Sorry it is so short and all, I'll try to have a longer chapter out within a week.
Poking A Sleeping Dragon
Part 2
"You Do Not Belong Here." the alien voice said again.
Samantha flinched when she told her operations officer to respond, the man nodded when the channel opened. This was it, this would either get them blown right out of space, or allowed to leave.
"This is Colonel Carter of the Earthship Hammond, we apologize, but we had no choice, the wraith was attacking us and we need room to fight back." Lame excuse, but whatever, the whole ship sucked in a deep breath waiting for a response.
"You are from the Sol System, Earth?" the voice said, causing Rodney and Sam to look at the one of the largest ships that was still in their line of sight. The two scientists looked at each other; both had looks of excitement plastered on their faces.
"That is right; may I ask how you know that?" Sam asked. Rodney had come up to stand right beside her.
"Foolish false Gods, playing with lives of mere children on a planet barely out of its infant stage, yes we have been to your world." The alien voice said with new gravel to his voice. "We are the ones that chased away those false gods that prayed upon the young." the voice kept getting more and more gravel as the transmission continued.
Sam started to feel a little uncomfortable, she was about to respond when her ship alarms started going off, and out of no where eight wraith cruisers came from all sides and started firing rapidly. The smaller alien ships started racing forward firing back, but the darts came after them with a vengeance and they started destroying the smaller ships. The larger ships came close to the Hammond as if to protect it from enemy fire, but the cruisers fired on all three ships.
Samantha started directing fire to the cruisers, Rodney stood stunned as one of the larger ships was on fire and exploded, pushing the Hammond further away and into the last of the larger ship causing massive damage. The few remaining smaller ships tried to reach it's mothership only arriving too late as the last large ship was destroyed knocking the bridge crew of the Hammond to the floor.
"Report?" Sam asked picking herself up from the floor. She held her right arm close to her chest as the operations officer spoke.
"Damage to all decks, shields offline, weapons offline," the officer said as he looked at the readings on his monitor.
"Rodney." Sam called out seeing Sheppard run across the bridge to get to the fallen man, Sheppard gently rolled Rodney over seeing that he had burns to his face and arms and he was out cold.
"Colonel Look!" the helm's officer said pointing to the screen. One of the wraith cruisers was chasing the last remaining smaller alien ship and they were coming directly at them. Sam squeezed her eyes shut and waited for impact. If the small ship didn't destroy them then the wraith cruiser would.
The ship jolted to the left, making some of the bridge crew falter slightly, but remaining upright. Samantha opened her eyes and gasped as they were looking at the planet that Atlantis was holding on. But that was not the only thing that got her attention; it was the woman that was now standing on the bridge looking totally out of place. She dropped to the floor as if her strings were cut and before Sam could get to her she faded away, only leaving one item in her place.
Sam reached for it and picked it up looking at it with amazement. Sheppard was still beside Rodney and he just stared at what was in her hand, she knew that she had the attention of the bridge crew.
In her hand was a long white feather…
