some nice city building and I found the whole thing very intriguing.

And I laughed at Larrin's part, I loved Ronon's fierce stare and her conversation with John.

Yeah, this entire new coalition and Genii thing came out of left field. It'll be fun to play around with, though.
