Summary by the author:
This is what happens when you let whumpers request a plot: John Sheppard is kidnapped, shot, forced to aid
hostile aliens in their campaign to steal Ancient technology...and he doesn't even have to step foot off Atlantis to do it. John's really bad day.

Author’s Notes:
"This fic came about as the result of an evening of chatting (and drinking) with some awesome cool GW whumpers at the Chicago SG convention last month. As a frequent whump writer I was given the task of writing a story that included these prompts: Kidnapping, drippy blood, restraints, John's ATA gene in a key role, and John to 'really go off the deep end'. Despite the odd combination, I think I've squeezed everything in in some fashion or other."

And boy, did she squeeze in everything! *ggg* For this one, add thrilling, suspense-packed, resourceful to the usual merits of Tepring's writing (such as good characterization, voices etc). At first it seems to be a little "off" regarding the characters and confusing regarding the events, but keep reading because you won't have to wait long for everything to make more sense with each part you read and then you'll pass the point of no return and you won't be able stop reading. So, don't start this if you should go to bed or to work. ;-)

I also very much like Radek in this and the aspects of "military versus scientist competition" that come to a very satisfying end.

This is set in S5 when John and Rodney are already good friends but despite this they guys are still learning more about themselves and their friedship. Tepring is a master of this. Don't miss this one.

He tossed and turned for a long time, though, and in the end he decided that John was probably just mad at Ronon for beating him at kung-fu or whatever nonsense they sparred at. The memory of John looking tired and sweaty and maybe just a little beat up allowed him to finally fall asleep. That had to be it.

When his intercom buzzed at 6:00 the next morning Rodney was so groggy he hardly managed to untwist his head from the covers enough to grumble a cranky, "McKay here, go ahead."

"Dr. McKay, you are needed in the chair room immediately."

"Why?" he moaned, tempted to cover his head again. He didn't recognize the voice. Must be one of the gateroom technicians.

"It's the control chair, Doctor. It's missing. And so is Colonel Sheppard."

Rodney lurched upright and flung his feet over the edge of the bed, "Excuse me?"

"The chair is gone. Colonel Sheppard isn't answering his radio and no one can find him. Mr. Woolsey wants you to go to the chair room."

"I'm on my way!"
