Oh I loved this whole thing so much, especially your characterisation of Lorne which was fabulous. I read this ages ago, but am kidding myself I'm working and not loitering with intent on lj, but these lines :
"We need to up the morale by next week or risk Dr. Weir holding a talent competition," John explained. "And by Dr. Weir, I mean me and McKay. And by me and McKay I mean -- "
"Me and Zelenka," Lorne finished.
John grinned humorlessly. Lorne was a great 2IC. He already had a firm grasp of the situation.
"Right. So. We need some morale. In a hurry. Are we on the same page?" He raised his eyebrows at Lorne.
"Yes, sir," Lorne said with a fair degree of enthusiasm. "I'll get right on that."
"Good man," John said, clapping him on the back. "Please don't give me details." were just so brilliant that they've stayed with me.
Fabulous, I'm definitely sticking this in my memories
