Why this must be read:
Summary: "Oh, I see how it is. Botany's not a real science; it's just a bunch of plants. No one ever wants to take a botanist hostage, it's always 'oh, Doctor McKay, could you build us a bomb', or 'construct a death ray or die'." (791 words)
In theory, it takes a special kind of person to qualify for the Atlantis expedition, and the hazards they regularly face are harrowing — and that means it's not just the A- or even B-listers who can save the day. Even the lowly botanists are more than able to execute an effective plan of action ... and if that means leveraging their lack of reputation, well, they know just how to do that, too.
Excerpt:
"Excuse me? Evil villain people? Yes, over here, thank you." Now that he had the attention of both of them, David started in on the speech he'd prepared for just such an occasion. "Could I ask what you're here for?"
"What the fuck do you think we're here for?" said the one with the dreadlocks.
"Right, of course, silly question. My bad. Well, I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you. See, the two of us aren't nuclear physicists, or even engineers. So I'm afraid we really can't help you with you secret weapons program, or your electricity plant, or whatever it is you're wanting to kidnap us for."
"What?" Now Dreadlocks looked more puzzled than angry, which was a nice change.
