Chapter Ten

"Great, now what?" Asked Ford as they witness the speeders disappear through the Gate.

"The minute we can dial the Gate remotely from here. We follow them through." Answered John.

Zenta spoke out when he could see, the team where at a loss. "If I may suggest something different."

John looked at him. "There's a place we know off, which was built buy the Ancients you spoke off, I think you'll want to see it."

John shook his head. "Another time maybe. Right now we have more pressing concerns."

Zenta looked at Elizabeth and tried to convince her. "I believe it could be of vital importance with regards to your situation."

"Till the Gate closes down we can't do anything."

"You don't need the Gate Doctor Weir, the place I speak of is here on this planet."

Everyone turned to face him but it was John who spoke out. "I'm not picking anything else up on the sensors."

"Trust me it's here."

"McKay, I need you to turn Atlantis's controls over to me."

McKay was still sitting on the bike, contemplating on what he had done. He'd just handed Atlantis over to one of their greatest enemies. All due to the loss of a friend, McKay heard Kolya calling him from the Control Room and he looked up to see him running his fingers over the DHD control Panel. He had noticed Bates escape the room having raised the shield and sealed the doors shut behind him.

This time he steadied himself as he got of the speeder. "I need two command codes to do it. The only two people who can provide them are not with us."

"I'm not playing your games this time Doctor McKay, I know you are more then capable of overriding the city's systems with or without those codes."

"You'll have to find them on your own then." Replied Rodney rebelliously.

Kolya grinned at him and once again pulled his gun on him, without warning he fired it and the shot landed near Rodney's feet. "I won't miss with the next shot."

Rodney slowly made his way to the Control Room as he took the threat seriously.

Sheppard's team arrived in an underground building, which appeared to be built by the Ancients. Zenta escorted them to the middle of the complex. "We believe this model is an early design for the Eye's we use, one which was abandoned by the Ancients."

John waited for the lights to turn on as they entered the room, and everyone's eyes lit up when they saw what Zenta was on about. There in the middle stood what appeared to be a Stargate. John turned at the sound of Elizabeth's excited voice. "Oh my."

Zenta moved over to the computer terminal and called up schematics of the Gate. "As far as we can tell, there is nothing wrong with this Eye."

"You can read Ancient too?" Asked Elizabeth as she scanned the blocked writing on the screen whist she stood next to him.

Zenta nodded. "All my people can read the writing of the Ancestors, it's like a second language to us."

Elizabeth smiled at him. "It is for me too. Is its purpose the same as the other Gates?"

"According to this data it will only work between buildings built by the Ancients."

"A back door?" Questioned Sheppard as he walked round object in the middle of the room.

Elizabeth flipped through the pages on the terminal in front of the Gate. "John you know what this could mean, if we can get it working."

His face appeared from behind the Gate beaming at her. "The holy grail."
