This is great. I absolutely love the concept of John activating the Ancient healing ring and using it as he did. First his buddy Dex in the field hospital, then in hospitals stateside, then masquerading as a faith-healer.

I also liked the way you doled out the backstories in tidbits: how John got the ring, Rodney's involvement with SGC up to now, Jeannie's story. But most of all, I loved the verbal interplay between John and Rodney as they escaped. An excellent, excellent story.
