Read this story and enjoyed it! Rodney has truly "grown up" since we first met him. Loved how he was yelling at the IOA person. Loved how he got to prove that not only are the scientists a vital part of the missions, but also trained to look after themselves and their injured comrades. ( Though I personally love the earlier, more scaredy and whiny Rodney, it's logical that he's changed and learned. Like Shep said, not soldiers but survivors. )

Loved the little banner too, with the rest of his team going through the gate with a big Rodney-shaped hole in their team lineup, and in the foreground Rodney looking like he's yelling at somebody.

Thank you so much. I do think Rodney has grown-up, found a self-confidence he didn't have unless he was in his comfort zone of science. I think the scaredy, whiny Rodney was still there a bit but his anger and his need to protect his friends forced him to realize he had a larger comfort zone than he thought.

Glad you liked the banner, I was going for the Rodney yelling at someone idea.

Thanks again, appreciate your comment!
