"No, they weren't!" Rodney said. He was getting upset that Carson didn't seem to believe him. There was something wrong. He reached his hand down and pressed it against the butt of his gun. "Exploding...what? Tumors? What are you talking about, Carson?"
When Carson hurried over to him, Rodney flinched a little. There was a chance this really wasn't Carson. However, when Carson took his hands in his, Rodney somehow knew this was Carson, but he was still confused. "I-I don't know," he said. He pulled one of his hands away and reached behind him to grab his tablet, but it wasn't there.
"The last thing I remember was being on the jumper! You were talking about your turtles, and I was uploading my hack so we could get through the Gate, and back to Atlantis," he said before he started to pace back and forth. He then stopped and looked at Carson. "Really? Exploding tumors?"
