Beta Read (as always) for Ch2:
In reality far "few" than three hundred
-should be "fewer"

I think I went with "less" on re-reading but thanks anyway.

The second half of the chapter felt a bit hurried... I think you're trying to get rid of the replicators but don't want to spend time on it. To be honest, I'd have rather skipped the whole thing and left them dead in the black hole.

Loved the idea of the Terran Empire though... IOA will go bonkers.

Terra forever :-p

Preemptive Recc.

Retaliatory review response :-p

Glad to see the new part going so fast. Looks like you're off to a good start.

A better cover up than i expected. Of course, that level of EMP would fry most civilian computers, phone systems, electrical systems including electrical transmission and generation....

Enjoyed it.

I reasoned after the Goa'uld Busters they've been hardening things against EMP a lot more than in our universe.

Nice start of the sequel.

By the way, you might wish to add a closing italic tag to the end of this chapter.

Thanks for the review :-)

A great start of the new book of the story.

I especially liked the part about how to mislead the public and the last scene of the chapter.

Glad you liked it :-)

I am a very happy reader to see another update to your tremendous series. But even with all the wonderful technobable, the marvelous battle scenes, and the terrific characterizations, it is your humor that pushing your series into the level of top ten best fanfics of all time, IMHO. When I read: ‘Hello’ the girl replied, starting to blush. ‘If you’re really Sharp of Canada that must be your Hockey Stick’ she said, pointing at the side-handled baton. ‘Can I have a look at it up close?’ she asked hopefully. I laughed so hard I had to stop reading because my eyes were full of tears. And even as I read more of you story, I still kept getting giggles attacks as I remembered the little girl's question.

Your cover-up of the Snakes' orbital attack was both logical, clever, and probable would work since nobody really trusts their governments any more. Sharp's line to the Snakes caused me to break out in giggles once again. Yes, I agree that any of the Civilization games is a great learning experience for a person wanting to learn how to intimidate a foreign enemy. And if your enemy won't be intimidated, you can always nuke their stupid little civilization back to the Stone Age. Perfect X-COM logic, no? I look forward to more of your excellent storytelling.

Edit: I have dyslexia and it took me more than five minutes of staring at the title of this new story to finally figure out what was bugging me about your new title. The play on words with confusing me with "Terror"/"Terra" caused me to waste five minutes out of life. Thanks a lot. Lol!

Sorry for costing you the five minutes :-p

Good stuff. Always glad to see new stuff to read :)

Thanks. :-)

Great new chapter but for some reason the scene with Sharp and Dr Lee had me expecting something was going to go wrong.

Sometimes things go right :-p

hehe, civ, that was a great game in it's time, and sharp doing his research on it, i could actually see him doing that. :D

great work mate hope to see more soon.

Civilization... the game that screwed up my first year at university :-p

Well thats a fun start!

Thanks :)

You're welcome :-)

Adding nanotechnology to the story would of course mess up /everything/, not least since SG-1 treats nanotech in an incredibly unrealistic way (It's magic! Only science!), but you might find this link interesting anyway (multi-page): http://www.mccarthy.cx/WorldSystem/

The conclusions are possibly incorrect, and certainly require more detailed analysis, but it's still a decent introduction.

Nanotech is too convenient by half ;-)

Woot... I didn't even read the chapter yet, I wanted to have the first review [I'll edit after reading] :) I can't believe how fast you started on the new story, I haven't even finished re-reading the previous one yet.

[Added] Ok, I've finished reading it... loved the cover-up idea. Did you read Jules Verne? It was claimed at some point that he was actually the pseudonym for a group of researchers, because he had the same habit of putting a lot of real-world information in his books... similar to what you're doing in yours (though he was more peace-oriented than you :P).

I am, as always, amazed at the quality, quantity and speed of your writing... thank you for that.

Oh, I forgot - I can't WAIT to see what you have prepared for the poor Wraith... and I'm almost sorry for the Ori too :P

The Ori deserve everything they get :-p

I am loving it. The cover up was done brilliantly. I would completely buy it and Sharp was awesome as usual. Can't wait to see if the Replicators are going to make another comeback!

The Replicators always come back :-p
