Once again, I do not own Stargate Atlantis.
Chapter 2: What went wrong?
It had almost been a month and he was ready to go back home, ready to drink coffee again, ready to eat a turkey sandwich, but most of all, ready to see her again. That is, if she was even alive. He had no idea as to what the answer was to that question. All he knew was that he was frustrated, irritated, humiliated, and everything else that ended in "ated." He knew that it wasn't his fault. What happened couldn't have been predicted by anyone. Actually now that he thought about it, Atlantis's deep space sensors should have picked up the Wraith's presence. The moment the Wraith even came into range, there should have been a big warning signal.
"Why didn't the sensors pick up the Wraith's presence?"
"Did ya, say somethin' lad?"
Lately Carson had been worried about John. He had been so determined these past few weeks to try and find a ZPM. They had started with the planet that they had evacuated to, but that ZPM had been long gone. At least that's what the locals had told them. However, Ronan and John hadn't stopped there. They recruited a team and started exploring a list of planets that were supposed to have ZPMs. The only problem was they weren't sure which ones still had working ZPMs and which ones did not.
"Huh, oh, nothing. Just talking to myself Carson."
"Aye, well, get some sleep John."
"You know me." John couldn't help but not sleep. All he could do lately was think of a way to get back home, and find the rest of his team – find Elizabeth. "I was never one to do what I'm told."
"Yes, I of all people know that Colonel."
John wondered what went wrong with the sensors. I guess I can't do anything about that until after we get back to Atlantis. He made a mental note of things to do when they got back to Atlantis. That is, after they found a new ZPM. That's what had been decided before the evacuation. Get new ZPM, and then return to submerged city. At least that's what the plan was before everyone got separated. He just hoped that the other members of the expedition were alive. More importantly, he hoped Elizabeth was alive.
He missed her and everything about her. The way she smells, the way she makes him want to jump for joy, when she looks at him and smiles. Most of all he misses the quality time they would spend together on their balcony after a long days work.
He had to find a ZPM, and he had to find one soon. Not only was he getting restless, but they were running out of resources. Tomorrow he and Ronan would go to the next planet on the list to gather supplies. They were running low on food and water. Maybe the people of this planet would be a little more cooperative than the last.
What do you think will happen next? Thanks for reading. Sorry that the chapters are so short. Reviews are greatly appreciated. This is my first fanfic.
