A/N: Cookies to reviewers ManicTater, Cocoa Girl2, flubber ! Extra Kudos to flubber for guessing who the 'Lady' and Agitra were. The 'Lady' part she got right, but Agitra is NOT one of the seven sisters!
A/N2: But you know I have something about like OVER 2040 hits but only something in the ball park of 38 reviews (counting the few PM's people sent because they couldn't review) but seriously people if your going to read my fic, please review, even if you flame it to hell and back. Because I work hard on this and love it so much. It also kinda annoys me when people have me under their favorites but don't brother with reviewing… So this is a evil glare to those out there that follow these items. I know you're there I can see it in my stats, and it's not like I have the anon reviewer turned off, so if some of you guys aren't people you can still review… sawy little triad there… Meh…
A/N3: reading my fic from the beginning and finding all of these errors, like in the third chapter I called Radek a Russian! WTF? Plus it looks so long on my computer, yet so short on I don't own much of anything, and I don't own SGA
Chapter 12
The long range sensors didn't even see them coming, as they jumped right into Atlantis's orbit. Four very big Hive ships loomed over the planet. Inside Atlantis, the panic level had gone from calm to hysteric. People were running all over the place saving as much as they could before they would have to evacuate. There was no Dontales to help them this time. She had left almost three day prior, taking their veteran fighters home, and leaving a whole bunch of untrained newbies in their place. Guns, tactile vests and aerosol cans filled with the anti-Wraith virus were being passed out. Radek's untested computer virus was standing at the ready and the self destruct could be activated at any moment. The tension was running high among all the personal. Carson and the Medical team was already packed up as much as they could, they would need to stay as long as possible to treat the victims of Wraith attacks. Carson was taking some stimulants to Rodney and Radek, knowing that they would want them, so they could keep working to the last minute.
He walked into their lab to see them working fervently over their laptops, data pads, and various other equipment. They worked in perfect unison, as if they shared a brain between them. Neither one of them had noticed that Beckett had walked in, till he cleared his throat. They both looked up at the same time with an aggravated look.
"What?" the both of them snapped. Carson held the needles filled with stimulants in front of him as a peace offering.
"I just thought you might need these sooner or later."
"And those would be?" asked Rodney. The last time they had needed them, Carson had given them pills, injections worked faster.
"They're stimulants Rodney, and I'll give them to you once I've figured out ho' much coffee and sleep yea both have in your systems."
"Oh…"
"Thank you Carson, this will be helpful soon," said Radek.
"So how much coffee and sleep have you two had? Starting with coffee."
Rodney went back to work as Radek answered the good doctor's questions. "Well we have had somewhere around 2 cups of coffee per hour." Carson did the math in his head.
"And when was the last you sleep and for how long?"
Rodney interrupted. "It was about 36 hours ago, with a good 5 hours for both of us. Now will you just work your voodoo magic and make us stay awake longer so we don't blow each other up? Or worse the city?"
"You both?" Carson raised his eyebrow at Radek, who just grinned. Rodney's face went blank as he realized what he said.
"I mean… Well… Its not…"
Carson held up his hand to silence his friend.
"I already know about you and Radek. There need not be that confusion."
"Really?" Rodney half accused. Radek tapped his arm and scolded him slightly . Rodney relaxed a little, not much, but it was enough. He set down the piece of equipment that he was working on a table and slumped over Radek. The both of them looked horrible.
The door to the lab slammed shut with out warning, which made all three men jump. An alarm started to go off in Atlantis. It sounded similar to the alarm that had gone off during the nanovirus scare.
Rodney pulled himself off Radek, and began to type on his laptop. His face went white. Carson could hear Elizabeth's voice crackle over the radio.
"Rodney! What is going on?"
"That is what I'm trying to find out Elizabeth," Rodney said as he hunched over his computer. He waved to Zelenka to check the readings that he had pulled up. The little Czech paled.
"Rodney!"
"It can't be…" Zelenka whispered.
"What can't be?" Carson asked.
"The Wraith have upgraded to biological warfare. They're gassing the city."
A/N4: Oh no! Oh shit! Da city is being gassed! But will that stop the humans? Meh… R&R and it makes me write faster. Oh, and 'Wraith Beginnings and Legends' WILL be up tonight. So if you don't find it on the main page, look it up under my name.
