How do you guys like the story so far? I think it's time to see what happened on that planet! Hope you guys enjoy!
Major John Sheppard and his team stepped through the gate and out onto a beautiful planet, trees littered the horizon, flowers were in bloom all around the gate. The sun beat down onto them all, John pulled out his sunglasses and slipped them over his eyes.
"So where's our welcome party?" he said jokily, scanning the immediate area around the gate for any possible hostile threats.
"I think they're just coming" came an unexpected reply from Lieutenant Ford, Sheppard turned to where the Lieutenant was looking and saw a small group of people walking towards them.
"Oh." He was momentarily stunned that they were actually receiving a welcome; the Ambassador had said that he would try to send some able villagers but John had not expected them to actually come.
"Well, everyone be nice. That includes you McKay!" he said quickly as he started down the small slope that the gate was situated, and walked towards the group of villagers.
"Hey!" McKay cried indignantly "I'm nice to people. At least I don't have a tendency to go all Captain Kirk!"
John didn't have time to answer back, the villagers had reached them. They all smiled broadly at the new comers,
"Welcome, you must be the Atlanteans. You are most welcome to our humble planet, please come with us." They ushered the team forwards towards the scattered tree line where they had come.
"You carry great technology!" one of the villagers near McKay said, he looked at the scanner now present in McKay's hand.
"Oh, yes" McKay muttered distractedly, he was scanning for any energy readings that might indicate useful technology.
"We have never seen such mechanisms!" the villager spoke again; he stared from the scanner in McKay's hand to the P-90's that the other three were carrying.
"Oh really?" the disappointment was evident in McKay's voice; he let the scanner fall to his side. "We were under the impression that you had technology that would be of great use to us." The villager smiled, he exchanged a look with his fellow who was walking near Teyla.
"You must have spoken to our Ambassador, he often tells other worlds of our great technology, but he lies for we have never had great technology." He was watching McKay interestedly, as if the scientist was a rather interesting animal in a zoo.
"So he's lied about you advanced weapons?" the villager was still watching McKay and smirked when this was said.
"I see you are disappointed. It is a pity so many people only come here because of the advanced weapons we supposedly possess." The villager looked down at the ground for a moment before seemingly recovering himself.
McKay looked forward towards John who was being assaulted by questions from his villager; he turned back to the man beside him and smiled faintly.
"So what technology do you have?" he asked hopefully trying to avoid the villager's searching gaze.
"I believe we have some" the villagers all stopped suddenly and raised what looked like Wraith Stunners.
"What the hell?" John yelled as he and the other three ran for cover from the hail of blue streaks attempting to hit them.
"Where did they keep those weapons?" shrieked McKay as he hid behind a nearby tree. There had been no actual place for the villagers to keep those large weapons, so where had they come from?
John, Teyla and Ford were all firing at the oncoming villagers; Rodney didn't seem to be able to get to his 9 mill.
"Everyone we need to get back to the gate" John cried over the din of bullets and Wraith blasts. If they could go through the trees and then come out the other side then they could have a good chance of getting to the gate and back to Atlantis.
The others looked at him and nodded, McKay went first dodging behind trees, with stunner blasts missing him by inches. He managed to get half way towards the gate before a blast him; he fell bonelessly to the floor.
"McKay!" Sheppard yelled and began to run towards his fallen friend, but before he could get to him a stun blast hit him as well and he fell, the last thing he saw was the earth raising up to meet him as he fell into oblivion.
"Major Sheppard please report to the Control room immediately" the voice crackling over the radio brought John out of his dream, he rolled over and grabbed the small radio on his bed.
"I'll be there shortly," he said before turning it off and getting out of his bed, he looked around his quarters glumly. It was still as messy as it had been when he had eventually come in, he had kind of hoped that Atlantis had some kind of built in cleaner to tidy messy rooms, but no such luck.
He headed towards his wardrobe and quickly got changed; he hurried out of his quarters locking the door mentally as he left.
He soon reached the control room and looked around, there was no extra face, no new person there. He sighed he had hoped for a minute that they might have found him, but no such luck.
"Major, we've been waiting for you. I think you should see this" a technician called from one of the many consoles in the room. John walked over to him and looked over his shoulder at the screen that was flashing,
"It started transmitting just now" the technician said smiling.
"What is it?" John asked, it couldn't be what he thought it was could it?
"It's a distress beacon" the technician said smiling even more broadly, he traced the lines with his finger. John let out a sigh of relief, as he stepped away from the console breathing deeply.
"Let Doctor Weir know, and then try and triangulate it's position, we'll gate there as soon as possible and with Doctor Weir's permission of course."
The technician nodded and began to speak into his radio alerting Doctor Weir that they had a breakthrough. John smiled to himself; Rodney would soon be home safe and sound.
