Why This Must Be Read: This charming missing scene from Crystal Skull gives us Nyan and Robert Rothman, trying to figure out Daniel's mysterious disappearance... complete with not-quite-audio commentary from an out-of-phase Daniel. Sparkling snark, delightful characterization, and so very Daniel!


“I am Nyan,” the other added with a smile. “We have met in Daniel’s office a few times?”

“If you say so,” Robert shrugged. “I’m not—“

“Good at people. Doctor Jackson did mention that. I don’t mind.”

Robert could practically hear Daniel’s laughter over his shoulder.

He operates on alien etiquette and you prefer fossils to face time. Give it a chance and you two will probably get along brilliantly.

Robert blinked and decided that he should stop putting off going to see the base doctor when all this craziness was resolved—clearly his allergy meds needed adjustment. Hallucinating his friend’s voice was not in the list of side effects, but who really knew with these things?
