Summary
Ever notice how aliens have mostly similar customs to humans in Stargate? There never seem to be words or concepts that just don't translate. For the most part that makes sense given how they were spread deliberately across the universe, but there should be more weird stuff.
So I made some. This is very fluffy and ridiculous. Enjoy.

Summary
On the way to pick up from materials from an abandoned planet, the last thing Kon and his team expected to find was an unknown figure angrily beating up an old escape pod with a metal pole. Despite how odd it was, there was something inside of Kon telling him that he had to somehow help this person.

Summary
"She had 9-1-1 talk her through a field tracheotomy.”
Immediately, Buck’s free hand flies towards his throat. He’s only just grazed a patch of gauze before Hen catches his hand and pulls it away.
“Abby… Is a great dispatcher, but she doesn’t have any field experience. Getting instructions over the phone and using a steak knife isn’t really a recipe for a good outcome.” Buck finally looks back over at Hen, and even in the dim light, he can see the tears forming at the corners of her eyes. “The good news is that she was able to open an airway and keep the oxygen flowing to your brain…”
Hen trails off, and Buck gives her hand a little squeeze.
“…The bad news is knife slipped, or she applied too much pressure, and the incision went much further than it should have.”
---
Abby's hand slips when giving Buck a field tracheotomy, and he ends up losing his voice. Despite him thinking so, it's not the end of the world, especially when he meets his replacement. -

Bookmarker's Notes
When Chimney shows up at Buck’s apartment, he doesn’t notice Taylor standing at the top of the stairs and witnessing the argument and the punch. Her decision on how to handle the situation after Chimney left changes the course for all of them.
