"I dont think I get you, Doc. If you're asking what happened to them fellas, then I'm afraid I can offer no answer. A lot of them were hiding when we were leaving, I guess. And when we got back there was no sign that they'd ever been there. My guess is that they just up and left like those creepy crawlers of Goa Ulds. Nothing bad about Captain Achilles, of course. I'm pretty sure he and his creepy crawler saved my life back when those other aliens attacked the city." John said.

He just nodded at the part that telling his friends' parents would be difficult. As if he didn't know that already. Hell, it was already difficult enough. But, if he wanted easiness, he should have joined the Army. Marines make do.

"Actually, her mother has been really nice about it. I can see her pretty much when I want to. Hell, she even offered me her couch when I'm in town in order to save money..." Hell, she had even offered to pick him up and drive him around if he needed. She really was too nice about it. If he had been in her shoes, John would have been way less gracious.

"Geez, Doc. You make me feel bad for being a little glad I didn't know of her until now." A slight chuckle escaped from him. It was only a joke, really. Had he known, he would probably have wanted to be there all the time.

"Unless there's something else, Doc" John said as he stood up. He gave the man a respectful nod before he turned around. With a few quick steps, he was out of the office. He turned his wrist to look at his watch. 1045 hours. Time for early lunch, or some time on the range before normal lunchtime.

That IS what I meant, you understood fine. For me, you see, this is my first mission through "the Gate" and I just wondered if you knew. Your answer gives me enough information, thanks. He gathered it was more or less like the lot of life-figure it out as you go.

Actually, her mother has been really nice about it. I can see her pretty much when I want to. Hell, she even offered me her couch when I'm in town in order to save money...Geez, Doc. You make me feel bad for being a little glad I didn't know of her until now. Roger chuckled.

That's lovely, then! I find it wonderful when two adults can put aside thier own feelings for the sake of a child. And don't worry, there will be a time when you will not WANT to claim her as your own...the hell of being a parent is that sometimes, especially when they are teenagers, you love your child, but you don't like them...does that make sense?! He hoped it did. Child psychology wasn't Roger's specialty, but he knew a bit.

Unless there's something else, Doc Roger shook his head.

Not for today. Thanks for coming in, I hope to see you around. Good luck!! The man exited, and Roger decided he had time for at least one more patient.

She was late. Not very late, but late nonetheless. She'd gotten caught up in her workout that she'd totally lost track of the time, and at this point she valued punctuality over appearance, which is why she was hastily making her way through the city in her sweaty gym clothes, dodging personnel left, right and center, errant strands of hair plastered to her face and neck.

Rounding the corner and slowing her pace, Roo approached the Doc's door and knocked before entering, settling herself into a chair. "Sorry I'm late Doc Harrison. Got caught up."

Roger looked up as the Major burst in. He smiled.

Sorry I'm late Doc Harrison. Got caught up. He held up a hand, and shoved aside his notes on Callaghan.

It's no bother, Major. Have a seat, get comfortable. Tea? Coffee? Water? How was your workout? He'd start there, it was as good a place as any. He got his pad opened to a fresh page, and then settled in across from the young woman as he prepared. He gave her a moment to gather herself.

What brings you in today?! You weren't on the command list, but I saw that you requested an appointment. Before we get into it, I have to tell you that what you tell me stays here; not even the General will read it, unless, of course, you're in danger of hurting yourself or someone else. In which case, I am duty-bound to tell someone that part. He was sure that Chicago was used to this by now, but it WAS necessary to say so.

Chicago smiled and shook her head, "No thanks, I'm fine." She could grab something to drink later. "Yeah good. Uhm..yeah. Good workout. I've been doing some gym sessions with Captain Evans, but he's on duty today, so I flew solo this time." Roo suppressed the urge to facepalm - she was rambling already, but her training sessions weren't that noteworthy really so she was finding it difficult to expand.

Taking her haphazard ponytail down, she raked her hands through her hair in an effort to tame it a little before tying it back up, talking as she did so. "Yeah. I guess I just wanted to set the example for my team? Like...I know that you guys tend to get a bad rep and I just wanted to attempt to bridge the gap a little? Or something, I don't know exactly." She really didn't remember if there was a reasoning behind her wanting to come and see him, and the realisation made her huff in annoyance. "To be completely honest Doctor Harrison, I have no idea what possessed me to request this appointment. Maybe it's my subconscious trying to bring something to my attention." The last part was said jokingly. Sure, she knew she had issues with the way she mentally dealt with negative circumstances, but everybody had those didn't they? Who wants to think about the crap cards life has dealt them? That's right, nobody.

Roger just nodded as Eastlyn started.

No thanks, I'm fine...Yeah good. Uhm..yeah. Good workout. I've been doing some gym sessions with Captain Evans, but he's on duty today, so I flew solo this time. Roger chuckled. It was a natural response for people to be nervous the first time they saw him. It was a bit unnerving, giving over your truest self to a stranger.

Ah, yes. Captain Evans saw me earlier; he DID mention having to leave to start his shift. I have seen your whole team now, except Miss Ahrima. He settled back to let her go on; this information did not have any other meaning than to fill space.

Yeah. I guess I just wanted to set the example for my team? Like...I know that you guys tend to get a bad rep and I just wanted to attempt to bridge the gap a little? Or something, I don't know exactly... He nodded lightly. She expressed uncertainty. This was an interesting response, but not entirely, as he had thought before, it was a bit strange, going in balls to the wall, unless one had had prior Psychological care that wasn't thirty-minutes of a single ordered session with a military doctor. To be completely honest Doctor Harrison, I have no idea what possessed me to request this appointment. Maybe it's my subconscious trying to bring something to my attention. He paused a moment, thinking of the best words. This Major Eastlyn wasn't stupid, but she also wasn't Fiona-that is, used to constant, weekly sessions.

There doesn't necessarily HAVE to be a reason, Major. Sometimes it is nice to just bounce ideas off of a person who is looking at a problem from the other side....kind of like a best friend, but without having to spring for lunch... He winced at his choice of words, but not being an actual female himself, he only got second-hand accounts of ladies' days outs from his wife. But just in case, perhaps there's a someone or something that you need to put into perspective?! Let's start with your team, tell me about them. Are they meshing well?! He got ready to listen well. He figured that it was as good of a place as any to start, after all.
