Author's Note: I got lost for what to put in my other story, so I started this one to help me get over the hump in my other one. This one is really...interesting. I'm hoping to get the next chapter up soon. Please be sure to read and review!
Sheppard:
After telling yet another thrilling story to the children, John leans back into his pillow and sighs softly. This has been a relatively easy day. At least, he didn't have to shoot anyone, and that was always good.
Looking back on the day, he remembered that he stayed in Atlantis, and helped explore it somewhat. The 'transporters' were easier to take than stairs were, and you could go further with them too.
He remembered that for the first half of the day, he worked with the Puddlejumpers. He was figuring out how to maintain them as well as they had been maintained in the past. It turned out to be really easy to take care of them. John may not have a car or a plane, but he does have his Puddlejumpers.
The second half of the day, he explored parts of Atlantis that he hadn't been in before. He was looking around and found a couple more 'transporters'. It sounded like something out of one of those stupid science fiction shows.
Closing his eyes, he decided to brief his team on the Puddlejumpers, and maybe form another team or two. Besides, this was a big galaxy they needed to explore; one team couldn't do it alone.
Sleep came and took John away for the evening, soon to wake up in the bright morning. For now, however, his dreams took care of him.
Yawning, Doctor Beckett realized that it was actually quite late. He probably should go to bed now, but he was interested in finding out as much as he could about his new Infirmary.
Yes, his infirmary. He wanted to be a doctor, maybe have his own practice one day, and look at him now. He was the doctor of a great city in the middle of a new galaxy.
Smiling smugly, Carson looked around his clean workspace and decided to go to bed already. He was quite tired from the day before, now he just wanted some rest. Tomorrow, he could pick up where he left off; figuring out what things did around here.
Ah, pulling all nighters again. She was used to this, but it never got used to her. Sitting up in the Control Center, she was practically the only one there. The few people left over for the night shift were there, of course, and she was there.
The day shift would come out in a few hours, and Elizabeth should probably get some sleep before then, but she couldn't seem to close her eyes. She felt like she had to watch over everything. This was her baby, and she was going to mother it as much as she could. If Daniel was here, he'd probably do the same thing.
Sipping on her water, she knew that she'd have to go to bed soon, or else regret it in the morning when everyone wanted to come to her with every little thing they found and figured out, especially Rodney. He was like a kid in a candy store here. Every small discovery made his eyes light up, and he would either make a huge mess, or actually not screw anything up.
Yawning, she left it to the night crew as she went to her pleasant quarters and put herself into bed, waiting for the coming day.
Rodney was, of course, staying up in a science lab. So far, nothing bad had happened, but that was only so far. Right now, he was looking at some sort of recording device, or so he figured it was. It was really interesting.
This isn't so bad, perhaps I can use this to dictate my finds, or discover more by pushing play....
As his thoughts wondered, he finally decided to take it with him to bed, so he could keep a close eye on it. Leaving, he turned off the lights and put the device in his pocket.
Feeling in his other pocket, he realized he had forgotten to put the personal shield back in its case that Rodney had put his name on.
Walking back into the lab, he tried to put the lights back on, but they wouldn't turn on again. Thinking this was odd, he just pulled out his flashlight and put the shield in its case and left for the night. He'd mess with the lights tomorrow.
Teyla had just helped put the last child to bed. Walking around for one last time, she herself went to bed as well. One can never know when you might be needed in the morning by someone, so it is good to be well rested.
Sighing softly to herself, she felt like she wasn't being told everything. She felt...out of the loop as Major Sheppard would say. It was just a strange feeling she had, and she had already decided not to worry about it too much.
Closing her eyes, she decided to get some sleep before morning, she wanted to be well rested and prepared for whatever would come her way.
Luckily, he wasn't on night shift, so Aiden could get some quality sleep. He looked out his window and smiled to himself. He had indeed managed a room with an ocean view.
Lying down upon his soft bed, he realized how comfortable he had become in just a few days. The softness of the covers made him wondered about the ancients. If they really were that entirely great and everything, how had the wraiths managed to defeat them? And would they come back to Atlantis?
Putting the thoughts aside, he went to sleep, and waited for the coming day.
