He chuckled at the claw remark, then let out a long sigh at the reason why she'd goofed up. "Drained." he answered, literally. "At least now we know you can have some control over it. The trick is keeping that control. We'll try again tomorrow perhaps"

The door slid open again but now it was Sheppard himself. Clearly he'd been settled in for the night when the marine had called, having only quickly pulled on his boots and strapped a wraith stunner to his thigh before coming over. "Everything okay here?"

"We're fine Sheppard." Todd answered, glanced to Rogue then to the colonel. Just in case this happened again, he decided it best to tell him what was going on. "If you must know Rogue is attempting to harness her ability. I think you'll approve, its quite painful for me" he grinned.

The colonel gave the pair a lopsided smile and sighed, "Okay okay, just, try to keep it down kids. You gave your guard quite the scare."

"Is he really still necessary, Sheppard? There are cameras all over the place" Todd pointed out. Indeed there were two-he knew of-in his room and one outside his door. There was also the night patrol, beefed up thanks to the presence of the extra wraith in the hospital.

Sheppard shrugged, "I guess not. I'll talk to Woolsey about it in the morning."

Todd nodded his thanks at that.
