Sheppard shrugged. "How come we seem to pass through everything except the floor?"

Ha! I'd always wondered about that. This was a lot of fun, and I like that John and Rodney saved the day but didn't magically solve their own problem, too.

Hee, I admire John's unusual approach to solving problems. :D

*hopes that the blowing the alien spaceships up didn't start another war*

Is it weird that the aliens reminded me of the Vogons? And poor Rodney - so many people to yell and at and no one can hear him... Thanks for sharing!

This was cute. There needs to be more stories with unknown aliens showing up shouting SURRENDER THIS PLANET!

I've found out why they're here," Rodney said, gasping both from the exertion of connecting with the computer and what Sheppard was doing to him.

LOL! Thanks for the story.

This was fun! I enjoyed the sparkling equipment quite a bit. I fear, however, that the secret epilogue is that they are dead...maybe half Ascended or something?
