Chapter 4

The team decided to grab a bite to eat at one of the local vender's booths. The four of them sat at one of the tables discussing what they're going to do next.

"So what we do next?" John asked.

"I was thinking that we could see what the other vender's have," Teyla said.

"Come on-" that was as far as John got before Teyla shot him a glare telling him to shut up.

"On second thought that could be fun," John said.

"Well I was going-" McKay began before John interrupted him.

"Oh no if I have to spend the day shopping so do you two," John said giving McKay a glance that said 'don't even think of complaining'.

"Fine," McKay said dejectedly.

"Okay I'll go too," Ronon said.

"Good well you ready Teyla?" John asked.

"Yes," Teyla said getting up from the table and the four left their table to check out the other venders. Walking through the packed street venders and stores lined both sides of the street; different kinds of music could be heard in the background and the four again disappeared into the crowd of people.

The four were summoned to the Council Chamber a few hours later to discuss the decision of the council. Chancellor Titan was already at the table waiting for them when they arrived to take their seats.

"Thank you for arriving so quickly," Chancellor Titan said.

"Not a problem Chancellor," Sheppard said.

"The Council has decided that an alliance between our two worlds would be most beneficial and agreeable." Titan said and Sheppard lit up at that.

"That's great, well the next step is to set the guidelines of the alliance but that's from one of our other teams. When's a good time to send another team?" Sheppard asked.

"How is next week?" Titan asked.

"Next week is fine,"

"Wonderful I look forward to your next teams visit," Titan said.

"Great well we should be going my teams due back soon,"

"Good day then," Titan said as the four left the building for the Stargate.

"It's Colonel Sheppard's IDC" one of the technicians said.

"Lower the shield," Dr. Weir said walking down the stairs and arriving at the base just as the four members stepped into the gate room.

"So how'd it go?" Weir asked Sheppard.

"They said yes and I allowed introduced the idea of an alliance and they seemed to very open to the idea." Sheppard said.

"Well that's great I'll send AT-6 then to pick up the negotiations…also Colonel could you and Teyla join me in my office." Elizabeth asked.
