"At Least Knock First Before You Coming Flying Through the Gate"
– Part One of Preventative, Yet Desperate Measures
The enemy was getting closer to the central tower and the shield was failing, fast. As weapons fire started to get through the shield there was a voice that rose above the tentative and scared voices in the gate room. "Rina we need to evacuate now!" Torren shouted to the woman on the balcony of the control room above him. "I don't give a damn if the interface is done or not just get your ass down here so we can get the hell out of here! … NOW Rina!"
"Torren if I don't finish this interface we will have nowhere to go to! Atlantis will be blown to hell and back either way so just get ready!" Rina shouted back down to the waiting Athosian below her. "Carson, Mer, please grab your stuff and get down there now I'll initialize the dialing sequence and make sure the connection stays secure until the last second when I'll follow everyone through okay?"
"Rina, please-"Meredith began to say before her brother cut her off with a simple "Yes ma'am."
As the twins made it down the stairs into the gate room, Rina shouted "Starting dialing sequence now!" and started dialing an address that hadn't been dialed in years.
The stargate address to Earth.
...
Chuck's voice rang through the Atlantis gate room, "Unscheduled off world activation!"
Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard walked across the gang plank that connected Woolsey's office to the control room and asked, "So Chuck, what's it say on the caller id?"
A look of confusion came across Chuck's face as he answered the Colonel, "Uh, Sir, it's the address for Lantea, but how can-" but was interrupted as the shield to the gate dropped.
"Get that shield back up now!" ordered Colonel Sheppard.
"Sir, the shield won't go back up! I'm trying everything but it's not responding. There is some kind of jamming program coming through that is preventing the shield from reactivating."
The Colonel's head was spinning as he remembered a similar program that McKay had written years ago when the Replicators had invaded the city. They had used it to gain access to the city and blow up the majority of the central tower. Not an ideal situation at the moment he realized and started shouting for McKay over the radio.
…
"The wormhole is established and holding steady. The program for the shield has been uploaded." With a pause to see if their lifeline would work the program signaled a completion. "It's down! Start moving through that gate now!" Rina shouted at the mass of people below her.
A blast hit the side of tower and rubble started to rain down on the evacuees. "Get down here now Rina! This won't hold for long!" Torren shouted.
"I know that. Get through the gate Torren, I will be right behind you, I'm setting the self-destruct now. Just go!"
"I'm not leaving without you!"
"Torren get them through. I promise I'm coming but this self-destruct will go off in a matter of seconds so go on through. I'll make it just go!"
"I love you," he said as he stepped through the gate.
"I love you too babe," she replied as she watched him step through the gate.
Well that's the last of them, so let's set this baby to go, she thought to herself as the city she called home crumbled around her. Rina set the self-destruct for five seconds and clicked enter. She felt the blast behind her as she stepped through the gate.
…
"We have incoming travelers!" Chuck announced as the first of these "travelers" came through.
The first came into the gate room shouting "Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" which was odd, or seemed odd to Colonel Sheppard as he raced down the stairs. How could he have known what he and these other people were walking into?
This guy, probably around twenty-four Sheppard thought, started voicing loudly with a bit of a familiar Scottish accent "Please don't shoot, we hav' women and children about to come through, not the mention many of them are injured!" Taking a breath, he kept going on and right as he started to repeat himself people started pouring though the stargate. Sheppard thought to himself, Ok, this is getting crazier and crazier.
"Everyone stand down. Major Lorne, you and your team help move these people away from the gate now!" Sheppard shouted above the chaos.
Lorne replied, "Yes, Sir. Okay, Johnson and Stabler move these people to either side of the gate. Hale go help Dr. Keller with getting those medical supplies in here ASAP."
The flow of refugees ceased almost as fast as it began, but the gate didn't shut off.
The guy, who had asked for a cease fire, screamed across to another pair across the wave of people as he applied pressure to another young woman's head wound "Where are they?"
"He wouldn't leave without her. She was arming the self-destruct when Carson and I step-" the young woman was trying to say as a man came soaring out of the gate straight above the stairs and right through the balcony window.
"Oh bloody 'ell…" the young man, who appeared to be a doctor, rushed up the stairs two at a time mumbling after the flying guy.
"The wormhole is becoming unstable and starting to disengage Colonel!" Chuck shouted right as a young woman came flying in as well. Immediately after the girl came through the gate's shield raised blocking what seemed like an explosion followed by the gate shutting down.
What the hell is going on here? Sheppard asked himself as he ran over to the girl now sprawled across the gate room stairs. She was actually kind of good looking, he thought. Long curly brown hair, petite, and slightly tan. Concentrate John, this is no time for Captain Kirk. At least make sure she's alive first. Stooping down he checked her pulse, Yup, she's alive. But I don't see ho-" His thought was interrupted as her eyes popped open.
"Hey, are you alright? You took quiet a fall there." Sheppard asked this unknown girl.
"Holy Hannah it worked," the girl breathed. A second later she stood up and started looking around, when she saw the broken window just above her. Her light blue eyes grew in fear. "Oh no," she whispered as she took off up the stairs.
"Hey now just wait a minute!" Sheppard said as he raced up after this odd girl. She shouldn't even be standing after coming through the gate like that.
"Liam, what's going on?" this girl asked the guy with the accent. That's a little funny considering Beckett just had a kid named – hold up a sec, this couldn't' be that kid. Could it? Sheppard pondered in his mind as the girl started to try and wake up the flying guy.
"Torren? Torren! Please wake up!" she was pleading to this guy on the floor.
"Wait, wait, wait! Are you telling me that this guy is Torren? As in Torren John Emmagan? That can't be poss-"Sheppard tried asking.
"Please shut up!" the girl directed at Sheppard then turned to Liam saying, "His brain is swelling from the crash, please I have to do this, but if I can't…"
"I know what to do luv, just do it. We cannot lose him."
Then Sheppard saw something he never thought he'd see again. The girl positioned her hands over the flying guy's body and they, that is her hands, started to glow. He had seen it once before when Rodney McKay had healed Radek Zelenka, but that would mean she has to be genetically altered towards ascension.
Again, what the hell is going on here? He thought as he watched the cuts and scrapes disappear on the flying guy as he began to regain consciousness.
"Rina?" the flying guy/Torren said groggily as he awoke. Then he realized what was happening and raised his voice considerably, yelled "Stop Rina!" managing to get the girl to come back to reality it seemed.
Sheppard eyed the two and then turned around to look at the rest of the refugees. There were about thirty or so in all. God, this is going to be a mountain of paperwork and explaining to the IOA, he thought. Turning his attention back on the three people next to him, this Liam-maybe-Beckett's-kid, a maybe-Torren-flying-guy, and the girl who could heal he said, "Okay kiddos we need to talk."
