Scene Three: Act Four
Sedge started pacing the room she and Teyla were in. "When will I be allowed to walk around the city?"
"Slight problem with that," answered Teyla as she sat on the middle of her bed, "technically your not supposed to be here; in this form, so if anyone finds out you could get Doctor McKay in trouble."
"This isn't fair. It's the first time I get to experience what it's like to be human and I can't even leave this room."
"I can go and get you some of the food we eat if you like? That should be an experience for you."
"It will be a start."
Teyla jumped off the bed. "Okay, if you promise not to leave this room, I'll go and fetch something from the cafeteria."
Sedge half nodded, having no intention of staying in the room.
Teyla returned the nod and left.
Sedge waited a few minutes giving Teyla a head start before opening the door." She smiled mischievously before making her way down the corridor discreetly.

Radek arrived on P5X 899, and Doctor Weir greeted him and his team on arrival. "How did you get on?"
Elizabeth walked up to him and excitedly showed him the small weird object she held in her hands. "One of many items I've been able to acquire. You'll love it, so many different artefacts. All have one purpose or another." She took his hand. "Come on I'll show you the cave they are hidden in."
Zelenka's team followed Elizabeth to the entrance of the cave. One of the town's people was waiting for them. "Doctor Weir, can I ask you something before we go in."
Elizabeth stopped and faced him. "Don't tell me your claustrophobic too?"
Radek couldn't help but provide a smug look, now knowing why she asked him to come instead of McKay. "No, it's not that. I need to ask you something."
"Go ahead."
"Remember that object you brought back from your first visit to this place?"
"How can I forget, why has Rodney got it working?"
Radek scratched his head. "He can't read what the symbols mean on the sphere, it's driving him up the wall."
"Well if hasn't caused any problem, I'm sure it can wait till I get back." She tugged him forward again and stopped when he didn't comply. His face gave away that guilty look. "It hasn't caused a problem has it?" She asked giving him her death glare.
He looked down at his feet. 'So much for being discreet,' he thought to himself. He nodded to her question.
She rolled her eyes. "What happened?"
"I can't say McKay will kill me. I was just hoping to show you the symbols in order to find out what the device is."
"Have you got them written down?"
Radek nodded and showed her the piece of paper. "He knows the first symbol means object, it's on most of the other artefacts you bought back last time."
"Object of desire." She looked at him, "desire-meaning wish."
He was surprised at how quick she told him.
She handed him back the paper. "Tell me. Did someone make the wrong wish?" She half joked.
He couldn't lie so he half nodded his head as he stuffed the paper back in his pocket. "Something like that."
