Dr. Weir looked at the people sitting at the table. It was almost frightening how similar it was that fateful day only a week ago. The only difference was the fact Tim Hendricks replaces Dr. Thomason, who was still stuck in the infirmary; and that Major Sheppard and Dr. Beckett were on either sided of her. Again Dr. Mckay rushed in late. This time caring his laptop tucked under his arm.

"Now that we are all here," she shot Mckay a very annoyed look. "I would like to make an announcement."

"Does this meeting have something to do with the fact the science departments are still not getting along?" Kavanagh grumbled, most of the scientists glared at him.

"We are here to figure out exactly what happen last week."

"Oh."

"The computer reading showed that there were two explosions. I believe Drs. Mckay and Grodin have been working on the causes for the explosions, and after I learn the true cause I believe there are several of us that need to apologies to each other, including me." Dr. Weir, looked down at the table, then scanned faces around the room. "I am partially responsible for the incident."

"It wasn't your fault." Avril stated looking at the table.

"No one blames you." Perez added.

"Would you let her finish?" Kavanagh commented with the something that sound eerily like glee. The scientists glared at him again.

"Thank you," Weir said curtly. "I was the one who put the ancient artifact ball in the room. I thought it would force everyone to talk. It turns out I put the smartest people on Atlantis, people required for our very survival in a room with an ancient grenade."

Before anyone could make another comment, Grodin spoke up. "It turns out there is no way she could have known. It requires close proximity to someone with the ATA, namely Dr. Mckay," everyone could tell Kavanagh and Sheppard both wanted to make a pointed comment but Grodin keep going, "to activate it. Then it takes someone without ATA gene to set it off, namely Kavanagh."

"So we know what went wrong in the room. Why did the hallway collapse?" Sheppard drawled.

Mckay jumped in quickly to answer. "Well it turns out that we accidentally set of an ancient bobby trap. The whole collapse hallway thing was there to squash wraith. It was really ingenious, if I may say so myself, the wiring was…"

"Rodney." Sheppard gave him his, we really don't care about the details look. "So, we know what happened. What if we figure out a plan to keep it from happening again." Most of the scientist took a liking to that suggest. They quickly started throwing out ideas.

"Better train second in command in case of emergencies." Was Grodin's suggestion.

"Basic medical training for all senior staff." Avril spoke next.

"Require staff to bring their computers to all meetings." Mckay added, but after the strange looks he said. "What, I got really board in there."

"How bout we require all personal to practice climbing through the vents." Tim offered. Eaton paled noticeably, everyone laugh and Weir though maybe the exercise worked after all.

Epilogue

It was good to be free, true Bec knew she would be in a cast for at least another week and then physical therapy for the foreseeable future. But at least she was out of the infirmary. All she wanted to do was sit, eat normal food, and be able to talk to people who were not constantly worrying that she would suddenly break or something.

"Dr. Thomason." Bec looked over her shoulder to see Mckay coming towards her, and was mildly surprised when he took her food tray out of her hand, almost spilling her glass of juice in the process. "Your not suppose to carry things with that arm."

"There is nothing wrong with my left hand." She lifted her casted right arm to enforced the fact.

"I know, but, well Beckett said we almost lost you." Bec looked at Mckay shocked. "Let me put it this way you scared the science team thoroughly, and we are not going to let you do that again." Mckay set Bec's tray down on a table and left quickly.

"I am never going to live this down am I?" Bec laugh to herself as she dug shakily into the food. Things may be practically back to normal, but she could tell there was going to be some significant changes.

Author's note-I am sorry it took me so long to post the last chapter. It was almost like I was struggling to come to terms with the fact this story was coming to an end. That is why I started the next story before posting this chapter. Forgive me and enjoy the ending.
