Briefing room
"As you requested we found this planet in the data base PX542-898, it's recorded that the Ancients found them good trading partners," said McKay.
"Thank you Rodney," exclaimed Elizabeth "Our rations are low and we need a new trade agreement, did they trade anything else with the Ancients that could be of interest?"
Rodney looked bemused "No, they are primitive; the Ancients would offer them limited protection in exchange for supplies."
"Well we can try and aid them if the time arises," said Elizabeth. Rodney had finished his coffee and was looking sadly into his cup.
"Do we really need the supplies Elizabeth," said Radek. "The Daedalus will be back within the week?"
"Yes, the Daedalus will be back, but the SGC wants us to find trading partners so it is not required to do as many runs, and so it can be on hand to protect Earth from potential Ori attack" Elisabeth stated. Meanwhile, Rodney started to fidget.
John looked up from where he was doodling on his pad. "Do they have turkey?" John said looking smugly at Rodney.
"What?" Rodney snapped "Are you serious?"
"Well yeah Rodney if the Daedalus is making fewer trips, I want to know if they have turkey."
"I don't know! Zelenka?" said McKay looking vaguely in his direction
Zelenka scrolled through his tablet, lifted up his head and pushed his glasses back on to his nose "Erm, yes, turkey like if it's the same as what it states here."
"Oh god," McKay said clicking his fingers. "Do they have coffee?"
Zelenka looked down at the tablet and then grinned, "Yes Rodney."
"Well I will be off then," said Rodney
"Sit down McKay," said John pointing at Rodney's empty chair. "We have a mission to prepare for."
"But why do you need me, there is going to be no useful technology there, they are primitive! My time would be best served here!" said Rodney pointing at the ground.
"No Rodney you don't know that for certain, a lot could have changed since the Ancients where last there, history has shown us they didn't know everything" said John glaring at Rodney. "Besides you're a member of my team."
"Probably not," Rodney muttered looking more into his cup tilting it from side to side.
"Look Rodney, you're going, get over it!" said John
"Well that's settled then. You move out at 09:00 tomorrow," Elizabeth said grinning at Rodney
"But?" Rodney said
The others got up and left the room followed by Radek who was grinning wildly as he didn't have to go. Rodney scowled at Radek who then turned tail picked up his tablet and darted out the room.
Rodney stood there for a brief moment and thought. He couldn't remember for the life of him what he was going to do, then his eyes glanced down to the mug swaying in his hands. Oh yes, he thought. Coffee!
