*makes sure he's had all reports in order one last time and waits nervously in case he's called to see the General*

*on his little tour of the city, has to stop in at the Infirmary*

Doc, still looking... female.

Aye, sir... *doesn't really seem to pay much attention to it anymore actually*

Did you get the doctor's note I sent via e-mail. *smiles shyly*

Still have figured out the reverse switch huh? Anyone else get flipped in the meantime?

I did. Nice touch.

Zelenka is still, working on it. Shouldn't be too much longer. But no. *shakes his head* Fortunatly no one else has been... er, flipped. So that's good.

How are you finding Atlantis otherwise, sir?

That's good. I had images of finding Teal'c or Carter the other way around.

It's a nice city, doc.

I dunna think it would effect anyone unless they had the ATA gene.... uh, perhaps you better keep away from this particular device, sir.

It is, isn't it! I hope you get a chance to see things from some of the upper decks. Or go fishing on the mainland. I'd highly recommend that.

Yes, let's keep the gender swapping device far, far away from me. Please.

Fishing you say? Well, I could work in a trip to the mainland in my visit. I'm sure I should see how that settlement's doing.

It might be safer just to stay away from Zelenka's lab altogether, in that case.

It's always a good idea to improve relations between people with a friendly visit. *smiles warmly* I could even loan you one of my fishing poles if you'd like.

Right, staying far, far, away.

You fish, doc?

Oh, aye. Whenever I get the chance. Although that's a little too infrequant for my taste, it just makes the rare chances I get all the better.

Well, if you're not busy perhaps you'd like to join me. I'm not sure who else around this place I could talk into it. Probably Carter and Teal'c though he doesn't like the bugs.

Sure, there's nothing pressing my time until we leave to get Rodney, or unless Zelenka has a break through with the device, but at least this will keep my mind off things. *nods* I'll go get the equipment, meet you at the puddlejumpers?

*rubs his hands together* I'm driving.

*chuckles* By all means. I certainly dunna want to stand between you and flying. *heads off to get his fishing equipment*

*stuffs his hands in his pockets, rocking back and forth on his heels with a small grin while he waits*

*meets back up with the General, with everything they'll need* There are some of these wee critter bugs down there that make great bait. *matches the grin*

Excellent. Lead on, doc.

*shows the way to the puddle jumpers and picks one out for the General to pilot, stashes his stuff in the back and takes the co-pilot seat* ...do you know how to opperate one of these, sir?

Oh, you betcha. *takes the pilot seat and looks around the controls before grabbing them and powering up the puddlejumper* See? Now that hard.

Well it's all yours now sir. *grins and leans back, happy to let someone else fly this thing*

Well, hey there, General. Fancy meeting you here...

Well, those left turns at Albuquerque are tricky, Colonel.

*grins* I've heard as much.

So, where do we start?

Business first. What's the status on Dr. McKay?

McKay is.. not here as you could tell by the deafening silence..

We have his location secured and reason to believe he's alive.. so that's good..

I thought he might be sedated. Or gagged.

And you're just waiting for clearance to go in and snatch him back?

*shrugs* Pretty much,`yeah.

So, other news you need to share with me?

Um... no? Zelenka's working on this whole.. gender.. mess, but he'll probably need McKay so, there's that. You'll be getting Teal'c back when we grab the scientist..

How's everything at the SGC?

I'm sure Teal'c can handle himself. If he wanted out, you guys couldn't keep him around. He's a Jaffa that way.

Oh, same as always. Very busy but no major intergalactic threats right now.

Well, I'm glad to have him around. He's a useful Jaffa that way.

God, don't jinx us, sir, but yes, it's looking that way.

I've always thought so.

Me? *completely innocent expression* I said nothing.

*smiles* I didn't think so.

So... how are you spending your stay here in the city? *eyebrow raise*

*matching eyebrow raise*

Spending it? I'm getting the five cent tour, going fishing on the mainland and having dinner with Carter and Teal'c. Why?

No reason, really. Fishing, huh? Maybe Teyla and I could get some surfing in before the mission...

You don't fish? You should. Fishing is great.
