SUMMARY: With the Wraith decimated and restricted to another dimension by their own desperate folly - living on planets populated (oh, the irony) by cattle - Atlantis can finally become a peaceful city state welcoming all open-minded residents of Pegasus and even the Milky Way. If only there weren't the current problem of managing power output and sustaining a larger population when the scientists (more than just Rodney claiming to be the alpha and omega of all scientists in any galaxy) still haven't figured out how to build or recharge ZedPMs. The problem keeps Radek Zelenka preoccupied during the day and awake most nights. While Rodney and "the Colonel" are always hunting for Ancient tech, he is alone (or so he thinks) in his lab wondering what it is he isn't seeing. He's about to find out.

NOTES ON ARTWORK: Inspired by the stunning multi-panelled artwork "I Hear You Now" created for the 2018 SGA Reversebang by Selenic. Amazingly enough, this was the first year I found TWO artworks and was thrilled to be able to interpret the fabulous art provided. I had never participated before; either I was too late in claiming or nothing spoke to me.

Even more surprising was the fact that I'd already decided I wanted to write about Radek Zelenka and found art that featured him in a prominent role on Atlantis as well as alluding to the Tao of Rodney episode. Further exchanges of information with the artist concluded that we were so on the same page.

Well, that was the easy part. The hard part was finding all the right words. These are only some words, so I prefer to think of the story as twelve video clips during one remarkable year of Radek's life on Atlantis.

TITLE: "The Blue Forest"

AUTHOR: helenkacan / Helena K.

ARTIST: pattrose1 / Patt R.

CHARACTERS: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex

GENRE: Horror Story, Wraith History, Character Study

SUMMARY: Just when John thinks things are back to normal - Pegasus normal - and the Team has some free time in which to search for Ancient tech that naturally includes those elusive ZPMs (he can hear Rodney screeching, "ZedPMs! They're called ZedPMs, you linguistic mutilator!" in his head), they encounter something unexpected … a place so unspeakable, knowledge of its existence and purpose had been buried in Teyla's subconscious for years.

They're all about to experience the grotesque "nature" of how Wraith merged biology and botany.

NOTES ON ARTWORK: Inspired by the artwork "The Blue Forest" created for the 2018 SGA Reversebang by PattRose. Amazingly enough, this was the first year I found TWO artworks and was thrilled to be able to interpret the fabulous art provided. I had never participated before; either I was too late in claiming or nothing spoke to me.

I was even more delighted when PattRose created a book cover for me, giving me a choice of three different fonts. Who knew that I would instinctively choose "Pegasus"! I am a very happy camper with this together-but-apart collaboration.
