John is interrupted from a meeting with Anbur and the Council by an insistent radio message from McKay: he and Colonel Carter have increased the output from the ZPM factory to ten every other anam.

Rodney sputters excitedly, "And John, you won't believe what we just found!"

In the background, John hears Carter trying to get Rodney to calm down. "What is it Rodney," he asks, trying to sound bored enough to shut Rodney down.

"We've found a complete second control room under the floor of the first," Rodney exclaims. "It's like an emergency control room! If I hadn't spilled that glass of ekal, I wouldn't have seen the slight crack in the floor that it leaked into!"

It's disturbing that Rodney is drinking ekal in the control room of the factory, at just barely dawn. This is why Shaaziya left, he thinks tiredly. "Rodney, are you sure that going in there right now is a good idea?"

"Oh, we're already here, Sheppard!" Rodney replies. "Sam's looking at some of the controls right now!" Rodney's volume drops a little as he directs his next comment to Carter, "Hey Blondie! Hold my drink! I want to see what this button does!"

"Rodney!" John shouts into the radio, realizing that communications has just been cut off. He only has a split second to look up into the sky, not even enough time to say 'oh shit.'

Further Disclaimers: This 'Trinity' homage is brought to you by the sick and twisted mind of army_rat, based on an old redneck joke.
