"Shut. Down. The. Self. Destruct." He gritted out. "NOW!"

Ahh, I love it (awesome Elizabeth, everyone backs her up) but also OH NO. Seriously, the end made me freak out a bit. Super awesome.

[goddess47]

Elizabeth was awesome in that episode, wasn't she?

And it did feel freaky! I mean, it was Ancient tech... it didn't always work....

Thanks!

Oh, I really enjoyed this! Especially Zelenka's smitten face, and everyone else's 'not taken by surprise at ALL' faces! Except for Everett's, of course.

Nicely done!!

Oh, yes! Zelenka would always believe in Lizzie!

Thanks!
