Why This Must Be Read: This is a really good "what if" take on Conversion in which John's treatment doesn't take and the Iratus DNA causes him to change dramatically. Rodney refuses to let anyone take drastic action despite John's specific instructions; instead, he designs a habitat for John to live in. Regardless of John's seeming indifference, Rodney spends time with him every day, until John inevitably escapes and he learns the budding affection isn't as one-sided as he thought.
Rodney stared at her for a moment, his jaw working like he was fighting with himself about what to say. "Fine, then," he spit at last. "Fine. Go ahead and kill him. Kill whatever bit of John might be left. Who are you going to order to do it?"
She could practically feel the blood draining from her face. "I haven't considered that yet," she said, and was privately amazed her voice was so steady. She hadn't thought about it at all, she realized. "I was…I was assuming the infirmary--"
Rodney snorted. He was back in familiar territory now with his anger, and he knew he had the upper hand. Elizabeth tried not to resent him for it. "Which one of them are you going to force to break the Hippocratic Oath, Elizabeth? Carson? Marie? Keller?" he went on as if he was really considering this. "She's pretty new, maybe she doesn't know John well enough to mind deliberately poisoning him…" He snapped his fingers, all innocence. "Or, I know! We could just starve John to death! That way we won't even have to watch--"
