John Sheppard was getting used to weird things happening around him. Being in another galaxy and all. But this one topped the list so far. When he arrived at the brig he found Bates and Johnson standing outside the door. Both saluted him. "At ease. Anything from him so far?" He asked Bates. "No sir. He just said he'd wait for someone to come see him." "Okay, Let's go see what he has to say shell we."
Sheppard walked into the holding cell to find the other Sheppard banging his head against the table muttering to himself about 'stupid scientist'. "Am I interrupting?" Sheppard asked. The other Sheppard's head shot up and glared at the colonel. "Funny." He said. "So you ready to tell me who you are, how you got here and what you're doing here?" Asked Sheppard. "McKay's the one you really need to ask about the how. But I'll tell you what I can. My name is Major John Sheppard, United States Air Force, currently stationed at Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy. You?" He said. "Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard, United States Air Force, currently head of military at Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy." Sheppard said. "That's so not fair!" Whined the other Sheppard. "Well MAJOR, looks like you've gotten yourself into a bit of a jam." Said Sheppard. "Actually technically this is McKay's fault. I said 'be careful what you touch' but you know scientists, they get excited whenever there's a new bit of alien technology to play with, they have a tendency to forget about their own safety and everyone else's for that matter." Major Sheppard said. "I know what you mean the other day Rodney and Zelenka were trying to fix some wiring and they used the oldest looking set of ladders I've ever seen and… we're getting off subject, why don't you start from the beginning." Sheppard said. "Okay I'll start from the last mission….
Flashback
When Major Sheppard had first stepped onto P17-186 his first thought was it would be a really nice place to go camping. It was a peaceful looking planet with greenery everywhere and picturesque mountains in the background. He turned to Lieutenant Ford and Sergeant Peterson. "Watch the gate, we'll check-in in 30 minutes." He ordered. He took in a deep breath and felt the planet's warm sun on his skin. So much like Earth. The view would have to wait though as McKay was getting ahead of herself and had already started to head towards the ruins about half a mile from the gate that they had picked up on the MALP. "The reading we picked up is definitely coming from this direction. Could be a ZedPM. It's strong whatever it is." Shouted McKay. "Doc, Could you take your eyes off that thing and keep them focused on looking out for any locals." Sheppard said taking the ancient hand device from her. "The MALP didn't show any activity in the vicinity for about 10 miles. So stop pestering me and give me that back now" Said a very annoyed Sarah McKay. She made a grab for the device, elbowing the Major. "You focus on any locals; I'll focus on the energy reading." McKay said walking ahead of Sheppard. "Wait up McKay." Called Sheppard. He ran along side her and together they entered the ruins. Delicate looking stone pillars marked an entrance. Inside was what looked like a laboratory. In the centre of the room stood a large stone device. "It looks similar to ancient but a little different, maybe late ancient, looks like what we've found on earth so far. Reminds me of the time loop device SG-1 found several years ago. What I wouldn't have given to have had the chance to study that. Did you know that the government had it destroyed to make sure no one activated it again and Earth wouldn't get locked in a loop again? Something I would have argued against if I was there, what a waste. I'm sure I could have figured it out given the chance." McKay muttered. "Just figure this one out first McKay. Any ideas?" Sheppard asked. "Hold on a minute." Said McKay. She bent down at the side of the machine and removed a panel. She started poking around the back. "What are you doing?" Asked Sheppard. "Trying to get to the power source to see what this thing is. Now shut up and let me concentrate."
