Author's Summary:
Earth makes contact with Atlantis months after an out-of-control medical experiment destroyed their humanity. They get a little more than they bargained for when they meet the Tatsu.
Why This Must Be Read:
This story was originally written for a Rough Trade challenge. The fact that it's on the Wild Hare site and not her personal site means that Keira hasn't edited it and there's a note that it may never be edited. So there's a 'what you see is what you get' warning to be aware of. But if you don't subscribe to Wild Hare, you may miss seeing this story again. (And if you're one of the three people in fandom that have never read Keira's work, she doesn't tolerate concrit or begging for more. So don't.)
Another Atlantis-focused fic, but Jack O'Neill has a major part in this story.
It's a story of xenophobia, greed, and the IOA being total asshats (as Keira would say!).
After an IOA-sanctioned experiment by Carson Beckett on John Sheppard, but without John's knowledge or permission, a mutated virus got loose on Atlantis. It changes all those that survive to something other than human.
It's an interesting story about what makes us human, and how greed for powerful weapons and super-soldiers can skew one's morals.
Jack represents the US in this morality play, and -- even among his team mates -- is the only one who truly understands that 'people' are 'people'.
The Asgard are also major players in this story and we don't find out why until the end (which I'm not going to spoil!).
And interesting story with all of the major Stargate players.
