"Jack, there's something that's been bothering me." Daniel turned to O'Neill.
"Oh?"
"Yeah. How come we can understand Ranma? I mean, he's Japanese right, so when did he learn how to speak English to the point where we can understand him so easily?"
"That's a good point, Daniel. Let's ask Carter, maybe she knows."
The men walked to Captain Carter's office and knocked on the door.
"Can I help you, Sir?" the blonde asked with a cheerful smile.
"Yeah, it's about Ranma," O'Neill said, scratching his head. "How come we can understand him?"
"Well, I think that it's because this is sci-fi, Sir. In science fiction, you either speak in subtitles or in English. Given that this is a written story, subtitles don't really work in this situation," Cater explained.
The two men looked at each other and nodded in understanding.
