Chapter Six
"How is she Carson?" John asked as he walked into the infirmary. After a hurried Jumper ride back to Atlantis, Carson and Jennifer had wasted no time in getting their newest patient situated.
"Alive, and she'll more than likely stay that way." Carson explained. "Her stats are rising steadily, and so far there's no sign of permanent damage; physical or mental."
"Good," John said. "I sent a couple of marines out to get Samhain and bring her back. Zelanka's assured me that she's not vital to the readying of the cannons, and I think it'd be a good idea for her to see her mother first."
"Aye, it would be." Carson agreed with a smile. "Have you seen Jennifer around? Rodney wanted to ask her something, and they went somewhere to talk. That was two hours ago."
"No, but I'll find out where they are." John assured him. The first place he checked was the science labs, but no luck. Next he checked the mess halls, their respective quarters, and even the training room. Finally he headed up to the control room.
"Have you seen Rodney and Dr. Keller?" John asked the technician on duty.
"Yes sir, they took a puddle jumper to P2X-337 about an hour and a half ago." The tech replied. John thanked the man, then headed off to find Elizabeth, cursing Rodney under his breath.
"Rodney, do you really think we'll find the other lab assistant out here?" Jennifer asked as she kept her eyes glued to the small energy reading they were following in the Jumper.
"So far, everything we've followed Janus do has had two sides. Do you seriously believe it's a coincidence that Janus chose two twin planets to encode on his map?" Rodney asked as he landed the Puddle Jumper.
"True," Jennifer conceded. "Do you know anything about the second assistant?"
"His name was Theonmarius, but he just went by Theon." Rodney said. "His parents died early on in the war, and he got pretty close to Janus afterwards. Since these two were a thorn in the side of the Ancients, I heard quite a bit about them while I was ascended."
"Does Theon have any family among the Ascended?"
"Maybe, but according to the Samhain the only people he considered family were Janus, Alaina, and her." Rodney explained as they disembarked the Jumper, and ran right into an invisible wall. Grumbling, Rodney led the way around the wall until they found the doorway.
They entered another dark room with a lever. Rodney wasted no time in pulling the lever and they went down the stairs without a word. At the bottom was another lab room, but this one was a little smaller. Jennifer found the capsule, and Rodney found the wall panel. He touched it and it sprang to life.
"Congratulations on finding my lab. You'll notice that there's a metal capsule in the middle of the room. Inside you'll find my lab assistant Theon. To free him press the blue button. If you wish to just leave him, then please press the green button and leave the premises." Janus's dead-face said with a smile, as the panel slid back and revealed a male teenager with black hair. Without hesitation Rodney pressed the blue button and the countdown sequence started. Jennifer headed back out to the Jumper to radio Atlantis.
