Moving Shadows
Disclaimer: Don't own them. Just like taking a handful of sand from the SGA sandbox and putting it into the Star Wars sandbox, that's all.
Note: Yes, they can build Supergates. For the story to work, they need to. And no, they haven't managed to completely wipe out the Wraith. They're stuck on a backwater planet somewhere. And most of this isn't set in the Pegasus galaxy, I know, but read the sequel, Passing Light. (Which is almost finished, but not posted yet.) That is mostly set in Pegasus. Get ye over it. Oh, they haven't heard of Star Wars.
Location: The Aurora, F-305 mothership, Supergate, Pegasus Galaxy
Kari stood on the observation deck, staring out at the stars, trying to find a particular spot of light. That spot of light would become her home soon, however temporary. She was going to another galaxy, as an observer. To watch the 'locals' and see if they could make first contact with them.
Kari had long black hair and blue eyes, and she was short. To look at her, you wouldn't think that she could throw a 200 pound man across a room, but she could. That came from her mother's side of the family. Her father had given her most of her personality though. Stubborn to the extreme, but flexible when needed, and a unwavering loyalty to her homeworld, Earth. She had travelled back with Atlantis to the Pegasus galaxy when they returned from the Milky Way, so she had been with the expedition for a number of years. Kari's speciality was in astrophysics, and as such put her under the leadership of Dr. McKay. In other words, she had to work for the biggest pain-in-the-ass in two galaxies.
The ship's intercom sounded. "All observers, to the flight deck. All observers to the flight deck." Kari turned and walked down the hall to the 'lift. She felt butterflies practicing aerial manoeuvres in her stomach. Every time she even thought of something that made her nervous, the butterflies decided it was time to scramble. Kari knew that she shouldn't have been worried. After all, she had the training for this, and all the necessary skills to survive in a galaxy far far away. But she was still scared.
On the flight deck, the people who would be travelling to the other galaxy were gathered in a small circle, receiving last-minute instructions from Dr Weir. "Your subspace beacons are for emergency only. Only use them if there is no other choice. From what we've seen already, these people may have the technology to pick up our transmissions, and we don't know how they'll react to extragalactic visitors. So try not to foul up. There are your transports," she motioned towards a set of shuttles, "Good luck."
Kari and the others boarded the shuttles. As she looked around at the different faces, Kari saw that some were just as nervous as she was. They waited for the Aurora to dial the Supergate, and finally, they were off on the biggest journey of their lives. Again.
