John followed the sound of Ms. Pacman to find his team. He was unsurprised to find Lorne and his team in the makeshift games room as well. Dave had come through on his promised vintage video game. Not only a Pacman console now graced the entertainment area but the popular Ms. Pacman and Super Mario Brothers as well. He’d promised to find a few others to send on the next Daedalus run.
“Sheppard! Tell Lorne to get his own games! He’s hogging this one and I’m close to beating your score!” Rodney had never learned to share…even when he would be sharing something technically John’s.
“Play nice, Rodney.” John crossed the room to see the listed names of the high scorers. Rodney’s was comfortably down from John’s. He hadn’t lost his touch! He’d have to see about getting Dave out to Atlantis and rehash their childhood wars.
Thank you for the nice words. I'm glad you enjoyed the story...and perhaps the little excerps included in the comments!
The idea of sharing Atlantis with Dave was a surprising thrill for John. They’d discovered that Dave had the ATA gene as well, though not as strong as John. That would make his brother’s interaction with the city all the more exciting.
And the fact that John was still high score on all the games would make the visit even sweeter.
