Chapter 3
The familiar blue light engulfed the gate room as the event horizon stabilized.
"Stargate Command this is Dr. Weir," Elizabeth said.
"Copy that Dr. Weir just a moment General Landry will be here momentarily." The gate tech said and a moment later Landry's voice came over the radio.
"What do you need Dr. Weir you're a little early for the monthly update?" Landry asked.
"I wanted to talk to you about a situation that's come up here." Weir said.
"Yes," Landry prompted.
"Colonel Caldwell just left a minute ago and when he arrives on Earth he'll be informing you that Colonel Sheppard and Teyla are in a relationship. He's made it his goal to belittle Sheppard where he can and to put an end to his relationship with Teyla. Threatening to strip him of rank and be shipped back to Earth." Elizabeth said.
"I see…have you seen anything to suggest that their personal relationship is affecting their professional relationship?" Landry asked.
"No they keep everything off duty, and out of missions," Elizabeth said.
"Well I'll bring this up with the Joint Chief's. We've been discussing lifting the 'no-frat reg' for personnel involved in the Stargate project for awhile so I don't think you have anything to worry about Dr. Weir. Rest assured that before Caldwell arrives on Earth we'll have an answer to deliver to you and if what you say is true about the Colonel behavior then the Daedalus will be receiving a new CO. Thank you SGC out," Landry said closing his channel and the Stargate shut down.
"Well that went better than I expected," Elizabeth muttered under her breath.

After setting the ground work for the next day it was time to hit the sack and the team returned to their rooms. Their hosts could only spare two rooms because of the festival the city was hosting the next day so McKay & Ronan shared one room and John & Teyla shared the other.
At around noon the four meet with the Chancellor in the conference room to continue negotiations.
"What do you offer in return for our technology and knowledge," Chancellor Titan asked.
"We offer our knowledge and technology," Sheppard said.
"You propose a trade: knowledge for knowledge," Titan said.
"Yeah I've heard that your only means for interstellar travel is the Stargate that's something we could help you with and also possibly an alliance between our two worlds." Sheppard said.
"Alliance?" Titan questioned.
"Yeah work together, defend each other from attacks, fight beside the other, and work to find a way to defeat the Wraith." Sheppard said.
"What you are proposing could be quite promising for both our worlds but I must discuss it with the council. Feel free to enjoy the festival we will convene before you leave later." Titan said leaving the room to inform the council of the new development.
"Well let's go check out this festival," Sheppard said and the four left the building disappearing into the crowd.
