"Fuck! Doc!" Lorne sprinted after him, amazed at how Parrish tripped and stumbled when an enemy was chasing them, but apparently when plants were involved he was a star track runner.
"Look at the beautiful rosettes!" Parrish sighed as stopped in front of the wall of cactus'.
"All I see are 3 foot thorns that will impale you. Stop. Don't. Get. Any. Closer. To. Them. Doctor."
"B-But, the fact that this plant is nearly exactly like the Aeonium found on Earth.." Lorne tuned out Parrish's botany-babble.
"I could blow them up, sir." said Cadman, apparently she followed Lorne in his desperate sprint to save the poor doctor from himself.
"No Laura. You want those thorns airborne?" shreaked Lorne, amazed at the team Colonel Sheppard had picked for him.
"W-WHAT?! YOU ARE NOT BLOWING UP SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CREATION OF NATURE!" Parrish screamed as he made a run for Cadman.

"Chuck? Why is Major Lorne's team coming in so early?" asked Elizabeth.
"Sgt. Stackhouse said somthing about man-eating cactus.." said Chuck in awe as he watched Lorne step through the gate holding a sobbing Dr. Parrish in one arm. Stackhouse was holding Cadman as she tried to swing a four foot thorn at Perrish's head.
