What if …
The Atlantean crew had a chatroom?
"So, let's see who online."
Elizabeth was tired and sore, and longed for nothing but a hot bath and some chocolate before finally collapsing onto her bed, but she still had to check on the chatroom.
At first it had only been a private geek chat, a place for trekkies and people how were to shy to talk face to face to their science peers. But sooner or later the smarter of the military found out about the semi-internet fun, and joined in, messing up the connection and servers.

Five days later…
Lorne was not surprised when the hot water in his quarters failed. Nor did he flinch when his laundry returned pink. But when he logged in the chatroom and found his nick changed to SugarPie, he couldn't help but curse.
