Why This Must Be Read: Good minor characters are such an important part of a fandom's greater landscape. Here, Lokei gives us a wonderful glimpse of Robert Rothman's progression over the years, from his first inspirations to his initial meeting with Daniel to his first time off-world. Add an excellent episode tag to Crystal Skull for good measure, and you've got a delightful sketch of Robert Rothman that will leave you wishing for more.
“Hey, Robert. Where’s Allison?”
“Good morning, Daniel.” Robert rotated the cup in his hands and held it up for the other man’s inspection. The red ink on the paper cup glared at them both.
Congratulations. You remembered! I’m here on Monday. What day is it where you are? –A
Daniel winced. “It’s Wednesday,” he pointed out awkwardly. “So—getting better?”
Robert handed his cup to Daniel and cleaned his glasses. “Last time I was off by a whole week.”
“At least you can say you’re more accurate than carbon dating?”
“Though for a carbon-based life form I’m awfully bad at dating, yes, I know.”
