The gate shut down. It was quiet and no wind, still the planet chilled Teyla to the bone. It was something about this place.
"This way." Rodney said following a hunch.
Zelenka's eyes didn't leave the LSD. Major Lorne let his eyes wander over their surroundings. "There is nothing here." He said.
The trees stood tall as if they had been there for centuries and the grass had grown wild mixing with various flowers. It was a beautiful place. If it hadn't been for their mission Lorne would have taken a stroll on the planet and perhaps been doing a little painting. Rodney would have no doubt been worried about all different kinds of pollen, not that he already was.
Rodney turned to Zelenka. "Radek?"
"Nothing." He glanced at the screen in front of him. "Wait one lifesign." He pointed to the east.
"Let's move." Lorne said taking the lead in professional mode all trees and flowers forgotten.
"Picking up more lifesigns." Radek confirmed. "Are you sure this is such a good idea?" He asked no one in particular.
"No." Rodney answered.
"How many?" Teyla asked her fingers on the P90.
"Ten." Radek said.
"Gunfire!" McKay suddenly shouted.
"Take cover!" Lorne returned.
"Replicators?" Teyla shouted over the noise.
"No, these are human lifesigns." Radek said ducking behind a rock.
"Two down, we have to create a diversion." Rodney said.
"I'll do it, cover me." The Major said moving off. Teyla kept a close eye on him.
Rodney aimed and fired managing to take one enemy down. Zelenka did the same. They both took cover again as another hail of bullets stroke by. Teyla left to go after Lorne and Rodney quickly covered her. "Radek!" He shouted.
"Three left!" The scientist shouted in despair.
"Make that two." Rodney added. Then everything went quiet as if there was not a soul on the planet.
"Doctor Weir put your gun down!" Radek and Rodney heard Lorne call out.
oooooooooo
The Major had his gun trained at the Doctor.
"Elizabeth it's me Teyla." The Athosian woman said gently moving towards them. "We know what happened, lower your gun." She tried.
"Stay where you are." Elizabeth commanded her gun still aimed at Lorne.
"The Replicators are gone; your nanites have left your body. Don't you feel warmer and more alive?" Teyla asked.
"That is impossible, they keep me alive."
"No they kept you alive but not anymore." Evan said
"Where are you?" McKay hollered.
"Over here Rodney!" Teyla replied.
"Who's the..." Rodney stopped dead in his tracks.
"Listen to me Doctor Weir, your memories has been suppressed by the Replicators." Teyla said softly pleading with the woman in front of her to understand. Elizabeth slowly lowered her weapon.
"That's good." Evan said encouraging.
"You are enemies." She said looking at their familiar faces.
"Not your enemy." Rodney said finally having found his voice again.
"I have learned there is a saying on your world; the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Teyla said offering a smile.
The woman stared at Teyla intently for a moment as if recognizing something.
"Where is John?" The confused Elizabeth said.
"Come on let's get you home. The Athosian said happily.
oooooooooo
