A letter found, unfinished, in Rodney's quarters and forwarded to Jeanie-
Dear Jeanie,
Since it looks like it's going to take a while to fix, I thought I'd better tell you that I am currently residing in a female body. Yes, ha ha, get your giggles out now. And no, this isn't like the Cadman situation. My body has been, temporarily, turned into a woman.
I know what you're going to say, and, yes, I admit it. This time it was my fault. Well, really it was the Ancient's stupid machine… but nevermind, because Radek and I are fixing as we speak.
The thing is, see, I've been in this condition for almost two weeks now, and I've discovered some things. For one, people look at you differently as a woman. I've come to appreciate your reasons for dropping out of the game, now. I mean, some of these IDIOTS look everywhere but where they're supposed to when I talk, and when I tell them what to do, you'd think I was asking them to jump off a cliff! There was none of that foolishness when I was male! It's absolutely degrading!
A second thing I've come to realize is just how physically weak I am now. Not that I'm saying that some women can't be just as strong as some men, but this body I have is about the same general size and shape as yours, and the other day when Ronon slapped me on the back, he nearly sent me to the floor! I mean, usually it stings for days, but this was different. And don't even get me into Sheppard's gun retraining! The stupid gun kept slipping out of my hands! It's not my fault they make the things so big, and he about snapped my wrist just showing me the proper stance in this new body. These breasts are very inconvenient, you know. I don't know how you stand it.
Anyway, I think Sheppard's going to make me go on a mission soon, whether I get this fixed or not. So, if you don't hear from me for a while, I'm probably
