    Summary

    Rodney spent the first year of the Atlantis expedition trying to remember everyone's names and credentials, where they specialized and why they were chosen for Atlantis. After losing Peter Grodin and Dumais, among others, his forgetfulness became a habit. A comfort, almost. If he didn't seem to remember them, they wouldn't be surprised when he didn't react to deaths the way everyone else did. If they thought he was an arrogant jerk all the time, they'd never realize he didn't know how to interact the way the rest of them seemed to. He could hide behind it.
    So why is it he remembers Karyn Stills' name? Why does he know she's a microbiologist who has been sharing lab space with the Edaphologist while they were identifying microbes in the soil brought back from a couple of missions? And why is it she seems to be the only person short of Beckett who can interrupt whatever he's doing without consequence? Rodney has no idea. And even less idea how to handle a female asking him on a date.
