15 minutes later Major Sheppard thought it would be a good idea to check-in with Ford. He grabbed McKay's shoulder to get her attention to tell her he was just going outside to get a better signal when all hell hit loose. She jumped from the sudden contact and banged something inside the machine. There was a sudden jolt like an electric shock and a moment's pause, and then the whole world shook. "What the hell did you just do!" Yelled Sheppard over the sound of several explosions. "Me! You're the one scaring the living day lights out of me!" Yelled McKay back. Sheppard tapped his ear piece. "Ford, Peterson, what the hells going on out there? Ford, Ford come in!" He grabbed McKay's arm dragging her up. "What are you doing! We can't just leave this here!" Shouted McKay. An explosion hit the building and the roof started to collapse in around them. "Okay, we can go." Said McKay. They started to run out of the building towards the gate. "Ford, Peterson come in!" Yelled Sheppard. "Something might be blocking our radios" Hollered McKay. Overhead the sound of several wraith darts could be heard. "What are the wraith doing here, there's no people here to cull." Sheppard shouted to McKay. A dart started to head straight towards them. "Scatter!" Bellowed Sheppard. The dart fired an energy blast at the pair. The explosion hit very close to where McKay had been running. She was sent flying into a bush. Sheppard ran to where she had fallen and helped her drag herself up. "Come on, we're nearly at the gate." Shouted Sheppard. The gate was insight. Ford and Peterson were no where to be seen. "Dial it up, I'll cover you." Shouted Sheppard. "My GDO must have come off in the bush!" Shouted McKay. "For the love of… I'll dial the gate, you cover my six!" Ordered Sheppard. He ran to the gate and started to enter the address. McKay swung her P-90 round and crouched down by a large rock near the gate. Sheppard finished entering the address. "Come on!" He shouted to McKay. A dart started to make another pass. He aimed his gun and fired at the dart. Smoke started to come out from where he had shot. The dart fell off in the other direction. "Come on!" He yelled. He entered his GDO code. He turned to run into the gate. He felt the familiar rush of the wormhole and turned to wait for McKay to follow. When several seconds passed when she should have been right behind him, he started to get worried. "Come on doc! Come on, where are you? Come on!" When the gate started to flicker he started to panic, what if something had stopped her entering the gate. He should have made sure she was through first but she had been right behind him, where was she and what the hell was going on with the gate? "Come on!" He shouted. When she came through, he nearly had a heart attack. He rushed to her side…

"The rest you know." Major Sheppard said.
