Amelia ran trough the hallway of the city as she yelled sorry as she ran a couple of people over in her heast to get to the infirmary and she came to a holt just out side the doors.

"lass, are you okay. Carson asked as he turned to see her leaning over as she tried to catch her breath.

"Sheppard just told me McKay found an ancient device." She looked up to see McKay standing there with his eyes closed and it looked like he was sweating.

"Ah. You didn´t." Amelia said, shacking her head at the man as she walked over to stand in front of him. She looked down at the device that was stuck on his chest. Amelia reach out her hand to touch it, but as she did a greenish look shield came shimming around him.

"You really did it this time McKay." She told him with a laugh.

"Ah, I am a dead man." McKay said, opening his eyes to look at her

"Come one Sheppard want us to join them in the conference room she said as she pulled him out of the infirmary and down the hallway.

"You read Ancient right?" McKay asked as they walked down a fight of stairs and turned down the hallway that would lead them to the gate room.

"You know i do." She turned her head over her shoulder to see a worried look showing on McKay`s face.

"Wait..." Amelia said as the stopped out side the gate room." Are you telling me.." She pointed to the device." That you didn`t read the text before you put that thing on?" She asked with a laugh, leaning her head to the side because she didn`t need him to give her a answer because the both know the answer.

"No.. I..." McKay hurried into the gat room. Amelia followed behind him as he ran up the stairs and into the conference room and she walked in herself to her McKay call himself a dead man.

Amelia shook her head at him as she turned he head back to listen to what Elisabeth was saying.

Later that night. Amelia was walking down the hall when she heard talking coming from one of the room and she saw a screen. What are we..Oh popcorn." Amelia said with a smile on her face as she pulled up a chair as Ford reach out the bowl to her and she took it gladly as she turned towards the screen as she hears Sheppard say here it comes. Watch this." and she saw they were watching football.

"Flutie is back. Four seconds, three seconds, two seconds, one. Flutie throws. This game is over. Hail Mary. it is caught."

Amelia turned her head to see the joy on Sheppard`s face as he turned to Teyla as he said can you believe that?" And she could see the confucing in Teyla`s eyes as she looked from Sheppard to the screen.

"Should i not?" She asked as she looked back at Sheppard not really knowing what to say before looking towards Amelia for help.

"The defense didn`t think the quarterback could throw that far." Sheppard said as he pointed his hand towards the screen."

"The seem very happy." Teyla said not getting it as she looked back to the screen.

"They won one of the best games of all times against all odds." Sheppard said, eating some more popcorn.

"Flutie won the Heisman." Ford pitched in.

"And the they played in Canada." McKay said with a sad look on his face.

"He played hockey too?" Teyla asked confused towards McKay.

."What are you guys doing?" Elisabeth ask as she walked into the room.

"I am teaching Teyla how Football is the cornerstone of the western civilisation."

"And you didn`t invite me?"

"You like football?" Sheppard as, turning his head to look up at her.

"No, not really."...

"Come on. It`s real, unpredictable, it`s full of passion and beer, hot dogs."

"Cheerleaders." McKay said with a dreamy look on his face.

"I can`t understand. You are allowed one personal item and you chose this." Amelia said as she nodded her head towards the screen.

"It`s a metaphor." Sheppard said as he leaned his over to look at her." This entire expedition is the biggest Hail Mary in human history." Sheppard said as he looked back to the screen.

"Not the biggest Hail Mary." Amelia said with a smile on her face as she put some popcorin in her mouth.

"What is a Hail Mary?" Teyla asked, looking between Amelia and Sheppard.

"It is a play that you just saw." Sheppard said pointing to the screen.

"It`s named after a prayer." Amelia said as she looked towards Teyla.

"There`s this woman." Sheppard continued." And her name is Mary and she... Did i mention how much i like ferris wheels?" Sheppard said as he looked as he turned to Teyla.

Amelia woke as she heard Elisabeth voice coming into her room, she sat up in her head as she heard Elisabeth say out Jinto`s name and when she heard he was missing she jumped out of bed and out of her room in a hurry . She ran down the hall and she saw people was looking at her funny, but she didn`t think anything of it until she ran up the steps and into the control room and she saw all of them given her a double take so she looked down to see she was still in her black hot pants and pink top.

"What?" She asked as she turned around to see two marines staring at her bare lags and one of the marines smiled up at her, but she saw the smile vanished from his face and he turned his head as he looked straight ahead so she turned back to see Sheppard was staring the marine down.

Amelia was just about to open her mouth when she heard Jinto call out above her and she turned down to look at McKay who said by the control panel.

"Jinto!" Sheppard said into his radio.

"Major Sheppard." Jinto said out in a scared voice.

"Where are you?" Sheppard asked.

"I dont know."

"Jinto start from the beginning. Tell us were you are." Elisabeth told him and all of then waited for Jinto to answer.

"I was in the hall out side my quarters." They all turned to leave, but Sheppard turned around to look at her.

"You coming?"

"I think i should change into something else." She told him and she placed her han don her hip as she saw he was looking her up and down.

"The pants are cute." Sheppard said with a smile as he quickly turned and followed after the others.

Amelia hurried back to change into her uniform and as she left her quarters she heard McKay`s voice in her ear." Yes. I am here." She said as she walked down the hall.

"I need you down here." She hears him say and she raised an eyebrow because he sounded happy.

"you need me where?" She asked as she stopped walking because she didn`t know where she was going.

Sometime later in the lab. McKay and her was looking through the ancient text and the found out that the ancient had been doing research on a creature and their eyes when wide as the found out why.

Amelia looked towards the transporter and the door opened and Elisabeth and Sheppard stepped out and walked over to were the stood.

"What did you to find?" Sheppard asked.

"Believe it our not. Jinto didn`t touch anything of any consequence other that that." Pointing his finger over to a device that was sitting on the table, he got out of his chair as he walked over to press a button as it started to light up.

"It must have its own power source like the jumpers." He told them as he moved his hands behind his back, looking over at Amelia with a smile on his face.

"What is it?" Elisabeth asked.

"A containment vessel for the creature." McKay said before Amelia could even open her mouth.

"And Jinto released it?" Sheppard said, looking down at the device.

"It seems that way." McKay said as he held up a finger as he looked down at the device." But as i suggested, the entity`s been causing our technical problems. Now, it was captured for observation. The ancients were researching Ascension."

"Really?" Elisabeth asks, looking between him and Amelia.

"What exactly is Ascension?" Sheppard ask as he turned to Amelia.

"At some point during their evolution, the Ancients reached a stage of being, where they rid themselves of heir bodies and rose to a higher plane, one in which they live as pure energy."

"Yes, but." McKay said, pointing a finger towards Amelia." This is the frist indication that there may have been evolutionary intervention to get there."

"A little gene therapy of their own." Sheppard said, looking down at the device.

"We haven`t read all the notes, but what we do know the entity is energy. It feeds on energy."

"Ford`s lucky to be alive." Amelia said as she looked down at the device before she to a step back.

McKay continued." The more it feeds, the bigger it gets and the more charged and deadly it becomes.

"It is intelligent?" Elisabeth asked.

"According to the research, it is sentient. But you would have more luck talking to a shark."

"You dont know that." Amelia said, turning to look over at McKay

"The thing will suck the power out of our generators and it will kill us all." He said as he looked over at her.

"What do we do about it?" Elisabeth asked as she looked over her should to see Amelia standing more our less behind Sheppard.

"It`s been trapped here since the Ancients left."

"I know i bee pissed." Sheppard said.

"Dont forget about being hungry." Amelia said as she leaned in over Sheppard shoulder to look at it.

"You two done?" McKay asked as she looked toward the two of them with annoyed look on his face before looking back to Elisabeth.

"This device was designed to attract it, capture it and hold it for observation. There is sill a chance we my still be able to get in back inside. I need more time to figure out how we get it back inside." He pointed to the device.

Amelia and Sheppard stood behind Elisabeth as the looked down at the laptop to see the entity going around in cirkles.

"It is not falling for the same tricks anymore." Elisabeth said as she followed the entity on the laptop in front of her.

"How smart is it?" Sheppard as he walked over to stand beside Amelia and ran his fingers up against her.

"Ah. This is much simpler that i thought. It is like a mousetrap. He said as eh pointed to a button on the device." This button makes it emit an energy signature to attract the creature and this one shuts it in." he said as he looked up at them with a worried look on his face." Someone has to press the bottom."

"I am not touching that thing!" Amelia said, holding her hand out in front of her as she backed away from them.

Sheppard turned to see the scared look she was trying to hide." I will do it." He said as he looked back to Elisabeth.

"Okay." McKay said as he turned around, but looking back at both Amelia and Elisabeth call out his name.

"You are still wearing that shield." Elisabeth said.

"Yeah, so?" McKay asked as he looked between the two woman.

" What Elisabeth means." Amelia said walking over closer to him." If something went wrong, the shield would protect you, right?" She ask as she looked down to see the greenish color on the device when away and they all looked down to see it landed in the palm of McKay`s hand.

"Ah." Amelia said as say the smile that came to McKay`s face as he pulled out a candy from the pocked of his jacked and eat it with a smile on his face.

"I had a feeling." Elisabeth said, looking towards Amila before the both looks down at the device.

"What do you mean? Has a feeling about what?" McKay asked as he eat more of the candy.

"You think i wanted it to come off?. I am not scared. i will do this." McKay told Elisabeth as he walked closer to her.

"No. No. That is okay. you might faint again." Sheppard told him.

McKay looked towards Amelia before looking back at Elisabeth and Sheppard. "It`s just not working any more. look" He said as he leaned in over Elisabeth to place the device on Sheppard chest." See. It dont work on you either."

"I just meant it wasn`t about to let you die." Elisabeth said as she looked over at him.

"It is a coincidence that it stopped working now. McKay said as he let his arms fall down to his side in..." I need a drik."

"Go." Sheppard told him.

"Are you sure, you want to do this?" Amelia asked, turning around to look at Sheppard with worry in her eyes."

Amelia walked down the hallway and she had the feeling like someone was following her so she turned around, but there was no on there. She shook her head, turning back around and her eyes wide with fear as she saw the dark shadow coming to ours her. The shadow came to our her and she didn`t know why, but she held out her hands in front of herself and as the shadow touch the tip of her finger, she saw a bright white light between her and the shadow.

"What the bloody hell!" She hears a voice say.

Amelia turned her head to the side to see Carson, standing there blinking his eyes like he didn`t believe what he was seeing, she turned her head back to see the shadow was truing to move around her.

"Dont!" Still holding out her hands as she moved in it path.

"What just happened?" Carson asked as he pointed his finger towards the shadow as it turned back the way it came.

"Carson." She turned around to look at the man." I think there is something wrong with me."

"I think we need to tell Dr Weir what just happened." Carson said as he moved his finger op to touch his earpiece.

"No. Dont!" Amelia said as she touch moved his hand away from his ear and she saw he looked at her like she was crazy.

"You cant tell Elisabeth our anyone what just happened." She begged him.

"This is not the first time something like this has happened ?"

"No." Amelia ran the back of her hand against her forehead." Remember that day we found the hologram of the woman." She asked him and Carson nodded his head so she continued." When you guys left another woman appeared and she told me i was in danger."

"What kind of danger?"

"I dont know. But i have a feeling i should not have come here." Amelia told Carson.

Amelia hears Carson let out a sigh as he moved his arms around her as he smiled up at her." Let talk." He said as the walked down the hallway.

Later that night. Thing had calmed down, the entity was gone and Jinto was safe so people when about there way. Doing what ever the need to do.

"Amelia...wait!" She turned around to see Sheppard running down the hall to catch up with her.

"Yes." she looked it with a smile as he came to a stop in front of her.

"So." Sheppard said as he ran a nervous hand down the back of his neck as he looked at her.

"What is it?" Amelia asked as she turned to see people was looking at them as the walked by.

"Have dinner with me."

"I though we were going to dinner?" She pointed a finger towards the mess hall.

"No...Yes.. I mean just the two of us."

"You mean like a date?" She asked, taking a step closer to Sheppard.

"You are licking this a bit to much?" Sheppard asks with a smile.

"Maybe?" she smiled at him.

"So?"

"Yes, i would like to have dinner with you." She said as she turned on her feet and walked towards the mess hall, turning in the door way to look at Sheppard before walking in.
