Summary: "Hey," John said, trying to lighten the tone a little. "The IOA are getting better," he said, reaching across the bed to flick the little Canadian flag on Rodney's jacket before nodding his head towards Ronon and Teyla.

"Yes, well, I suppose so," Rodney sniffed. "It's not as if they could do without me, anyway."

"Or indeed any of us," Teyla added with a smile.

"Well, I hope you all realise that our success is entirely down to the exceptional talent and expertise of your team leader," John said.

"Oh, yes, of course," Rodney replied sarcastically. "We'd be nothing without you."

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I love incorporating science into my plots, so I'm really pleased that it worked for you. I'm also glad to hear you enjoyed the emotional journey - I felt like I was really putting poor Rodney through an awful lot at times, but consoled myself with the knowledge that he'd be happy in the end! *g* Thank you so much for your lovely comment. cep xxx
