Considering paradisa

[aboutbloodytime]

Alright, let me get this straight. You want to take me to a castle where I can't get home from, where they take something from me in exchange from going there and there's also someone else who looks exactly like me?

Are ye mad, lassie?

It isn't that bad when you get used to it. A few wee space lobsters, and the sun sometimes doesn't come up.

[aboutbloodytime]

Considering where I'd be coming from, I'm not sure if it's a blessing or a curse.

[atadiscoverer]

Well, if you think about where I have bloody come from, you want to count yourself lucky.

[aboutbloodytime]

And where that then?

[atadiscoverer]

Oh, aye, I remember. You get to miss the whole exploding thing.

[aboutbloodytime]

Exploding? You exploded?

[atadiscoverer]

Or so they tell me.

...Did no-one tell you?

[aboutbloodytime]

Must have slipped their minds. I knew you died but exploded was not a word used.

[atadiscoverer]

Probably didn't want to traumatise you.

...I've got to say, Michael's done a bloody good job...

[aboutbloodytime]

I'm you. I would have hoped they would have told me the truth.

You can say that again, I didn't realise I was the clone until they found me.

[atadiscoverer]

Aye, but you're me, and I would have bloody freaked out.

[aboutbloodytime]

But you hadn't lived with Michael for over two years! It changes a bloke.

[atadiscoverer]

Who do you think was the one who created Michael?

Trust me, you would have still freaked out. We're not that bloody different.

[aboutbloodytime]

At least then he wasn't a manic. You were trying to help him. I didn't even want to.

Explosion aren't much compared to death in cold blood.

[atadiscoverer]

Well excuse me for sticking to my bloody principles. He was my bloody responsibility.

[aboutbloodytime]

Aye and so were all the people he would have bloody killed? You would have done the same bloody thing?

[atadiscoverer]

At least I tried to stop him.

[aboutbloodytime]

Bloody hard to when he controls you.

[atadiscoverer]

Couldn't find a way to sabotage his work?

[talks_too_much]

It's not as bad as it may seem.

[Lies.]

I haven't figured out my loss yet but the company makes being there worth it all. If you can get past the magic castle part.

[Which she hasn't.]

[aboutbloodytime]

Colonel Carter! You're there as well?

Aye, my mum hasn't worked out my loss either but I doubt it'll be very good. Are ye sure it's magic and not just advanced technology?

[talks_too_much]

I am. As is General O'Neill and Daniel.

I've actually been considering the possibility of advanced technology. I discussed it heavily with another scientist here but we haven't had the opportunity to investigate.

[aboutbloodytime]

Sounds like old times for you. No one else from Atlantis?


Aye, well, good luck to ye. I'm sure if anyone can figure it out, it's you Colonel. Especially without Rodney.

[talks_too_much]

Just one from Atlantis. The other Carson.

[Awkward cough.]

I'm certainly going to work at it.

[aboutbloodytime]

I saw that.

[Awkward pause.]

Good. Very good.

[talks_too_much]

At least there will be two skilled doctors I know I can trust there.

[aboutbloodytime]

Let's hope you won't need us.
