Chapter 23.5 - From Here To There



“She’s certainly big.” Major Lorne offered as he looked out across the hanger at the now restored form of the Enterprise.


“The design was originally used for long range exploration.” Eventus explained as he considered once again whether he should have repainted the vessel to a more appropriate color for its curren...

Chapter 27 - Many Many Mistakes



Having left Sheppard to deal with the fallout of their impromptu election, Eventus had been on track to fulfill his fervent desire of passing out for at least eight hours of uninterrupted rest. However fate once more seemed to other plans, as less than a dozen steps out of the transport booth near this apartment he'd run into the one of the f...

Weir, Caldwell, and Everett wanting to discuss things without him around was moderately understandable from a security perspective. Though Eventus didn't really have the heart to tell them that with the ZPM plugged in he could just bring up the internal sensors logs to review everything they said if he actually wished to do so.

“That's certainly a ship.” Eventus muttered in bemusement as he studied the mishmash of energy signatures the Daedalus was radiating.


There was the expected Ancient and Asgard of course, a number of things that he suspected were Goa’uld in origin, and a smattering of things that just came up as unknown. Which made him wonder ...

“Absolutely not.” Raine told the trio that was giving her a combination of hopeful and amused looks. “If you want someone to take care of a baby ask Jadzia, because she has a lot more experience with it than I do.”

“Okay.” Rain muttered in a strained breath as she and Keiko did their best to carry the bagged Tholian back to their hover car. “I'll admit, I may have underestimated just how heavy she was going to be.”

Before the cold war with the Wraith had gone hot, most of his people had just ended up doing what they enjoyed. It was a system that had worked without more than a few minor problems for millions of years, and probably would have kept doing so for millions more if it weren't for the Wraith.
