Dacey flew to her feet as the sound of multiple guns being fired reached her. She could hear things falling on the floor. What was happening? The door in front of her was hit with multiple shots from what sounded oddly familiar. Still, the door didn't open. After the blasts stopped, a voice called, "Shaun, Dacey?"

It was Ronon. Shaun had stood and came to reside next to Dacey while the door had been shot. He smiled and yelled, "We're in here!" Dacey placed her palms on the door as she smiled. "I assume when is with you?"

Silence stretched between them. Finally, Wen asked, "How do we get the door open?"

Ronon muttered, "Shoot it."

Shaun snapped his fingers a few times and pointed to the door, a trait he picked up from Rodney. "Ok, if you haven't shot it, there should be a panel on the right side of the door. The cover plate should have an Ori symbol on it."

Metal scraped against metal as they slid it across to reveal keys on the inside. Ronon frowned as Wen said, "Yes. There are a bunch of random keys. Now what?"

"Describe the symbols to me. If there is one with the Ori symbol, don't push it."

Ronon's frown deepened, "Why?"

"Look, it would set off the alarms. It's a distress button."

Ronon lifted his eyebrow and turned his back to the door, surveying the hall. He glanced down at the detector. It showed nothing. Wen was describing the keys; each was a curved or straight line with dots everywhere.

Shaun's eyebrows knitted together in confusion. The keys were unfamiliar. They were different than the older Wraith's language and consoles. He muttered, "Dang it. Alright, press the button in the middle. It is most likely the middle because it is most important."

Wen jammed the button and the door opened. Shaun relaxed and appeared relieved it had even worked. A white smile spread across Dacey's face as she stepped into the hall beside Shaun. Stepping into the hall, Dacey muttered something to herself in Slavic. Wen pulled a pistol from a holder on her leg under her pants and handed it to Dacey. She took it and brought it up to survey the hall. She was annoyed that she no longer had her weapons or vest. She deftly took the life signs detector when it was thrust into her free hand. Ronon fell in line with her as she began towards the transport rings. Suddenly, the air around the group shimmered and turned white. The next thing they saw was the bridge of the George Hammond. The commander, Siler, sat in the cushy chair for the commander. He looked up and said, "My ship just arrived. We were on the far side of the Pegasus galaxy. What can we do to help?" The group lowered their weapons. Dacey stepped forward, "We need to draw the hive away from Earth and manage to contact… the Travelers. We need people who have advanced ships."

Siler nodded and turned to a scientist who had appeared, with a pad, at his side. He whispered something to her and she walked away. "Dacey, take your team to the ring room and we will transport you back to Atlantis. In the meantime, we will distract the Wraith while you contact your sister."

Dacey turned and stalked out of the room, at the mention of her sister. Shaun sighed and followed. Wen and Ronon shoved their guns back in the holsters and trudged behind, disappointed they wouldn't get another fight. Before the group could ring to Atlantis, the hive turned and fled. It was obvious they would return after making a few repairs. The only certain thing was that they were coming back.

The rings materialized the four in Atlantis's ring room. A few medic personnel appeared. Jennifer Keller gave her son a hug and turned her attention to Wen's wound. A stretcher was wheeled in from the hall. Wen grimaced but, hopped on. Keller pushed her out, aiming for the infirmary. Dacey began down the hall for the control room with Shaun and Ronon in tow. When she got there, Abbie turned from the screen hanging behind control consoles. A damage report on the Hammond popped up as it took another hit. "Major, I need options."

"We need to contact my sister. Last time I checked, she ran the show with the Travelers and we are going to need their help to win this. Permission…"

"Granted," She turned to Zelenka, who was working on a science console. "Dial up the Stargate on the lead Traveler ship. With any luck, Lin will be on board and in command."

The frazzled Czech nodded and dialed quickly. His glasses were askew and he absent mindedly shoved them up his nose. Radek dialed; the Stargate symbols locked and the wormhole exploded outward in a burst of blue. Dacey watched it lock. Once it was, she took the stair two at a time to the Stargate. With no hesitation, she stepped through the event horizon.

On the other side, security persons stood with guns pointed at the gate. Dacey stepped through into a Traveler ship. Wires and tubes hung from the ceiling. The bronze metal clanged under Dacey's boots. She reflexively put her arms up in surrender. A woman approached from behind the officers. Her wavy auburn hair hung past her shoulders, framing a pale face with large green eyes. It was her baby sister, Lin. Her thin frame seemed imposing in her dark brown pants and long sleeved shirt. She glanced to the officer beside her and said, "You can lower your weapons. It is my sister."

They did as they were told while Lin lowered a glare to Dacey while Dacey lowered her arms to her sides. "Why are you here? You know I dislike your company."

Dacey gave a tight smile, "Nice to see you too. Not exactly a warm welcome but, I didn't expect one. I did't come on a personal visit. Atlantis needs help and we need the Travelers. You are our only allies with engines advanced enough to reach Earth in less than an hour."

Lin stuck her chin out and placed her hands on her hips. "Fine. Just because I dislike you doesn't mean I won't help. Are you under attack? And, if so, by who?"

"Wraith with an Ori ship. They combined the technologies in a… deadly way. Our ships can hold their own against Hives but, they are having issues, if you know what I mean."

Lin cocked her head and pretended to consider her options. After a few moments she replied, "I will bring my ship and request two of the other Traveler ships to come. I also may have an ally that will help. They have space faring ships. However, they don't use them and hide. To convince them, you will have to come and ask yourself. They don't like go-betweens. Are you prepared to gate to their world now?"
