"See that big light in the sky. It's just about overhead. That makes it close to noon." The Doctor pointed up with a grin. He was egging McKay on and it was pretty obvious.
"Good, that means we can stop for lunch." Rose announced.
"It also means we're about half way there, give or take." The Doctor explained.
"We've come about twenty kilometers from the camp." Sayid supplied.
"See, you're doing great." The Doctor grinned at McKay. The more he was involved in arguing, or being indignant, the less he payed attention to his aches and pains.
"Our first night's campfire remains shouldn't be too far from here, then." Rose pointed out as she dug fresh water bottles out, and some slightly bruised fruit. Smoked turtle meat was not a delicacy to be taken along. So it was vegitarian for a few days.
"Right. It'll be a good marker." The Doctor sat down, indian style, on the dirt.
"As for your technology, nope, you haven't come very far on your own yet." The Doctor let that be as much as he was saying, since this lot got all uptight about their secret government agencies. In truth, most of their advances came from using technology not their own. Even their super secret space ships used lots of borrowed technology.
"But Doctor McKay is right. You like us because we have come so far in just the last thirty years. For silly little apes, we've grown quite a bit in such a short spurt." Rose nodded to Doctor McKay.
"That's one of the reasons anyway." He winked at her.
