Chp. 1
"I must say your offer is intriging, but our people have never ventured into the Ancients ruins, we fear it may bring the Wraith upon us."
Major John Sheppard tried to seem remotely interested in what Ambassador Kelm was saying. He'd learned early on to let Teylahandle all the trading negotiations. Lt. Aiden Ford sat across from him at the long wooden table. The young Lieutenant was still learning to hide his true feelings when it came to sitting in on admittedly boring trade negotiations, which meant you could tell he was. McKay looked all out impatient, John could even hear his foot tapping underneath the table. He gave the scientist a look.
Upon arriving on the little planet McKay had picked up on some minor energy readings. When they found its source he'd gotten all excited on them, which with McKay, included a lot of fast talking on how desperately they needed ZPM's(or ZedPMs in his case) in an attempt to convince Sheppard to let them have a look. John didn't need much convincing, McKay wasn't the only one who knew how badly Atlantis was in need of a new power source, and these ruins seemed vary promising. At least form what they could make out. Spears, not unlike the ones on Atlantis, could be seen bearly above the tree line.
Unfortunately the locals weren't to keen on letting them. As they'd began there trek over to check it out, a man driving a cart pulled by a large animal-it looked a lot like a horse with rams horns-stopped them. Whether it was intentional or not, they were about to find out.
"Greetings." He lept down from the drivers seat. Thin, he wore a lose fitting white shirt and brown leggings.
"Greetings." Teylarepeated politely, smiling.
He approached them with obvious caution, but returned her friendly smile.
"You came through the portal?" He questioned.
"Yeah we did." John slipped in, making sure the man knew to address him as well as Teyla. For the moment he wasn't sure what the mans intentions were, and he wasn't about to let Teyla take over until he knew what was up.
"Than you have come to trade?"
"Actually uh we're more interestedin that." McKay and his big mouth said, sounding impatient to move on. He gestured at the ruins in the distance.
"The Ancient ruins-but-it is forbidden." The man said, eyes wide with terror.
"Forbidden? Great." McKay grumbled loudly. John sent him a look but Rodney as usual ignored him.
Teyla glanced at Sheppard as if to confirm that it was ok to handle this. He gave the briefest of nods.
"What is your name?" She asked politely.
"Talen, you should not go there, it is forbidden." He insisted.
"We understand, do you have a leader we may speak with?"
They'd ridden in the back of the mans kart to the village he called Tarn, to meet Ambassador Kelm. John thought the kart had smelled suspiciously like manure.
McKay grumbled the whole way, saying something along the lines that the universe must be working against them.
"Relax McKay, Im sure we can work something out." John reassured him.
Now it seemed that they were on the verge of that. It had taken nearly an hour and a half, but Teyla now seemed to be gaining some ground. They'd-well Teyla really-had mentioned that they could provide medical attention, when Kelm had asked what this meant, the explanation he was given seemed to intrigue him.
"We have many sick people, ill from a plant we did not know would cause us harm." Kelm had explained.
"Dr. Beckett will be willing to look at them I am sure." Teylahad said with a smile, leading up to the current moment.
Kelm stood from his spot at the head of the table, hands clasped behind his back. "Still I think I should discuss this with the town council, it is a dangerous decision for us."
Sheppard took this time to step in.
"Actually we should discuss this with our, leader, too maybe we'll come back tomorrow." He suggested, which caused Rodney to make an odd sound, at which John proceed to glare at him for. The physicists folded his arms with a huff.
"That sounds reasonable Major, thank you." Kelm replied with a smile, then turned to Teyla.
"Thank you Ambassador." He nodded at her reply smiling still.
"Until then Teyla, Major." He gave a respective nod to everyone else.
The team stood, John returning the nod with a half smile.
"Well that seemed like a big waste of time." Rodney grumbled as they headed back to the 'gate.
"I believe we have made progress, Kelm appears to be vary intrigued by the prospect of medical help." Teyla pointed out.
"Yes well-"
"We're going to check it out now McKay, relax." John interrupted.
"What really?" Rodney said with surprise.
"Is that wise Major?" Teyla asked with concern.
"We're just gonna have a quick look around, make sure this place is worth it." He looked back at her. "We'll be gone before they know it."
Ambassador Kelm watched the strangers leave his village form the window of the small cottage. "Leave me." He said without looking at the two villagers who had served as guards against the strangers. They left without question. Kelm sighed heavily after they had gone. He walked back to the head of the table, taking a seat. Slowly he removed a small device form his inside pocket. A red light gleamed on it and, with a reluctant look on his face, he pushed a button on it and spoke.
"This is Ambassador Kelm, I wish to speak to the leader, of the Genii."
They encountered no one to and from the ruins. It did look promising though, with a fairly large building in which McKay enthusiastically announced the power source was coming from.
"It dose look of Ancient design." Teyla said looking at it with suppressed awe.
"Ok lets report back to Weir, I think we're gonna need help exploring this place." John said scanning the fairly large structure. He had to admit, despite the fact that it had a few ivy like plants growing up its walls it did look rather promising. That and the fact that it didn't seem to have been damaged by the Wraith.
"Hold on, aren't we at least gonna have a look inside." Rodney said dejectedly.
"No, we're going to head back to Atlantis first, now lets go." John insisted. With a roll of his eyes Rodney followed.
"The Major is right doctor, we do not want the villagers to notice our presence here, it would be wise to come back after we have finished our trade agreement." Teyla pointed out. Rodney continued to grumble under his breath though not seeming vary convinced.
John doubted he was gonna allow a few superstitious farmers to stop them from having a look, but then again that was up to Elizabeth.
As they headed back to the 'gate, they didn't notice the man watching them a little ways away form within the forest.
A/N Well the ship is underway, and she's heading towards an iceberg! The only way to save it is if you review! Go easy on me though or I might not be nice enough to put up the next chapter. Oh and uh I'm looking for a beta message me or put it in your review if your interested!
