As Jennifer walked down the corridor headed back to the infirmary Teyla rounded the corner and caught up to her. "Dr. Keller do you have a minute to talk?" Teyla asked.

"Yes Teyla, what's wrong? Are you feeling ok?" asked Dr. Keller

"Yes I am Fine but I was wondering if you could offer me some advice on relationships" responded Teyla.

"I'm not sure how much help I'll be Teyla, My relationship knowledge is kind of limited, Remember I was usually much younger then my classmates and well Rodney isn't exactly your normal guy" she said as she kind of chuckled remembering Rodney's charm that she loved.

"Well since we have been back on Earth I find that Kanaan has been growing distant, I know he misses our people and worries for them. I do as well but with no way back I am unsure as to how worrying about it so strongly can do anything but make matters worse." Teyla said.

"Well I'm sure he feels homesick and I understand since when I first got to Atlantis I felt alone and isolated. I mean I was in a whole other galaxy with no family or friends around" answered Keller.

"But you made friends quickly with everyone on the base, Kanaan just sits in the room and cares for Torran but he only goes out to get food and to train in the gym. I try to ask him what's wrong but he just simply tells me he misses home and that is the end of the conversation" said Teyla

"Sounds to me that he just misses home and while he has you and Torran, he just doesn't have anyone else to talk to and maybe getting involved in some group activities would help" responded Keller.

"Thank You Jennifer" Teyla said and began to walk back to her quarters to meet up with Kanaan. Upon arriving back at her room she entered to see Kanaan holding Torran as he was asleep. She tried to talk to him and get him to open up but again he shut down and walked away from her. In her frustration she walked out and went down to the south-west pier. She stood on the balcony looking over at the Golden Gate Bridge and all the lights crossing it. This was far from the quiet worlds of Pegasus that she was used to. She lost track of time and when she got back Kannan and Torran were both asleep. She changed into her nightgown and crawled into bed with Kannan. As she drifted off to sleep she prayed for things to get better. The following morning she had slept through her alarm and John had to come get her up so they wouldn't be late for their mission. He waited as she quickly showered and geared up and when she talked out of her quarters he said "Rough night?"

"Yes I was restless because of Kanaan" she responded.

"Well look on the bright side we have an unknown planet to explore and who knows what could be there. Maybe something dangerous" he said with a smirk. They headed to the gate room where the Apollo beamed them to the first level of the SGC where they would take an elevator down to the briefing room. John missed the Atlantis uniforms but at least the SGC had switched to the respective branches camo. Everyone now downed the air force's camo uniforms except for Ronan which kept to his usual attire. They sat through the briefing that General Landry provided about the mission which was a basic recon to search for Naquadah. Earth was trying to find more Naquadah and trinium for construction of more 304 class ships. After the briefing the team headed down to the armory to gear up. Ronan had started to carry a P90 and 9mm pistol since he knew he trademark sidearm would eventually run out of energy so he used it only when needed. With the emerging threat of the Lucian Alliance all SG teams started to carry heavier weapons. While Teyla carried the standard P90 and 9mm pistol she also carried a UMP 45 for extra knockdown power. Even Rodney carried a MP5 in automatic pistol form along with the P90 and 9mm pistol. For John being home had a few advantages such as being able to have as many weapons as he wanted. He decided that a little extra weight might be worth it in case of emergency so he carried his P90 on his vest with two .45 1911 Pistols on his thigh and one in his vest. He also carried a M4 with a 203 grenade launcher with a 4x sight. For long distance threats he carried the new M1110 sniper rifle. Ronan would also carry a M60 machine gun if the MALP detected any kind of life that might be a threat. Sheppard looked at Ronan and said "Ready Chewie?" and laughed as he walked by and tapped him on the shoulder.

"You know Sheppard I'd prefer to be back in Pegasus killing Wraith and not searching for minerals and other useless things" responded Ronan.

"I know how ya feel buddy but until we can find a way back without draining the ZPM's were stuck" responded Sheppard.

"This may sound strange but I miss it too" chimed in Rodney. They walked into the Gateroom as the gate was dialing for P4A-571. The wormhole engaged and the team turned to look at General Landry in the control room.

"AR-1 you have a go, good luck" said the General. With that the team headed through the gate. After arriving on P4A-571 the team radioed back to Stargate Command that the planet seemed quiet and that they'd radio back in 24 hours. Back on Earth Richard Woolsey was finding his job of getting Atlantis space worthy again a boring task. After all the ancients had built this great city and now the SGC was adding rail gun emplacements as well as Asgard Plasma Beam Weapon platforms as a way to defend against attack in case the drones ran out. They were also adding Naquadah generators around the city so that the ZPM's would power just the shield and weapons. Radek was put in charge of the upgrades to make sure they would function properly. Not shortly there after AR-1 left for their mission, the Apollo left orbit to meet up with the General Hammond. That left only the Daedalus in orbit while the Odyssey was away on a top secret mission that only General Landry and General O'Neil knew about.
