CHEVRON ONE

The scientist put head phones into his ears and plugged them into his laptop. Music filled his ears and he started to tap his foot to the rhythm of the song, while working on new calculations; those who were close enough could even hear the song playing.

Dr. Rodney McKay did not see the curious looks of the people around him. He just continued his work, oblivious to the commotion around him. It was not every day that chief science officer listened to music.

Dr. Zelenka stared, his mouth hanging wide open, and Dr. Kusanagi almost fainted when she heard her boss humming along with the song. The eyes of a few scientists almost left their sockets at the sight.

It appeared that the sound of Rodney humming pulled Radek from his reverie. Without a word he sprinted from the lab.
Something was wrong. Way wrong.

Between living in a galaxy far, far away (pun not intended) in a city built by an ancient race (a race which also built the Stargate network, and which happened to ascend to a higher plane of existence) and being at war with alien life-sucking vampires-well, a more accurate term would be "big bugs resembling life-sucking aliens-"Atlantis' international expedition had seen some pretty strange things. Things like two Atlantis leaders possessed by alien entities trying to kill each other, or two expedition members trapped in one body-not to mention countless other examples of living in a cosmic twilight zone. Every day, they were working with toys scientists still on earth could only dream of.

Nevertheless, the sight of one Dr. McKay listening to music and humming along with it was scarier than the news of two hive ships coming their way.

Radek burst into Dr. Elizabeth Weir's office while she was in the middle of a meeting with Lt. Col. Sheppard and Teyla Emmagan.

"It's. . . Rodney . . . he . . . he. . ." the Czech scientist stammered, trying to catch his breath.

"What happened?" asked Elizabeth. She exchanged confused glances with John and Teyla.

When Radek did catch his breath, he managed to say, "Something strange is happening to Rodney."
