A/N: I really have to thank inkscribe who lend me the laptop on which this was typed and mice1900 who did a wonderful job with the beta (and any mistakes you find are mine...). You guys sooo rock! *hugs both* Okay, this is um, long, but really, it is a vignette. Somehow. And yeah, I did it. Fulfilling part of my new year's resolutions. *squees*

Hysteresis - Greek, 'deficiency' or 'lagging behind'; delayed reaction to a stimulus that has been removed; ~ is well known in ferromagnetic materials. When an external magnetic field is applied to a ferromagnet, the atomic dipoles align themselves with the external field. Even when the external field is removed, part of the alignment will be retained: the material has become magnetized.; see also Hysteresivity, the tendency to react slowly to an outside force or to not return completely to the original state: Source: Wikipedia]

Rodney never really understood why his friend left Atlantis.
