"Rodney, why arent we dialing out?" Sheppard called out, covering their six. "I'm still realigning the crystals! This is very sensi..". Sheppard cut him off. "We dont have time! Get us out of here now!"
Behind Rodney smattering sounds cut through the air as Sheppards P90 went off, sending a wraith scout tumbling down the hillside. "Damnit!" roday growled, looking through the pockets in his vest. "What now?!". McCay couldnt misread the tone of Johns voice, knowing that he were being serious. "I need fixture for the crystals! That or one of us are going to have to stay behind to hold the crystals in place!".
Sending another wraith flying down the dirty hill side, John turned around. "What about chewing gum?".
"You want me to fix ancient power crystals with chew...actually that might work."
John spit out the chewing gum, handing it to Rodney. Quickly he reached his arm deep into the DHD console, sticking the gum to the underside of the crystals and sticking them back into their ports. "There!".
Swiftly punching in the Atlantis symbols, there was a moments delay and the bright blue energy vortex came flushing forward. For a brief moment the event horizon shimmered blue, then for the fraction of a second, it faded out then back in again.
"what the.."
"Who gives a crap?" Sheppard shouted, barely dodging a wraith stunner, grabbing McCay by his vest and jumping through the gate.
