Awww, I really enjoyed both the story and the art! :) I especially love the alien-ness of it -- how it's not just another planet with Vancouver trees. And what a very cool (and creepy) concept for ZPMs; I love how Rodney didn't even really have to think before making his decision. He really has come a long way! And the general response of everyone else on Atlantis to Rodney's matter-of-fact comments about phoenix eggs and so forth made me LOL. :D
