"Oh, crap, he's dead," Major John Sheppard mumbled, nudging the still figure at his feet with his toe.

Doctor Rodney McKay lay flat on his face in the middle of his lab. What appeared to be the remains of an Ancient device lay in pieces beside him.

Sheppard knelt quickly and felt for a pulse. It was there, steady and strong. He smirked. "He's fainted."

Ford snorted. "I told you not to do that, sir."

Sheppard shot him a wounded look. "How was I to knew he had his fingers in that thing when I snuck up behind him."

"Doctor Beckett is going to kill you."

"He'll have to stand in line," came a voice from the door.

They both turned to find Doctor Elizabeth Weir standing there glaring at them. "What did you do?" she demanded.

"All I said was, 'Boo'," Sheppard said defensively.

Weir continued to glare at him and then leveled that glared on the young Lieutenant beside him.

"After he snuck up behind the Doc and grabbed him," Ford added.

She just shook her head. "Someone better get Doctor Beckett."

Sheppard winced as McKay started to moan from the floor. Oh, he was dead.
