I had a lot of fun recognizing the various crossovers, but you also had a solid main plot-line, so good work!
I especially liked that Vasquez DIDN'T die this time (and Hicks seems to have survived in better condition), and that Cooper Hawkes joined the Marines of his own free will, rather than choosing Marine Corps service over a prison term, and that as a free-born Jaffa he presumably doesn't have to deal with the same kind of entrenched prejudice that the in vitros did on the "Space: Above and Beyond."

Hmm, I would change the primary category to Television -) Joan of Arcadia and the second to Stargate -) General -) Theme: Multi-Crossovers ... or vice versa. Would help the story stand out better, which would be a good thing as it's pretty cool :D
MiniGate rocks, awesome take on Abydos, God's talking to Kirk rather than to his actor is cool, nice 'freak' accident on Kobol, great integrity field, the cameo officers and person-who-might-be-mini-Jack-but-likely-isn't come across well, the X-Files rock, awesome video game flying tech, Discworld rocks, great consequences for the Colonials reaching Earth, awesome alien point defense, and, what, you put the author in jail??
Chapter 4--The injuries might have been worse if the military’s silly insistence on bolting all the furniture to the deck -- Should be 'worse if not for the'
5 --“I didn't think they would risk shooting that close to their won hull." -- Should be own
Any chance of a sequel?

Really good story. Is there a chance you will get inspired to write a sequel?

While I was really happy to see that somebody other than me remember Space: Above & Beyond, and seaQuest DSV-- having so many crossovers in one place was really distracting and kind of confusing. Also, I think the story only works if you understand all the references, and I only got half of them. (I didn't know all of the crossed-over material).
I liked the idea for the story, I just thought there was a bit much going on there.
Very much enjoyed the sly references to other settings, and the robotech names fit so well. That said, the actual plot read like a Weber novel, and I like Weber, so thats cool too ^_^

Very enjoyable fic thank-you for sharing it with us, I will be puting a 'Rec' on this one.
My only quibble is the use of 'Vipers' as fighters...me I'd have used Bab5 Star Fury's and Thunderbolts, but thats me. I just love the idea of flying backwards at full speed and shooting at the guys on your tail. Now there's an idea for a story...a slayer Star Fury pilot...hmmm.
All the best, DaveT.

I wonder if the number of reviews people receive during this rhyming day/week, whatever, goes down?
Anyway, being a total rebel, anarchist and believing firmly in Free Will and Self Determination I shall ignore the threats made by the ruling elite and review as normal.
Another great chapter, I think this is the best Sci-Fi based xover I've read in a long-long time, keep up the good work.
i think I noticed a couple of typo's didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story but I thought I should just mention it.
DEATH BEFORE DISHONOUR!
All the best, DaveT.
