While no one knows the real identity of the Falcon and his band of soldiers, the entire ton is familiar, and perhaps a little in love, with his exploits. The Falcon swoops into Genii controlled areas - daring and audacious - freeing scientists and information. The ton is a light with gossip: they say the Falcon flies in and out as daringly as his namesake suggests. They his recklessness is unmatched. They say he can’t be caught.

Marchioner Rodney McKay-Sheppard most certainly does not have the constitution for such treacherous, and fearsome work, but he does what he can to support the cause. A brilliant a scientist, Rodney designed the cryptography system the Falcon uses to keep messages between the Falcon and his allies secure from prying Genii eyes. It has remained maddeningly impervious to any Genii attempts to crack it, while the Genii’s own cyphers are easily broken and laid bare by him.

If only his marriage to the Marquis John Sheppard was as simple for him to solve as the Genii codes.

“Wait,” he he gasped, pulling back and holding Bard at a distance. “I’m sorry— I can't."
