trying a sequel perhaps where Buffy takes General Hammond's offer.

Good story.

Good, light story that you should carry on with.

Nice ficlet. Keep up the good work.

Good start of the bigger story. As a one-shot though... a bit too abrupt ending, a bit too much loose ends. Say, your description of gen.Hammond's actions at the beginning is GOOD, but as there is nothing tied to it in the ending, it's half-wasted. The talk with Buffy? Also interesting, and have a lot of potential - as a beginning of something.
Basically, my advice will be - continue this fic, please. Had it been a first chapter of the unfinished story - I'd gladly rated it 9. As a "completed" story... 6 to 7. Anyway - thanks for the good work.

Gotta feel sorry for General George when all he wanted to do is retire.

I could definitely see this as the start of a longer story, or even a series. I'm not sure that Buffy would be this open, but your portrayal of Gen. Hammond seems dead on target.

Buffy might perhaps have been a little more cautious, given her reason experiences with the military, but Hammond probably came across as a good and honest man. He was always one of my favourite characters in Stargate (I much preferred him to Landry). This certainly has potential for future development.

Thanks for writing this.

I can't quite see Gen. Hammond as forgetting to *offer* help. Certainly, he knows they're likely to be less than happy with the military (though his reaching out like that might have much larger effects than he realizes). I also expect he's going to be listening to the news a lot more carefully, listening for the truly odd things that might indicate they could need help.

Neat!

An interesting concept and a lovely tribute to Hammond and Don S. Davis, the man who played him.

Nice! I could seriously see Buffy taking up General Hammond's offer after Sunnydale's collapse.

Something I've sometimes thought about is the Goa'uld always having known about Vampires and Demons while the Jaffa have 'legends' about a mighty warrior who defends human(and Jaffa)kind from Sokar's monsterous creatures who escape from Natu. I can just see Jack & Sam trying (and failing) to convince Teal'c that Dracula isn't real and 'The Exorcist' isn't a documentary about a real life event.

Wow, he sure is a nice guy, for a General. That is how all contacts with Buffy should have been handled.
