Eat Your Heart Out, Peggy Fleming
genfic; 28000 words
summary: The Ice Capades come to Pegasus and John gets a front-row seat.

John really didn't have a lot to do as he waited for the marines to rappel down, clean out the hole, measure the depth and the distance to where they thought the roof was, and set the next charge. He'd come out today only because Rodney was starting to get a complex as this would have been the fifth mission and John hadn't yet visited. Nevermind that there had been and would be dozens of projects Rodney ran off-world that John had never graced with his presence; that he had been there for the conception and had no interest in how it turned out deeply offended Rodney to the point that it was starting to affect their team missions.

("It's a mining facility, McKay, not a baby." "You are totally missing the point." "Apparently.")

With grateful thanks to: siegeofangels, witchofthedogs, and vonknibble. Anything that's wrong is entirely my fault.

Nicely put together.

John really thought his logic was less suspect than the Ancients' threat assessment skills...
Bwah! George Clinton's logic is less suspect than the Ancients' threat assessment skills. These are people who outfitted their giant spaceship with stained glass exterior windows fragile enough for someone to throw a chair through. And kept that life-sucking black cloud thingie in storage in their own basement rather than dumping it in a vault on some uninhabitable planet.

Don't forget the self-destruct that doesn't run on an independent power source.

Thanks. :)

I suspect the blame for that one is all on the SGC people. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a self-destruct before Zelenka set one up back at the end of Season 1. And it's almost certainly McKay that rigged it up so it could be activated by the operating system without requiring activation by 2 or more of the command staff—real smart move on the part of someone who's been burned by Wraith computer viruses on more than one occasion.
