Chapter 2

"How are the trade talks doing?" Sheppard asked Teyla as they walked though the town.

"Ok, I guess, but something doesn't seem right." Teyla said looking around to make sure no one was within earshot of them.

"I know I feel the same way. That guy wanted us to come here as soon as possible and is making us to stay here even though we don't have to."

"I also saw some symbols."

"Symbols?"

"They looked Wraith."

"So, it's probably one of those stories of the harvest thing that's suppose to happen soon,"

"No, theses symbols are in Wraith." Sheppard gave Teyla a confused look.

"I got Ronon to come with me to look at the symbols and we think that the symbols are a way to pray to the Wraith."

"Pray?"
" I also think the people here worship the Wraith." This was enough to stop Sheppard in his tracks.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not really sure, but it seems this town as well as the other towns on the planet look at the Wraith as gods."

"We should regroup the team and head back to the jumper."

"Ronon is in town getting more information."

"Crap."

"What's wrong?"

"McKay is in the building in the center of town. Get Ronon and head to the jumper. I'll get McKay and then you can fly in the town and pick us up." Sheppard said running to the center building, Teyla started to look for Ronon. It's too bad they were to late to do anything. Wraith darts flew though the dawn sky, dropping off some Wraith at the center of town. Everyone near the center bowed down and prayed to the Wraith as they drew their stunners.

McKay was using the Ancient scanning device to see if he could find anything like an "anti-Wraith weapon thingy" as Sheppard put it.

"I never get any respect for what I do. I mean… I put my life on the line everyday, but no. I can't even get coffee when I want it." McKay said to an unfortunate soul whose job is to watch over McKay in the center building. The man watching over McKay left the building when he heard footsteps.

"I mean come on! I take on the Wraith on my own and I save all of Atle… I mean my planet. What I get? Nothing that's what! Hey? Where you go?" McKay asked turning from his work. The last thing he saw was a blue light.

Sheppard was jogging towards the building McKay was in when three shots of blue lights flew over his head. He dived for cover and landed behind a barrel. He looked for where the shots came from with his P90 at the ready. He saw about ten Wraith heading towards his position. He radioed Teyla, what he heard did not help situation.

"Sheppard, me and Ronon are under heavy from the Wraith. Where are yo…" After that was static.
"Teyla! This isn't good." He got in a prone position and shot at a Wraith killing it after a spray of bullets went though it's amour. Unfortunately a Wraith dart flew overhead with its beam on.

24 Hour later in Atlantis

"Dr. Weir?" Asked a man at Dr. Weir's office.

"Yes." Said Dr. Weir.

"We got a problem, a big one."

"What's wrong?"

"The planet Sheppard's team is on, the one where they were staying over at for the night."

"Yes, him and his team are running late, but I don't think it's that big of a problem to cause concern."

"Well yes, but that's not the problem. The problem is the Daedalus picked up two Wraith cruisers in orbit of the planet when it was heading here."

"What? Do you know if Sheppard's team got away?"

"No, but Caldwell said he would get as close as he can get to scan for their transceivers. He asked that if you want to ambush the ships that he will need the Apollo to guarantee a small chance of destroying both ships before they get a signal out."

"Ok. Tell the Apollo to backup the Daedalus in case that they find out if Sheppard's team is on board one of the Wraith cruisers.

"Yes sir."

A/N: So? What do you think? I know it's shorter then the first one and that I didn't even try make a cliffhanger, but...
