Radek watched the scene in front of him with mild amusement. He had returned to the lab after showing the scientists a different lab to find John and Rodney bickering over Rodney's laptop. Radek assumed they were working on the body-switch problem but, well, one should never assume anything.
The quiet bickering was broken when John leaned back in his chair with a groan, "Come on McKay worry about your research later. Fix this now," he pointed toward his face, Rodney's face.
Rodney only mumbled, "Later," in response before focusing on the laptop screen.
John looked away from the laptop and his body, searching the room for something. He found it when his/Rodney's eyes fell on Radek. A worrisome smile graced his lips—worrisome to Radek that is—before he spoke, "Hey, Dr. Z, maybe you can figure out hot to get us back to normal."
Radek shook his head, "I do not think so. I can finish the research quickly though."
John's head shot up above the laptop screen and Rodney narrowed his eyes, "You can, can you? How?"
Radek merely shrugged and pulled out a disk, handing it to Rodney before backing up to the door. He was not stupid, far from it in fact and he knew that as soon as Rodney found out what was on the disk he would want to be as far away from the lad as possible.
Rodney held up the disk, "What's this?"
"What was on board, I back it up before I let newbies in here."
John blinked and backed away from Rodney, trying to ignore the fact that his face was once again taking on an interestingly bright shade of red. That couldn't possibly be good from his body; he was starting to think Rodney would kill him before he got it back.
"You backed it up?" Rodney paused for a moment, "You backed it up!"
"Uh-huh," Radek said, just as the door slipped open behind hi. Turning Radek ran past the figure that had opened the door and down the hall.
He heard Rodney yell, "Why the hell didn't you say something FOUR hours ago?" before the transporter door slide shut and he was safe……for now.
John looked at the newcomer to the room and felt a sense of dread wash over him. Rodney must of felt it too because he fell quiet.
The newcomer cleared his throat and looked at the two squirming men in front of him, "Do you know why I'm here gentlemen?"
"You're looking for company at dinner?" John asked hopefully or maybe that was wistfully.
"I don't think so. I'm here to escort both of you to the infirmary. You're the only people left on the list."
Rodney sputtered, "Carson, there is no way you can do our physicals right now, incase you haven't noticed we aren't in our own bodies."
Carson smiled, "Perfect, I might get truthful answers then. Let's go." Rodney and John were given no choice but to follow when Carson grabbed each of them by an arm and led them down the hall.
