Why This Must Be Read:
Rodney's grim past comes to light as he investigates strange happenings on an alien world with John and the rest of their team. What should have been an ordinary mission turns into a supernatural tale.
Excerpt:
"Are you sure this isn't the planet with that gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex thing?" Rodney asked, adjusting his vest as they walked toward the village.
John sighed. "For the last time, yes, I'm sure. That was M1M-316."
"Well, it looks the same." Rodney couldn't help but be suspicious. There were the same large trees with the same viney overgrowth working its way up them, individual leaves several feet across.
"Many of the planets in our system resemble each other," Teyla said. "Is it not so on your world?"
"Not really," Rodney said. There was no point in trying to explain some things. "I just can't believe we're wasting our time here," he complained. "It's not like there's any chance of developing a mutually beneficial relationship with these people. They probably don't even know how procreation works."
"I am sure they know enough," Teyla said serenely. "There are many children, after all."
"Yes, very funny. Everyone loves sex jokes." Rodney narrowly missed turning his ankle on the uneven ground.
"You started it, McKay," Ronon said. He sounded amused.
"I did not!"
John laughed. "Sure you did."
"Oh, yes, take their side," Rodney groused. "You're my..." He waved his hand in the air in lieu of the word he wasn't going to say. "You know. You're supposed to side with me."
"Not when you're being a jerk," Ronon said, and Rodney started looking for a rock to throw at him.
