Why This Must Be Read: As the title indicates, this is a story where Rodney gets turned into a dinosaur mostly by accident. It's a highly enjoyable bit of fun that will leave you with a smile on your face.

The lab was chaos. Simpson was sobbing loudly and clinging to Dr Kusanagi. She wasn't terribly coherent, but John managed to decipher something that sounded like, "Only trying to change his clothes."

Elizabeth grabbed Zelenka as he ran past, carrying a... net? "What's going on?"

"Oh, it's terrible," Zelenka said, pushing his glasses up. "The device we have been using to transform seaweed into edible vegetation... Simpson was..." Zelenka waved his arms and said something John was fairly sure meant 'filled with vengeance'. "Rodney was being... himself. Even more than usual." John winced. "Simpson made a tiny mistake, and he overreacted, and so she..." Zelenka pointed at the travel case that the electron microscope from the biolab had come in. It was rattling, as if something inside was moving. John walked over to look in the box, while Elizabeth concentrated on Zelenka

"Dr Zelenka?"

Zelenka's shoulders slumped. "Dr Simpson shot him with the transformation beam."

"Oh. Wow." John was staring into the box, half amused, half horrified. Scuttling around in the bottom of the box was a foot-high lizard. "You can change him back, right?"

"Yes," Zelenka said. "Probably. Almost certainly. We have tested this equipment many times."

John turned around and gave Zelenka his mild-but-not-really-mild stare. "Yeah, on vegetables. How is this going to affect a human being?"

"All the data is stored in the device and its associated files in the Ancient database. It is simply a matter of retrieving the correct information and feeding it through the device and into Rodney."

John reached down into the box and lifted up Rodney. It was weird, but he looked a little like Rodney, right down to the tufty hair and the malevolent glare being shot his way. "Hey, you know who I am, right?"

"Rarr!" Lizard-Rodney growled, showing some wickedly sharp little fangs. John grinned, "Oh my God, Rodney. You're a cute little lizard, aren't you?"
