Melisa
Rodney started at the girl on the other side of the room. She stood there smiling in her white gown that covered her feet.
"I will not hurt you Rodney."
"I'm not so sure; we've seen some weird things lately," Rodney said.
"You mean the Wraith? Do not worry about them; I have nothing to do with them."
"That's what they always say," stated Zelanka just as Shepherd walked through the door. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the girl on the other side of the room. He looked at Rodney and Zelanka, "Who is she?"
"I am Melissa. The Ancients sent me."
"Sent you, but the Ancients haven't been around for Century's," Zelanka said utterly confused.
"Well, yes and no?"
"Yes and no? What's that suppose to mean," Rodney frowned.
"Well, it's true that the Ancients haven't been around for a long time, but where not exactly human now."
"You're ascended?" Sheppard asked.
"Hum, no; I'm not ascended. I'm human like you."
"Then..?"
"Why I'm human know; simple, I choose it."
"But why," Zelanka asked.
"Because I'm still a kid, Zelanka; I want to run, play, and jump. I never got that choose before, because basically I wasn't like the others."
"Weren't like the others how," Rodney asked.
"I'm smart! At a young age the teachers at the school I went to recognized my ability to learn and understand at a faster rate than everybody else. So, I was taken as an apprentice, and before long I had out done my master and was deigning programs and devices to help Atlantis."
"Really," Rodney's eyes lit up. Was this the very person he was wishing for to explain to him what these devices did?
"Wee, I think before we get any paint ball guns out, we need to send you to Becket for a check up," Shepherd said taking Melisa's shoulder and leading her out the door.
"And when you get back I need your help, Melisa!" Rodney grinned.
"Rodney, she's just a little girl; didn't you hear her, she want's to have fun." Rodney frowned. He just wanted a couple answers.
