ROTFL!!! Oh, thank you so much - this is just so awesomely funny! Exactly the kind of cultural and political tangle in Pegasus I love reading about, with the team stumbling into a culture and starting a chain of events they really didn't expect....
I love that you included so many secondary characters, and wrote such distinctive voices for them, giving them such clear personalities in such a short space. I loved the notion that Amelia has learned to read the subtleties of Teyla's body language, and I like the way you've looked at how Alicia having a chip on her shoulder about how female personnel are treated, and I adored Beth's mix of earthiness, practicality and fun, which makes me want to know more about her and the rest of "Scroungers R Us".
There's also great snark, I can imagine everyone's expressions perfectly - especially John's and Teyla's - and I was squeeing at the lightly-woven in science and the "solution" to the trade agreement.
In short, I loved it - thank you so much for writing such a great story!
