Chapter One

"Rachael Zelth has been commissioned to special projects, meaning here she apparently has some kind of special set of skills and in the words of General Landry she's pissed off every gorilla on earth" said Mr. Woolsey

"Why do we need a specialist when we have Atlantis one" said Dr Rodney McKay

"Apparently the IOA sourced her to act in places when Atlantis One can't and it doesn't matter really what we think because she will be arriving any minuet"

"Who will be arriving" said John Sheppard

"Apparently the IOA has seen fit to send one of their operatives possibly to check up on us" said Rodney

"Now Rodney you don't know that" said Mr. Woolsey

"It's hard not to"

"Well it doesn't matter because the new transfers are here" as John Sheppard spoke the Daedalus beamed in the first batch which were scientists.

"Shall we go greet them" said John Sheppard. It seemed forever greeting the new transfers, some had already been to Atlantis but in the last batch there was one who was different from the rest clearly it was her.

"You must be Rachael Zelth" said John Sheppard

"And you must be Lt Colonel John Sheppard" Rachael a red haired woman with a wild mass of curls it was almost an afro who wore black instead of the fatigues the rest of the Atlantis teams wore. At least her boots were army issue he thought.

"Rachael Zelth this is Mr. Woolsey"

"It's nice to meet you"

"It's a pleasure I'm sure" she said clearly not meaning a word of it,

"Right, yes colonel would you show Miss Zelth to her room I'm sure after her long journey she could use some rest"

"Quite the opposite actually I could use a work out I've been cooped up for two weeks with men who are quite simply no match for me" John picked up her bag she had dropped,

"Well we'll see if we can find Chewy after we drop off your stuff in your room" John lead the way and Rachael followed it was like a maze she wasn't sure how she would ever find her way without help. After dropping her gear off in the rather lavish apartment, John led her to the workout room where a large alpha male was presently attempting to disable a short haired woman. Finally with some small success he did. Then he looked up at her and she all but melted inside, his eyes looked directly into her soul and she could see he liked what he saw.

"Ronon this is…"

"Rachael Zelth" she interrupted him,

"And why are you here"

"I needed to stretch my legs"

"So you come here" as Ronon smirked Rachael walked into the room and picked up a wooden staff on the floor,

"What's the matter afraid the new arrival will beat you up" he shrugged

"Your funeral" Rachael moved forward to stand before Ronan,

"Do I get a stick too" he handed her the staff in his hand and picked up another. As soon as he turned back he realized she was a different person and she moved with almost animal like precision. He found himself blocking more than attacking till he landed a shot on her back so hard she fell to the ground and the staff broke the skin on her back. A soft grunt emitted from her lips.

"I think that's enough for today" said colonel Sheppard, Ronon turned his back on her to put away the staff as she slowly got to her feet. It was the snapping of the staff over her leg which alerted Ronon to the trouble behind him. Dripping blood from her back and she was still standing, he was impressed. At least till she launched herself at him dropping him to the ground she landed on him straddling his thighs, about to ram half of the staff into his chest. Looking into her eyes he saw no one home just the pure urge to kill and taste blood. He grabbed the staff and struggled with her till Sheppard and another guard pulled her off him. It wasn't long till she was capable of speech and she was horrified at what she'd done. They let her go; she mumbled some apologies and ran from the room heading for her quarters. As soon as she got there she stumbled in and sat in the corner of the room folded into a ball. When she looked up it was Ronon's eyes she was staring at.

"What are you doing here" she said, Rachael got up and paced the room.

"You need medical attention"

"I'm fine"

"You're not fine" said Sheppard standing in her doorway

"I will be now if you don't mind I need to rest"

"Not until you have that seen to" said Sheppard

"Just leave it please"

"It will get infected"

"I'll take that chance" Sheppard shrugged his shoulders and walked away Ronon however did not want to go since Amelia he hadn't felt a strong attraction to anyone else but she decided to move on leaving him behind. "Please Ronon just go" he grumped and started to leave "I'm sorry about before" he walked away and closed the door leaving her alone inside with her humiliation.
