elizabeth receives a odd call.

She thinks it's John, sounds mostly like John.

"Dr. Weir. I'm calling in sick for today. I haven't had a break in over 6 months.
I seriously need one. I will stay in radio contact. Sheppard out."

Anyone who goes to Sheppard's room will find John, unshaven and very drunk.

When the message comes through, Elizabeth is somewhat surprised. John doesn't sound right at all - and, moreover, his words are brief and lacking any explanation for *why* he's calling in sick.

So she accesses the comm and sends a reply.

"Major, whilst I will fully understand if you are unwell, I need proper clarification as to the problem. In addition, you should go talk to Doctor Beckett regarding any medical difficulties."

Nothing serious as far as health goes, Elizabeth.

If you really want to know the reason, come to my quarters.

I don't plan on going anywhere for a while.

Don't think Dr. Beckett has any cures for this.
