John, was in the engine area with Caldwell, they were bo thinking of ways to help Teyla return to her old self faster, so far they came up with nothing, they had frist thought of using one of the Daedalus' silent power generators, then they relized that there was no way to plug thre things into Atlantis power stations.

"Don't you just hate it when a plan comes back and bites you in the butt?" John asked Caldwell who nodded.

"Yup, I hate it when that happens." Caldwell said.

"I remember the last time it happened, I was statiioned at McMurdo and a plan went haywire and nobody thought it would work so they said not to use that plan."

"I'm going to get myself something to drink and see if Carson has an update ready, he's running a bit late." John said leaving the engine area to go to the eating area.

As he walked his radio went off, "This is Weir, come in"

"This is Sheppard"

"Carson wanted to give you an update, said things are improving but the going is slow."

"That's good to know, was wondering why he is over an hour late in reporting." John said. "Don't worry about it though, he should be reporting in soon, Sheppard out."

--------------------------------------------------------

Entering the eating area John saw that Radek was there, on a laptop computer he had set up on a table, looking up as John entered Radek said, "I think you should see this." He showed John the screen, which had the first test Carson had run the first time Teyla had been a Wraith..

"What exactly am I looking at?" John asked.

Radek took a deep breath then spoke, "I'm no M.D. but I'm just guessing here as well as repeating Carson." John nodded for Radek to go on. "You are looking at Teyla's D.N.A. before she was changed into a Wraith the first time, a normal human being from Earth has one D.N.A. chain right?" John nodded, Radek hit a few keys and Teyla's D.N.A. appeared on the screen. but instead of one D.N.A. chain the screen showed three. "This is Teyla's D.N.A. before she changed into a Wraith... now this," Radek hit a few more keys, "...is the Wraith D.N.A. along with Teyla's." the screen showed three more chains aappearing, this time brown and purple and not red and blue. "this is what happened though the first time, Carson sent this to me so I could find out a way to not only put a computer virius into the Hive Ship's but also into the Wraith themselves." Radek hit a few more keys and an animation started up. "This is how Teyla made the change, notice that Her D.N.A. is being what looks like eaten by the Wraith D.N.A." indeed Teyla's D.N.A. was changing from red and blue to brown and purple as if it was getting eaten.

"So...is there a way to turn this around, making the Wraith D.N.A. get eaten by Teyla's?" John asked.

Radek nodded, "Carson is working on it, though this caught my eye" Radek hit a key and the screen on the wall showed what the laptop did. "Speaking of which isn't he supposed to report every hour?"

"Yeah I was just going to call him and see what's up." John said.

The screen on the wall as well as on he laptop showed a small datastream start up and the laptop beeped and Carson's voice came over the radio. "This is Dr. Beckett calling Col Sheppard"

"This is Sheppard, what took you so long in reporting, its been over an hour?" John said.

"I know Col. I had to upload the latest test results for you. note the pulse and heart beat diff." Carson said as Radek hit a few keys to start up the new animation that Carson sent in the datastream.

"Sir, I think you should see this." Radek said, he looked up from the laptop to the screen on the wall, it showed Teyla's current D.N.A. compaired with the True Wraith D.N.A. and the false D.N.A. the true D.N.A. had joined with Teyla's D.N.A. making it so Teyla had six D.N.A. chains of her own whereas the Wraith D.N.A. only had three, in the animation as John watched it Teyla's D.N.A. seemed to be joined by Jerry's, only Jerry's was actually changing into Teyla's thereby making Teyla have six D.N.A. chains from what John could see. "Thanks Carson for the confusion, what the hell am I looking at now?"

"This is the latest test result, Teyla is slowly coming basck to her self now, her hair is back to brown and her skin is starting to go back to normal, but her face is still covered by the scaley thing." Carson said, "Also the heart beat is normal like everyone else, only the pulse is very very low, I'm unsure of what to make of it at this point."

"Just tell me when Teyla can be moved" John said.

"I'm thinknig at the rate she is changing back to herself, at least sometime tomorrow when she can be moved to your rooms, though she wont be back on her feet until at least a week or so."

"OK so Teyla is gonna stay with you in the Infirmary until tomrrow, good, thanks for the update, talk to you in an hour." John said.

"Aye speak with you in an hour." Carson signed off and the radio went dead.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Atlantis Infirmary Teyla laid out on the bed was starting to return to normal, only the change was slow, too slow in Carson's mind as he thought over the latest test results. Something was bothering him, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Teyla was laid out on the bed, hooked up to both a heart monitor and an IV, her skin had started to return to normal, though her face still had the scaley cover that the normal Wraith footsoldiers did.

Hopefully soon Teyla could be herself again, hopefully soon maybe she would get to be with John again, maybe even go on a mission with him sooner, but for all she knew he was already on a mission, a mission to save her life.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John got up from the table with the laptop on it and got himself a cup of coffee, somehow he just needed to wake up, looking over to the animation playing on the wall he noticed the same thing that worried Carson, Her heartbeat is fine but her pulse is too slow, does the pulse slow down when a person sleeps? at least she'll be herself soon. John thought to himself.

Yeah right, like anybody in Atlantis was themselves...

if they ever were themselves.
