Um... Not that I didn't like the story--I did!--but... "Ester" is a chemical term for a particular chemical grouping, and "Esther" is a name for a female (most commonly known for Queen Esther in the Bible). I know because my mother's name is Esther and people are forever calling her by the chemical term.

I really did like the Star Wars references--though I didn't quite get it 'till the second Star Wars reference. And also the relationship between Teyla and 'Ester', and also the fact that you told the whole story solely from Teyla's point of view (which sometimes authors tend to slip out of so they can explain more). I think you did well.

Okay. Done now. :)
