Earth, Antarctica, Antarctic Base; March 15, 2009, 12:35

With Atlantis on Earth, it was moved to its original home in Antarctica. Residing in its original home, researchers could do more research without discovery of the city.

Although they had done as much as possible looking over the continent, things were still being found by researchers. It would be one of those days that Elizabeth Weir's legacy would be found.

Rodney McKay was working to find out why a section of the underground caverns had a shield on it. Samantha Carter was with him, they were trying figure out how to lower the shield.

"What the hell is this?"

Rodney turned to find Sam having lowered the shield and inside the room laid a frozen stasis pod, that was it. Both went in and looked at the pod, Rodney used a sleeve to wipe the frost away and they saw the child inside.

"Oh my God." Sam's hand flew to her mouth, "it's a child, and something about her seems familiar."

Rodney found controls on the side of the pod and brought up information, "I wish Elizabeth was here."

"Why?" Sam looked at him and he pointed to the screen, Sam came around.

"Pure Ancient, Elizabeth knew not only how to write and read but she could speak it fluently. To open it, it has to be activated verbally."

"I'll get Daniel down here," Sam walked to the door, "just stay with her and call Jennifer."

Sam left and Rodney looked at the girl, she seemed so young for an ancient and she was beautiful with wavy brunette hair. "Who are you?"

Rodney heard a voice in his head; it was a child's voice. My name is Ardelis, who is there?

"Is that you?" He placed a hand on the pod, "can you hear me?"

Yes, I cannot read your thoughts, what is your name?

"Rodney, Rodney McKay, we're gonna get you out of here. Just hang on."

Is my mother there, her name is Elizabeth, Elizabeth Weir.

Rodney was quiet, what could he say to this child, an Ancient, who called Elizabeth Weir her mother? She was alone, alone but powerful, she had telepathy and wanted her mother as any child would.

Rodney, are you there, is my mother there?

"Elizabeth died a few years ago; she protected the city of Atlantis. We tried to save her but it was useless…I'm sorry."

Janus called my mother 'Atlantis's savior,' if she died protecting the city, she did what she was born to do. It's been so long since I've heard voices, you can open the pod, I can tell you what to say.

"I don't speak Ancient, how do you speak English?"

Janus taught me, my mother had taught him…partially but enough. He also learned from those who resided on Earth before I was born. Say these words 'pario vita,' it means 'bring forth life,' say it Rodney.

Rodney looked at the pod, "Pario vita."

The pod opened and Rodney gently picked up Ardelis, she was frozen and cold.

"Hold on Ardelis, 1'll get you warm."
