I want to thank everyone for their comments on the story and the amount of followers who are following the progress. I want to let everyone know if you haven't seen my other story(s), but I am currently attending college and I will be taking summer classes so don't expect an update over the summer, I will update the story after summer classes on the first week of August. Now to answer a question many of you have been wondering, in my story Stargate Atlantis takes place in season two after episode 5 Condemned, so that both the UNSC and expedition have equal playing fields, I am not going to favor one side over the other. Thank you again for your support and comments and sorry I won't be updating over the summer.
Pegasus
M37-469
Designated M37-469 by the Atlantis expedition was four members of AR-1 investigating the planet for anything to help them in their fight against the Wraith that plagued the human populations in the Pegasus galaxy.
Leading AR-1 was Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard an officer in the United States Air Force, Military commander of the Atlantis Expedition, a skilled soldier and pilot, he is considered the brave leader on the team.
With him is three other individuals all exceptionally skilled. One of these people is Doctor Rodney McKay a brilliant astrophysicist, and one of the leading experts on not only the Stargate and wormhole physics, but also Ancient technology, chief Science Officer for the Atlantis expedition and is consider the brains of the team.
The other two being native to the Pegasus Galaxy, consider to be the most skilled warriors in the expedition, Teyla Emmagan leader of the Athosians along with Setedan Ronon Dex, former runner and ex-military, these two make up the muscle on the team.
As the best team on the expedition continue their investigation, McKay as usual speaks his discomfort. "Does anyone else think this is a waste of time, I mean what are we expected to find on this planet besides bugs, mud, and oh! That's right hunger anybody hungry."
Sheppard was getting annoyed with McKay. "McKay we just got here and already your complaining."
"It's not complaining more like stating an obvious fact" said McKay as he continued walking behind the rest of the team.
Ronon walked up to Sheppard. "Why do we bring him along with us." asked the Setedan warrior
"I've learned that it's best to have him with us in case we come into anything that might need a distraction." said Sheppard
"I heard that!" stated McKay annoyed at the answer Sheppard gave.
"I wasn't trying to keep it a secret." countered Sheppard
As the team continued their walk, they were unaware of a ship in orbit of the planet about to make first contact that could change the fate of the galaxy.

Orbit
UNSC
Praeter
Bridge
On board the bridge of the Praeter Captain Alton was looking at a holographic image of the planet on the holotable, it was scrolling down images of information on the planet.
"Sir we've taken position orbit of the planet and have begun scanning for any anomalies." said Lieutenant Henderson executive officer on the Praeter.
"Good work Lieutenant." As the two walked over to the viewing port to take a look at the planet a terminal where an officer is working at began beeping.
"Sir the sensors have detected an object on the planet near a clearing." said the officer
Before the Captain could ask, Doctor Crane came onto the bridge "What kind of an object" asked Crane
The officer looked at Crane and then at the Captain waiting for an order, the Captain nodded his to the officer to answer although Alton did thought about waiting a couple of seconds to teach Crane a lesson.
"The object appears to be circular and placed in the ground to keep it standing, there also appears to be something else near it, but small compared to the other object." said the officer
"Bring up a holo image of it on the table." said Alton, as the men walked over to the table an image of a ring like device appeared, from closer inspection the ring has symbols on it. "Is that some kind of language?" asked Alton
"We've run it through translators and it doesn't appear to be any language we've encountered." said the officer
"This could be first contact, Captain." said Crane excited by the possibility of meeting aliens that might be friendly.
Yelena appeared on the holotable. "I have detected no artificial structures besides the one on the planet, but I have detected what appears to be four life signs."
"Alien?" asked Alton
Yelena shook her head. "No, and you're not going to believe this."
M37-469
Surface
As AR-1 continued exploring the planet, Ronon held his hand up to signal the others to stop "What's up?" asked Sheppard
"I thought I heard something." said Ronon un-holstering his particle magnum in anticipation
"According to the Ancient database this planet is uninhabited, there's nothing here besides us." said Rodney in disbelief of Ronon.
"It has been 10,000 years Rodney, a lot can change over that time." said Teyla while also lifting up her P-90 in anticipation
"Look all I'm saying if there is something here, it probably isn't significant to warrant concern." replied Rodney
As he finished that sentence they all began hearing a high pitched noise coming from above and in the distance they see what looked like a small airplane heading their way.
"Does that look significant enough for you Rodney." said Sheppard "I think we need to get the hell out of here."
"Wai.. wait ma.. maybe we should make contact, I mean it's not every day we encounter a technologically advance race in this galaxy who can hide from the Wraith." stated McKay
"I like it too, but not when they have an advantage that can put us at their mercy" said Sheppard "Will make contact through the gate, now let's go."
AR-1 began running back to the Stargate as the plane was approaching their position
Pelican 3
On board Pelican 3 was a squad of marines preparing their weapons, leading these men was First Sergeant Brown. "Listen up ladies we are about to venture on an alien planet to capture what appears to be humans."
The marines all stared at their Sergeant with confused looks, one of these marines spoke up "Sir I thought we were in another galaxy?"
"We are, so that's why we need to capture these four individuals alive, understood." said Brown
"Rules of engagement sir?" asked another marine
"If fired upon, you are to return fire, but not to kill or mane." replied Brown
Many marines wanted to voice their opposition, but was stopped when the pilot came on the radio "Sergeant their making their way to the ring."
Brown laughed. "Those four are about to be surprised."
M37-469
As AR-1 continued running, they made their way into the clearing, but soon stopped, seeing another plane hovering over the Stargate. The plane had already dropped off what appears to be a group of humans surrounding the gate. As they tried to turn around the other plane came up behind them unloading their own troops pointing their weapons at AR-1, one of the soldiers that came off the plane yelled at them. "DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND SURRENDER!"
"Ah! guys what do we do?" asked McKay, as he freaked out by the fact their trap like mice in a corner.
"I say we shoot our way out." said Ronon his Setedan blood boiling for some action.
"Colonel I think we should consider surrendering." said Teyla, being the wise clear headed type on the team. "If we are to have any chance at negotiating with these people and convince them we mean them no harm, we need to show our part first."
"I don't believe, they think we can harm them, Teyla, but your right everyone lay down your weapons." said Sheppard
"Seriously, we've taken on worse than this." said Ronon not liking the idea of surrendering.
"I know big guy, but were outnumbered and out gun" replied Sheppard "Our best chance is to show these guys we come in peace, and if not, Weir will contact us when were over due to schedule in and hopefully she can either negotiate with these people or send in the cavalry." said Sheppard as he began unclipping his P-90 and his side arm laying them down on the ground, his team followed suit and lifted their arms in the air signaling their surrender.

UNSC Praeter
Bridge
On board the bridge Captain Alton was receiving a message from the pelicans of their success of capturing the four individuals on the planet. "Good job" said Alton "Now bring them up to ship for interrogation."
Alton turns to Crane. "Doctor we've secured the area, get a team ready to begin studying that ring, find out what it does."
Crane nodded his head and hurried off to begin, as he was leaving, Dare came on to the bridge "My people are ready to interrogate the four captured individuals."
Alton was hesitant to allow ONI to interrogate the individuals, but conceited. "Very well, but I want to be present when you do."
Dare nodded her head. "So are these people really human?" asked Dare
"Life signs say they are and we got reports that they do look human." said Alton
"How is that possible, I thought we were in another Galaxy?" asked Dare
Both of them looked at Yelena questioningly. "I assure you, I am correct we are in a different galaxy." said Yelena defending herself
"Any theories then?" asked Dare
"Multiple theories, Doctor Crane and I made." said Yelena
"What are they?" asked Alton trying to get some semblance in this unexpected discovery.
"From what we know about the Forerunners from classified information, we know that they wiped our galaxy of life, but not before creating the Ark which would allow the reseeding of all life back into the galaxy."
"We know all this, we were debriefed on all this before we left." said Dare tired of Yelena dragging it out then she needed it to be.
"Yes I am aware, now if you would stop interrupting every minute, I'll get to my theory." said Yelena looking at Dare in a smug look, Dare wanted to say something but held back. "Now as I was saying, we know they reseeded the Galaxy back with life, we also know that they made a trip to another galaxy, so it's possible that they may have seeded life elsewhere in the universe."
Alton and Dare were surprised by the theory and while it almost sound convincing, Dare had objections to it. "You expect us to believe that there is another evolution of humans out in the universe somewhere?" asked Dare "I would have believed that if we were in Path Kethona, but for the Forerunners to have seeded in a different galaxy seems farfetched." She looks at Alton "Why would they go through all that trouble?"
"To ensure our survival as a species, or considering there was still some Flood in our galaxy to ensure humanity was not wiped out, there are a number of theories, but we can't be sure on their motives." said Yelena
Alton quiet throughout the conversation was thinking sporadically "Yelena is it possible the Forerunners seeded this galaxy other than humanity/" asked Alton
Yelena thought it over for a second "Possibly"
Alton looked at Dare who also understood what Alton was getting at. "The Covenant?" asked Dare
Alton nodded his head. "If we are to assume the Forerunners were responsible for humans being here then we have to assume the species of the Covenant are here as well."
"Your assuming that if the Covenant species are here, they will once again declare war on humanity." sated Yelena
"You have a different opinion?" asked Alton
"Assuming they were seeded with the rest of humanity, we can't assume they will go on another genocidal rampage to wipe out humanity, were in a different galaxy, where all species evolved on different planets, things change." said Yelena
While Yelena didn't have enough evidence to prove anything she said was true, both Alton and Dare were going to find out soon.
Space
Pelican 3
AR-1 was currently handcuffed and stripped of all equipment except for the clothes on their backs, sitting across from one another, McKay and Teyla on one side and Ronon and Sheppard on the other.
As they contemplated on what to do next, McKay looked out the window and a look of shock was on his face. "Guys you going to want to see this." said McKay
As the others turn their heads towards the window they saw the biggest ship they had ever laid their eyes on. "How big is that thing?" asked Sheppard
Before anyone could answer a man came up in front of them "3.5 kilometers." said the man in combat gear, the man had a smug look on his face as if saying 'yeah our ships are big'.
AR-1 looked at each other with surprised looks "Still think Weir is going to help us?" asked a reluctant Ronon
"Right now, I'm hoping she can negotiate." said Sheppard concern by the size of the ship.
"I am more curious about these people." said Teyla surprised that these humans could build such a ship while the Wraith maintain a dominant force in the galaxy and doesn't allow any race reaching a level of technology that could threaten them. "How is it that they have maintain secrecy from the Wraith."
"That is something I intend to ask, along with other questions, especially about that ship." said McKay
Before anyone else could say another word, the pilot came on the intercom and told to prepare for landing.
UNSC Praeter
Docking bay 5
When Pelican 3 landed and each member of AR-1 departed with an escort, they were aw-struck with what they saw inside the ship and couldn't believe any humans in Pegasus could have built such ship with the Wraith around, but as they enjoyed the site seeing each member was then split up for security reasons, Sheppard tried to protest, but changed his mind when he had what looked like an assault rifle pointed at his head.
UNSC Praeter
Outside
Interrogation
Sheppard was brought into a room with a table and two chairs on opposite sides of the table, he was seated and strapped to the table to prevent him from moving. The soldiers departed the room leaving Sheppard. "You know when someone is under arrest, their given one phone call." said Sheppard in front of a glass.
Outside the room in front of a two way mirror was Captain Dare, and Captain Alton looking at Sheppard, as the two study the man, a nurse came into the room and drew some blood from Sheppard to his reluctance, as the nurse came out, Captain Alton spoke up "Have Doctor Collins examine that sample ASAP."
As the nurse left Dare and Alton looked back at Sheppard. "So what do you make of all this?" asked Dare
Alton had no words to describe the situation they were in. "Not a clue, but if you're going to interrogate them, I suggest you do it soon and find out what are we dealing with."
Interrogation
Room A
Dare understood and entered the interrogation room, Sheppard immediately looked at Dare as she walked to the chair opposite from him. As Dare began setting up, Sheppard decided to speak first. "You know if you guys wanted to talk all you had to do was ask and we might have considered coming by and chat."
Dare didn't respond and stared at Sheppard for an awkward amount of time, before speaking "Who are you?" asked Dare.
"Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard U.S. Air Force." said Sheppard.
Dare raised an eyebrow. "Where do you come from?" asked Dare.
Sheppard sighed. "I come from all over the place." said Sheppard averted to tell the truth.
"I'm curious about where exactly you came from." said Dare determined to get the truth. "Namely what's the name of the planet you come from."
"I'm more interested in who you people are and where you came from." replied Sheppard.
"It doesn't work that way." said Dare with a grin on her face.
"What doesn't work?" asked Sheppard faying innocence.
"The situation you're in, is where I ask the questions and you answer." said Dare more sternly "Now, how did you get here, we didn't find a ship and there doesn't appear to be any kind of outpost on this planet."
Sheppard had confused look on his face. "We came here through the Stargate." said Sheppard, but Dare gave him a confused look as if she didn't understood. "Ring of the ancestors!" said Sheppard as many people in the Pegasus galaxy know it by that name.
Dare shook her head. "Never heard anything like that before, but maybe you can tell me what this is." she said as a holographic image of a ring appeared in front of Sheppard
"That's the Stargate." said Sheppard while also amazed by the holographic image that appeared before him.
Dare raised an eyebrow when he mentioned it the ring on planet as the Stargate. "What is this Stargate?" asked Dare
Interrogation
Room B
In interrogation room B on a different deck was an ONI agent interrogating Doctor McKay who was explaining to him about the Stargate and how it works.
"How many times must I tell you people, how the Stargate works?" said McKay annoyed at his interrogators repeat of questions.
"As many as it takes Doctor." said an ONI officer "Now explain it again."
McKay sighed a heavy released frustrated at these people "Fine! The Stargate creates an artificial wormhole that allows near-instantaneous travel from one planet to another as long as there is a Stargate on the other end."
"How do you control it?" asked the officer
"The Dial Home Device or DHD for short controls the Stargate." said McKay
The officer brings up a different image on the holo projector. "You mean this thing?" asked the officer
McKay nodded his head "Yes!" said McKay emphasizing on the word. "Do you people have any idea how frustrating this is."
The officer just stares at McKay, expressionless of any emotion. "Tell me about the symbols on the... ah DHD, what are they?"
"The symbols are constellations in space used to dial a specific Stargate to travel too." said McKay
"So randomly pressing symbols won't work?" Asked the officer
"Unless you know specifically which symbols to press, you can't just random dialing." replied McKay
"How many symbols does it require to dial another planet?" asked the officer
"Six symbols represent points in space, forming three-dimensional coordinates. The seventh represents the point of origin, a glyph which is unique to each gate." said McKay
As the officer began writing up notes, McKay spoke up "Now that, I have answered everything about the Stargate, I feel I am entitled to ask questions of my own." said McKay annoyed and hungry, he was determined to get something from these people.
The officer was about to write McKay off, but was overwhelmed with McKay's questions. "First of all this is not how you treat people when you meet for the first time, secondly, I want to know what powers this ship, it is massive so the requirements must be enormous, thirdly how have you managed to build something so massive that you managed to hide from the Wraith?"
The officer lifted his eyebrow in an arch curious at McKay's last question. "Who are the Wraith?"
Interrogation
Room C
In a different interrogation room, Teyla was being questions by another officer, this was about the Wraith. "Ms Emmagan tell me about the Wraith?" Asked the officer
While Teyla was surprised about these Humans to begin with, but for her to meet another group of Humans who have never heard of the Wraith was still a surprised to her "The Wraith are the enemy of every humans in the galaxy." said Teyla
"Every human?" asked the officer "How many humans are there in this galaxy?"
"I cannot be certain, but I believe millions." said Teyla.
"These Wraith are aliens?" asked the officer.
Teyla nodded her head "Yes they are."
The officer then brings up images of other aliens on the holo projector. "Do the Wraith look like any of these aliens, or have you encountered aliens like these?" asked the officer.
As each image appeared before Teyla, she was surprised to see such creatures as these. When the last image ended she shook her head "No! I have never seen such creatures as those before." said Teyla.
"What do these Wraith look like then?" asked the officer.
Teyla went into detail about what Wraiths look like and the ONI officer was surprised to hear they, almost resemble them in appearance.
"These Wraith are the dominant species in the galaxy?" Asked the officer.
Teyla nodded her. "They have terrorized the people of this galaxy for over 10,000 years." said Teyla.
"If there so powerful why haven't they wiped out your people?" Asked the officer curious about the Wraith.
"The Wraith need humans to survive, we are nothing, but food to them." said Teyla with anger in her voice at how her people have been treated by the Wraith.
At that moment the officer was taken aback by what, Teyla said "These Wraith actually eat humans?" asked the officer not sure if he wanted to know the answer.
Teyla shook her head. "They do not eat like you or, I would, they suck the very life force out of you until your nothing but a husk of your former self."
The officer was wide eyed after hearing that. "How do they do that?" asked the officer
"I do not know how they are able to do it, but they use their right hand that has some sort of opening on their palm and they slam their hand into your chest and begin feeding on you." exclaimed Teyla
The officer began wondering how dangerous these Wraith are. "Are the Wraith advance technologically?" asked the officer. "Do they have ships like ours?"
"The Wraith have ships, cruisers and hive ships." said Teyla "The cruisers act as escorts, while the hive ships are carriers that can release a wave of darts that act as their fighters, these fighters can also be used to sweep up humans on planet's during a culling."
"Culling?" asked the officer "What's that?"
"A culling is the term we use when the Wraith appear over a planet and begin taking humans so they can feed on them." said Teyla
As the officer begins writing down everything, Teyla spoke up. "You and your people are in danger." said Teyla
The officer looks up at her "From what? The wraith?"
"Yes, the Wraith do not allow any humans reach a level of technology that can threaten them, you and your people are at risk if the Wraith find out."
The officer just didn't wasn't scared. "Lady our people have faced far worst then anything these Wraith can throw at us, I think we can handle them." said the officer
Teyla shook her head "You overconfidence will be your undoing, the Wraith are many, too many." said Teyla
"How many Wraith are there?" asked the officer humoring her
Teyla leaned forward. "There are at least 60 hive ships or more in this galaxy."
The officer smug look soon turned to concern.
Interrogation
Room D
On a different deck, an ONI officer was trying to interrogate the fourth member of the humans they capture all he got was name. "Mr. Dex this would go a long way for you if you would just answer our questions." said the officer
Ronon just looked at the officer with a scowl look and while he was handcuffed on the table, he was buying his time for the right moment.
The officer began playing with his tablet swiping through other reports on his colleagues and their success at getting information from the other prisoners. "Your teammates are cooperating, why aren't you?" asked the officer, but Ronon remained silent "Do you not speak Ronon Dex?"
"When I got nothing to say." replied Ronon
The officer shook his head and called in the guard, not getting anywhere with him, but as the guards began disconnecting him from the table, Ronon decided to act and attacked the guards while still handcuffed, he was able to knock out both. The ONI officer tried to respond, but was knocked back by the table, Ronon kicked at him, he then un-handcuffed himself and grabbed one of their assault rifles and headed out the door, only to be confronted by a 6'9 tall person wearing armor.
Ronon aims the weapons and fires only for the heavily armored person being protected by a shield, Ronon seeing this drops the weapons and throws a punch only for the armored person to grab his fist in hand and used his other to knock back the Setedan Warrior to the wall of the interrogation room.
The ONI officer soon got back on his feet and composed himself. "Thank you Spartan, I wasn't expecting him to attempt that."
The Spartan took off the helmet to reveal a woman behind the mask. "Not a problem, the Captain order us to be posted at each interrogation room just in case something happened, but I have to admit, this person has some skills."
ONI officer while not at all pleased by the man who humiliated him was not going to praise his attempted escape, soon other officers came in and dragged an unconscious Ronon away. This was going to be difficult to explain to Captain Dare he thought to himself.
UNSC Praeter
Bridge
On the Bridge, Captain Dare was reporting her findings as well as her officers findings to Captain Alton on Colonel Sheppard's team.
"That's pretty much everything we could get out of them." said Dare
Alton was looking over the report and had to admit, that this was one strange story they were selling to his people, besides the fact that one of them tried to escape. "Do you believe anything they said?" asked Alton
Dare shrugged. "Considering their prisoners, they could weave any kind of tale to us, but without hard facts it's their word against our lack of intelligence in this galaxy." said Dare
Alton began thinking and while he can't trust these people because they were human, he needed to have more than what they were saying. "Doctor Crane is currently on the planet, I forwarded all the information we manage to obtain about the... what do they call the ring again?" asked Alton
"They called it a Stargate." said Dare
Alton nodded to try and remember it next time. "Right, the doctor is currently on the planet with a science team to study the Stargate, I was about to check in on him." said Alton as he headed to another room that would project a holographic image of him on the planet.
UNSC Praeter
Holo room
As Alton entered the holo room so did Dare, Alton looked at her questioningly. "What?" asked Dare
"Shouldn't you get back to interrogating?" asked Alton
"I represent the Office of Naval Intelligence on this mission so, I need to be a part of every discovery, besides we're giving them a break from interrogation and let them think it over about cooperating with us."
While Alton never trusted spooks and didn't like one looking over his shoulder, he couldn't argue with her when it came to ONI business, he conceited.
M37-469
On the surface of the planet, Doctor crane with his science team had set up a small camp to begin studying the ring. When he received information on the ring now known to him as the Stargate and what it could do, he was amazed by its capabilities.
The first thing he did was to check if it was made by the Forerunners and while to his dismay it did not, he was still excited about the discovery. He had people examine the Stargate, while he examined what controlled the gate now known to him as a DHD.
He managed to open the DHD and saw it didn't have circuitry, moving parts or chips, but crystals imbedded into slots inside the DHD. He began to take one out for study and had computers connected to the DHD to see if they can access it's operating system, but as he was doing that a holo images of Captain Alton and Dare appeared right before him.
Crane straightened himself. "Captain Alton, Captain Dare, I wasn't expecting you both so soon." said Crane
"We finished interrogating Colonel Sheppard and his team and wanted to see how things are going down there." said Dare
Crane was excited and couldn't wait to tell them. "Well the moment we got here we set up a camp to do our research on the now known to us as the Stargate." said Crane with a smile. "After we set camp up we first determined if it was of Forerunner origin, unfortunately it is not." said Crane
"So the Forerunners didn't build this Stargate?" asked Alton
Crane shook his head in disappointment. "No, but we decided to check the Stargate out, it's not every day we come across something as amazing as this." said Crane. "We did test on what the Stargate is made of and found it has unique properties not found in our galaxy, the material is very superconductive which makes sense in order to generate the amount of energy needed to create a wormhole."
"Have you tried turning it on?" asked Dare
"The Stargate is always on, but I did attempt to activate the wormhole and didn't get anywhere." said Crane. "I believe Doctor McKay was right about knowing how the symbols work and being able to correctly put them in the order needed to activate the worm hole."
"That seem like a flaw design." said Dare "How are people suppose to know if they can't understand the correct order of symbols?" asked Dare
"I believe it might be a safety feature so that others can't find planets that are inhabited by other races, or it could be they have to be advance enough to understand how the gate works." said Crane. "Now that we know each symbol is a constellation in space we can use our computers to give us the correct symbols to activate the gate."
"How many symbols are on the gate and how many planets can it connect?" asked Alton
Crane raised his finger and shook it, he was way ahead of Alton. "We did the math, there are 36 symbols on the gate, now if seven symbols are necessary to connect to another gate, then there are 1,168,675,200 possible connections."
Alton and Dare were speechless at that revelation and couldn't believe the Stargates could connect to that many planets.
"Are you certain?" asked Dare
"I've done the math three times already" said Crane. "I'm currently attempting to connect our own computers to the DHD to see if the gates have some other connections to each other, hopefully will be able to..." Before Crane could finish the Gate started activating for the first time in front of the UNSC personnel.
Crane, Alton, and Dare were surprised to see this "Doctor did you do something?" asked Alton
Crane shook his head "No, I didn't get a chance to."
As the Gate finished lighting up all the symbols the Gate activated taking everyone back on the sudden unstable vortex that shot out of the Gate and settled back on the event horizon.
Crane went over to his instruments. "Are you recording this?" asked Crane to one of the other scientists
Crane turns his head to Alton and Dare. "This is exactly the same kind of readings we got from the sensors the first time we detected the wormhole." said Crane excited about the sudden activation of the gate.
"This is amazing our understanding of wormholes has increased and we..." Crane was interrupted by one of his people
"Doctor Crane were getting some kind of signal coming from the Gate." said the scientist
"What kind of signal?" asked Crane
"I think it's a radio signal." said the scientist.
Alton deactivated the hologram of him and Dare.
UNSC Praeter
Bridge
Alton walked onto the Bridge from the holo room and headed over to communications officer "Officer!" said Alton
The Officer saluted his Captain "Captain!" said the officer
Alton saluted back. "There's a radio signal coming from the object down on the planet, I want you to find the frequency now."
The officer nodded his head and went straight to work and after a few seconds put the signal on the intercom.
"Colonel Sheppard this Doctor Weir your over due for a check in." said a woman on the intercom. "Colonel Sheppard please respond."
Every officer on the bridge was looking at Alton to see what he was going to do. After a minute he nodded to his officer "This is Captain Alton of the UNSC Praeter" said Alton "The person calling herself Doctor Weir, I have Colonel Sheppard and his team, and I think we need to talk."
So now were getting closer to actual negotiations and hopefully an alliance, but that won't mean they will be sharing their technology right away it takes time for people to know each other and slowly begin talks of trade. I will be skipping some episodes, but will mention them in past tense in my story, I hope all of you enjoyed this and again sorry I won't be updating over the summer.
