Why This Must Be Read: I won't spoil the plot by saying more than it's time for the team to go on one of those usually doomed and nearly deadly missions try out another cursedly vague entry in the Ancient database about a possible ZPM. This story is just marvelous and utterly fitting for the Secret Santa recipient it was written for, the acclaimed Tielan. Teyla's POV is perfectly in character in The Truth About Alliances and her wry wisdom rings true.
If you were too slammed during the holidays to read much, I can't urge you enough to check out this can't-miss story, one of the many such fantastic works to come out of the SGA_Santa community (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_santa/) this year. The team interactions and characterizations are subtle and achingly right. The author must be saluted for imagining and executing such a lovely and completely original concept that takes an interesting and thought-provoking sociological look at Pegasus.
My only complaint is I want more. Sequel please?
A snippet to whet your appetite...
MTR-572 did not, at first glance, appear any more dangerous than any other planet in the Pegasus Galaxy. In many ways it reminded Teyla of Athos, and she breathed in the aromas of her childhood, a smiling tilting at her lips. The krithis trees were in bloom, their scent perfuming the air around the Ring. Ronon continued to look alert, his eyes scanning the surrounding area.
"McKay, getting anything?" John asked tersely.
"Give me a minute. This can take time, even if I am a genius," Rodney muttered.
John exchanged a look with Teyla, full of tolerance and just a bit of worry. She could understand.
"This way," Rodney suddenly announced, pointing toward the west. "Energy readings... looks Ancient!" he crowed while heading out. Ronon took a few long strides to overtake him, keeping Rodney behind him. John and Teyla followed a short distance behind the other two.
"Your people know anything about this planet?" John asked her quietly.
"I did not have a chance to ask before we left. I do not remember any warnings from my childhood though," she told him. She shrugged. "We can only hope that Rodney's quest does not end as so many of the others have. Jennifer did ask that we try not to run into any danger."
"Well, that's helpful."
