Beta Read catch for Ch27:
'It never occurred' Hammond told him
should be "It never occurred to me"

Caught /abbreviation/ on Kindle when rereading story
- No need for change (hard to turn off the copy-editor in me)

That's not actually a typo (for once), it's just an abbreviation of the phrase.

Great story and very nice to see an alternate reality where Earth didn't get it's ass kicked default-like as seen in the show.

Thanks for the review, hope you enjoy the sequel :-)

Holographic projections, both visual and audio, work through shields? Could you rig up a sonic attack or a create a light orb so bright it (temporarily) blinds everyone who sees it? How about filling an entire room with illusionary concrete so no one inside the image can see, period?

Cool work. Thanks for creating this stuff at an impressive rate and quality :D

...

Thanks :)

Hmm, there might have to have a separate rig than the straightforward communications array as that seems to be a 'truthful' image, unless they can figure out a way to hack the feed...

Oh hey, combine the first two ideas and you might have a very good reason that Thor's old hulking viking image-cloak was known as 'the God of Thunder'.

Heh. I'm fairly certain that you could flood a room with enough shifting patterns and the right mixture of light and sound that, with prolonged exposure, say several minutes, most everyone present would succumb to debilitating vertigo/nausea. Reducing the time from several minutes to several seconds would likely greatly enhance its usefulness, but I don't think it's possible to do so...

Interesting ideas!

Well done.

While I usually don't care for insertion fics that much, XSGCOM was certinally the exception. You increassed the threat level well and kept the story interesting, rather than just putting the characters in and letting them solve the problems that the orgianal story solved with the orgianal characters quite well with little or no change to the orgianal storyline.

I liked what you did with the XCom people introducing them into the SGC. Adding them into their team structure. Commander Sharp came across as a trifle Gary Tuish at times, but by and large he was an enjoyable character.

I liked the Battle at Cydonia, it was much more realistic than how you have to do it in X-Com UFO, by that time I usually have at least two or three Avengers, and I'm annoyed that I can only take one to Mars with me.

I also liked your adapting of weapons from both shows into the storyline.

I was disappointed that Jack's Mini-Me failed to make an apperance, but I liked the Sharp/Fraiser storyline that you did do. Especially no one thinking that a Sarchoughous fixing things. I hope you continue the 'courtship' in the next story.

Thanks for sharing, off to start reading the next one.

Sharp is very good at the things he believes he should be good at, he's not necessarily right about what those *are* though. :-p

Mini-Jack would have been tricky to do at the point in the SG Timeline when it happened in canon... which is not to say the concept is lost...

Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed the Fic :-)

You have done an excellent job with this story and it has been added to my list of CoA nominee candidates.

Thanks and I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed the story :-)

Congrats on finishing an excellent story, thank you & congrats again

Thanks :-)

Love it, looking forward to more. I loved the original X-com game, glad to see that someone else liked it. Wonder if I can get it to run with windows 7... This series is one of my favorites. Really look forward to your updates.

Thanks for the review, hope you like the sequel :-)

Great update with some nicely done humor to help reduce tech overload.

You can never have too much humour ;-)

great addition.

too bad loki got away but oh well.

Loki is always one step ahead (as he runs away) ;-)

Huge chapter.

Yes, 'fixing' Cmdr Sharp was funny as ****. Poor Janet. Although she already thinks he's better than her first. Optimist?

Great battle.

I can't blame McCay for being attracted to brainy women.

After the light show, Earth should kick production into high gear.

Enjoyed it.

He was un-fixed really :-p

Happy New Year right back at you. Janet is with child? And Sharp is the poor kid's father? Their uber-spawn is either going to save the universe or collapse the whole shebang into a little tiny black hole. I just hope it is a girl because Sharp so needs the additional aggravation. Lol! Once again, that was one great battle scene. You do those suckers really, really well. And the humor in this update was up to you usual standards. That is a compliment, by the way. Thanks for one of the best crossover adventures I've ever read. I can't wait for more.

Just in passing, your Fallout story is pretty darn good too. I continue to enjoy your combination of stomach churning adventure and low comedy. But it is coming out sooooo slowly. Lol!

New California Dreaming is one I just dabble in occasionally... usually after I've been playing Fallout 3 :-p

Awesome story keep it up.

I'll try :-)

This has been another absolutely amazing story and I'm highly anticipating the next story. So please don't make us with to long. :-D

Wasn't too long was it? :-p

I've loved this story for over a year now, and I'm sad to see it go, but I'm also happy that it's continuing on in another story!

I was reading through the fight, and I was just a little disappointed that they never repeated the hyperjump nuke trick that they did earlier in SG1. They took a 302, stuck the prototype hyperspace generator that they'd built before they figured out they needed a capacitor on the thing to even out power flow, and they jumped in next to a mothership. I was hoping X-COM had taken that and built a single fire missile with that principle, since a missile that detonates INSIDE of a shield would be invaluable, and since it's got a naquadria power source, that should amp up the explosive power on it's own. This just seemed like the perfect time to fire that sort of warhead, what with the does of Ha'tak with all their open space to target!

Actually, thinking about the Ha'tak made me remember something, I watched the Stargate movie recently and I realized that Ra's mothership was NOT a Ha'tak, it was just pyramidal in shape but could shift it's outer hull in some way. Similarly, his Death Gliders had retractable wings, which would enable them to fit through a stargate if retracted! I know a bunch of Movie Continuity is ignored in SG1, but there's some interesting material there for an industrious Stargate writer like yourself to go back to.

I tend to think of it as Ra's yacht :-p

Avidly looked forward to each new chapter, will admit to skimming instead of reading on occasion but still kept me coming back for more, I'll be keeping an eye out for the next installement and hope you have a great new years (it's only 10hrs away for us in Australia)

Even skimming that's a lot of words! Glad to hear I kept you interested. :-)
