Title: Lock it up Characters: Ford, McKay Rating: G Spoilers: Thirty-eight Minutes Summary: “Marines don’t feel fear?” Notes: I know I read somewhere that Ford is a marine. If that was wrong, oops! McKay stopped him outside the infirmary. “We all thought we were going to die out there. I was so scared I could barely think straight, but you? You weren’t scared, just irritated when I didn’t work fast enough. How do you do that?” Ford shrugged. “I’m a marine.” Disbelieving: “Marines don’t feel fear?” “No, we feel it. But it keeps you from doing the job, so you learn to lock it up.” He offered a wry smile. “Just delays it, though. After the mission, you find a quiet spot and shake for five minutes straight. It’s not healthy, but it keeps you alive.”
