Disclaimer: I do not own any of the original Stargate Atlantis or SG-1 characters. However, even though I do not technically own any of the new characters, they are 100% creations of my imagination.
Author's Note: This is only the premise of the story. Chapters will follow, particularly if interest is generated. Also, in order for the story to develop, I had to make some pairings. Hopefully no one is too angry about various pairings. Comments, questions, and advice very welcome.

New Character Summaries:
Dr. Meredith Rose McKay, PhD in Astrophysics, Computer Science, and Ancient Technology: Daughter of the great Dr. Meredith Rodney McKay and Dr. Jennifer Keller, Meredith followed in her father's footsteps and also became the first student to graduate with a degree in Ancient Technology. A little arrogant like her father, she is humbled by her mother's kindness that spread to her. Light brown hair with hints of blonde, blue eyes, favors her mother. Age 26.
Lieutenant John Emmagan Sheppard, PhD in Military Technology and Applied Sciences: Son of General John Sheppard and Teyla Emmagan, John has all the flamboyance of his father, strength and wisdom of his mother, and intelligence from both. Dark hair, green-hazel eyes, looks almost exactly like his father, but with darker skin, courtesy of his mother. Age 26.
Torren John Emmagan, Masters in Humanities, minor in Psychology: Son of Teyla Emmagan and Kanaan, Torren has an unnaturally powerful form of The Gift which allows him to experience cases of precognition. Due to his dark skin and dark hair, as well as general disposition, many members of the Stargate Program are reminded of Teal'c, who is also his mentor. Dark hair, skin like Teyla's, favors his mother but with his father's hair. Age 31.
Major Jack O'Neill IV, PhD in Intelligence, Command Control and Information Operations of Military Stargate Operations: Son of General Jack O'Neill and General Samantha Carter, Jack is preparing to take a leading role in the Stargate Program in the future. Known for his wit and intelligence parallel to his dad's, he is widely respected for his age. Blonde hair, blue eyes, has father's nose and chin. Age 30.
Special Operative Westley Dex, PhD in Covert Operations: Son of Ronon Dex and Amelia Banks, Westley has all of the snarkiness of his namesake from the Princess Bride, all the abruptness of his father, and all the fighting talent of his parents. This may have led to a developing arrogant side of him. Interned with the FBI at a young age, thus granting him advanced positions and special privileges usually associated with an operative of older age. Blonde hair (though no one knows why), hazel eyes, does not mirror parents, tall. Age 28.
Special Operative Araden Dex, PhD in Covert Operations, Ancient Technology: Daughter of Ronon Dex and Amelia Banks, Araden has all the quiet intelligence of her mother, intensity of her father, and fighting skills of them both. This may have led to a developing arrogant side of her. Like her older brother, she interned with the FBI at a young age, thus granting her advanced positions and special privileges usually associated with an operative of older age. Almost exactly mirrors her mother, with dark hair and green eyes, but only a few inches shorter than her father. Age 26.
Dr. Tera Mal Doran, PhD in Astromedicine, Major in Linguistics: Daughter of Dr. Daniel Jackson and Vala Mal Doran, Tera spent many years of her youth helping her father in his studies, but ultimately became one of the first students to receive a PhD in Astromedicine, or medicine pertaining to diseases and treatments beyond Earth. Tera is most unlike her father, instead favoring her mother's mischievous nature, but can be serious when needed. She also favors her mother's looks almost exactly, with black hair and green eyes, often people mistakenly call her Vala. Age 27.
