THE AWAKENING

"Ah yes, 3 moons, and lots of trees," Rodney McKay panted as he reached the top of the escarpment where the rest of his team was already enjoying the view.
"Quit complaining McKay, this place isn't that bad when you think about it." John Shepherd shot back.
Teyla merely smiled, "Of all the planets I have ever been to, this one is by far the most beautiful. Where did you say you found the address Rodney?"
"Oh, I uh, well actually I didn't find it."
"Really?" Ronan finally spoke.
"No, Col. Carter received a message from Dr. Daniel Jackson a few weeks ago. Apparently a recent discovery in Greece included some writing in Ancient. It described a planet, or some undisclosed location, that was supposed to be the 'resting place of future power.'"
"Guns?" Ronan said with a smirk beginning to stretch across his face.
John looked slightly amused, "Or how about a big button that says 'Push to destroy all wraith and replicators.'"
Rodney snorted in disgust, "It didn't really say, that's why we waited to come here. All the archeologists couldn't make out the references that were being made. But I'm starting to think that whatever was here is long gone. I haven't gotten any significant readings since I stepped through the gate."
Hitching his gear up, John addressed them all, "OK, we'll head back, send a team of history dweebs back to check it out, see if anything matches the cryptic message from the past."
What Rodney didn't know was that there had been a huge energy spike just prior to his arrival. As soon as Shepherd had stepped through the gate, several meters below the surface, something had been awoken. A small chamber resembling a mausoleum suddenly filled with light that seemed to come from nowhere. In the center of the room, something that resembled a sarcophagus slid open. Had anyone been there they would have been shocked to find what was inside. The large chamber was filled with water, and resting at the bottom, was the body of a young woman. Visibly she was no older than her early twenties in her face and body, but the hair that swirled around her face was like silver waves. Suddenly a light burst filled the watery tomb and her eyes shot open as if awoken from a nightmare. They were so crystal blue that they resembled the event horizon as it ripples. Realizing that she was under water, she flailed wildly until she breached the surface, choking on what she had obviously breathed in when she awoke. She was very weak as she pulled herself out of her watery prison, her dress much like that of the ancient statues of Greece and Rome clung cumbersomely to her body as she finally crumpled to the ground still coughing. Out of the corner of her eye she caught the glint of a necklace strewn on the floor. She managed to gain her footing and went to inspect it. As she leaned over and began to pick it up, she was encircled by a ring transporter that brought her to the surface. Completely caught off guard, she fell to the ground, clutching the necklace to her chest. Still wet, she was now plastered with leaf litter and debris. She stood up, completely unaware of her surroundings, and in a state of fear.
