Disclaimers: I do not own these characters; this is written for fun or something, I make no money etc.

A/N: So this is my first drabble. A doubledrabble actually. But I decided it would be better to have a place for drabbles, I'm sure you understand. I have no idea if I will ever write any more.

How did I choose him? Well, I had been working with the three of them for a month or so. I was still the only one who could do things as quickly as Dr Weir wanted. I pulled double shifts all the time, and I needed to step up the training, or I was going to come a cropper. I had to choose one. One who would learn everything I knew. Vargas was good, Kopacz was good, and Dalhousie was good. So I tried to think of a scenario that would decide it. I asked them all, "What if an evil alien got into Atlantis and drugged everyone? If you were in charge of the Control Room, what would you do?" Vargas and Kopacz shrugged. Sergeant Dalhousie's face schooled itself into a tough glare, and he replied resolutely, "The city always needs someone here to control the gate, and if that person was me, then I'd be here. I would never abandon my post, no matter what the circumstance." So I chose him. If anything ever happens to me, I think the Control Room will be in good hands. Especially if an evil alien gets into Atlantis and drugs everyone.
