lieutenant cornel John Shepard looked down at his wrist seeing his watch shining in the dimly lit corridor. It read 2am and as he thought about this McKay's nagging voice came into his head "don't bother fixing the time on your watch cornel, that watch was built for

earth not Atlantis, Atlantis has a twenty-eight hour day."

John tried to remember his witty retort he had said when McKay had said that at lunch but his trail of thought was interrupted by a familiar sound coming from the gateroom down the hall.

As he opened the door to the gateroom with his ancient gene he herd a somewhat familiar voice over the intercom "unscheduled off-world activation, security team to Atlantis gateroom."

Sheppard ran up to the man sitting in front of the Atlantis d.h.d. "Have you received a i.d.c. yet," the Canadian engineer sitting at the d.h.d. turned to him" no sir but we are receiving some sort of radio transmission, sir I think you might want to take a look at this," the engineer tapped a button on a near by lab top and a letter of some sort appeared in ancient.

As the first three words appeared in English a voice began to speak them help me, John,'' as the words entered his head he immediately slammed down hard on the palm scan iris override.

At first the women's auburn hair made him think it was Teyla but then he realized that

Then he realized it was someone far more unexpected, as the Wraith stood above his soon to be late night snack John raised his smg and aimed at the Wraith but at that very moment the Wraith went rigid and fell to the ground, he looked over to one of the other doors and saw Dex holding his signature gun at the ready.

John walked slowly over to the women still lying on the ground, passing the Wraith that still had its eyes open. Once he reached the women who was lying on the ground (wearing ripped and tattered cloths similar to those worn by the crew of the ancient warship Aurora)he turned her over and saw her chest slowly rise and fall.

He began to shake her and shouted at the top of his voice
