"It's good to hear he's adjusting well. I couldn't imagine being away from the people I love for that long," Fred said as she shook her head. She then grinned. "I hope the IOA gives him permission to visit. It'll be nice to have him around for a bit longer. There's a lot I want to ask, and talk to him about."
When Rodney snorted, and started to mutter under his breath again, Fred raised her eyebrows. She couldn't believe Rodney was still acting like a immature brat when it came to Doctor Beckett. Especially since they were in two different galaxies.
Shaking her head, Fred decided to ignore him, and turned to look at Sam. "The program has been written. We're supposed to meet Radek down there in a few minutes," she explained to Sam. "I made sure all the off-world teams knew the Gate would be down for about ten minutes while we perform the upgrade. Once it's finished, it shouldn't have anymore power issues."
"We wouldn't have the power issues if we hadn't had to rescue boy wonder," Rodney muttered under his breath.
Once again, Fred ignored him.
"Do you want to be there when we do the upgrade?" she asked Sam before she stood, and started packing up her laptop. "It shouldn't take more than fifteen minutes."
