Half Breed

Part 1

Chapter 1

There had been a multitude of stressful days on Atlantis already, and Mr. Richard Woolsey had only acquired command of the Lost City for three months as of yet. Furthermore, it was rare for him to get the opportunity to do what he was doing now- standing on the balcony, staring out into the seemingly endless waters of Atlantis. It was so peaceful, and it was a time Richard felt was given only to him. He embraced the moment by closing his eyes for three seconds until bitter reality finally struck him.

"Unauthorized off-world activation," Chuck's voice radioed throughout the city.

Mr. Woolsey ran as fast as he could to the main control center. As soon as he arrived there, Chuck informed him that it appeared to be Colonel Sheppard's IDC.

"When were Colonel Sheppard, Teyla, and Rodney due back from MX5-4362," Richard hurriedly inquired.

"At least not for another four hours," answered Chuck.

"Let them through," Richard ordered. Chuck did just that and John, Rodney and Teyla came out of the gate, apparently unharmed.

Mr. Woolsey walked to them and asked, "What happened? You three were not due back for another-"

"Four hours. We know, but something came up," interrupted Dr. Rodney McKay.

"The wraith have invaded MX5-4362, which is known to the people there as Xzanar. From what we were told, it was a peaceful planet until we arrived. And…they don't seem to want us back," Colonel John Sheppard mentioned to Woolsey.

Richard was about to say something in response when Rodney argued, "Don't forget to mention the wraith were probably tracking us, Sheppard."

John shot Rodney an agitated look and replied, "That's entirely speculation, Rodney. We don't know that!"

"Yeah, well I think there is a pretty damn good chance of it," McKay frustratingly said.

"Wait, wait…," Mr. Woolsey began. "Let's back track here for a second: you are saying the wraith have invaded Xzanrath…er…whatever they call that planet when they were never touched by them before. However, Rodney is claiming the wraith knew of your whereabouts due to some tracking device?"

"That's correct, except I don't agree with Rodney that it was a tracking device that gave away the planet's destination," John answered.

"Oh, please," exclaimed Rodney. "If it wasn't a tracking device, then what could it have been?"

"First of all, Rodney, there's nothing to disprove the idea the wraith just happened to show up-"

"Bu-," McKay attempted to interrupt, but Sheppard gestured for Rodney to stop talking.

"But I will agree with you on one thing- that would seem highly unlikely." John looked at Woolsey and continued by saying, "Mr. Woolsey, I believe the wraith found the Xzanarians because, even though Rodney investigated this and believes it has no relevance to the situation whatsoever, their ZPM power has decreased and their shields have stopped working. This, of course, makes them vulnerable to the wraith."

"We will discuss this more during our debriefing, which will be in an hour," Richard said.

"Alright," replied John.
