CHAPTER 1 – The Mission
"I'm just saying why didn't the malp pick up the hundreds of Wraith on this planet?" Sheppard asks Rodney Irately.
"Look I don't know it must have been a malfunction or something, I'll run a diagnostic when we get back to Atlantis." Rodney yelled over the gunfire.
2 hours earlier…
The team were in the briefing room with Dr. Weir discussing their new mission, or what they hoped would be their new mission.
"According to the Ancient database there's an Ancient Outpost on P4X-997." Rodney told her.
"Yes and also a Wraith outpost, I'm not allowing a mission there Rodney, I won't take that risk." Elizabeth told him. They had been discussing this for well over ten minutes now and her patience with him was wearing thin.
"Elizabeth, it's a research outpost. The Ancients were conducting research on some kind of Wraith repellant." Rodney emphasized.
"Wraith repellant?" Weir asked skeptically.
"Yes and according to the database it worked, the Wraith couldn't enter the base, but for some reason they still abandoned it. Look the database is 10'000 years old, chances are the Wraith aren't even still there." McKay explained.
"If this Wraith repellant works do the potential benefits not outweigh the risks?" Teyla asks rhetorically.
"Fine, you have a go." Weir replies after several moments thought.
Present Time…
"That's the last time we listen to you Rodney, dial the damn gate!" Sheppard yells just before he gets hit by a stunner.
"Oh this is so not fair!" McKay grumbles as he dials the gate. "Everybody go through." He yells, Ronon drags Sheppard through the gate but Teyla hesitates before the Wraith start firing at them again. "Go I'll be right behind you." He says while firing at the Wraith, Teyla nods and runs through. Just before Rodney is about to follow behind her the DHD gets shot by one of the Wraiths weapons and the gate shuts down. "Oh crap!"
Rodney quickly ducks behind the DHD so as not to be shot.
"Ok what do I do?" Rodney asks himself as he hides. "The Ancient Outpost, the Wraith can't get in, I should be safe, then I'll come back when all the Wraith are gone." He says out loud, he fires a few shots at the Wraith before running in the direction of the outpost hoping he doesn't get caught before he gets there.
What do you guys think? Worth continuing? Or not? Please review! I will be updating this once a day except on weekends if I'm busy. I know this chapter was reeeaaally short but it's just because it's sort of an introduction chapter, all future chapters will be quite a bit longer, at the very least over a thousand words but I'm hoping about three thousand will be the average. Anyway I hope you enjoyed it
