Oh, man! Ouch! Brutal. Giant, evil kitties, Rodney sounding just like I love, a John of seriously questionable morals and stability, everything they know gone, and a whole world full of mineral resources to themselves. A cruel start to what I suspect is going to be a hell of an adventure! I love the possibilities inherent in this. And really, the idea of sketchy!Sheppard and any Rodney McKay set loose on the galaxy is enough to make me squee! Had lots of fun reading this. Thank you!!
