~ELIZABETH'S OFFICE~
Elizabeth sat with Carson and Radek in her office when the two men suddenly stiffened.
Elizabeth froze mid sentence, watching the two men closely.
Both suddenly relaxed, blinking several times in rapid succession with worried expressions on their faces.
"Brianna has been captured by the Genii. She says we have to leave her be and trust that she'll be all right." Carson said, dropping his head onto his fists.
"Atlantis agrees with her. She says we have more important things to focus on. Much as I hate to say it I agree with her." Radek added.
"WHAT?!" Elizabeth exclaimed in shock. "How can we just leave her in their hands?"
The lights suddenly dimmed and a smoky figure appeared in the corner of the room.
"What the…Bri?" Carson said standing and walking towards the figure.
"Hello? Can you hear me? Is this thing working?" The figure spun around in a circle. "Ah, there you are. So, what I came to say, you all need to abandon me for now. For one thing you won't be able to find me yet, and you'll have to wait until the others get back with Alleria. Trust that I will be all right. If something happens, you need to ignore it, there are bigger things happening right now than any of us can comprehend, and I am prepared to sacrifice myself if necessary, and you should be too. Concentrate on helping John. Now this is important.
"Lilah is still with John and the others, she can relay any messages. Tell them to trust her with the crystal, Atlantis will guide her. Also, listen for Atlantis to let you know where I am when it's time. Oh, and one more thing."
"Oh?" Carson said.
"Brace yourselves." She said, then as her last message transmitted itself all over the city, the hologram disappeared.
"What did she…" Carson began, then grabbed the doorway s the city vibrated, Carson and Radek clutched their temples and fell to their knees.
When the city stopped shaking Elizabeth looked up and saw Carson and Radek curled on the floor in fetal positions.
"Ow." Radek muttered.
"What just happened?" Elizabeth asked.
"Bri was waking up. That was Atlantis screaming as Bri blocked the connection so the city didn't get the backlash from anything the Genii do to her." Carson said, still rubbing his temples.
