very well done sir.

Wonderful story, I look forward to reading more!

This is ridiculously good. I've never played EVE before but I'm going to have to try it now. Thanks!

A couple of the reviewers are on the same boat you are with firing through a gate at the world you're planning to go to.

One big problem with that: the DHD on the far side.

They're tough, no question, but they can get shot up quite easily, and once damaged tend to not work any more.

Given the staff weapon is the standard Jaffa load and the power of the CAR9 I have to question the wisdom of repeating that little trick.

I should have updated sooner. It is being addressed :P

come back to this story.....please.

I will. It is still my primary, but RL have kept me from it. Chapters are more time consuming, The others are shorter and much lighter to write, better fitting the time I have available at the moment. Besides I had to redo some of the last chapter, as I screwed up the times a bit. I accidentally planned out the visit to England by saying 1900 EST = 1200 GMT (-7 hours, it's +7), in an early outline of the past chapters. It stuck, and didn't realize the mistake till after it was posted.

The problem is solved now.

Btw. Check Chapter 1. I did add a cover image you might like.

this one demands more of this awesome!

Great chapter. Keep up the good work.

Came back to reread the story and saw your new graphics on chapter one. Very nice!

Very good job! I hope there is more coming soon.

I get the impression you still play EVE Online. If you do have an account I have a suggestion you can make to the game designers. The antimatter suicide charge. I got the impression that pirating clans are a major annoyance especially for independent freighters. If a lot of them were carrying a mass of antimatter that could be dumped straight into the reactor mass of the freighter, they could basically raise a middle finger to the pirate who destroyed them. As it's antimatter, the blast radius would be...significant. Certainly enough to take out the pirate who destroyed them. While the freighter captain would be out the cost of a new freighter and a resurrection, the PIRATE would be out the cost of a frigate, cruiser, or whatever and a resurrection. Piracy only works when it is cost effective or the pirate is basically a scumball. It would even be easily enough to explain in canon to the game. As capsuleers are effectively immortal and can be reborn elsewhere, the only reason not to take the person who killed you with you is the cost of a new ship. If the pilot is going to lose that anyway, why not make it hurt them too? I figure that the main governments would not allow them to be ACTIVE in high security (safe) systems, but in low security systems this would be one MAJOR deterrent to piracy. The indy freighters and miners would probably LOVE the idea. When a pirate tries to extort money out of them, they can threaten BACK. Best thing to do would be to have it auto-detonate when the ship is destroyed or manually. It could even set up for basically suicide charges in the manner of "fire ships" from the days of sailing ships. If the pilot is paid off beforehand they might be willing to take out a large group of enemies and resurrect somewhere else. It would let them basically turn their ship into a Very Big Guided Missile. It wouldn't really work in real life because of the lack of rebirth tech, but in the game...it could be a whole new war with just this one. tiny. change. *Insert EVIL grin here.*

I just want to leave a comment on two things I really like so far, first they don't immediately spill their secrets to each other "Hi I'm Buffy secretly i'm the Vampire slayer... yes vampires are real... and magic, in fact it created these ships" so the fact they are suspicious and each have their own goals and now methods is great. Speaking of methods claiming the system has the potential to be one of the best plot points I've seen in ages. The SGC will not just accept that whether it affects earth politics or not even though they themselves have been usurping the sovereignty of other nations by acting and making treaties on behalf of the entire Earth. This sort of potential conflict between two groups of 'Goodies' is not explored enough and IMO what makes crossovers so great. I'm looking forward to what you write next.

P.S. Is their going to be any more fallout over Xander and Willows death because if I were them that alone would have me furious with everyone involved, including the SGC. the SGC demanded reparations earlier I hope the scoobs come up with something clever for themselves.
-FG

very good job

Good chapter, my only complaint is that they live in Sunnydale so they've all gone through situations where they were waiting convinced they would die, and more than once too.

Note: You mean like when the Zoo's Animal Handler held a knife to her throat and was waiting for Xander to show up so he could slit it?

The danger, yes, but not really the perceived certainty.
Remember this is mid season 2, if I recall, the only one having been in those shoes at this point, is Buffy at the end of season 1.

poor Jaffa never knew what blew them up. :)

Sounds like they are having a blast with the CAR-9s. Ha ha ha! How about tossing a big glass ball of liquid chlorine. If you could wait for it to dissipate, though. Or toss a putricine or methyl mercaptan grenade.
