The few hours he did get helped clear his head a bit, but in the end, this new symptom to the gene therapy was not going away by normal means of exhaustion.
He had a meeting with those who were also having the insomnia side effects. He hadn't been the only one trying to exhaust himself to sleep. Two of the four went the same route as he did, sex until the non-symptom partner could barely keep up. One ran for several hours until his healing abilities couldn't keep up with his aching legs. And the fourth sparred with as many others as possible before needing to stop thanks to a nasty knife wound to the lung.
The temptation to wake the three that were in hibernation was great to see if it had any affect, but they still had three more days until they reached Atlantis and Todd felt a full uninterrupted week in the pods was needed to get the full effects of hibernation.
In the meantime, they'd have to find means to keep them busy or there were going to be a bunch of irritated wraith on board.
Todd headed to the labs to test a theory he had. The enzyme had been a problem before when it came to the gene therapy, perhaps it was continuing to do so. He had one of the scientists there drain the enzyme sac in his arm before he finally returned to his quarters, to find Rogue fast asleep.
He undressed and climbed into bed with her, hoping that once the remaining enzyme in his system was burned out, he'd crash and fall asleep.
A second partner meant the large braid and the tiny ones she had fixed in his hair were not alone, two decorative knots were now woven in and a couple of the thin braids gone. If he didn't take the engineer to bed again for a month, they'd be removed upon his and Rogue's next coupling.
