The Intruder, Pt. 1

From cloaking the city from the sight of the wraith we move onto cloaking Sheppard and McKay's relationship from the mainstream audience. We join our main characters on the Daedalus, on a return voyage home from Earth. They're returning with much more of their personal effects meaning that the people who are now returning had made the choice to move to Atlantis on a more permanent basis. They had left for Earth weeks ago through the gate which now, with the ZPM, was able to form a wormhole to Earth, whereas the Daedalus had made a slower journey back at the same time to pick them up from the other side. We know that they have been gone at least two months (as per Caldwell's statement later), possibly more, and an excess two weeks of which have been spent on the return voyage as they are now on the edge of the Pegasus galaxy.

This is where we find Weir enjoying a late night cup of joe joined by Sheppard, who saunters in looking at his watch seemingly checking to see that it really was as late as he thought it was. Clearly, he had not expected to run into anyone else there. Could even be that he had chosen this late hour because he was trying to avoid having company.

There were things that happened in the two months that we didn't get to see. One of the most notable changes is that Weir is now single, having been dumped for another (so far as we know) woman by her lover Simon. Sheppard and McKay also seem to have either ended or put their relationship on pause, which I'll demonstrate later. And this would conveniently leave two freshly single people that meet in the mess hall to have a late night cup of coffee, having been cooped up in a small enclosed space for a weeks. It's a good start for a romance, right? We actually see relationships form in this way in the franchise on a few occasions on timelines that are later erased. And they do certainly amp up the flirty behaviour between Weir and Sheppard which, as I've discussed before, was used to run cover for the other relationship taking twists and turns in the subtext.

But the thing is, if Weir and Sheppard's relationship would have been borderline impossible before due to many reasons (chain of command, military and civilian authority, Weir being a relationship, her age, Sheppard's trauma, USAF consultants), it is downright ludicrous now because Weir had just, unbeknownst to Sheppard, basically blackmailed the US Army into giving him a promotion. A romantic relationship between the two of them following this would probably have warranted a court-martial. This just clinched the fact that it was never ever going to happen between these two characters. What we do see is the deepening of their friendship. Weir had chosen to place her trust in Sheppard. And Sheppard was attempting to repay this trust by trusting her in return.

I used to think, as many do, that it was Trinity (S02E06) that marked a turning point in the relationship between Sheppard and McKay, and to be sure it does cause a major fracture. But it didn't come out from nowhere and the foundation for that is already being laid out here. We know nothing of what McKay did with his time on Earth, and only see Sheppard briefly visit Ford's cousin. There is not even a hint of what might have happened between them and it is only through the narrative mirror provided by Weir and Simon that we may begin to guess what might have happened. Weir is a parallel for Sheppard and Simon for McKay, and we see in a series of flashbacks how they arrive at their break-up.

We can't be sure how long Sheppard and McKay were... playing the game. We see the tension between them building up to it all season long but whether it had culminated into a physical relationship before Before I Sleep (S01E15) is more difficult to determine. The earliest time it could have started is after the events of The Defiant One (S01E12), and I've suggested 38 Minutes (S01E04) should actually be placed after The Eye (S01E11), where it would make the most narrative sense. The mid-season finale was a dramatic event that served as a turning point, Sheppard had come to realize how much this man means to him, and he tried his damnedest to fight these feelings out of fear that his love would get him killed before long. By The Defiant One he gave in, during Hot Zone (S01E13) they were definitely having sex with each other, and the nature of his relationship was only intensified by the impending attack by the wraith. Living under this constant looming threat made them cling to each other, intensified their feelings. Everything was more desperate, every time may have been the last time. Everything felt larger than life.

And then suddenly, it was over. They didn't have to fear for their lives every minute of every day, and especially didn't need to worry for the safety of the other person. They were away from what they had begun considering their home, the context in which this relationship had started and grown to fruition. They were safely back on Earth, trying to pick up the threads of the lives they had left behind there when they had stepped through the gate all those months ago, prepared never to return. Their lives were back on Atlantis and both were keen to return there, but coming back also gave them more perspective to what had happened. After all, it had only been a few weeks. The circumstances had been exceptional. They had been marooned with a limited set of people in an enclosed space for months, so there probably was some degree of prairie madness or cabin fever going on, the concepts of which would have been familiar to both from their stints on the Antarctic and Siberia. People could easily go stir-crazy in the kind of situation they had been in, it happened.

And then there were the hurt feelings, the soreness caused by the events of the last few days of the siege. Sheppard had been devastated by thinking that McKay had died, and when this was combined by the tragic events that had left him to self-isolate in the most remote part of his world originally, the impact was even greater. It had driven him to do something both dramatic and reckless as a result, and he hadn't even begun to deal with the repercussions of his actions. And while he may have thought he had the best of intentions, his actions had hurt McKay in ways that he had never been hurt before, and he had been hurt plenty. It was because of his childhood that McKay rarely if ever let anyone get close to him, allowed himself to be vulnerable with another person, to trust someone not only with his life but with his actual self without pretenses and disguises, without layers and layers of protective defense mechanisms, to actually be himself and believe that it was worth something to someone.

And then Sheppard had chosen to leave him behind, had shown that he did not trust him to be able to do this job, had disregarded everything he thought they had forged between them during those late night discussions, breathing the same air, melding together so close that their sweat actually plastered them together, sharing their histories and fears and dreams, living a lifetime's worth of love in the span of a few weeks. And then, it hadn't meant anything. McKay needed time to sort through his thoughts and emotions. He needed time to process everything that had happened. And he found it easy to lose himself in his work. The work, solving problems, had always been there for him. It had gotten him through his childhood, his adolescence, the lonely years of his professional career. It had always been there for him. Doing the work, he could be useful and maybe worth something to someone, somewhere, somewhen.

And then there was the issue of Sheppard's promotion to Lieutenant Colonel a month into their stay on Earth. If it had been difficult previously for them to keep what they were doing under the radar, now it was even more so. And Sheppard suddenly had a lot more to lose if he was discovered. Never in his life had he thought he would get this far in his career, and he was still trying to figure out how to fill these boots. While he didn't necessarily think it was worth sacrificing everything for, he did have to rethink what he wanted out of life, what was important, what he would be able to have and what doors it would close for him, perhaps for good. Yes, he loved Rodney. He was sure that he would always love him in some form or another. And hot damn, the ways he wanted that man. But no one had believed in him, that he would get this far, certainly not his father, not even himself, and he wasn't ready to give all of it up now just because his dick had an itch. So, they had decided to put a stop to what they had been doing. Whether they had talked it out or not, we don't know.

But this is how we find them. Trying to find their footing in a new situation, trying to learn how to work together without letting their feelings get in the way. Because fact is, both of these men love the other. They want to get to the other so badly. And given their respective circumstances and histories, it's obvious neither of them had ever had the kind of sex as they had with each other. But they both keep getting in their own way. Their pasts, their untreated traumas, their underdeveloped tools of communication and interaction, not to mention the rules and regulations of the military and the policies of the administration they serve under, keep them from getting to the other person for a good long while. With them, it was never a question of not loving the other. Love is what made it hurt as much as it did.

So, Sheppard joins Weir and they have a discussion where both of them are hiding some fresh heartache. Neither of them is big on sharing, so they dance around any serious topics:

Weir: Hey, what are you doing up so late? Sheppard: Couldn't sleep. Must be the burden of command. You know, ever since I was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. Weir: Alright, John -- it's been almost a month. When are you gonna stop trying to bringing that up in every single conversation?

Note that Sheppard starts the conversation by just outright lying to her. Obviously that is not the reason he hasn't been able to sleep and in telling her so, he's both telling her that it's none of her business and changing the topic at the same time. Sheppard makes it into a joke but clearly he has had trouble sleeping of late. He wasn't the one that had a hard time sleeping before the wraith attacked, and he had been very concerned about McKay getting sleep all up until the previous episode. It might be that he had grown accustomed to sleeping with someone, and now that he wasn't there, he wasn't sleeping so well. But what this establishes beyond a shadow of a doubt is that Weir and Sheppard are not sleeping together. The weeks that they've spent together on the ship's return voyage has not made them seek comfort in each other even if, engaged as they are in this conversation, they are leaning forward toward one another over the table (but true to form, Sheppard does place his arm on the table as a barrier between them, a barrier on real intimacy).

Further, Sheppard seems both proud and very happy about his promotion. It does display this trust that has developed between them that he is able to have somewhat of an honest conversation with her, he is able to open up about some things, even though he does still kind of make serious topics into a joke, turns them into flippant comments to downplay the impact of what he says:

Sheppard: You gotta understand, there's a lot of people in the Air Force who never thought I'd make it past Captain! Weir: Well, obviously the people whose opinions matter the most thought otherwise.

The implication here is that Weir is among the people whose opinions matter the most to Sheppard, and that we're supposed to interpret the look he gives her as confirmation of this. But he doesn't know she had a hand in his promotion. He doesn't quite seem to understand the meaning behind her comment, or her knowing smile. And the look he gives her is strange. First, he is smiling to himself lost in some thought and as soon as he processes what she just said, he looks almost angry. The pleasant, light and flirty expression, feigned though it clearly was, suddenly just falls off and there is something hard in his eyes. Also, we're meant to think it was his trouble with authority that had made people doubt his chances of promotion where his black mark, crossing enemy lines to rescue someone important to him, is not really indicative of a pattern of behaviour as it is an incident. If people have doubted his chances throughout his career, that clearly hadn't been the reason.

Sheppard says that there were a lot of people in the Air Force that had thought this. What he doesn't say is that he very likely thought his father believed the same thing. It was his father's plans for him that he had escaped into the military. But given the influence wielded by his father and his brother's propensity for "handling things," whether he even knows it or not, Weir may not even be the first person to see that he receives a promotion he doesn't quite deserve. At the very least his father had made the repercussions of his disobeying a direct order in Afghanistan disappear, and given that the difference between this reality and the one where he had been kicked out of the military was the gender of the person he rescued that he had been "...involved" with, his father almost certainly would not have wanted what might have been an extremely public trial (DADT + Afghanistan + US servicemen as casualties) associated with his name.

The incident would have made the news even without the sordid details but given that his sexual orientation seems to have been the reason Sheppard thinks that his father disowned him, the old man certainly would have wanted to bury all the details pertaining to the events miles deep into the ice of the Antarctic. So one has to wonder whether the hard look Sheppard gives Weir is masking some of these memories. He is also likely reminded of just what the people who didn't "think otherwise" had thought about him, what he has been told throughout his career. The fact that a whole month later he himself doesn't seem to quite believe this is true may be related to this. The joking tone in which he makes his confession may actually be hiding a much darker history than he lets on. What we do know is that he, again, changes the topic very quickly following this.

The look Weir gives him seems a bit cheeky, a "being in the know" kind of look. It may be Weir's way of letting him know that she gets it, gets why all those people would have doubted his ability to advance in the military, and fuck all those people. The opinions of homophobic officers don't matter to her and they shouldn't matter to him. Because at this point, she still probably thinks he's gay-gay, she has no reason to think otherwise. If anything, Weir might suspect McKay is bisexual because of the reputation he's tried to uphold during his time civilian contracting for the US military, which is hilarious in itself.

But that is what she thinks he's referring to. It's what she thought the all male panel that fought her on this had been referring to, and she personally certainly thought she could use someone that wasn't a middle aged straight white guy in her corner. And it's not even that she was wrong in thinking this. Probably there were a lot of people he had served with who thought and even wished that he was held back because he just couldn't keep that dick out of his mouth for very long. Because that kind of promiscuous behaviour was one way he thought he could run away from his feelings and not have to face them. It was also a subtle way of bucking authority, and during his time in the military Sheppard has certainly figured out all the different ways authority could be bucked.

All the same, with Weir having recently broken up a long-term relationship, he can tell that she too seems not entirely herself. Not wanting to talk about the people who thought he would never make it past Captain, Sheppard changes the topic for the once more:

Sheppard: What about you, what are you still doing up? Weir: I think I got used to falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. Sheppard: Well, McKay says we're already at the edge of the Pegasus galaxy. You'll be fine once we get back to Atlantis. You know, it's funny... I spent the past year wondering if I'd ever see Earth again, and as soon as I got there... Weir: I know how you feel. It was extremely convenient to be able to step through the Gate and be at Stargate Command in an instant, and now this... feels extremely inconvenient, having to spend eighteen days cooped up in the ship to get back. Sheppard: Well, until we find another ZPM to power the Earth Gate, that's just the way it's gonna have to be.

So, Weir also is unable to sleep because she too had gotten used to something on Atlantis that she did not have on Earth or now on the return voyage. For her, it was the sound of the ocean. For him, it was the sleeping sounds of the person whose name he can't keep off of his tongue no matter how much they may have taken time to think things over. McKay was still the most important person in his life. McKay was still on his mind all the time. McKay was the one whose presence he missed like a phantom limb.

While this seems like an ordinary conversation between colleagues or even friends, there are two people sitting in this table that are doing their best to hide the pain of a broken heart. The way he speaks McKay's name, he almost makes it sound normal. Almost. It is the fact that he's putting up his charming school-boy persona that betrays him. He is performing ordinary, normal, regular, a-ok. He is keeping his tone purposefully light and playful. Even though he is much better at this than Weir is, they are both going through similar pain.

Clearly Sheppard and McKay were still talking. They were still spending time with each other. They were trying to find their footing, pretending like they could still work together like nothing had happened. They were still a team, they were partners, a lot was riding on their ability to push their personal feelings aside and be able to function as a unit for the good of the expedition, for the good of Atlantis, and it was good that they had these few weeks together on the ship to test out their ability to work together. Maybe it would be ok. Maybe they could do this because if he was good at something, it was ignoring the ache in his heart, pushing down the pain so that it would not get in the way of performing his duty. It might even be better this way because now, he would not be distracted from keeping that man alive.

However, all of this was about to be put under a stress strain test. It seems there was a late night murder mystery on board.

Before Gilbert nearly died of typhoid, Anne rarely spoke to him directly about her early childhood. She hardly spoke of it at all to anyone, though perhaps Diana knew more than it seemed; Anne would have sworn her to secrecy in a ceremony held in the woods behind old Simon Caldwell’s place that Diana had let slip Anne referred to the Silver Palladium because there was a preponderance of birches. Diana didn’t know enough to tell Anne Palladium meant a statue and wasn’t another word for palace and Gilbert hadn’t wanted to risk a second encounter with Anne’s slate, so no one corrected her. She would have lifted that pointed chin and aimed her nose heavenward in proud disregard and she wasn’t hurting anyone anyway. She would have made Diana do something she called plighting troth, perhaps involving braiding together some flowers and grasses or burying some very white stones together at the base of the tallest, slimmest birch, and then might have admitted to the littlest, mildest fact of what it had been like for her before she came to Green Gables. He suspected she actually hadn’t meant to tell him anything. After the crisis, when they’d all decided he would live even though he himself wasn’t convinced of it, Anne had come to visit nearly every day and sat with him for an hour, even when he couldn’t keep his eyes open.

I don’t understand why so many of you are so obsessed with mpreg. And it’s never a C-section either, as if a baby would fit through the hip bones of a guy. Wish some of you would read a biology textbook.

Lol, Anon, I’m so glad your biological objection to mpreg is not the absence of a female reproductive system nor the presence of a male endocrine system that would actually make pregnancy difficult even with a transplanted uterus. No, you’re worried about the relatively minute skeletal sexual dimorphism of the human pelvis. It’s true that it’s been a while since I read a biology “textbook”, but you can read more up to date research here: Pelvic Inlet Shape Is Not as Dimorphic as Previously Suggested

Tl;dr: there are 4 pelvic forms, defined based on specific measurements back in the 19th century by racist, sexist anthropologists, who said only ‘abnormal’ women have an android pelvis. Surprise, surprise, it turns out their “android vs gynecoid” dichotomy is pretty much a misnomer. Most people have a ‘male pelvis’, and to add insult to injury, more men than women have a ‘female pelvis’ 😂

In addition to these differences, others claim that the inlet shape is generally android in males and gynecoid in females (Caldwell et al., 1934; Abitbol, 1996; Burden and Simons, 2004; Drake et al., 2005). However, the results of this study refute this claim because the android form was the most common shape for both males and females. In addition, the perceived typical female shape was actually more common among the males in this study. These results question the validity of defining a typical inlet shape for males and females.

Anyway, hope that helps you enjoy mpreg for its stark realism according to leading edge science.

477. Morris Simon - Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Gamebook 9: The Sorcerer's Crown (1986)

With a cool Clyde Caldwell cover, this is the second volume in a trilogy of gamebooks, the Kingdom of Sorcery trilogy, which started off with Sceptre of Power, earlier in 1986. This book follows on directly from the previous one, so much so that you can't really read this as a standalone gamebook, but part of a larger tale.

Although the story is interesting, and the fact that it is part of a larger story allows it to be a bit more detailed than other books in the series that need to fit a full story in just one volume, there are problems here which are common to other not so great gamebooks.

First and foremost among these problems is the railroadiness of the story, not only do you have to play the adventure in a certain predetermined path, but diverting from that path leads to instadeath more often than not. That illusion of choice can be a bit annoying if you are expecting a more sandboxy adventure, but it makes up for it with interesting characters and plot.
