Narrator
Previously on Stargate Atlantis!
INT: Ancient Planet –with in the ruins–
Sheppard and his team are surrounded by a group of Wraith worriers and a male Wraith pacifically the male Wraith form "Common Ground" the Wraith and Sheppard's team look up to the sky as two puddle Jumpers De-cloak, Ambushing the Wraith,
INT: Atlantis brig
The Male wraith having been captured stands in the centre of the brig
Male Wrath
I believe you refer to our enemy as the "Replicators"
INT: Planet Skyline
An Asuran Replicators controlled Aurora class warship fires drones to the surface of the planet
Male Wrath (Voice Over)
They have begun to……
INT: Atlantis Brig
Male Wraith (continued)
Annihilate human worlds
INT: McKay's Lab
Carter and Sheppard walk into the lab were McKay is working at a laptop computer
Carter
Can you shut down the replicators attack code on your own?
McKay
Well I have been looking into that…and it's not very promising
Carter
But with this Wraith's help you think you can do it
INT: Fake Atlantis –control room–
Replicator Keller picks up a star ship tracker and hands it to duplicated Sheppard
Replacator Keller
Take this
Duplicated Sheppard
What is this?
Replacator Keller
It's a core of a ships' tracking system, it will allow you to track all of Oberth's Aurora class warships in the galaxy take it to Atlantis it will be your best hope of stopping them
EXT: Larrin's Lantian warship
Sheppard's Puddle jumper narrowly misses smashing into the warship as it comes out of hyperspace
INT: Interrogation room
Sheppard is tied to a chair with some plastic tubing as larrin walks around him
Larrin
So you plan is to keep the replacator ships form leaving orbit while this McKay guy sucks them back down to the planet?
Sheppard
Couldn't have put it better my self
Larrin
And since you only have two ships
Sheppard
We needed the Wraith
We fingered the Replicators have thirty ships guarding the surface, the wraith bring another seven to the fight
Larrin
That's still not very good odds
Sheppard
No it's not unless…oh I don't know we meet someone with access to ships it's going to have to do!
Larrin
One of the planets we trade with was wiped out a few weeks ago we thought it was the wraith but it did fit, they weren't culled they were levelled
Sheppard
Replicators
Larrin
Last time we worked together I said I'll let you keep some of your secrets but not anymore if we do this we go all the way no holding back
Sheppard
Look your ship is still a mess; we have scientist that have the Ancient gene maybe they can soup it up for you
Larrin
I have to talk to our governing council even if they decided to move forward it will be up to the individual ship captains if they want to join us or not and fighting along side the wraith isn't going to be popular
EXT: Asuras –The replacator home world–
The ship to ship fight has ended all the replacator ships are dormant an no one is on board any of them
And the combined Allied fleet jumps into hyperspace and the entire planet explodes in one giant fire ball.
EXT: Asuras –Asteroid belt–
It's been just a few days since the planet exploded as was turned into an asteroid field, in the centre of the field one operational Aurora class warship remains
INT: Aurora Warship Bridge
There is a living crew on board not Larrin or her people, all of them are wearing light cream clothing consistent with replacator fashions thou there is one women wearing cloths that are all black and her jacket is leather and she is sitting in the captain's chair
Female officer
Our Intel was correct the planet has been completely destroyed
Male comm. Voice
Can you detect any trace replacator cells?
Female officer
Negative, they have been completely wiped out
Female Captain
Good; we can finally get to work with out having to look over our shoulders, it's time to begin!
As we pan up to the Captain's face we find that the captain is Doctor Elizabeth Weir.
Narrator:
And now the continuation…
EXT: Space –Night–
The Star ship Deadalus flies out of hyperspace while patrolling the neighbouring sectors that border New Latina's sector
INT: Bridge
Kleinman
Colonel Caldwell?
Caldwell
Yes?
Kleinman
Sensors are detecting power signatures two hundred light-years away
Caldwell
Wraith hives?
Kleinman
I can't tell there is a lot of interference but it does register as a power signature
Caldwell
Set course for the readings helm engage hyper drive
EXT: Space –Night–
Deadalus powers up and jumps into hyperspace
EXT: Space –Night–
Deadalus exits hyperspace at the targeted location
INT: Bridge
Caldwell shakes his head in disbelief
Caldwell
Oh great, how great is this?
Kelinman
They're powering weapons sir!
Caldwell
Shields up! Helm set course for Atlantis
Helmsman
Hyper drive controls not responding!
Caldwell
Bridge to Engineering Doctor Harper get the hyper drive controls working now!
Harper
Aye Colonel engineering out
Caldwell
Helm new course one eight zero mark zero full power to sub light engines,
Captain Kleinman aft rail guns defensive fire only power the plasma cannons I don't want to fight that behemoth unless we have to and if we have to were going to take it with us
Kelinman
Yes sir.
EXT: Space –Night–
Deadalus turns 180 degrease around and flies at sub light speed firing her aft rail guns, several yellow energy pulses hit the shields but cause little damage to the shields
INT: Bridge
Kelinman
Aft shields down eight percent sir
Caldwell
Set aft mark eight nukes to proximity blast and fire when ready
Helmsman status report?
Helmsman
Hyper drive controls still, though we are headed for an asteroid field
Caldwell
It'll give us a chance to loose them, power down the plasma cannons and reroute the power to the forward shields take us into the field and fire the nukes on my command
Helmsman
Yes sir course altered
EXT: Space –Night–
Deadalus barrels into the asteroid field
INT: Bridge
Caldwell
Unload all aft nuclear missile launchers fire!
EXT: Space –Night–
Deadalus dives through the asteroid field and they fire the weapons; the ship continues through to the end of the field and they exit
INT: Bridge
Helmsman
Controls back on line sir course laid in for Atlantis
Caldwell
Engage!
EXT: –Night–
The nukes detonate and the Deadalus enters hyperspace blinding the attacker
EXT: Space –Night–
Lantana orbit, Deadalus comes out of hyperspace
INT: Atlantis gate operations
Chuck
Colonel Carter, Deadalus just entered orbit
Carter
They aren't due back for a day or two
Sheppard enters Atlantis stargate operations and climbs the steps to the control room
Sheppard
What's going on?
Carter
For some reason Deadalus is back
Chuck
Incoming transmission; Colonel Caldwell
Sheppard and Carter walk over to the plasma "views screen" and Colonel Caldwell appears on it
Carter
Steven what's going on your early!
Caldwell
You need to recall the Apollo
Carter
Why what's wrong?
Caldwell
We nearly got blown up by an Asuran City ship!
The looks on Colonel Carter's and Colonel Sheppard's face is one of shock and horror
TXT: Five weeks later
EXT: Space –Night-
A ship orbits Earth it is similar to a 304 but is around three to four times larger, and more powerful there is design changes,
The "side burns" have been moved new section has been added that are like the "side burns" they are shaped like a " " they're turned 45 degrees clockwise form the "side burns" and installed on to the hull, there is one on the port side and one on the starboard side
There is a large rectangular object placed in the centre of strut on the new section it reaches around 70 percent of the strut length wise and height wise around 60 percent, it is a real large version of the
Rail gun's on Atlantis thou it is a large energy weapon cannon, on each side there are two mark 3 Rail gun units
The forward spokes at the front of the ship have been removed; the noise has been sealed off and the lower part that has the lights they've been removed and four missile launchers have been placed in its stead
The bridge has been moved under the rear armour section, and the aft communication tower hear the starboard launch bay; the spikes have been removed and it has been lowered slightly more into the hull
The Armour of plating has been increased and comes down to cover the rear of the hanger bays there are two extra hanger bays on each side of the others they are position under the hull, they are separated by a third energy cannon
The rear of the ship is not anything different form the Deadalus class star ship, except the rear portion of the armour is now filled in no gaps left
INT: Bridge
Like the Deadalus Bridge thou the captain's chair has been moved to the upper level the chair design is the same, a new console is placed behind the captain's chair it's identical to the one in Deadalus' engineering section used by Hermeoid
The section behind it has been raised up one level the "map" has also been moved up to that level, there are ramps connecting each section to the others
The ship's forward section keeps Deadalus' style but the "Uhura" panels have been replaced with consoles that look similar to the Asuran console that Sheppard uses to plug in a tablet computer into the Asuran computer core in Season 4 Episode "life line" but it is smaller than the Asuran version and it's made with earth technology, the helm and tactical stations are the same as Deadalus' with no changes
One person is sitting at the helm Major Alaska Wood (male) with a few other crewmen around the bridge and one sergeant working at the Asgard console three people beam in, one is General O'Neil, and the other is Lieutenant Colonel Kicesie Granger (female) and Colonel Ian Portman
O'Neil
Colonel Portman;
This is the "Phoenix" otherwise known as X-305
The Largest ship we've ever built and the most powerful too.
Portman
She is big sir, even compared to Odyssey
O'Neil
Take care of her she's the first of the "Legacy" class
Portman
"Legacy class" sir?
O'Neil
Yes it's the first ship constructed with the technology that the Asgard gave us before they died
So building this type of ship is and using it for what they would've is the only thing we can do to honour them, thou I still think they should have named the ship "Enterprise"
Portman
When will the next one be out?
O'Neil
Thanks to the new technology we can construct 305's in six months
Portman
That means Deadalus class is around two or three months
O'Neil
I don't know
Portman
Have they named it yet?
O'Neil
In honour of the Asgard the first few 305's will be named after them and the first one is "Thor"
Portman
I never met the supreme commander but form what I do know of him I wish I did
O'Neil
He was around Yoda's size two feet tall
Portman
Our Yoda without a lightsaber would you say?
O'Neil
Yea I love both of those little fells!
Granger
General O'Neil, message from the chief of staff he needs you back at the SGC sir
O'Neil
Did Gorge say what it was about?
Granger
The Russians again
O'Neil (more)
God I thought the Goauld were annoying!
Just to let you know the two new Deadalus class ships have already reached Atlantis
The Reason for the change from "Goa'uld" to "Goauld" is because the way O'Neil speaks it
O'Neil (continued)
Beam me back, energise!
General O'Neil beams out;
Colonel Portman takes his rightful place in the "Centre seat" the "captain's chair" or what ever you call it, he presses a communication button on the armrest control panel
Portman
Bridge to engineering
Doctor Novak answers the signal
Novak
Go ahead Colonel!
Portman
Hyper-drive status?
Novak
The core is operating at one hundred and twenty percent above predicted efficiency sir
Portman
ETA to Atlantis doctor?
Novak
Four days
Portman
I thought it was a month or so?
Novak
Because of the new technology that the Asgard gave us we are now able to replicate they most advanced technology they have developed they with this new technology it shaves four weeks of the travel time
Portman
ZPM status?
Novak
It's been beamed on board and secured in the secure cargo hold
Portman
I don't like the idea of that type of thing onboard my ship
Novak
It's necessary for this mission to be completed
Portman
Well make sure no one tries to use the thing as a battery
Novak
Yes sir
Wood
Sir, course laid in for Atlantis
Portman
Major Wood take us out of orbit and engage hyper-drive
Wood
Yes sir
EXT: Earth
Phoenix breaks orbit and a hyperspace window opens and the ship jumps into hyperspace
—Four days later—
EXT: New Lantia
Deadalus, Apollo, Larin's Lantain Aurora class war ship and three other new BC-304's called "Defiant", "Columbia" and "Diana" after the Princess of Wales orbit new Lantia the new resting place for Atlantis, Phoenix exits hyperspace and enters orbit, as it does it completely casts out a shadow that turns the hulls of Apollo and Deadalus black
INT: Phoenix Bridge
Granger
Colonel we have arrived in New Latina orbit
Portman
Understood, Hail Atlantis
Granger
Channel open
Portman
Atlantis this is Colonel Portman commanding officer of the U.S.S Phoenix
A holographic screen appears in the space between the braces of the bridge window and Colonel Carter on Atlantis appears in the screen
Colonel Carter
Colonel Portman welcome to Atlantis,
How was the trip?
Portman
Sure beats a car when it comes to speed, Any Wrath or replacator activity around lately?
Carter
Thank Goodness no, I assume everything ready?
Portman
It's onboard all right but I don't mind telling you that I don't like having this thing on my ship
Carter
Well at least soon it won't be, I suggest that we speak about this in privet
Portman
If we can me and my senior staff will beam to Atlantis in five minutes
Carter
Of course we will contact Colonel Ellis and Caldwell as well as Larrin
Portman
What about the Wraith?
Carter
They're still licking their wounds form the fight over Asuras
Portman
Understood were on our way Portman out
INT: Atlantis –Stargate operations–
Colonel Portman, Lieutenant Colonel Granger, Major Wood and Doctor Novak
Beam into stargate operations, Colonel Carter walks out of what was Doctor Weir's office and greets the Phoenix senior officers
Carter
Welcome to Atlantis, I suggest we get started on this briefing Colonel's Caldwell and Ellis are already in the briefing room.
INT: Atlantis briefing room
The doors to the briefing room close and the conference participators take their seats
Carter
Colonel Portman I don't believe you know Major René Roe the commander of the star ship Defiant and form great Brittan Lieutenant Colonel Jenney Harper the commander of the H.M.S Diana and of Course Larrin the Head of state for the Travellers"?
Portman
It's a pleasure to meet you all
Carter
Colonel Portman if you will proceed please!
Colonel Portman picks up a remote control and points it a widescreen TV
Portman
I'll back track for everyone,
A month ago Deadalus was on a scouting mission and detected a staging area for the Asuran replicators, with a significant defence force strength of at least 12 Aurora class warships and a battle station, this has been confirmed by the device named "Aurora detector"; with so many ships we can't avoid this opportunity to strike so we have devised a plan but for security reasons we have kept it quite until now
Larin
This plan is insane!
Thou it could work like the other plan did
Portman
Of course it will, Deadalus, Apollo, Defiant, Diana and the Lantain warship will jump into the staging area and attack the Replicators while Phoenix slips into the rear of the system under cloak and deploys a contaminated Zero point module into the systems star causing a massive supernova, once deployed we will jump into the battle and provide assistance after which when we can expect the supernova or damage is to heavy to our fleet we will transmit a coded retreat signal to the rest of the task force just before the star goes nova and jump out of the system
Carter
How are you going to cloak the Phoenix?
Portman
That's were Doctor McKay comes in; we need you to link up the hyper jumper to the Phoenix and use its cloaking device.
McKay
Hyper jumper?
Portman
The Puddle jumper that can travel through hyperspace, I called it the Hyper Jumper cause it jumps through hyperspace as well as stargate
Sheppard
Cool name!
Portman
Thanks Colonel
Larrin
Do you mean those cylindrical transport ships that you use?
Portman
Yes
Larrin
I didn't think they could do that!
Portman
They can't but Doctor McKay had a brush with ascension around 10 or so months ago when he was near that stage he gained access to mass amount of knowledge
Larrin
What is ascension?
Portman
To ascend to a higher plain were the person there lives as pure energy and gains pretty much all the knowledge that there is
Larrin
Isn't that were the Ancestors now reside?
Portman
Yes they do
Larrin
But why didn't they build all of those transports with hyper drives?
Portman
They didn't know how
Larrin
So he became smarter than the ancestors?
Sheppard
For a brief time yes….
McKay
And it did help me change a few things about my self
Ellis
But not the fact that you are a Noob!
Portman
Shut your gimmie trap "Olympia"
Ellis
Since when did you make General?
Portman
I didn't numb nuts but I do out rank you my three years so that still makes me your superior officer
Carter
That's enough both of you!
Portman
Of course Colonel I apologise for my outburst
Carter
And you Ellis the only reason you are still in this city is because of this operation and I warn you do that again to any of my people I will bring you up on charges am I understood?
Ellis
Yes…
Portman
Doctor McKay; can you see to linking up the hyper jumper to the Phoenix's power systems?
McKay
Of course, but why don't you use the Deadalus class cloaking device
Portman
One small problem, Phoenix is three times as large as a Deadalus class and it takes a most of the ships hyper drive power to engage a Deadalus cloak that will encompass the entire ship but Puddle jumper class cloaking device is flexible enough to do it one can cloak Atlantis
McKay
Yes with a ZPM
Portman
Yes but Phoenix is no were near the size of a city-ship so our hyper drive can produce the necessary power on its own
McKay
Ok, I'll have someone fly it into one of your hanger bays and I will transport up in fifteen minutes
Portman
Thank You Doctor and all of you were done with the briefing and I would like to remind you that this briefing is classified until the mission start, Thank You
Everyone leaves the conference room and Portman moves over to Carter
Portman
Sam, just out of curiosity can he really do this?
Carter
I'm sure he is
Portman
Come on Carter, what's the real story we have opinions about those under our command what do you really think of him?
Carter
He's a arrogant, condescending, socially inept and he thinks he's god's gift to women but he is good at what he does don't tell him that please or I'll never near the end of it
Portman
If you give me a hand with the ZPM transport unit it will never pass my lips
Carter
Sure I'll beam to Phoenix in a few minutes!
Portman
Sure!
Carter
Ian if I may we've known each other for 10 years and I've never seen you how can I put it "Aggressively dynamic"
Portman
Yea it goes back to my high school days I was a big person when I was younger and was bullied by assholes like Ellis so one day the bully that was attacking broke my temper by attacking a first year kid just out of primary school…
Carter
Primary School?
Portman
Sorry Sam, what's the US version…Elementary school….anyway he broke my temper like I said I went in hit him and ending up putting him in hospital for three months!
Carter
What?
Portman
Yea
Carter
I didn't know you were that brutal?
Portman
Yea I can be
Carter
Is that how you got the nickname of yours "Bulls-eye"?
Portman
No, after that I was shipped off to live with my dad in Texas, I got my American citizenship and entered the US Air force Academy my drill Sergeant was as hard as they come literally one day at the firing range I kept hitting the bull's-eye and he was so impressed he nicknamed me it, and in fighter combat training I kept hitting the target plane and I just adopted the nick name as my call sign
Carter
You joined the SGC a week or two after I did you were a captain and he was a Major how come how come you made colonel before he did?
Portman
My rep and blowing taking that opportunity to complete to blow up a Goa'uld mining facility and it took out a few ships that were there for repairs and those other crazy stunts of mine
Carter
Oh yea that's right!
Portman
Ever since I seen that creep attack the first year, I don't stand for folk like that
The stargate dials up and a wormhole establishes a connection as procedure the gate shield turns on
Carter
There are no teams off world except the beta site; Atlantis is still in on unknown world no one knows were we are
Portman
Let's go check it out
INT: Atlantis operations
Chuck
IDC its Major Murphy, incoming transmission
Doctor McKay, Ronon, Sheppard and Teyla walk up Colonel Portman and Carter
McKay
What's going on?
Portman
Transmission form Major Murphy
Carter
Major how's negations coming?
Murphy
There fine but, there is someone here that wishes to talk to Colonel Sheppard
Sheppard
Yes?
Major Murphy steps aside and Doctor Weir comes on the screen
Sheppard and every one who are standing around are shocked to see her
Sheppard
Elizabeth?
Weir
No, I am the duplicated of Elizabeth
Sheppard
How did you survive, what about the rest of your team?
Weir
We need to talk...
I'll send you co-ordinates were we can talk I don't want to compromise the trade negations anymore than we already have
Sheppard
Ok what planet?
Weir
Not planet, space and there is no gate around that planet on in the system
Sheppard
Ok well be there
Chuck
Transmission received from Major Murphy's laptop!
Weir
I look forward to seeing you again and my team again has another gift for you
Sheppard
What?
Weir
That will spoil the surprise can't say sorry
Sheppard
Well meet you there Elizabeth
Weir
Good; see you soon John. Weir out!
The gate shuts downs
Carter
John how good of an idea is this?
Sheppard
It may not be but we should give her the benefit of the doubt
Carter
Why because of whom she appears to be?
Ronon
No because she and her "team" have proven them self's to us
Sheppard
Yes if they hadn't we would have ever goten the detector to the city
Carter
Ok, go on the Deadalus
Portman
Colonel Carter, with respect I would suggest that they go on the Phoenix with Apollo and Deadalus as cloaked escorts encase she has something nefarious planed
Ronon
Hey!
Portman
I am sorry Mister Dex I don't mean to besmirch the reputation of Doctor Weir but this Elizabeth Weir was created by replicators and that when they were captured they're nanites were reprogrammed to take control of their hosts and as a military man I am sure you can understand why I am suggesting this
Ronon
I don't like to agree with you but militarily I do but personally I don't
Portman
That is your prerogative of course Mister Dex
McKay
And ours too
Portman
Granted as fact Doctor McKay
Chuck
Colonels I've looked at the spatial co-ordinates that were transmitted to us and I doubt this is a coincidence...
Carter
What is it?
Chuck
There at the excite same location were Deadalus and Apollo destroyed that first Aurora class Replacator warship
Portman
There's a hell of a coincidence!
And another question how the hell did they get there hands on a ship with a hyper drive, we've got the Hyper jumper, All our ships in the galaxy are in orbit and I don't think the Wraith are in the market for a yard sale!
Carter
Cloak the city!
Sheppard
Sam?
Portman
I think Colonel Carter is thinking since your duplicates were captured by the replicators opening the gate for you if they have been taken control off the replicators may have enough ships to ambush us or given that this meeting that doctor Weir has requested may be a diversion so they can take a shot at the city.
Carter
That's exactly what I am thinking, and I know this is Elizabeth Weir's double but seven years ago
Members of SG-10 were captured and mind control was used in an unsuccessful attempt to disrupt the signing of the Alliance with the Tok'Ra we can't rule out the possibility the replicators have taken control of them
McKay
Hold on last time I checked we wiped out the replicators!
Carter
I know Rodney but the replicators are like the Goa'uld they keep popping up after we knocking them off, and I am coming with you on this mission
Carter taps her ear peace
Carter (into communicator ear peace)
Major Loren please report to stargate operations
Loren (via communicator)
On my way Colonel
Portman
Sam my tactical officer, Major Wood has the Lantian gene he could use the chair platform to defend the city
Teyla
What of the Ancestral warship none of their people can operate the weapons platform well enough for use in combat needs
Portman
Kicesie, my X.O. she has been trained in the use of Earth's chair weapons platform and in simulations
They say she is almost as good as Colonel Sheppard
Sheppard
That's along way from doing it in real life
Portman
I realise that Colonel but as Tyela has said they're people aren't that good in the chair platform and I'd say there's a good chance they'll punch holes in their ship while trying to blow up their ship
Sheppard
That's true
Portman has a little fun with Sheppard
Portman
Well except Larrin she doesn't pull any punches and she keeps her mind on the job unlike you Kirk!
Sheppard
You lot won't let me live that one down will you?
Portman
I'll let Colonel Granger know of her transfer and John you should update your girlfriend, oh and give her my love…
EXT: Space –New Lantia–
The Earth ships and Larrin's lantian warship orbit the planet
INT: Phoenix Bridge
Tyela, Sheppard, Ronnon, McKay and Carter stroll onto the bridge
Portman
Welcome to the Phoenix, the first of the Legacy class
Carter
I think Thor and the Asgard would be proud of this ship
Portman
I hope they do
Carter
You should know that this is the first ship that we humans of earth have built since becoming the fifth race
Portman
Right what ever helm takes out of orbit and set a course for the rendezvous point and engage
Hyper drive
EXT: Space –Night–
Phoenix jumps into hyperspace;
INT: Captain's quarters
Someone knocks at the door, Colonel Portman looks up form his paper work he has a thermos filled with coffee there are two cups one filled the other empty
Portman
Come in!
The door opens and Carter walks in, as Portman stands up
Portman
Sam, come in have a seat
Carter
Thank you
Portman and Carter sit down
Portman
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Carter
No thanks, nice quarters you have
Portman
Yes there certainly comfortable compeered to Deadalus' type those are a little cramped
Carter
Colonel Caldwell certainly likes his
Portman
To each his own, so how's it like commanding Atlantis?
Carter
You know I commanded SG-1 for a year and I thought that was hard all the paper work but, John said the I.O.A made the job very tough for her things went fine they supported her and when things went wrong they virtually stabbed her in the back and when a military situation came up we took total control
Portman
That isn't that right
Carter
Tyela told me during the Asuran attack on the city Elizabeth said to her that if they got out of that situation she may have to stand down, even thou I am a military officer I do understand what she went through
Portman
I read that report about Richard Woolsey trying to take control of the city
Carter
It was a tense moment and I understood why he tried to take control but luckily I was right
Portman
Right
Helmsman (via. P.A. system)
We are five minutes form exiting hyperspace
EXT: Space –night–
Phoenix exits hyperspace at the rendezvous point
INT: Bridge
The Atlantis command crew and Colonel Portman walk through the door and enter the bridge
Helmsman
Sir, reading six ships, one Aurora class battle warships and five Kirov class cruisers
Sir their powering weapons!
Portman
Colonel Sheppard please take the tactical control
Portman
All hands……battle stations!
The ships' alarms sound, the bridge darkens and the lights turn blue, Colonel Portman walks over to the command chair, John walks to the tactical controls
TO BE CONTINUED……..
