Heee... would you believe that I've only watched two episodes of ST:ENT, and that didn't include the one with Terra Prime? When I wrote AAtKM, I needed a terrorist organization for the plot, so I invented one, and called it Terra Prime, not even realizing that it already existed in canon. Here are my author's notes from AAtKM:
Terra Prime is a terrorist organization first seen in the series "Enterprise," in the episode entitled "Terra Prime." Please note that I've only seen a couple of episodes of "Enterprise." I hadn't seen that particular episode, and I had no idea that such an organization existed in canon. When I first wrote the fic, I had designed a terrorist organization for the purpose of the plot – a xenophobic group taken to terrorism to keep aliens away from Earth, and if possible, humans away from aliens. And I named the group Terra Prime. After I'd written the rough-draft, my test reader, Cedarrapidsgirl, who is an avid "Enterprise" fan sent me feedback, gushing about how awesome it was that I was including canon from "Enterprise." I had no idea what she was talking about. So I looked up Terra Prime, and realized that I'd replicated canon without even realizing it. So, it stayed as it is, and now I have to cite canon even though I came up with this shit myself. Irony, huh?
Either way, I was amused.
And I'm glad you're enjoying Pike here! He's an awesome character, and I want to do him justice. :D
