"Memory loss?" John shouted. The way he always does when he's scared and tries to hide it. "This doesn't make any sense! He was perfectly fine yesterday!"
"Well obviously that's changed Colonel." said Carson who was quite mystified by John's sudden change in behavior.
John opened his mouth to strike back, "Wha…"
"Is it a permanent memory loss?" asked Dr, Weir cutting John off to prevent him from saying anything he might regret.
In response to Elizabeth cutting him off John shot her his best I'm really annoyed at you glare. Which she completely ignored.
"Like I said before, I can't be certain. He did recognize me, which is a very good sign." Replied Carson,
"His memory loss may have been caused because he was in shock or because he had been unconscious. In which case he wouldn't have any memory of this day because he wasn't awake to see it."
"So it is possible that he will, in time, remember again." said Teyla
"Maybe… he did have some kind of seizure which can cause brain damage. But I can't be certain." Cason said sadly.
After hearing the news from Carson. John, dug his hands deeper into his pockets and turned his glare off of Elizabeth to the floor. While Elizabeth folded her arms and gave Carson her I'm very worried eyes. Talya sat back down in her chair and mimicked the same position of worry that Elizabeth had a moment ago, but with a far off gaze in her eyes as she tried to comprehend the entire situation.
"I'm gonna go over the security tapes that are closest to Rodney's room." John said finally "See if I can find anything on them."
"That's a good idea John. And while your at it see if you can't find anything out of place in Rodney's room that may have caused all of this." added Elizabeth.
"Will do."
"I will go and assist you with your search." Teyla said getting up from her chair.
"And I'll inform all of you as soon as I get Rodney's test results in." Carson patted John on the back as he left the room with Teyla.
"Do you mind if I sit with him for a while?" asked Elizabeth hesitantly.
"Of course not. It will be good for him see a familiar face if he wakes up." Carson smiled understandingly.
"Thank you." She said sliding behind Carson towards Rodney.
Carson let out a sigh then went back to his work which, unfortunately, did not consist entirely of Rodney McKay.
"You'd think that them all being adults that they'd take better care of themselves." Carson mumbled as he read over his chart of things to do.
As he was going through his notes he found a letter addressed to him personally. On the front was written: Urgent matter of business.
Moaning to himself Carson knew who the letter was from before he even opened it.
Slowly he tore the seal and pulled out the letter. His worried thoughts confirmed that the letter was indeed from who he thought it was from.
It read:
To: Dr. Carson Beckett,
I would like to bring to your attention the numerous amount of times that I have come into your infirmary and have been ill treated by your assistants/nurses.
I am certain that it is not necessary, or protocol, that every time I come in for a check up, or when I come in because something ails me, that I have to get an injection in the buttocks. (Which I will remind you again that they say is "Protocol and necessary.")
I would also like you to take note that I have noticed that I hear laughter every time they insist upon it and when ever I give in to them. The reason being behind why I have given in on so many such occasions, is because I am such an important, busy man that I do not have time to argue and I just allow them to do it, with out one word of complaint. (Which they do not show any gratitude for.) However, I must put my foot down at this point.
I have sent a copy of this letter to Dr. Weir, Col. Sheppard and Col. Caldwell.
Note, I do not think Col. Sheppard nor Dr. Weir will do anything about this situation., which I have already sent a letter to the S.G.C concerning.
However, I assume that the next time I visit your infirmary that you will have dealt with and punished those who are responsible for my mistreatment.
From: Dr. Kavanah
Carson shook his head while chuckling to himself,
"Oh, yes I'll get right on that."
Strangely enough he was glad Kavanah had sent him the letter. If not for anything else but for a
momentary distraction from Rodney.

Elizabeth sat on the stool next to Rodney's bed. She had one foot caught up on one of the bars and the other foot she placed firmly on the floor, to keep herself from rolling about.
"What if he wakes up and doesn't remember anything." Elizabeth thought nervously to herself.
Mindlessly she rested her chin in her hand while she worriedly thought of all the what-if's.
So lost her thoughts she didn't notice Ronon coming up behind her.
"So, how bad is he?" Ronon asked.
Elizabeth jumped when he spoke and turned to face him while bringing a hand to her heart
"Ronon." She gave an embarrassed smile, "I didn't notice you had come in"
"Sorry." he grunted.
"It's fine." She smiled reassuringly "As far as Rodney's condition….we really don't know. Carson would be the man to answer that question." She said glancing over towards Carson's office.
"Okay.… Thanks." He added over his shoulder while he walked over towards Carson. Leaving Elizabeth once again alone with Rodney.
"Rodney, how do you get your self in so much trouble" She whispered under her breath.
Sighing she stood up while picking up one of Rodney's hands. She gave it a quick squeeze before leaving to go and finish the work that she had been avoiding all day.

"Did Dr, Beckett say anything else concerning Rodney's condition?" Zelenka asked over the radio.
"No. Just what I already told you." answered Sheppard while stepping into one of the transporters with Teyla.
"Teyla and I are gonna go and check the security tapes. See if we can shed some light on the situation."
"You will keep me informed?" Asked Zelenka.
"Your on my top ten list of people to call first." answered Sheppard right before he clicked off his radio.
Stepping out of the transporter Telya turned to John,
"What do expect to find on the security videos?"
"No idea." Sheppard answered confidently
Perplexed, Teyla eyed Sheppard then glanced to the side as she tried to understand the Colonel's statement.
With a confused smirk she said finally, "You have no idea?"
"Yup. No idea." he said turning to her with a smile.
At this Teyla raised an eye brow in bewilderment.
"I see."
They continued walking the rest of the way to the control room in silence. Save, of course, for the heavy footsteps of Sheppard and the light weight pitter patter of Teyla.
Entering the Control room Sheppard and Teyla were met with a frantic atmosphere. Every one was trying to do their jobs and at the same time figure out what had happened to Rodney.
"Okay people." Sheppard clapped his hands, "What do ya have for me?"
Complete silence fell as all eyes turned towards him.
"This doesn't look good." Sheppard mumbled to Tayla.
"Colonel Sheppard. Tayla. " Major Lorne greeted with a nod.
Teyla bowed her head and smiled "Hello Major Lorne."
"Major." Sheppard smirked. "did you get the security tapes like I asked?"
Major Lorne gave a nervous look to the ground.
"Yeah. Sir, about the tapes." he stammered out.
"Lorne." Sheppard said warningly.
Lorne breathed out a deep sigh and blurted out,
"The tapes are blank sir."
"What do you mean there blank?"
"I don't know Sir. The tech guys were trying to explain it to me but…"
"Lorne." Sheppard cut him off.
"Yes sir."
"What tech guys?"
"Right there sir." Lorne said pointing towards two men who were amongst an enormous heap of papers with frantic expressions on their faces.
"Oh great." Sheppard thought.
"Alright. Thank you Major." Sheppard clapped Lorne on the shoulder as he walked over towards the two men.
Teyla smiled her thanks to Lorne as she followed Colonel Sheppard.
As John approached the two men he thought to himself,
"Wow, one looks just like Owen Wilson and the other looks just like Billy Crystal."
The first thing John noticed about tech guy number one (The Billy Crystal look-a-like) was that he had a long thin face and big, curly, brown hair on top of his head. The next thing he noticed was that he had a rather large nose which stood out being in-between his very small, dark colored eyes.
The second tech guy (The Owen Wilson look-a-like) had the famous coy-bow jaw line and bluish-grey, crescent shaped eyes. His dirty blond hair was cut like he was some kind of "surfer dude" and a cocky smile to go with it.
Upon noticing Sheppard's shadow looming over them the two techs looked up and smiled nervously at him.
"Alright gentleman," Sheppard eyed the techs, "What seems to be the problem?"

"Dr, Zelanca, The crystal pendent that SGA-2 found on P34X29 is giving off some kind of …energy signature."
"What?" a very confused Zelanca answered as he quickly rolled his chair over to where the new recruit was stationed. (His name was Dr, Ryan Brook )
Typing a few keys on his computer Zelanca confirmed Dr. Ryan's statement.
"How is that possible? I just run tests earlier." Zelanca pushed his glasses in place.
"Should I run the tests again?"
"I suppose, first find the kind of energy it gives off."
"Okey-dokey."
Puzzled by his use of words Zelanca eyed Dr, Ryan out of the corner of his eye.
Not noticing, at first Radek's stare, Ryan started typing on his computer, but once sensing the Doctors gaze he jerked his head towards him.
"What?" he asked baffled.
"Okey-Dokey?" Zelanca said very slowly to make sure he pronounced it right.
"Yeah, okey-dokey...it means the same thing as okay. Haven't you ever heard someone say that before?"
"Yes, I hear Colonel Sheppard say it. But….not scientist."
"Well, I think you'll find that I'm not your average scientist." Dr, Ryan smiled.
"I see that."
Zelanka casually glanced at his computer screen and started hitting buttons.
"I was in the military for four years before I became a scientist." Dr, Ryan stated.
"Oh." Zelanca said as if that explained everything.
"Yeeaahh" Ryan said in agreement.
Zelanca was just about to ask him what branch of military he was in when the computer, that was running the test, started beeping.
"What…." Zelanca trailed off as he started typing on the keys.
While Zelanca was working on the computer Ryan pushed his chair over to the printer, that he thought, was just spitting out random information.
Glancing over the readings Dr, Ryan called to Zelanca to get his attention.
"Doctor Zelanca!"
"Very strange. The crystal is giving off now some kind of particle. I don't know how. Maybe…."
"Doctor I think you should take a look at this." Ryan interrupted handing Zelanca the papers.
While looking over the papers Ryan had given him, Zelanca's face changed from curiosity to concerned.
Without saying a word Zelanca tapped his radio.
"Dr Weir, could you come down to lab three? I have something I think you want to see."
A/N- I say- Hee, hee. Now you say, "What? No!" And then I say- You want to know what happens? Review and all will be made clear to you... lol!
I know I know I'm a very strange person. But then again if there wasn't any strang people then how could you tell if someone was normal? We'd all be the same. Which wouldn't be to much fun...nope not fun...kind of bland. lol!
