Chapter Eight: So…
Teyla looked up at Weir.
"So…" She asked expectedly.
"He feels guilty."
"Guilty over what?"
"He believes that his actions in Afghanistan caused the situation this expedition finds itself in."
"How? I don't understand."
"He believes that because he was reposted after Afghanistan, it is his notion that if he never was reposted he would not have been chosen for this expedition and therefore never woken the wraith."
"Teyla you said yourself the Wraith were going to wake up. We've told him that countless times."
"It does not matter what we tell him it is what he believes." Weir pinched the bridge of her nose. "I can try to convince him otherwise…" Teyla propositioned.
"If it's the only way to get our John back…No wonder he said he needed to see this through." Weir just sighed.
"Permission granted. Bring our John back." Teyla slightly bowed her head and lay back down upon the bed. Closing her eyes she felt a bit disoriented as she slipped into Sheppard's mind.
The last thing she heard was Rodney whispering: "Bring him home safely!"
