Chapter Three
As he walked towards one of the labs Rodney looked down at the small parcel he had picked up from his room. It was strange that he’d actually brought it to Atlantis with him, especially since they were allowed only have a limited amount of personal gear. However the decision was now going to pay off.
“Ah, Zelenska!” Rodney exclaimed as he walked into the lab and saw Dr Radek Zelenka sitting at one of the workstations.
“Zelenka! I am Czech, not Polish Rodney, as you know well.” Zelenka spoke in a patient voice.
“Not sure I know the difference” he said, then as he could see that Zelenka was about to tell him he finished with “or care!”
“Hmph!” Zelenka snorted. “You need more sleep and better manners”
“Actually I have a present for you Radek” Rodney smiled.
Zelenka looked up at him startled. “Now Rodney.” He cautioned. “You cannot do anything around this equipment, you could damage something.”
“What are you talking about Radek?” Rodney asked with an innocent look. “I have a little something for you in appreciation of all your hard work on this diagnostic.” He continued. “It has been a relief to me knowing that you can keep an eye on things when I am sleeping. I managed to get a few hours sleep and awoke refreshed this morning, thanks to you.”
Zelenka was looking positively alarmed “Ah, good. That is good.” He swallowed.
“Yep, so I thought you might like this” he placed the parcel on the table next to Radek’s laptop. ”Go on.” he urged, “open it now.”
“Yes, thank you Rodney” Zelenka replied as he carefully reached for the parcel in the manner of one who expects something very unpleasant.
Carefully opening the parcel a small piece at a time Zelenka was pleasantly surprised to find that it was an innocent t-shirt, olive green with stylised writing across the front.
“It is very nice Rodney, thank you.”
“It is my pleasure Radek. I thought you might like a genuine Canadian t-shirt. I am sorry it doesn’t have a maple leaf on it, but I hope you will wear it.” He looked so hopeful as he said it.
“Of course Rodney, I would be honoured.” Zelenka responded.
He could not figure out what had gone wrong with his little surprise for Rodney this morning, perhaps Rodney had disabled the alarm before going to bed. That could be the only reasonable scenario to explain McKay’s attitude this morning.
“Now that you are here Rodney, I must go and see Dr Weir” Zelenka stood up, carefully remembering to pick up his t-shirt.
“Okay.” Rodney responded absent-mindedly, already immersed in the work on his screen.
Zelenka recognised the signs and sighed with relief. Hopefully Rodney would become so absorbed in his work that he wouldn’t notice anything different going on around Atlantis today.
He left the room and headed for Dr Weir’s office near the gate room.
