Why This Must Be Read:

An accident with a Wraith dart causes Rodney to realize how much he needs Radek. They work together and race against the clock as usual but this time they are doing it to save Radek. 

Returning to the scanner's findings on his lap top, Rodney focused now on the nature of the pattern they hoped was Radek's. Naturally, he'd spent many hours examining the recordings of his own pattern, made when he'd been caught in the culling beam -Cadman's too- but what they had here looked a bit different. It did look familiar, though, for some reason, and Rodney racked his brain for several whole seconds before he realized why. "Oh no," he said, and turned immediately to his radio and called for Dr. Beckett.

He kept his peace until Beckett showed up, though everyone in the lab was obviously terribly curious as to why he'd called for a medical doctor. Rodney took Beckett to his laptop as soon as he arrived, and pointed out the wave form profile he'd been looking at.

"Does that look like what I think it looks like?" he asked as Carson sat to examine the screen more closely.

"If you're thinking it looks like an EEG," said Carson after a moment, "then, yes, it does."

"Is it Radek's?" Rodney asked.

Carson shrugged. "That I couldn't say," he answered, "Not without comparing this to what we've got on record."

"Is he conscious?" Rodney tried not to let the dread he was feeling show in his question.

"Well," Carson began thoughtfully, "I can't be sure, but if I had to guess ..." Rodney gestured impatiently, "then I'd say yes."

"What does that mean?" asked Hedwig Freiherr, the head of Radek's engineering team.

"It means," said Rodney harshly, "that Radek Zelenka has been conscious, without any idea of what's happened to him, and in complete sensory deprivation, for over two hours. And the last thing he remembers, if he remembers anything at all, is being picked up by a Wraith culling beam."
