(1:25:32 PM) Rodney: Tell me my city is still intact.
(1:25:42 PM) Radek: What?
(1:25:47 PM) Radek: it is.
(1:26:04 PM) Radek: why would you think otherwise, Rodney?
(1:26:45 PM) Rodney: Hmm. Let me think.
(1:26:47 PM) Rodney: I'm not there?
(1:26:58 PM) Radek: ...
(1:27:47 PM) Rodney: So no explosions? No assistants randomly turning things on that kill people?
(1:28:11 PM) Radek: Rodney. Nothing has happened.
(1:28:29 PM) Rodney: Well, it doesn't hurt to ask now, does it!
(1:28:47 PM) Radek: That's true.
(1:29:02 PM) Rodney: So. Nothing has happened. That's good news.
(1:29:42 PM) Radek: Yes it is. How are things back on Earth?
(1:30:03 PM) Rodney: Oh. Well. Earthy.
(1:30:28 PM) Radek: Earthy. Right.
(1:31:05 PM) Rodney: Yes! Earthy. It's...
(1:31:20 PM) Rodney: I shouldn't use the world alien when talking about my home planet...
(1:31:33 PM) Rodney: weird?
(1:31:53 PM) Radek: How is it weird? it's Earth.
(1:32:17 PM) Rodney: I KNOW that.
(1:32:55 PM) Rodney: But... buying things for example. It feels so weird to just give them your credit card. No endless trading discussions that might end up with yet another party shooting at you.
(1:32:59 PM) Rodney: No, no, just... buying.
(1:33:01 PM) Rodney: It's amazing.
(1:33:04 PM) Rodney: The simple things in life.
(1:33:11 PM) Radek: Hmm.
(1:34:31 PM) Rodney: And it's so crowded.
(1:34:41 PM) Rodney: I didn't realize it was so crowded.
(1:34:48 PM) Rodney: I mean, before Pegasus and all that.
(1:35:12 PM) Rodney: There we just fly over a planet, tracking down a handful of life signs.
(1:35:14 PM) Rodney: And here?
(1:35:26 PM) Radek: There are life signs every few feet.
(1:35:36 PM) Rodney: Exactly.
(1:36:40 PM) Rodney: And still it's
(1:37:06 PM) Rodney: kinda empty.
(1:37:22 PM) Radek: There are some places there that aren't so... populated.
(1:37:40 PM) Rodney: Yeah
(1:42:14 PM) Radek: I think I need to get away from the City as well.
(1:44:07 PM) Radek: Dealing with ...DNA-altering Ancient devices, power fluctuations and other things has been wearing on me lately.
(1:45:25 PM) Rodney: Oh hey, visit the kids!
(1:45:33 PM) Rodney: Lots of trees...
(1:46:07 PM) Radek: No, Rodney, I am not going back there.
(1:46:21 PM) Rodney: Aw, but I'm sure they MISS you, Radek.
(1:46:28 PM) Radek: ...
(1:46:34 PM) Radek: ...
(1:47:07 PM) Radek: I do not wish to be stuck there again.
(1:47:38 PM) Rodney: Note taken. Might also be taken into consideration, we'll see.
(1:47:59 PM) Radek: We'll see? what is that supposed to mean?
(1:48:41 PM) Rodney: We have no idea what other technical problems they could encounter. You wouldn't just leave them out there all on their own without proper defenses, would you?
(1:49:05 PM) Radek: No, I would never do that to them!
(1:49:58 PM) Radek: But my point of getting away from the city would be to calm myself down, not get worked up by a bunch of little...
(1:50:42 PM) Rodney: Come on, just say it. It will make you feel better.
(1:55:30 PM) Radek: No. Just no. I am not going back to M7G-677.
(1:59:32 PM) Rodney: We'll talk about that when I get back to Atlantis.
(1:59:58 PM) Radek: Right.
(2:00:06 PM) Rodney: So, what are you working on?
(2:01:23 PM) Radek: Nothing critical at the moment, just writing some reports I've been neglecting.
(2:01:46 PM) Rodney: About what?
(2:03:58 PM) Radek: They're just backlog, Rodney.
(2:04:17 PM) Rodney: Oh. Okay.
(2:04:38 PM) Radek: I should have them done by the time you get back here.
(2:05:00 PM) Rodney: Alright.
(2:07:20 PM) Radek: Do prdele. I should have slept last night instead of drinking coffee and writing reports.
(2:07:38 PM) Rodney: Uh...
(2:07:44 PM) Rodney: What am I supposed to do with that information?
(2:07:56 PM) Radek: I do not know.
(2:07:59 PM) Rodney: Pat you on the back? Poor, poor Radek?
(2:09:03 PM) Radek: Of course not. I should not have said anything.
(2:10:14 PM) Rodney: Alright, let's get serious. If you're tired go get some rest. I'm not around so I want you to be alert in whatever you're doing.
(2:10:41 PM) Radek: That is... very generous of you, Rodney.
(2:11:14 PM) Rodney: ...
(2:11:15 PM) Rodney: It's in the city's best interest, that's what it is.
(2:11:36 PM) Radek: Yes, yes, of course.
(2:11:39 PM) Rodney: Yes.
(2:11:41 PM) Rodney: Of course.
(2:11:57 PM) Rodney: What, you think I care if you drool on your keyboard again?
(2:11:59 PM) Rodney: Because I don't.
(2:12:18 PM) Radek: I do not drool on my...
(2:12:35 PM) Radek: Okay, that one time I did.
(2:12:49 PM) Rodney: Yes. Yes, you did.
(2:14:38 PM) Radek: I am never switching to decaf in the middle of a low-level crisis again.
(2:15:05 PM) Rodney: Why would you do that in the first place anyway?
(2:15:16 PM) Radek: ...
(2:15:48 PM) Radek: I think I was overreacting to the situation and blamed my jitters on the coffee.
(2:16:24 PM) Rodney: Radek... you never blame the coffee. The coffee is your FRIEND.
(2:16:47 PM) Radek: I know. I know.
(2:20:49 PM) Radek: I'll be right back.
(2:26:29 PM) Radek: back.
(2:26:46 PM) Rodney: Obviously.
(2:27:07 PM) Radek: yes.
(2:34:36 PM) Rodney: Send me something.
(2:34:41 PM) Rodney: Some calculations, I don't know.
(2:35:09 PM) Radek: You're missing Atlantis that much, you want me to send you calculations?
(2:35:59 PM) Rodney: I've been working with them nonstop for the last four years, I'm not used to not having any around.
(2:36:04 PM) Rodney: I'm also bored.
(2:36:15 PM) Radek: Okay.
(2:38:00 PM) Radek: Sent you the puddle jumper shield matrix algorithm
(2:38:22 PM) Rodney: Okay, that'll work.
(2:38:57 PM) Radek: How much longer until you're back?
(2:39:17 PM) Radek: Just want to know so I can line up more calculations to send you if you get bored enough there.
(2:40:01 PM) Rodney: Few days.
(2:40:20 PM) Radek: so about twenty programs then...
(2:41:24 PM) Rodney: That sounds good, yeah. I still have to visit places after all.
(2:47:28 PM) Radek: I'll have to look around for anything extra, but in an hour I should have about fifteen programs for you to look over.
(2:55:26 PM) Rodney: Okay.
