Deliverance: Act 1 - Review part 3
Date: 2009-07-02 08:17 pm (UTC)Who would that be? The ‘acquaintance’? Is that a reference to the EQ and her worshippers, or to Sheppard, and then perhaps to Teyla?
**
LOL @ Keller not wanting to sit on the bed when Todd is in the room, or at least she jumps up from it when he enters.

Interesting development, with the Hive Second. So he's someone who's recruiting people to go back to the old ways? What'll happen with all the other Wraith? They can go on killing each other and the small group of old Wraith stick to themselves in their own created paradise?
If the Second is doing it for his old Matriarch, kinda the mother of all Wraith, if I understand it correctly, or let's say the Mother of the Four, then she's still alive? If not, perhaps the mission is a bit redundant?
So, he passes between Elder Hives from time to time? Or am I getting that wrong? To get to know the Queens, and to seek out these differently thinking individuals? It would be interesting to see him approach Todd. I mean, it's not evident he'll seek out Michael, perhaps, since Michael's mind is set on something very different now. Their entire destruction. Unless that's going to change? But no, I still don't see him explaining to Teyla he's only going to destroy the ones that won't go back to the old w/days, and let the rest live in their separate location. And then it would be the intention of him joining them at a certain point, right? Not going to happen.
But I do perhaps think I know whom Michael is getting his help from. *g*

"A visual representation of DNA belonging to a Human woman, suffering the systemic failure associated with exposure to the Hoffan Protein, whom I was able to… save," he told her.
Ah, but do they know whom the blood is from, after all, AU!Todd had Alicia with him, or do they have no suspicion toward that at all?
"Wait," she said and pulled back her arm as he applied pressure to a place on her forearm. He looked up at her quizzically. She asked, "You have done this before, right?"
Lol, doctors are indeed the worst patients!
"Perhaps it would be beneficial if we were both to rest," he said, his voice light.
Aka: Keller, get out of the room so I can see if you and Alicia share something funky? :D
**
Hmm, what is Varny up to now? I don’t think he particularly cares about the people of the galaxy, and about the conflict, he’s just fishing if she’s left for Mikey’s yet… Since they don’t know he’s been captured.

the light scrape of his nails against the side of her neck as he used his other hand to sweep her hair aside, baring her neck.
Count Dracula has found his next victim, muahahaha.
*Finishes the beta*
Now, where’s my Wraith to rub my neck? Or rather my legs hurt a bit. Shall I drop my- Bed time.
Spikey

Date: 2009-07-10 06:21 pm (UTC)I don't know that the Hive Second is recruiting people to go back to the 'old ways' but he's certainly up to something, and is a lot older than he looks.
The Hive Second moves around, yes, but he's been with this Hive for a long time because the Queen is barking!
Keller has no idea the DNA Todd showed her was Alicia's no.
Yes, Doctors are a pain in the ass.
Varnerin? Oh, stirring trouble as usual.
