He massaged the soap into her skin, the simple act of spending time with Rogue like this very calming indeed. There was much on his mind.
"What do you plan on doing while in Atlantis?" he asked.
He estimated they could be there for a month or more depending on how poorly or how well the gene therapy worked on the queen and the side effects that would undoubtedly come to light. He'd likely spend a good portion of that time in the beginning by her side and simultaneously working with doctors Keller and Beckett on the serum for the Drones if they had not yet completed it by the time they returned.
She wouldn't have to be confined to Atlantis, she could spend time on the hive on her own with the rest of the crew, but he had plans for most of them while they were parked in orbit. He hoped to convince McKay to work with his crew and try to bring the hive up to its maximum potential. Despite the gene therapy, it was unlikely he'd give them intergalactic hyperdrive capabilities but at least another set of eyes-and ideas-on figuring out power consumption and hull strength to give the hive an upper hand in a hive-to-hive fight would be most helpful.
Because, as much as he didn't want to, they had to start engaging enemy hive ships and put an end to this civil war eventually. The more advantages their hive had, the better. And they could pass along those upgrades to the rest of the alliance fleet too.
He'd also have a group of his crew focus on the life of gardening and farming by working with some of Atlantis' people on the mainland. They were going to be spending a lot of time around Atlantis, best make the most of it and ensure the likelihood of mutiny stays low by keeping the crew busy.
