Hiccup! Hiccup!

Well this was embarrassing… hiccup!… The hiccups bounced off the walls of the metal ship quite loudly. Many looked at her as she passed by them, trying to cover up the sound.

Hermiod, who had grown used to the sound, merely narrowed his eyes at her. Dr. Novak half-smiled as means of an apology. She knew that if she could get to her computer she'd be okay. Writing or working took the stress out of her.

Hic…

"Dr. Novak," Hermiod said severely.

"I'm sorry Hermiod, but I'm just nervous… you know how I get when this happens…" She trailed off as she recognized the first signs of babbling. "Sorry again."

"Apology accepted doctor, but there is a message here that I think you should read," he stated calmly. "I will send it to you."

"You got mail!" Novak's computer shouted happily. This time a small blush ran up her cheeks.

"I gotta change that…" Novak murmured as she opened the email Hermiod had sent her. She'd been meaning to change that notice for months now.

Novak opened the email with no subject from Hermiod – he didn't get the purpose of having a subject header when the person was just going to open the letter anyway. She looked at the length of the email and gasped.

"Hermiod, this is what you would call 'chain mail.' It means that it's been sent along god knows how many times to different people. They're usually used for fortunes and stuff." Novak looked up at Hermiod who was staring at her blankly. "Never mind…"

As she scrolled to the bottom of the email she saw a compilation of "Guides" written by Weir, McKay, Sheppard, and even Caldwell. Many of these Guides were actually very funny – that included the one from Caldwell… amazingly.

The last sender of the chain mail was an email address that she didn't recognize, although she knew it came from the city because of the origin of the email address: The scientists in Atlantis had thought it amusing to have internet this far away from Earth so they had given everyone email addresses with the ending Scientists… psh.

Wait… she was a scientist too! Right…

The Assistant Hitchhiker's Guide to the Pegasus Galaxy

1. When working with aliens who use eyes for their primary 'body language,' learn it fast.

... a. You do not want an angry Asgard on your tail! They can be brutal with all that knowledge at hand.

... b. Also, you don't want an Asgard scorning you as a lowly lifeform for the rest of your life.

2. Never try to argue with an Asgard.

... a. You will lose.

... b. They're worse than the best lawyers on Earth. Combined.

... c. So don't try, just hope that they'll see things your way.

3. In tense situations, try to contain your nervous habits.

... a. It makes things really awkward if you can't… really awkward.

... b. It makes you look incredibly guilty if you get immediately nervous.

4. When an alien proclaims himself smarter than you, don't argue.

... a. This alien is probably self-centered and needs to hear that's he's smarter than you.

... b. He/she probably IS smarter than you anyway.

5. When your commanding officer wants you to do something, do it.

... a. Military types… can't argue with them – it doesn't matter who you are.

... b. When they want something done, they expect it to be done, no matter what.

6. Arrogant scientists… try to avoid them at all costs!

... a. They'll try to take your humanity away. Really… they'll think you're incredibly stupid and you can't figure things out on your own.

... b. They also sometimes make the mistake of violating rule 2. In this case, stay out of their way and laugh at them when the Asgard wins.

7. When posting yourself on a dangerous mission, update your will.

... a. I have come face-to-face with death sooo many times in only two years – so be warned.

... b. After all, when was the last time you updated your will?

When Novak finished her Guide, she was sure that this information would be crucial to others in Atlantis or back home. Well they were going home on this trip – even if it was a supply run. She mailed it out to her friends onboard the Daedalus along with the chain mail of Guides from Atlantis. She was sure they were going to appreciate these.

Heh, what fun it would be to see how some people reacted to these things… how would Caldwell react if he saw his Guide being spread around the galaxy?

Novak giggled quietly as Hermiod glared at her.


Sooooo... love it? Hate it? Adore... I won't go that far... lol
