Chapter 134 - Asgard Meetings
It hadn’t taken long for Thor to go over the various files, after which General O’Neill had escorted the pair of them to the IOA meeting room where the entire leadership council had already been gathered in wait.
Briefly glancing between Eventus and the IOA representatives, Thor at last gave a grudging nod. “Despite my misgivings about some of the...

As much as Eventus wanted to head back to the SGC and look over the results of Rayla's random encounter. His meeting with Thor and then their joint meeting with IOA took priority given he was hoping to secure the Asgard’s help in dealing with a number of other ticking time bombs.

It had been a shame that a diplomatic emergency of some kind had dragged Xiaoyi away from the last night of their vacation. But Eventus had already imposed himself on the Chinese government enough that he wasn't going to overly begrudge them a sudden need for her expertise with something.

Having to bow out of their last night together was more than a little unfortunate, but Xiaoyi had gotten a good enough read on Eventus at this point to know that he was the type who wouldn't expect more than she directly offered.

Atlantis’s original location on Lantea had been within a bay towards the more tropical end of the planet's sole continent. That had been for a handful of practical reasons, and a whole bunch of recreational ones.

Over four hundred years of cleaning up his people’s various messes had led Eventus to one, very possibly inevitable, conclusion. His people were flawed on several fundamental levels.
