Confining Spaces
Panic appeared in Dr. Rodney McKay's eyes and a frown on his face as he saw the distortion appearing in the distance – as it interrupted the calm black and white canvas of the space. It was a ship dropping out of hyper space – the ship - a Wraith's cruiser.
Gripped by fear, "Oh, no!"
Ronon Dex who was standing behind Rodney cursed as he saw the Wraith's cruiser seemingly gliding to a stop a few meters from their position in the puddle jumper. The puddle jumper was dock to an abandoned Ancient's war ship not unlike the Aurora class war ship the team had come across two years prior. The two teammates exchanged glances.
They had found this ship while exploring a remote area of the space. The ship had popped up on their scanners, so Colonel John Sheppard and his team had come to investigated it - what they found was a ship drifting in the dark expansion of space. What they found was a ship in darkness, no illuminating lights of any kind. With evidence of a battle lost on its hull, a lifeless ship slowly adrift.
The ship had sustained major damage, but fortunately they – Rodney was able to get some life support systems back on line while they had searched the wreckage of the ship for any pertinent useful information on what happened to the ship. The hull of the ship was still intact for the most part, but there were some areas of the ship that were inaccessible. What remained was tangled metal, floating debris for this once formidable Ancient's battle starship.
The puddle jumper was cloaked. So Rodney and Ronon were certain that they were not detected. The problem was that the fact that their teammates, John Sheppard and Teyla Emmagen were still on the abandoned ship. Having been unable to salvage very little information from the wreckage, the team mates were in the process of evacuating the lifeless ship. John and Teyla had decided to stay to check the stasis chambers before evacuating the ship.
In a panicked Rodney tried to radio John and Teyla on the ship. "John, Teyla, we have a problem hesitating for a second a Wraith's cruiser just dropped out of hyper space."
Rodney radioed to them again. But, John and Teyla were having interference problems with their radios. They could not make out Rodney's message clearly.
"Rodney, what …," John asked as he is tapped his comm. John's responding message was filled with interference – barely audible.
Ronon gripped the back of the jumper's seat in frustration. Rodney repeated his message again to his unsuspecting teammates about the present of the Wraith's ship.
During this time, the Wraith's cruiser had maneuvered closer to the drifting vessel. Rodney radioed his teammates again. It took a couple of minutes for Rodney's message to be understood by his teammates. John upon hearing the news from Rodney frowned. John and Teyla looked at one another, knowing their options were limited.
Fearing that the Wraiths may have already boarded the ship, "Rodney just makes sure they don't detect the jumper ok. Undock the jumper if you have to, Teyla and I will be okay. We'll see if we can find a place to go undetected."
John looked at Teyla who in turn nodded to him – as she position her gun to fire if the need arises.
The Wraith's cruiser had now positioned itself close by the Ancient's vessel. A boarding party now was on the ship. John and Teyla were making their way through the corridors of the ship. Looking down at the device in his hand - John sees that it showed several life signs coming toward their position. John motioned to Teyla.
As they were retreating from their position inside the maze of corridors, they came across a long corridor with many doors on both sides it. This area of the ship could have been the previous ship crew's living quarters. John waving his hand over each door panel as he hurried by every door as Teyla covered his position a couple meters in front of him. A door finally opened for him. He then pulled Teyla into the room making sure the door closed behind them upon their entry in the room.
