Hi.. everybody. My name is John. Lt. Colonel Sheppard, but John is fine. If any of you have heard of The Lost City of Atlantis.. well. me and my colleague Dr. Rodney McKay have come all the way from it to help you with your zombie problem. Lucky you...

So, what's the haps?

I didn't know you were from Atlantis, Colonel. That's very exciting. And your colleague has joined you now?

But as for 'the haps', I'd like to challenge you to a game of ping pong.

[colonelinblack]

He got stuck with me, yeah. Poor Rodney. [ sighs, though he's quickly grinning at her next statement ]

Who would I be not to rise to a challenge like that? And from such an opponent.

[alwayswatched]

Such an opponent? [she repeats back, laughing.] I'm afraid I won't be much competition, but that won't stop me from trying.

Do you think Dr. McKay would be interested in joining us?

[colonelinblack]

No? We'll just have to see about that, won't we? I won't go easy on you either.

Rodney? Nah. Sports aren't really his thing.

[alwayswatched]

I would hardly expect someone of your stature to.

They aren't mine either, but one must begin sometime.

[colonelinblack]

My stature? [his turn to laugh]

Any time is an excellent time to learn .. sports.

[alwayswatched]

It's not every day I meet a Lieutenant Colonel. I could make a bad joke about the military being a dying breed around here, but I fear that would be too morbid.

[wryly,] I'm sure I didn't hear a pause there. Just sports.

[colonelinblack]

That was a bit morbid, even for you.

Of course it was just sports. What else would it be? Meet me in the games room, O'1400.

[alwayswatched]

Are you implying that I'm ordinarily morbid?

I haven't the slightest. Two o'clock. Got it.
