This is a joint story written by myself and a friend (LittleVala). Our collective little minds were flowing as together we though of this story idea, actually staying up 'til one in the morning figuring out a plot. I hope you enjoy!
Prologue:
In the small science lab that doubled as a stasis chamber, the lights slowly flickered on. The walls and consoles coming to life as if by magic. On a wall screen, ancient writing scrolled up and down repeating phrases, and correcting mistakes. A faint warning alarm sounded twice and silenced as a stasis pod slid out of the right wall. The inside covered in ice, no one would be able to see inside of it. With a hiss the top opened, releasing a cloud of steam as the cold air hit the warmth of the outside world. The fog cleared to reveal a little girl, asleep, around the age of six or seven.
Her functions and sensors slowly booted up after ages of being 'on ice'. Cold air rushed into her simulated lungs. The little girls emerald green eyes shot open, and nervously jolted back and forth. Her chest rose and fell erratically. She didn't understand; what was going on? Why was no one tending to her? Where was her watcher, her creator? It took her several minutes to get her systems in check and calm down. Now thinking clearly, she lifted herself up into a sitting position. Her eyes scanning the room, it's where she had been left last, but where was Ambrosia?
"Last data recording, please." Her little voice was demanding but it had the edge of a child trying to pretend to be a grown up. The screen that had been scrolling with ancient text changed to show a woman in ancient clothing bustling about the lab, muttering incoherently to herself. The woman stopped and stared at the recording device.
"IO375921APD, enter stasis and stop recording." The recording device nodded obediently, and shut down. It was all coming back to the little girl now. Had the wraith won? Were they here?
"Life Signs detector on," the girl called out. The screen changed yet again. Now it showed the whole of Atlantis covered in blue dots. The little girl was slightly taken aback. Tugging on her black braids, she rocked on her heels attempting to make a choice between staying put like a good little being, or leaving to make contact with the beings on her fair city. With another tug on her braids she huffed and grabbed a small sized PADD off the console and exited the lab. Switching the life signs detector on she noticed a blue dot nearby her position. Human, well this was a good turn of events. The dot was just around the corner, time to make contact.
