Who: M and Carson
What: Getting a clean bill of health
When: Thursday afternoon
Where: The clinic!
Rating: PG for M's smart mouth

M had been in the clinic for about two weeks' time, at this point... long enough for the worst of her wounds to have healed, and enough for her to start getting antsy. She'd been wandering farther and farther out, glad for the chance to stretch her legs, but enough was beginning to be enough. She knew there was much more to see, and a room out there somewhere with, quite literally, her name on it, and a more comfortable bed, and clothes that weren't scrubs, robes, and generic pyjamas.

Honestly, it was the thought of real clothes that was tempting her the most. She missed having that particular avenue of expression available to her. It was difficult for an older woman to look competent and intelligent when wandering around in a bathrobe and slippers like a dementia patient.

So this morning found her sitting in a chair near one window of the clinic, alternating between looking out at the landscape, pondering the mural of Eden, and flipping through the pages of a book she'd wished for while she waited for her assigned physician - and one of her oldest castle acquaintances, at that - to come and take stock of her situation.

And here's Carson, bustling into the Clinic, having just come from the city. He has his medkit, but isn't expecting to use it.

He's heading straight for M's chair, smiling pleasantly. "Good afternoon. Feeling any better?"

And a smile is shot back, he's nothing if not polite. Besides, once you've met and befriended Rodney McKay, you become used to the snark.

"Well, unfortunately, I can't do anything about the nonsense. Your side, however..." He takes the medical scanner out from his bag. "Let's see how you're healing up, shall we?"

He glances out the window. "Aye, it is a wee bit."

"We have lifts, you know." Of course, she knows. They took one to get here, after all. Dr. Beckett is hardly devoid of snark.

He starts taking his scanning, the alien device in the doctor's hand bleeping and humming away merrily.

"Probably." Carson says, setting the device down and scribbling the results in English this time. He looks up at M, sighing. "I suppose I might as well tell you, though."

He's going to pull up a chair first, though. "This device is over ten thousand years old. It was built by a race we call the Ancients, along with hundreds of other advanced peices of technology."

"No, but there is an Ancient vault beneath Gladstone Tor." He reads the reports from the SGC, after all.

"They also built Atlantis."

"The underwater city." He states, simply. "The reason no-one found it on Earth is because the Ancients moved the city to the Pegasus Galaxy. It was then submerged on it's new home planet, and the Ancients returned to Earth. That's likely how the rumours started."

"It wasn't moved because it was sinking." Carson does have a sterling amount of patience. "It's a Cityship. A colony ship. It was moved because the Ancients were threatened. They had to leave the Milky Way."

"It was over ten thousand years ago." Carson states, shifting in his chair. "The Ancients, we believe, were the first evolution of our form. From what we've discovered, they were from another galaxy, millennia ago, and moved to the Milky Way due to a dispute with other members of their species."

"There is genetic proof that states that humans from my version of reality evolved from, or with the help of, the Ancients."

He raises the Life-signs Detector. "One of them being this. Most Ancient technology is coded so that a specific gene needs to be present in the user to activate, or even use, the device."
