Stargate Atlantis
Season 6
Episode 6
General Horton is at Stargate Operations waiting for Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard and his team to arrive and make the first voyage through the Stargate from their new base of operation. Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex, John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, and Aiden Ford are in the locker room getting ready for their off word mission. They are heading to PBR-55 a world according to the database was a shipyard and a Lantian engineer believes they will have additional parts to help fix both the Hammer and the other Aurora-class ship. The Lantian engineers along with Rodney McKay and Zelenka manage to find out why the ZPMs overloaded and fix the problem. Two new ZPMs are place into the power room and all the Lantian Armaments are online and the forward shields are operating like they should and so are the vertical but the rest are down. As of right now General Horton wants the Hammer to be the top priority. Sheppard and his team arrived at the gate. Chuck dials PBR-55 and they go through the gate.
A day out to exiting from hyperspace over Earth, Colonel Steven Caldwell is on the bridge of the Aurora-class ship that has a hard name to pronounce. Steven was surprise to see that almost everyone that choose to come on the expedition decided to remain behind with the exception of Marks, Doctor Novak, Doctor Kavanagh, and several other crew Steven choose from Daedalus. Colonel Caldwell has already written his report also indicating that General Devon heath Horton should be relive of command for not following procedure and orders from both the IOA and Home World Command. Steven also knows that SG-1 will not back him since they are all good friends with him. Colonel Sam Carter is in the cafeteria getting a bite to eat before turning in. she is looking over the ship's history while she is eating. The ship has held its own against three Wraith Hive ships and their support vessels and won the battle. The ship has been in many engagements against the Wraith and also has lost two captains who joined with Lantian Foot Soldiers on worlds that where falling to the Wraith. She passes by two Lantians guarding the engine room as she makes her way to her quarters. She noticed that they are both armed with the same pistols the Replicators use and also have some sort of rifle over their shoulders. She approaches one of them. "Are you expecting trouble?" She asks them.
"No ma'am, she has percussion," they answer. They finally reach Earth. A Puddle Jumper takes them to Atlantis. Jenny Horton, three Lantians, and a medical team are there to greet them. As soon as they disembark the Puddle Jumper returns to the Aurora-class ship before it makes the jump to hyperspace. The Odyssey and the George Hammond are moving to intercept the Lantian ship the IOA want the ship to help crush the Lucan Alliance, but before the two Earth ships to get within range to beam troops onboard the Lantian ship jumps. Carter could help but smile. The Lantians protect their technology and she can't blame them especially if the IOA want to use them on the peoples of Earth.
"Sam, how is he?" Jenny Horton asks her.
"He's okay, just doing what we done before continue exploring Pegasus, make friends, and defeat the bad guys," Sam replies.
"Good luck Sam back at Stargate Command," she tells Sam. Hours later they arrived at Stargate Command. General Hank Landry, General Jack O'Neill, Richard Woolsey, Major Davis, and several other members of the IOA are waiting for them in the conference room. Many aren't happy with General Horton's decision and what transpire once they reach Pegasus. O'Neill and Woolsey had smiles on their faces. The meeting took an hour to finish and before it's was done. The IOA agreed to send the George Hammond and the Daedalus to the planet of Aquarius with additional civilians and military personal and resupply.
"Carter, did General Horton by any chance give you a grocery list and anyone he would like to have transfer to Aquarius Base or have me select new guys."
"Yes sir," he hands him a list. "He also request that Lieutenant Frank Spears and his team of Marines that are station in Iraq be resign to Aquarius Base. Doctor Zen who's been studying Ancient technology excepially ships is sent as well." Carter knows that Jack will approve everything.
"Sir, when are the ships leaving for Pegasus?" Sam asks.
"Your leaving with them Carter you will be in command of the George Hammond. The ships will disembark once the new personal for the new base are recruited and onboard the ships along with supplies." She didn't know what to say to Jack, but he knew by her smile that she was grateful.
Planet PBR-55, Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard, Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex, Rodney McKay, and Lieutenant Ford exit from the Stargate and had to walk two klicks to reach the old Lantian Structure. They enter the structure and headed to the control room before they left Aquarius base Rodney downloaded a detail map of the structure onto his laptop with the help of Déjà. Once at the control room Rodney initialized the controls and brings lights and a view screen online but he isn't aware that is also brought the structure's artificial intelligence online that has been locked out of most of the controls of the installation and it also activates robots that look like Terminators. Rodney tells Sheppard that the Stargate has activated Sheppard knows its time for their schedule check in. "Colonel Sheppard, this is Aquarius Base do you read over." Heath's voice says over their radios.
"Aquarius Base, this is HR-1 we read you over."
"Are you ready for the second team?"
"Yes sir," John replies. Heath turns to Lieutenant Philip who standing next to him in the control room. Lieutenant Philip joins him on the floor in front of the Stargate and they go through the Stargate one at a time. Lieutenant Philip and his team are all Lantian Marines they are HR-5. It takes an hour for them to reach the structure and join with Colonel Sheppard's team in the control room. Ronon and Teyla just went exploring the corridors on the other side of the control room. Lieutenant Philip came up to Sheppard.
"Colonel, did you see those Wraith bodies when you came in here?"
"What Wraith bodies?" John asks. Ronon and Teyla came back into the control room. They tell John that they found another dozen Wraith bodies in the corridor leading towards one of the shipyard's hangar bays. A Lantian marine named Jarvis drags in one of the dead Wraith Drones. Ronon and Ford inspect the dead Wraith.
"It only has one blast mark like from the Wraith Lethal Spear Rifle and the Lantian Double-Setting pistol." Ronon says. Two of Lieutenant Phillips men are checking out the shipyard. Everyone in the control room can hear gunfire coming from the direction of another hanger bay. Colonel Sheppard tries to contact the two Lantian marines but can hear their scream at that's it. They go to investigate the last known location of the two marines leaving Rodney with three of the Lantian Marines. They find the bodies of the dead Lantians one of them have blast marks just like the Wraith. Another Lantian has his chest ripped open. John splits his men up. Lieutenant Phillip and a Lantian marine are going in one direction. Teyla and Lieutenant Ford are going in another and Ronon and Sheppard are going in another. Rodney brings up the life signs detector but all he sees is them, he tells Sheppard that. Philip and his fellow Lantian marine come around a corner and see several gold glowing eyes looking back at them. All of sudden they start to take fire. The Lantian marine that accompanied Phillip is terminated before he had a chance to fire back. Phillip returns fire with his MP9 Submachine gun but it has no effect on the creatures. He runs away and pumps into something. The next thing he felt was a hand through his chest crushing his heart. The creatures continue to hunt down the intruders. Ronon and Sheppard are the next to be attack. Sheppard sees figures moving towards them. "Teyla, Ford," Sheppard calls out to them. The shadows return fire messing Ronon and Sheppard by inches. They return fire but nothing is stopping the shadows advance. As the shadows got closer they see the glowing gold eyes Sheppard and Ronon continue to fire. Ronon fires at one of them and with luck hits it in the head. Sheppard tries firing for the head but its having no effect Ronon takes out the second one too. Ronon and Sheppard approach the bodies and Ronon fires several more rounds into the creatures head until their eyes shut down completely. "They're machines," Sheppard tells him. All of a sudden more fire came towards them. Sheppard picks up one of the rifles and fire dropping another one. Ronon hits one in the head and it falls like a 2 ton truck. John radios Teyla and Ford, "Get your asses back to the control room we have a problem and we're getting the hell out of here!" He tries to radio Lieutenant Phillip but doesn't get any response from him or the other Lantian marine with him. John and Ronon double time it back to the control room. Teyla and Ford can hear John and Ronon shooting over the radio when he told them to fall back to the control room. They both think its Wraith. Just as they were fixing to leave the hanger bay where several Aurora Class ships are dock they take fire. They return fire striking the creature but it continues to advance that is when Teyla and Ford turn to run. Sheppard arrives at the control room and is explaining to Rodney what happen.
"What does these robots look like?"
"They have glowing gold yes humanoid in appearance much like the Terminators." Teyla and Aiden entered the control room out of breath. "Rodney seals the control room doors to the other part of the base." John says to him. He does just that. "We need to get out of here?"
"We can't this base is lockdown and I don't know why that is possible." A hologram of AI appeared.
"I've been a very naughty girl. The Lantians created me to protect this installation and I decided that they where a risk to this installation. So I activated my robot army and had my army cleanse this base. Now the Wraith arrived and I activated the bases defenses destroying their Wraith fleet with drones and Unman Interceptors. The troops that came through the gate my robots killed them. Would you like to see the recording Lantians? Now you will die, thanks from reactivating me Lantian." The hologram shuts off. John looks at McKay. She has basally all defenses, coms, and locking downs this base but I have control of everything else.
"While she was talking I mange to find some data on these robots and what this base was use for other than a shipyard." Rodney tells them. This base was where the first AI was constructed and another try with creating robots/machines to help protect the installation from Wraith attack and lifting heavy equipment. There was an incident the AI went rouge and killed everyone on this base. The bodies of the Lantians were burn so they couldn't ascend. I notice that they did put in a kill code to completely destroy the AI, but no failsafe such that are in Serenity and Déjà. They cannot harm human/Lantians without orders from the Royal Family, and the Lantian counsel. The only exception for that is if the Wraith gains a strong foothold and that is the only way to keep the Wraith from getting Lantian Techs. Now one Jumper manages to escape before the installation defenses where brought online which is why all the other AIs have failsafe."
"Rodney, how do we kill these robots?" John asks.
"The metal the robots are made out of is very strong impervious to small arms fire and even some explosions. A Drone or heavy weapons like an anti-tank weapon will work to destroy them. Now the Lantian Plasma Rifle which is this." Rodney picks up a weapon lying on the ground it looks like the Plasma rifle seen in the Star Trek. "The Lantian pistols are extremely effective against them after firing 2 shots. The Wraith Lethal Spear Rifle is also effective but takes many shots to bring them down. the head of the robots is their main weak point the Lantian weapons will drop them with one shot where the Wraith Lethal Spear Rifle takes multiple shots to finally drop them. Ronon your weapon work but it took 3 shots to the head to drop them."
"How many are left?" Ford asks.
"Inventory has 300 listed and I believe you killed 4 but no telling how many Lantians killed when the rouge AI unleash them on the base personal I don't think they had a chance to make it to the armories before they were all terminated." They go to a nearby armory to arm themselves with Lantian weaponry. They traded out their pistols for the Lantian Double-Setting pistols. They grab extra battery clips to reload once the battery reaches 0%.
"Make sure you have the pistols set to kill," John tells them but was mainly talking to Rodney. They go back to the control room. The rouge AI image appeared again.
"Your destruction will come fast because your race is a bunch of barbarians. My army will terminate you all and then the rest of your pathetic race and once we are done with humanity we will turn to the Wraith once all our enemies are gone. This galaxy will become a machine galaxy." A Lantian is hit in the shoulder by a robot that just came into the room. Ronon drops the robot with several well placed shot from the Lantian Plasma Rifle. A firefight breaks out. A Lantian throws a fragmentation grenade which of course didn't have any effect but it gave the Lantian time to terminate another robot. Rodney knows if he doesn't use the kill code that should terminate the rouge AI and in theory shut down the robot killers. John shoots another robot killer that broke through the control room wall. McKay gets up and runs out of the control room. Two robot killers see him running away and chase but Lieutenant Ford snipes both of them and he goes after Rodney to make sure the robots don't kill him. Sheppard, Teyla, Ronon, the three surviving Lantians took cover behind all the control room equipment located in a circle and tried to keep the robots from overwhelming them. Teyla ejects a spent battery pack and slaps in a new one. She fires into an advancing robot's chest dropping him after 5 shots but it starts to rise but two plasma blast hits the robot in the face. They are creating more cover for them because all the robots are converging on them but soon they'll be out of battery packs and then they'll get slaughtered.
"Hurry up McKay," Sheppard says to himself firing at a robot that tried to rush them. Rodney finds a transporter and pressed the button to get him as close to the mainframe room to use the kill code. He draws the Lantian pistol and sees one of the robots but with his back to him. He fires dropping the robot instantly. He enters the mainframe room and hooks his laptop cord into a port on the console. He types in a series of letters and numbers activating the kill code failsafe and was fixing to press enter when a robot throws him up against the wall. The robot advances towards him but Lieutenant Ford shoots the robot in the back of the head.
"Hurry up Rodney I'm sure that AI have already sent a message to its robots to stop you. Rodney looks at his laptop.
"Ford you're going to need to hold them off in need time to reboot the computer." Ford goes to the door. It opens and he nails two of them before they can bring up their own weapons. It does it two more times. "Hurry up Rodney Colonel Sheppard and the others want be able to hold out much longer." He presses enter. He hears the AI scream. The robots shutdown where they were standing some are inches from Sheppard, Teyla, Ronon, and the three Lantians.
"About time Rodney, a few more second we would have all been dead," Sheppard says over the radio. Ford and McKay return to the control room. Rodney types in a code to end the lockdown.
"It'll take a couple of minute for the lockdown to be totally lifted but that gives us time to get to the entrance. As soon as the heavy doors sprung apart a team of Army Rangers entered the base. They spot Colonel Sheppard. A lieutenant comes up Sheppard.
"What happen here sir?"
"Terminators happen lieutenant." The Army lieutenants have no clue what colonel Sheppard is talking about.
"Sir, we have two Jumpers outside, you've been overdue for a day. General Horton wants to debrief you immediately."
"What about the stuff in this base?"
"You will have to take that up with the general Doctor McKay." They board the waiting jumpers and headed back to the Stargate. The co-pilot in the Jumper dials the new base. They send their IDC through and then follow it through the gate. Once through the gate they go to the Puddle Jumper bay. General Horton is there to meet them. He tells them that they'll debrief in 2 hours. He sees the wounded Lantian. He looks at one of the Rangers.
"Why didn't you notify me that we had a wounded man?"
"Sir, he's not seriously wounded besides it's only a flesh wound."
"Private that is not flesh wound that's a 3rd degree burn plus a whole the size of a nickel in his arm. How did you get to be a ranger anyway? I want you on gate duty for the next three weeks." Heath looks at the other two rangers. "What are you waiting for an invitation get this man to the infirmary." He looks at the lieutenant and the lieutenant understood to get the hell of his sights. Lieutenant Ford, Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard, Teyla, Ronon, and McKay headed to the locker rooms to put away their gear. The other two Lantians saluted the general and headed to the mess hall. Heath just smiled the Lantians have learn Earth customs and how the United States Military works. Heath goes to his office. He fells just like General O'Neill when he took over the SGC all those years ago.
Two hours later, they are all in the conference room including the Lantian that was wounded during the mission. Déjà's image is also present. General Horton and Agent Bates in charge of the general's new intelligence network in Pegasus listen to their accounts as what happen at the base. Heath was very interest in the robots. That was when Déjà butt in. "Sir, you remember when you asked me how we were able to remove all those items from the Hammer while everyone slept." Heath nods his head. An image appeared in hologram form above the table. The others recognized them as the same robots they encountered on PBR-55. "During the briefing I check on these robots and found out the Lantians implanted three failsafe into the robots. First Failsafe is a kill code that will make them completely inherit, Second Failsafe are unable to harm Lantian personal or allies. Third Failsafe will deny any orders from an AI that has gone rouge. I sent what I found to Doctor McKay so he can verify it." McKay nods.
"She's right," he says.
"Apparently the Ancients where able to fix some of their experiments like the creation of the AIs and the robots that protect the installations they are in. I wish the Ancients where able to do that with the Asurans." The briefing lasted for another minute and then they depart.
