Crossing Lost: Getting Here is the Easy Part

Rodney carried a few extra items, one of which was the satchel in which he had his laptop, a small tool kit, and random, odd connector cables. Given time, he could connect his computer to pretty much anything, as evidenced by his previous experience linking things that were essentially of crystalline structure to slightly below bleeding edge, Earth-bound technology. Couple that with his provisions+ (hypoglycemic, McKay had to eat every couple of hours or he'd pass out from 'manly hunger'), and he was pretty much weighed down. He was slow to begin with, and while his ribs didn't bother him quite so much while seated and doing little: read, it didn't cause massive amounts of pain to breath, they ached a great deal the longer they were out and walking around. The occasional stop was appreciated.
