The Truth Was

The truth was, John wasn’t mad at Rodney, not really.

When Rodney got started on a project, he got fixated, and John should have known that. He should have known that he’d finally find one that he just couldn’t let go of, that would override even Rodney’s well-honed sense of self-preservation.

But John hadn’t known how easily Rodney would be able to get him to go along.

So, yes, John was angry about Arcturus, about blowing up five-sixths of a solar system, about losing the one real potential weapon they’d found against the Wraith.

The truth was, it wasn’t Rodney he didn’t trust, after that.

It was himself.
