When we arrived into the command room, we saw Sheppard and Weir sitting in her office, talking to a man. We walked towards her office, and she looked up, motioning us to enter. As we walked in, she asked, "Teyla, you remember your contact from the Genii home world?"
Teyla nodded and smiled. "Of course. Good to see you again, Pertius."
As Pertius stood up to return the hello, my face dropped. He said his hellos, and I blinked at him. He was the man from my vision...the only image that I can remember.
Sheppard must have seen my face, because when I looked over at him, he mouthed, "You okay?"
I shrugged. I didn't know what to say. Instead, I just stood in the back of the room, near Sheppard and Ronon.
Pertius stated, "When I received your message, I began to delve into the research left by Kolya. I was attempting to find any clues as to where he would go...any sort of paper trail to find his location."
Weir asked, "Have you found anything?"
Pertius shook his head as he replied, "Not yet. We're still looking though. We have sent spies to try and locate him, but most do not return."
Teyla asked, "Do you believe that they have been killed?"
The man shook his head. "We do not know. We've accepted that possibility however. We have also considered the possibility of treason."
"Treason?" Weir asked for clarification.
Pertius stated, "As you may recall, Koyla has not only hurt our relationship with you and Atlantis, but he has tried to overthrow everything the Genii stand for. He has become a menace, and we fear that he has already begun making alliances with other enemies."
"Like the wraith?" Weir asked.
"It is possible, though we don't know for certain," he agreed.
"When was the last time you've seen or spoken with him?" Weir questioned.
Pertius replied, "A few months prior. He was trying to recruit more men. We can't pinpoint where he is, as he's always on the move. I will say that we are aware of some of the threats he has made to other Genii supporters."
"What does that mean?" I asked without thinking.
Pertius turned to me and explained, "We have tried to resume our trading agreements with some of our friends, but we have found that a good portion of them have been killed or tortured. As I have mentioned, Koyla has become a menace, and I am hoping with your help, we can put a stop to him, before it's too late."
"Well, we're not fans of the man either," Sheppard stated.
Pertius nodded. "I did hear of the unfortunate events involving you and him."
Weir asked, "Do you have any idea where to start, or what he wants?"
He sighed, "Aside from having complete control over Atlantis? We think there is something or someone involving you that he has his sights set on."
I looked at Sheppard and inhaled deeply.
Weir met my gaze and nodded as she looked back to Pertius. "Thank you for coming and telling us this. We will discuss our options, and see if we can help narrow the search for you. We will send word to you tomorrow, with any updates."
Pertius nodded and said, "Of course. Our communication stations are always active. I will await your decision."
Teyla walked him out so that he could return to his home world.
Once he was out of the room, I asked, "So...he's after me?"
McKay was about to speak, but Sheppard cut him off, "It would make sense. I mean, you said that Michael met with a man from the Genii who said that he wasn't a patient man..."
I replied, "I think that Pertius might be in on this."
Weir asked, "Why do you say that? Did you see him?"
"Only in a vision, "I replied.
Ronon mentioned, "Don't forget there was that man in the dark cloak on that planet, speaking with Michael."
Weir nodded as she stated, "I think that we will keep security tight. Keep gate activity closed until we can track down Koyla. Rodney, I'd like you to begin isolating possible planets where Koyla could be, a place where he can continue contacting the Genii. Also, see if you can figure out where Michael could possibly be."
Rodney nodded and asked, "Should I also find out what the meaning of life is as well?"
Weir shot him her disapproval look, and Sheppard piped in, "I always did want to know the answer to that."
McKay grumbled to himself as he took his leave, and the rest of us followed shortly after.
