The universe has many layers. Every action you take creates a diversity that makes your life different from what could have been. This is not our reality.

oooooooooo

Rodney stopped in his tracks. "What was that?"

"Gunfire" Ronon stated calmly as he peered around the corner.

"Replicators" Zelenka said feeling a tight knot in his stomach. "Wait I am reading another human biosign." He added.

Ronon spared a glance in his direction. "One of Gaspari's team?" He wondered.

"Let's hope so." McKay mumbled raising his P90.

Doctor Brown closed her eyes taking refuge behind a box.

"I am getting strange lifesigns." Zelenka said with his eyes glued to the screen.

"The modification worked?" Rodney said hopefully.

"There are ten of them." Radek said alarmed.

Rodney looked at him. "Gaspari's team where only four."

"They stopped." Zelenka reported.

Ronon dared a glance into the corridor. Then suddenly it all broke lose. Bullets ricocheted in the walls and the Satedan immediately dove for cover as Rodney returned fire.

"Doctor Brown." Zelenka said softly. "You will have to use your P90, I am sorry but that's the only way." She nodded and gripped the gun with both her hands as hard as she could.

"Incoming!" She heard someone shout then an explosion filling the corridor with smoke. Dust swirled in the room and she couldn't see.

"Ronon!" Rodney shouted not being able to distinguish him through the dust and smoke.

"To your right!" He answered shortly.

"They are decreasing in numbers!" Zelenka said.

"How many?" McKay asked still not seeing all the details in front of himself.

"Five...oh no..." Zelenka said.

"What?" Ronon demanded.

"Another four just materialized, I don't know how they got here." Radek replied, the knot in his stomach tightening.

"Cover fire!" Ronon shouted as he took off.

Rodney wasted no time. Zelenka then understood why Sheppard respected McKay the way he did. The Canadian scientist followed Ronon no matter what, no whining or complaining about the bullets. This was not the arrogant and annoying scientist that could be found in Atlantis yelling at his staff.

"Only six left." Radek comforted himself.

Ronon aimed and fired, the Replicator fell to the ground. Then it turned unnaturally quiet. A silhouette was visible through the smoke. The woman walked closer not afraid of them, her eyes filled with hatred.

"Give it up Doctor Weir!" Ronon shouted his weapon aimed at her.

A smile spread upon her lips but it never reached her eyes. "This place is adapted with C4, you kill me and you kill yourself." She threatened.

"The Elizabeth we know is already dead!" Rodney answered.

"Tell me where Atlantis is." She asked her voice chilled Zelenka to the core.

"Never." Ronon said angrily.

The Replicator reached for the button.

oooooooooo
