He then walked out, saying something about having to talk to Dr Weir. This meant she was alone, with only her thoughts for company. If what she'd seen was Atlantis, then maybe what she'd been told was true. Maybe she was in a different galaxy. Her thoughts continued until, finally, Dr Beckett returned with Dr Weir in tow.
"Alice," she started, "Carson here tells me you've been having some strange dreams."
Alice nodded,
"I'm actually in a different galaxy?" She asked timidly.
"Yes." Replied Dr Weir,
"Can I see?"
Dr Weir smiled at this, and Alice wasn't sure if she was happy, or laughing at her.
"Carson?" she asked, "Is she ready to be discharged."
Dr Beckett didn't seem quite as happy, about the idea,
"I suppose." He said slowly, "But she hasn't got any clothes, unless you want her running around in her pyjamas."
Dr Weir considered this for a moment, then finally spoke,
"When I packed to come here, I basically just shoved as many clothes as I could into my bag. I didn't even check the sizes, I'm sure I'll be able to find you something."
As she said this, she slowly made her way away from the bed, and by the time she'd finished, she was gone.
When she returned, she had: a pair of black trousers and a plain white T-shirt, along with some underwear, socks and black shoes.
"I know it's not exactly the height of fashion." She said with a smile, as she dropped them on the bed, "But I'm sure they'll do."
"Thanks." Alice said, pulling back the sheets and getting out of bed.
She was slightly unsteady on her feet, then again, she hadn't stood up in…
Actually she had no idea what time it was, or how long she'd been here.
"What time is it?" She asked, feeling stupid,
"It's about 9 am." Replied Dr Weir, then seeing Alice's bemused expression started to explain, "This planet still has the same 24hr sun and moon cycle. So the time is the same as on earth."
"Oh ok." Alice said, as Dr Weir went out, shutting the door, and she began to change.
She pulled off her pyjamas, then began to pull on the clean underwear and socks, meanwhile Dr Weir was still on the other side of the door,
"Well technically," she said, her voice slightly muffled by the wood, "there are 3 moons, but we still only have the 1 sun."
"Oh." Replied Alice, as she pulled on the trousers, "What's it like here?" she asked,
"Amazing." Replied Dr Weir, "I still get surprised by this place."
As she finished changing, Dr Weir's voice took on a more serious tone,
"Once I've showed you around, you have to come back here. Dr Beckett will want to run some tests."
"I thought he'd run the tests when I first woke up." Alice said, remembering the blood tests, eye examinations, and who knows what else.
"Those were just basic." Dr Weir told her, "They need to be more extensive now you've had that dream."
"Ok."
Alice pulled open the door, and walked out, she hadn't seen herself, but she was sure she didn't look that bad.
"They fit ok?" Dr Weir, asked,
She nodded.
"Good. Lets get going then." So they set off together.
They walked for about a minute , when Dr Weir stopped.
"Look out the window." She told Alice, nodding towards the great, glass panel beside them.
Alice frowned, but did it anywhere. Pressing her eyes close to the glass. She was amazed.
Outside it was just like her dream, but better. There were huge towers made of glass, which glistened in the sunlight. The place was surrounded by calm ocean, the waves gently moving back and forth.
"Wow." She said, not being able to think of anything better.
"I know." Replied Dr Weir,
She started walking again, and Alice quickly caught her up.
They walked through many different passageways, each strange and unique. However they weren't the only ones, other people also walked by. They were all different genders, ages and races, all in a different uniforms. As they passed them by, the people turned their heads to see them, this made Alice feel very self conscious, she probably stuck out like saw thumb.
"We came here on an expedition from earth." Dr Weir explained as they walked on, "This city was once inhabited by a race of people; called Ancients. They were amazing, they built this whole place themselves, and created some of the most advanced technology ever made."
"What happened?" Alice asked, although she guessed she already knew the answer,
"There was a war." She replied, "Against a race called "The Wraith" the ancients were losing, they were way out-numbered. So, using technology called "A Stargate" they transported themselves to earth, but not before making sure the city was safe. They submerged it under water, and it wasn't touched for thousands of years."
She paused, and smiled slightly,
"Then we came along through the Stargate, and bought the city back to the surface. Unfortunately we don't have enough power to dial Earth and get back. There's scientists, military soldiers, doctors and lots of other people living here."
