It had been something of a long day, Miles admitted to himself as he picked up a change of clothes from his dresser and headed for Radek's quarters on something approaching auto-pilot.

The ZPM test results had been disappointing.  The ZPM, after all the trouble they'd gone to getting it, had only enough power to provide the city's shield for a few minutes.  After that, Atlantis would be vulnerable to attack all over again.  After sending an email to Elizabeth with the results, Radek returned to his room, hoping if they did go ( Read more... )
