Dino-Dilemma
Disclaimer: Just a little something I thought up on the spot...SGA is not mine, kind of an addition to what could have happened in Season 1 episode 2 or 3 (with the dinosaur reference).
A/N: Sorry about the horrendous dela - life got in the way again - that and AP English...
So here's the story:
"Who is it?"
"Sheppard's team," came the ominous reply.
"But they haven't been gone for more than twenty minutes!" She watched as the wormhole established and then as four people materialized.
"Shut it down, shut it down!" The cry of alarm came from Colonel Sheppard as he turned and trained his gun on the still open wormhole.
The gate technician activated the shield just in time, because a rather large and bulky object ran into the shield. The lights flickered throughout Atlantis, but remained on after the wormhole disengaged.
"Colonel Sheppard, what happened?" Dr. Weir looked from John to Rodney to Teyla to Ronon. Surprisingly enough, it seemed that McKay wished he could disappear into the ground – if his foot scuffing the floor was anything to go by.
"Apparently the asteroid only hit Earth…" John shot a glare at Rodney who seemed quite meek at the moment. "Astrophysicist here had his very own show and tell – more of a show and be eaten, if one were to be specific."
Elizabeth glanced at Rodney, waiting for any kind of retort from the sardonic scientist. The scientist looked up briefly, his eyes glaring at John.
"Despite what you all may think, I am human and fully capable of making mistakes."
"Like making us a main course," Rodney fell silent at Ronon's accusation.
"Gentlemen, just one question: what happened?" John and Rodney seemed to come back to themselves with a start.
"Um, well, really a mix up, you see," Rodney glared at John who kept silent but wore a smirk. "The scientists on Earth, classify things by how they look, specifically by bone structure…" John interrupted the lecture.
"We came across some dinosaurs that Rodney insisted were herbivorous. They weren't. Apparently we were on their menu, or were going to be, had you not raised the shield in time."
"So that…thing – dinosaur…hit the shield?" Weir puzzled out.
"Yes, but as near as I can figure, that type of dinosaur was classified under herbivorous, at least in all the text books." Rodney tried saving face.
"And do these text books come with a guide to the Pegasus Galaxy? How about documentation on the Wraith?" John couldn't help but push Rodney over the edge.
"They do not, Colonel, and if they did, you could only imagine the number of scientists who would have ended up gladly on another planet to study something that we know little about!" John shivered; just thinking about all the nerds who would have shown up and blabbed happily about their theories and whatnot was enough for nightmares.
"So, was there anything of interest on this planet that you feel may be needed in the future?" Elizabeth seized control once more before a fight broke out. She did not need her second in command beating up her chief scientist.
"Hm, well, for as short a time as we were there, I picked up no traces of energy readings, and except for all the dots that indicated dinosaurs, I think it's fairly reasonable to say that we were the only ones who had come and gone in one piece."
John couldn't resist another retort. "Yeah, the skulls and crossbones weren't a dead give away."
"Well at least you're back in one piece," Dr. Weir smiled, thankful that at least this time there was no injury. John, Rodney, Teyla and Ronon nodded, even as the bickering between commanding officer and chief scientist continued long after they had parted ways.
