Summary: Major Lorne lost most of his team when Michael's compound collapsed on top of them. Now he is assembling a new team.
Do we or don't we?
"So, do we or don't we?" Meyers asked. He sat on a locker room bench, pulling his socks on.
"Join the major's team, you mean?" Fredericks' reply was muffled by the shirt he was dragging over his head.
Showered and winding down from a 5-klick run, the two marines were calling it a day. Which only left the not-so-little matter of having to give Major Lorne an answer.
"Yeah," Meyers responded. "I mean what are we letting ourselves in for, if we tell him yes?"
"Lorne's okay, even for a zoomie."
"True, he's a fair guy," Meyers admitted. "And we'd get out of Atlantis," he added wistfully. So far, most of their time in the Pegasus Galaxy had been spent standing guard.
"What's the down side?" Fredericks dropped down next to Meyers.
"Hunh…." Meyers pursed his lips. "Considering the mission reports of the past four years, we might get shot, kidnapped, tortured, sucked dry by a wraith, …"
"…wined, dined and stoned out of our heads," Fredericks continued - smirking. "Probably get laid, too." They'd heard the stories.
"Nothing that wouldn't happen back home on any freakin' Friday anyway, right?" Meyers recapped.
"Right."
"So, what do we tell the major?"
Fredericks grinned. "Let's go see what the Pegasus Galaxy has to offer."
... and so it begins... ;)
