Now that they were assembled, John lead his little adventuring party to the nearest transporter, and once they were all crammed inside he fiddled with the control menu to choose a destination on the south side of the city's central district. That area was still in low-power mode, so they ended up still a fair distance from where they needed to be ( Read more... )

John sat at one of the rear console of the control room while he waited for the rest of his little search team. Now that they were more or less back at full staff and had gotten the most essential areas of the city checked out, he was going to try to hunt down that final unknown person on the sensors. He'd shot off emails to science, asking for a ( Read more... )

Up in the jumper bay, John arrived and headed for the closest jumper. They really needed to find someplace else with the detectors so they didn't have to run up here every time they needed on. He slipped the device into his pocket and pulled his sidearm to check it just as Bates emerged from the transporter.

Ben Collins headed for the infirmary, with his gift in his hands. It hadn't taken much persuading to get the head chef to make it, though he'd had to substitute basic ingredients with what was on hand.

After making his rounds (and escaping from the infirmary), John headed down to the level with the chair room. It didn't even take him a minute to find the room itself. He knew better than to actually sit down or even touch the thing until the scientists all arrived, after the lecture from Weir the previous night, so instead he just circled around ( Read more... )

Ben Collins walked into Science Lab 1, still pondering Dr. McKay's instructions. A part of his mind was mulling over the explosion and the investigation into its cause. Water in a conduit seemed the most likely explanation. Whatever the cause, it was likely more important now to fix the console and get power back on in the inhabited sections of ( Read more... )

Ollie blinked slowly, wincing slightly at the lights that bathed her in bright white. She was a bit nauseated, with a slight headache and from these symptoms alone she knew what had happened to her. She must have had a reaction to something. She coughed lightly, clearing her throat and shifting to a more comfortable position, deciding to look ( Read more... )

Rodney had just been drifting off to sleep after he had a few bites of the meal Carson had... firmly suggested him to eat ( Read more... )

Rodney surfaced from sleep some hours after Elizabeth's visit. For a while he lay in silence, eyes still closed and listening to the quiet sounds in the infirmary, of conversations going on. His head was killing him, a steady throbbing pain, and he tried to focus on something else.

( His thoughts went back to the conversation with Elizabeth. )

Benjamin Collins had tried to sleep. Flat on his back on the bed, staring up at the not-patterns on the ceiling and completely failing to fall under. Wasn't going to happen. Insomnia had been too common in his life, he knew when it was pointless to keep trying.
