"So was your favorite part when the Lizard Man attacked the villagers? Did you see the way he just plowed through the market? And the way he knocked that fruit cart away like it was a toy?"
"Yes, he was quite an impressive specimen of monstrous humanoid. I thought the double set of teeth was a bit over the top."
"Yeah! God, they were wicked. Kinda cool though, really."
"You would think they were cool. I suppose you also liked it when the bullets bounced off of his armored scales."
"That was kinda surprising, I must admit. Of course, he couldn't stand up to good old fashioned C4, though. That always seems to do the trick."
"Might I suggest, Colonel, that the next time you attempt taking out said Lizard Creature Man Thing, that you at least do me the courtesy of warning me that you will be using high powered explosives. I mean, give a man a head start at least."
"Sorry, Rodney. Next time I feel so inclined as to save your butt, again, I'll make sure and give you a countdown. Say…saving your ass in T-minus ten seconds and counting?"
"Yes, I rather think that might work. And I might add that I was the one who--"
"Gentlemen! When I put the lights out in the infirmary, it means you all are to go to sleep. I have the means of helping you along if needed, I might add."
"I told you Beckett would be pissed."
"Nonsense, Colonel, I'm sure he was just bluff-- oh. Going to sleep now. Stop talking, Sheppard!"
This was my first attempt at an SGA fic, and is the result of a homework assignment from the wonderful writers that head up the new SGA LabRats Workshop. Thanks to Kam and Gaffer and the rest of the workshop leaders for giving me the "kiddie pool" to dip my toes in. It's not everyday you find people willing to give their precious free time to helping "strangers" with the stuff they love. Hoping I someday take theplunge into the deep end with a fully realized fic, but this was a fun start.
