Summary by the author:
Returning home after installing the program he hopes will change his timeline, Rodney McKay gets some surprise guests.
Written as an episode tag for S4 The Last Man.

Why This Must Be Read:
Because the thought of Rodney in the "The Last Man"-timeline living the rest of his life never knowing if he ever succeeded is just intolerable.

"However, the fact still remained that it would be another 47,975 years or so before Sheppard actually came through the Gate in Atlantis, which meant it was more likely Rodney would die without ever knowing the outcome of his crazy plan.

Given that he was currently inching his way home from the airport, he guessed he would never know.

The bleakness of his potential future existence wrapped itself around his heart and squeezed. After so many decades of single-minded devotion to solving the problem of bringing John back to the right point in time, it felt weird to have nothing to work on. No project to keep him occupied. No reason for living. "
