Date: 2016-12-18 05:54 am (UTC)And then there was the Secret Santa exchange. Making sure everyone on base was signed up and then getting a name distributed to everyone had been a logistical nightmare. Evan would rather evacuate the entire expedition back to Earth through the Stargate with nothing but ducks as pack animals than do that again.
But when the Christmas feast finally arrived, it was all worth it. The stress and sleepless nights and endless arguments and begging and pleading were worth it. The food was delicious. There were carols and candles and readings from dozens of different scriptures about peace and joy and goodwill.
And then came the presents.
Once Evan had assembled all the names for the occasion, he’d handed it off to Naoe the database engineer so not even he knew who his Secret Santa was.
But as soon as he opened the box and looked inside, he knew. Recognized the handwriting immediately. An IOU from Colonel Sheppard.
One paperwork task of your choice.
Evan thought of the upcoming employee evaluations he had to fill out, smiled, and went to wish Sheppard a Merry Christmas. He was nowhere to be found.
Radek had always appreciated the concept of a Secret Santa gift exchange. Growing up as impoverished as he had, it had always been impossible for everyone in his family to buy gifts for everyone else, so having to come up with just one was something he was good at. Coming up with a meaningful but economical gift was a talent he’d honed over the years, and he was proud of the gift he’d chosen for Colonel Sheppard.
The man was much smarter than he let on. Radek knew this because, unlike Rodney, he actually read the personnel files. Rodney had listened to Elizabeth’s suggestion all those years ago, that they look at some of the military files and see which soldiers could do double duty in the lab with the education they had, and Radek had seen Sheppard’s file.
Sheppard was practically a mathematical genius. That time he’d been confused about combinatorics? A lie.
Radek thought ahead, and he thought quickly. He found the best graphing calculator he could get on short notice, and then he programmed it to include games like Tetris and Galaga. Colonel Sheppard would be able to do all the complex math he wanted but still play games - and play dumb - if he so chose.
And maybe he’d understand that someone was onto him and be more forthcoming about his smarts in the future.
Sadly, Colonel Sheppard was nowhere to be found when the gift exchange was finished. Radek suspected the man was tucked into a corner someone, playing Galaga already, and he was pleased.
“But I already got my Secret Santa gift,” Rodney said dumbly.
