Battle of the three galaxies Apocalypse
Chapter 7: Crystal Clear
Thunder , lighting , and heavy rain on the planet , the camera roam , nothing to see just ruins. Remnants of old life now turned to dust and bones. Nothing survived. Not even we can see a plant . just rocks , even volcanos.
Back to Atlantis
Weir: locate and on screen , what are we dealing with.
Atlantis : my sensor detected a light on the surface for 3.4 seconds and then it disappeared.
Weir: just a light? The place is all lighting and thunder , your sensors could be wrong.
Atlantis : it was of biological nature .
Weir: oh…. In that case on screen
Atlantis show on screen what seem to be what is left of a huge temple , but nothing around or surrounding the structure that have any biological signature .
Weir: prepare a boarding party , and careful we are not replicators anymore , we will die if we are exposed to risk
Personnel : yes sir , will do.
As a jumper leave Atlantis heading for the planet, it enter the stormy atmosphere , trembling inside the jumper , the personnel hesitate to take more risk and try to control it , at last they manage to land it near the structure
Personnel : Atlantis , we have arrived.
Wearing some protective suit, they exit the jumper , the weather is horrible they try to walk to the structure , and use some scan device.
Personnel : this is alfa team 1 , we have negative signature on any life form. The place seem to be in ruins , smoke and rubbles all over the place .
Weir: leave a mobile sensor unit there to measure and have a closer look , and leave that place .
Personnel : will do sir.
As they are setting the device and powering it on , the personnel try to wipe his protective glass to see better because of the rain, he see something shiny in the distance. He approach it .
Personnel : command ,I am seeing something glowing in the distance I am investigating .
Weir : take extra caution , we don't know what is friendly , or not.
Personnel : will do sir .
As the personnel approach the location , he see a glowing crystal size of a basket ball. He hold it ,it glow more
Atlantis : here it is the signature again.
Weir: it is the crystal , it contain a biological life form.
As she approach the command she push a button and talk to the Personnel
Weir: this is weir: bring it on board.
As we see the jumper leave the planet , parts of the planet begin experiencing catastrophic volcano eruptions. All over
Atlantis : I am detecting destabilization in the planet core . the planet will crumble soon and explode.
Weir : take us to safe distance NOW.
We see Atlantis getting away as the jumper get in , as soon as she is a bit far we see the planet surface all crumble and then the planet just fall apart , to rubbles and magma , and explode.
Weir: they somehow gave their life to protect this planet and then the planet is no more , sad and so much wasted life over nothing, did we get the crystal ?
Atlantis : getting it analyzed as we speak
Weir: anything we can know so far.
Atlantis : it is not of any of my diagnostic equipment are working on it , everything is turning negative.
Weir: so a life form that we can not communicate with it , nor scan it.
Atlantis : just about yes.
Weir: now what?
Atlantis : I don't know I am running every diagnostic I have on it . composition still unknown to me .
Behind them , Loki stand .. and then speak
Loki : I believe I can help
Weir : I am not sure you are supposed to be here .
Loki: I am sorry , but considering the circumstances. I believe we should trust each other.
Weir: I am sure that will not happen
Loki : I don't know what strange thing you experience from us from your past or future . but I don't think it is wise for a race like yours, with all the advancement you achieved , to hold us accountable for something we did not commit.
Weir silent for a moment , the scene fade to the next chapter
