Zola walked with Wen to armory two. Abbie had just asked them to arm themselves. Wen had insisted on visiting her dad first. Ronon Dex had gladly given Wen his gun and had even given Zola one just like it, but the power cell was blue.

Once they arrived at the armory, Zola greeted the Marine suprivising distribution. She batted her eyes at him and flipped her hair back. The long brown mane hit her back gently. Zola asked sweetly, "Can you please arm us, muscles?"

The soldier looked at her, with a longing in his eyes. He was mesmorized by her beauty and quickly did what she had asked. Zola strapped on the vest he handed her and clipped on the magazines he shoved her way. Finally, she received a P-90. Zola smiled, revealing a perfect white smile.

Zola batted her eyes a few more times before flirting, "Thanks. I really needed to get a big gun. I wouldn't want to be fed on before you could ask me on a date, now would I?"

The Marine practically drooled at the last remark. His baby face betrayed how few dates he had gone on. "Yeah, I want you to live. You want to go on a date with me, after this?"

"Maybe."

Smiling, Zola turned and walked down the hall towards the gate control room, Wen in tow. Wen wore no armor but, had wore instead a leather tank and pants, with matching boots, and had Ronon's gun in a holster on her belt. The outfit reflected how similar to her father she was. Wen turned and glared at Zola.

"Do you have to flirt with everything in a uniform?"

"Yes, well, at least it works for me. You couldn't charm anything. I can, so I use it to my advantage. Guys always fall for it."

Rolling her eyes, Wen didn't respond. She had the "whatever" look on her face. The pair walked on, passing few people in the halls, most were armed for battle. As they neared the gate control room, Abbie hurried by, as she slid a her Atlantis jacket on. Zola called, "Abbie, where are you headed to?"

Turning half way through putting the jacket on, Abbie responded, "Oh! I'm going to the gate control room. Atlantis is about to exit the wormhole. I need to be there when we do. What are you guys doing?"

Wen spoke briefly, with her voice that could make milk sour, "Heading to the gate control room. We wanted to know if we could help. I want to be involved in the battle."

Zola nodded in agreement. Both waited for Abbie's response.

"Well, I guess. We might not need to leave Atlantis, if Shaun and Rodney can modify a couple of drones."

Wen inclined her head and stared down her nose. She glared at Abbie, clearly wanting to just invade the Wraith and kill as many as possible. After all, she was a warrior.

Abbie sighed and tried to smooth things over, "If we end up gating to the ship, you will be the first know and go."

Wen's glare softened a tad and Abbie knew she was happy with the compromise.

Zola cleared her throat, causing Abbie to jump. "Sorry. So, shall we?" Abbie nodded and Wen turned her glare to Zola. Zola raised an arm in the direction of the gate control room, "After you."

Wen quickly stepped into the lead and Abbie followed. Zola tagged along behind the duo. When they reached the gate control room, the scientists and soldiers working all looked up. A soldier passed Abbie a Zat and a vest. After zipping up the vest, she grabbed the Zat. She thanked the Marine and walked to the balcony overhanging the gateroom. Dacey and her Marines glanced towards her, all were squatting. She called down, "Get ready. We will drop out of the wormhole in 30 seconds."

Dacey turned and looked at her Marines, "Turn on your personal shields. Get weapons ready."

The soldiers hit the buttons on the bracelet and yellow field appeared around each one, changing to enclose their specific shape. The Marines and Dacey held up their weapons and shifted to be better balanced in their squatting positions.

The blue streaks around Atlantis ended and Earth appeared. It could be seen through the various windows. However, floating between Atlantis and Earth was the Wraith hive with Ori technology. Single person Wraith ships, drones, flew to and from Earth in a flurry. Most, stayed around the hive though.

Abbie's jaw dropped as a squadron of drones headed towards Atlantis.

Shock reverberated in her words, "By God, what have they done?"
