Apologies for the delay - I've been recovering from a weekend of laser tag - and that included, ironically, roleplaying in a Stargate/Stargate Atlantis game!! I was most amused when I played an ascended ancient and proceeded to freak my fellow payers out...
Well, here's my post... and LadyValmar would like to know if she can play Teyla, who I seem to be roleplaying right now... but I think it would be most fab and cool if she would!! :) That OK with everyone?
I hope this posts OK - LJ seems to have gone a bit weird on me...
Rodney McKay was sure that his pulse was through the roof as Omega snuggled next to him, an arm draped most welcomingly across the scientist’s back. Rodney wanted to smack the smirk off of Sheppard’s face and also wanted to know what the hell he was doing with the lifesigns detector in his hand as it looked potentially dangerous.
“Sheppard… I wouldn’t.”
“Wouldn’t what?”
“You want to use your powers to boost the signal on that thing but if it blows up in your face… well, Carson Beckett’s a long way away and our ship is broken.”
“Quit stressing. I’ll be fine.”
Sheppard concentrated on the device and hoped like hell Rodney would be proved wrong. He envisaged his upping the wattage on the device just a little bit and could feel it growing warm in his hands. Easing off a bit he maintained the flow and wished he was piloting a jet or something - anything that wasn’t electronic and not at all aerodynamic.
“Sheppard, please don’t kill yourself. We need you to fly the ship - when it eventually gets airborne…”
“I’m fine…” Sheppard said and grinned to himself. “Hmmm… life forms - Weevers, Wraith and human. And… a few others… and…” Sheppard smiled. “A ZPM we missed back at that cave…”
“The cave? The one Lt Ford filmed you having sex in?” Rodney quipped.
“Rodney, shut up.” Sheppard said, blushing more for S’qorn than himself.
“There’s a ZPM in the -“
“Cave of sex.” Lt Ford said.
“I thought I told you never to name anything.” Sheppard said his face a bright red by now. “Cave of sex…”
“I happen to think it is a most appropriate name.” Rodney smirked, finding Omega’s hand, taking hold of it and trying to think straight as his feelings for the half Wraith were seriously preventing him from thinking clearly.
“So, team… here’s the question… do we leave the ZPM in the cave until later… or now that we know there’s a ZPM here, press on and find where the third one is lurking?” Sheppard asked. “I’d scan for it but this thing only has a short range - although I boosted it a fair bit…”
“And didn’t fry the circuits. Or yourself.”
“Yes Rodney.” Sheppard said, trying to ignore how loved up Rodney looked, but also feeling that it was about time…
