"You know," Sam began as she let her gaze wander observingly. "Coming to Atlantis had beena tough decision. Don't get me wrong, I was excited about the opportunity but ... it's hard to leave everything you've worked on for ten years behind." Leaving the people that became her family during those years. It had been ... a challenge. "I don't regret it. It's been an extraordinary experience so far." One that would come to an end eventually. This was fine as a temporary solution but this was never meant to be a long-term home for her.
"Thank you for welcoming me the way you did. I know it's not been easy." How do you even begin to take over after they lost someone so well respected as Dr. Weir. "Should you ever change your mind about taking the lead. I have no doubt that you would do a great job."
