Great Job.

I love the way Cadmans not going to spill the beans to everyone, and that Oh Boy at the end is just classic Sam.

Thanks! And as to spilling the beans... well, I was delighted when we got to see in Critical Mass that Cadman's far more than just a pretty face. After hallucinogenic mist and alien body-snatchers, she's definitely not going to do a tell-all just because some guy *claims* to be superior officer.

Very, Very neat, Great job.

Thanks for the kind words.

Yes! Oh, yes, yes, yes, this is wonderful, I love Quantum Leap crossover fic and this was done absolutely beautifully. I think I've always been much more interested with the poor soul stuck talking with Al in the waiting room than I ever was with anything Sam did - sure, Sam's got all the adventure, but I always wanted to know how people were reacting. And to have Cadman just not tell! And be an ideal Atlantis/Daedalus-person, just very cool with everything but also very adamant about not telling, because these people must be trained to expect people to try to forcibly extract information from their heads, like has happened to most of the characters so far. And awesome Al reactions ( ... )

Wow, thank you for this great feedback! I think the waiting room has awesome storytelling potential. I was tempted to put McKay there, just for the spectacle of having Al have to stop him from taking Ziggy apart.

I'm really glad to hear that you thought the voices were on target. It was my first time writing in either fandom, and it's so easy to get that kind of thing wrong. Especially when one is a show you haven't seen in a dozen years.

The only other Quantum Leap crossover I have read is Legion's massive Storm Series, which is a crossover with the Sentinel. Do you have others you could recommend?

Heee!

Oh, I love Cadman's response. Just perfect.

Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

This was lovely, though I'd love to see more, too.
