Qui-Gon followed McGee down to Abby's lab.

"Abby?" McGee called.

Abby jumped up from her place in her chair in a corner, where she had been reading.

"McGee!"

"Hey, Abby. I want you to meet Qui-Gon Jinn."

Abby smiled.

"Hi. I'm Abby Sciuto."

Qui-Gon returned the smile as he shook her hand.

"Qui-Gon Jinn, as McGee said a moment ago."

"Qui-Gon's my new partner."

Abby grinned and hugged McGee.

"Oh, McGee, that's so great! You finally got a partner!"

"Yep. Now we just have to go see Ducky and Palmer."

McGee led Qui-Gon down to the medical facility.

Ducky and Palmer looked up and were surprised at the sight of Qui-Gon.

"Ah, Timothy, what brings you down here?"

"Ducky, Palmer, I'd like you to meet the newest member of the team and my new partner."

Ducky stepped forward.

"Dr. Donald Mallard, but you can call me Ducky."

Qui-Gon shook his hand.

"Qui-Gon Jinn."

Palmer stepped forward.

"I'm Jimmy Palmer, Dr. Mallard's assistant. It's nice to meet you."

Qui-Gon shook the young man's hand.

"Nice to meet you, too, Jimmy."

After they left, Ducky turned to Palmer.

"Qui-Gon Jinn. Rather odd name, don't you think, Mr. Palmer."

"Yeah."

Ducky smiled slightly.

"His appearance is certainly deceiving, isn't it? He looks quite intimidating, but doesn't seem as though he'd hurt even a fly unless necessary."

Palmer nodded, having come to almost the exact same conclusion himself.
