Wow, I really like your style of writing in this, the way you describe everything is so vivid. Especially the way the light breaks through the wine and the glass to remind Rodney of Atlantis. Very cool world you've built--well done!

I was so glad when the team showed up and blew Ylla away, that bitch. That was such a great rescue scene, and such a beautiful moment for Rodney as he remembers John. And a pleasant use of a Genii character without her being a "villain"!
