Why This Must Be Read: Another well known one, so essential to include it in any recs list for Animal Transformation! Rodney is transformed into a dolphin by an ancient machine and he takes to the ocean and vanishes. So of course, John has to follow. It's fun and snarky, so enjoy it if you haven't already discovered it, and maybe it's time for a re-read if you have.
Zelenka had plugged one of the laptops into the console, and was staring at the readings it was generating. "I'm not sure. Clearly it is a transformational generator, but I do not understand its matter modification settings. It is unclear how or why A is to be transformed into B."
"Can I point out that this is only half the problem?" John asked. "I mean, even if we can find a way to make that stupid thing turn a dolphin back into a person, we don't have the dolphin anymore." He turned, and waved a hand toward the endless horizon of blue ocean beyond the railing. "Rodney could be anywhere out there! How the hell are we going to find him?"
"Dolphins are said to be very intelligent," Teyla said. "We could set up a homing beacon to let him know that we are looking for him."
Elizabeth let out a little relieved sigh. "That's a great idea."
"Fine, but if they're all so smart, how do we know the dolphin that shows up is Rodney?" John asked, and really, they none of them had an answer for that.
As it worked out, it was a non-issue, because the dolphin that showed up at the south pier, three days after they set up the homing beacon, was balancing a ZPM on its nose.
