Oh, this was cool!! I loved the action, the banter (especially between Rodney and Cap!!) - and the robotic squid was excellent, as was the idea that it had concussion!!

I suspect it'll be a very long time before John gets onboard another boat unless he has no choice ... let's hope he doesn't start thinking of Atlantis as a large one!! *bg*

The artwork is great too - very fitting!

This was awesome and hilarious! Especially Cap, he was excellent. And I also loved Ronon being excited to go monster hunting! *gg*

Heeee, cute! and I love the ceomites! All stories should have alien cuttlefish. *nods seriously*

So I'm realizing that I've read this story having done the art for it, but never commented properly. With the Masterlist just going up, I realized this grave mistake and here I am!

This was such a great story to do art for. Our favorite characters had some classic moments and you gave them an adventure worth reading about. I loved the captain! And the sea creatures, mixed in with some wonderful world building. Thanks for sharing!

What a taut, rollicking adventure!
