Radek Zelenka just froze in shock. Had Rodney McKay really just kissed him and run off, shouting about lunatics and artists? Radek was rapidly coming to the conclusion that Rodney had 'gone off the deep end' and could be classed as a lunatic himself. Wondering what on earth had happened to the Chief Scientist, he ran off in pursuit.
"I've got it!" shouted Rodney happily; not caring that those poor unfortunate souls who were unlucky enough to cross paths with him were looking at him as if he had suddenly sprouted three heads.
"I've got it, I've got it, I've got it, I've..." he broke off suddenly, looking aghast.
"I've just kissed Zelenka!"
The scientist in question came sprinting into the Astrophysics lab. Barely pausing to catch his breath, he gasped out, "Has anyone seen Dr. McKay?"
"We have not," replied Dr. Kasunagi. "Not since he left with you. Is there a problem?"
"Ah… is no problem. Just radio me if you should see him." Turning so fast he almost collided with the door, Radek Zelenka dashed out of the lab, mentally wondering where a possibly insane Rodney McKay would have gone.
Some time later, Dr. Zelenka heard a strange sound coming from one of the public bathrooms as he passed in the corridor on his search for Dr. McKay.

It sounded like… well, Radek didn't know what he thought it sounded like, only that it was watery and was very strange.

Poking his head around the door, he shouted into the bathroom, "Hello? Is anyone in here?" There was no reply except for that strange sound.

Then Radek spotted Rodney, who appeared to be trying to drown himself in a sink of water. Alarmed, he dashed into the room and yanked McKay's collar.
"Radek!" he spluttered. "I am so, so sorry! I don't know hat happened, really I don't, it's just that I had a brilliant idea and in the heat of the moment I did the first thing which came into my head, which is worrying because why should kissing you be the first thing I think of, it really shouldn't be, I mean, I'm straight, I don't like guys…"
Radek interrupted swiftly. "Rodney, you are babbling and are about to start hyperventilating. Calm down."
In response, Rodney just keeled over.
