A New Ally:
Return To Atlantis:
Ronon was awake long before Mariala came to get him. He was reading over some of the material she had left him about her race and it seemed that everything she had told him was true. Sure, it would have to be discussed once they were on Atlantis, but it definitely looked like the Expedition had new trading partners. When Mariala opened his door, he looked up from reading and noticed that she was smiling again. He'd make a note about asking her about why she was always smiling later, but for now, he set the reading material on the desk and followed her to the bridge. They were still in hyperspace so he knew that they were not near Atlantis yet.
"Sorry to pull you out of reading so early Ronon, but we thought you might like to see what we do on the bridge."
"Actually, McKay would love to learn new technology and get it acquainted with the systems in Atlantis. I'm not the one that is into all the technical portion of living on a ship like he is."
"Well, I look forward to meeting this McKay. But for now, we are about to drop out of Hyperspace and I figured you would like to be the one to let your team know that you were safe. We know that they have two warships in orbit over the planet, so if you could just radio them your Identification Code, then they won't blow us out of the sky."
"Sure, no problem."
"Good, then get ready. You can sit there and after I make radio contact you can let them know that you are alive, or so to speak."
