Hey everyone if you haven't read my other two stories, then let me say I am currently in the next semester of college and I won't have time to focus on the my stories, but the next one will be in November.
Atlantis
Conference Room
After Weir and Sheppard and his team returned to Atlantis and had time to get checked out by Doctor Beckett especially Ronon, they all went to the Conference room to discuss what had happened.
"So mind telling me exactly how you encountered these people?" asked Weir trying to piece together the time they went to the planet and meeting a technologically advance race of humans.
Sheppard went into detail explaining their encounter with Captain Alton and his people, how they sent some kind of transport ships to the planet to capture him and his team.
"So they have something like a Puddle Jumper?" asked Weir
"More like a small airplane combined with a troop transport." said Sheppard "Looked pretty impressive, fast too."
McKay then spoke up in annoyance. "Yes, yes, I'm sure their vehicles are impressive, but let's not forget the 3.5-kilometer-long ship they have and oh... right they came from another galaxy." said McKay looking at everyone in the room.
"That's one thing I wanted to bring up with you Rodney." said Weir looking at her Chief science officer. "Do you think they came from the Milky Way?"
"Maybe, but for them not knowing what the Stargate was is surprising, especially if they came from the Milky Way." said Rodney
"Where else could they have come from Rodney?" asked Sheppard in a sarcastic manner.
"I don't know." said McKay in annoyance. "If I had access to their navigational computers or they gave us coordinates, I could tell you where they came from which I highly doubt they'll tell us."
"Any guesses you could make?" asked Weir
"You're kidding right?" asked Rodney "Do you know how many galaxies there are in the universe let alone how many there are in the local group?"
"So we can assume they came from the local group?" asked Weir trying to pin point a location.
"This is all guessing at this point." said Rodney "If I get access to their FTL drives and know how fast it can go, maybe I can figure out if they did come from one of the other galaxies in the local group."
Weir was going to ask another question, but Rodney interrupted her. "But let's not all of us forget." said Rodney looking around the room "We have just encountered a group of humans that are not only technologically advance, but out of all the intergalactic races we have encountered, being only one still alive, the Asgard, it is rare to find someone with that kind of level of technology."
"Were a long way from sharing any technologies Rodney or for us to check out some of their equipment." said Sheppard
"Colonel Sheppard is right." said Teyla "Hopefully in time when we have gained their trust in us, we maybe be able to form an alliance."
"The best way to gain their trust is to send them all the information we have on the Wraith." said Weir "Everything we have discovered since last year up till now."
"You sure that's a wise thing?" asked Ronon skeptical of these new arrivals.
"It's better than travelling around the galaxy without knowing what's out there." said Sheppard knowing full well of the consequence of his actions when he accidentally woke up the Wraith. "If we had known about the Wraith before coming here, we would have taken precautions."
"That's why I don't want them to be off guard." said Weir feeling the need to build a bridge between her people and Captain Alton's.
"Assuming they don't turn back where they came from and head home." said Rodney "I mean there wouldn't be anything here for them to stay except fighting a new enemy."
"There's us." said Weir "I mean they were pretty shocked to see humans in this galaxy and to find out there are humans in another galaxy."
"Well we can only hope we don't scare them off with information on the Wraith we give them." said Sheppard
"I too am hoping they stay." said Teyla "They could turn out to be good friends and an ally against the Wraith."
While Ronon didn't like being captured by the UNSC and hated getting hit by one of their soldiers, he had to admit that having them in this galaxy could turn the tide in the war with the Wraith.
"I hope so too." said Ronon all eyes on him. "It's just one more group fighting the Wraith and they seem like, they can bring a fight to the table."
With everyone agreeing that the UNSC presence could bring morale up for the many people of this galaxy, their only hope was for them to stay and help fight or exchange knowledge and technology.
UNSC
Praeter
Conference Room
1 Week Later
After a week had passed since Doctor Weir and Colonel Sheppard left back to wherever they came from, Captain Alton had pelicans scout the system for any useful resources, and had teams on the planet scouting the entire world below them for anything useful besides the Stargate.
In the conference room Alton and his senior staff were present to discuss the recent information they obtained from Doctor Weir, after Yelena scanned the information to determined it was safe. Weir had sent them all they knew about the Wraith. Alton and his senior staff go through the information to know this new threat.
"This is incredible." said Collins "If all this is accurate about the Wraith, then they are an interesting species we have ever encountered."
"What species have we ever encountered was ever interesting?" asked Faison remembering the threat from the Covenant. "All the species we've met have wanted to wipe us out, now this species wants to eat us."
Collins corrects her statement. "I'm talking about their physiology." said Collins "If what this Doctor Beckett says in his notes are true about the Wraith, then we have come into contact with a species that is close to our kind in a way."
Yelena appeared on the table and went into more detail. "According to Doctor Beckett's notes the Wraith evolved from an insect called the Iratus Bug that fed on the human populations in this galaxy when the Ancients began seeding life on planets." said Yelena who was also going over the information.
"So the Ancients created the Wraith?" asked Alton
"That's Doctor Beckett's theory." said Yelena "He believes it was an accident."
"An Accident that doomed their civilization." said Dare noting the big mistake that was made by these Ancients.
"Let's keep moving on." said Alton, not wanting to be repetitive over the issue. "Doctor Collins is there anything else about the Wraith we should know about?"
"A lot sir." said Collins flipping through her data pad. "The Wraith seemed to be a lot stronger than average humans."
"How strong?" asked Alton concerned about this news.
"Don't know the measure of strength, but according to eye witness reports from Doctor Weir's people, they were able to send a full grown man across a room with one hit from there arm." said Collins
"Bet they'll have a lot more trouble throwing a Spartan across a room." said Faison flexing his muscles to show off his augmentation procedure.
"Well short from being a Spartan, every other regular person will have difficulties if they have to face them in hand to hand combat." said Collins "But that's not the worst part."
"There's more?" asked Alton not liking the sound of that.
Collins nodded her head. "Apparently the Wraith have abilities." said Collins
"What kind of abilities?" asked Dare very concerned about this news.
"They posses some sort of telepathy, that can make you see things." said Collins "They also have developed a telepathic network, allowing for communication over vast distances."
"Well that's perfect." said Dare sarcastically "Not only can they make us see things, but how the hell do we intercept their communications if they communicate telepathically."
"The bright side is the Wraith can't read the minds of humans, so we don't have to worry about any information leaks." said Collins. "Also an individual Wraith can't use this network between stars."
While the knowledge of the Wraith not being able to read the minds of humans was a relief, they were not out of the woods yet.
"Is there any more abilities we should be aware of?" asked Alton not sure he wanted to know
"There's one other ability that's while very fascinating, you might find it as a hindrance." said Collins "The Wraith depending how recently they have fed, have healing abilities that can recover from most wounds."
Everyone looked around the room and found that information concerning, but Faison wasn't concerned one bit "Doc, can a bullet kill these things?" asked Faison
Collins nodded her head. "Yes, but like I said, depending how recent they fed, a Wraith can heal quite fast."
"Okay so I'll carry more ammo when I meet these things and an extra shotgun." said Faison not giving one consideration about the threat these Wraith might bring, when it comes to ground warfare.
"Major!" said Alton, not liking his demeanor when going over information about the Wratih. "I have the utmost confident in your abilities, but let's not underestimate these Wraith, after all they did defeated a technologically advance race."
"We did to Captain." said Faison with a grin on his face. "Kick the Covenant's ass."
Alton then change subjects. "Doctor, what can you tell me about the Wraith's feeding?"
"The Wraith feeding process is complicated, even Doctor Beckett and his team don't fully understand it." said Collins "But, during the feeding process, the victim is injected with a special enzyme, it strengthens the human body temporarily and ensures that the heart continues to beat."
"Wait a minute" said Faison, now interested in this information. "The Wraith make you stronger?"
"Why would they do that?" asked Dare confused by this piece of information.
"This is so the victim does not die immediately." said Collins "The feeding process is so traumatic and without the special enzyme, the body of the human would shut down far sooner than the Wraith would like, simply put, they make a victim stronger so they can take more time to kill them."
"Well that's interesting." said Faison sarcastically. "Not only do they suck the very life out of you, they take their sweet time in doing it."
Alton pinched the bridge between his eyes, from hearing this. "Anything else we need to know?"
"Doctor Beckett once did an autopsy on a Wraith and discovered they possess the same organs as we do." said Collins "Which makes sense if they evolved from this bug that fed on the human populations which mixed human genetic makeup in with its own genetic makeup."
"Dare what can you tell me about their society?" asked Alton changing the subject "Do the Wraith have a government?"
"Doctor Weir and her people's understanding is that the Wraith act like a Hive-based society similar to some species of insects." said Dare "Something similar to the Yanme'e from the Covenant, but more complex."
"What do you mean?" asked Alton
"It's unknown how many Wraith Hive ships have Queens, but considering that some insects of species only have one Queen, to have multiple Queens would make it difficult to cooperate." said Dare
"But are they a united species?" asked Faison wondering if they were going to face a whole army of these things
Dare shrugged unsure of herself. "Don't know, but considering they're the dominant species in the galaxy, is something we need to consider." said Dare
Alton then turns to Crane, who has not spoken since the conversation began. "Doctor Crane, what can you tell me about the Wraiths technology?" asked Alton
Crane looked up from his data pad and saw all eyes were on him. "Well um, it's quite fascinating really, from what I have read, the Wraith technology is organic based." said Crane
Everyone didn't seem to have a clue with what, Crane said and needed better clarification. "Doctor can you be more specific?" asked Alton, wanting Crane to clarify.
Crane cleared his throat. "According to Doctor McKay the Wraith ships are entirely organic." said Crane
"How is that possible?" asked Dare "I never heard anything like that before."
"Well the flood is an organic species." said Crane "When they infest a ship, they spread their organic form throughout the vessel inside and outside on the outer hull."
"Yes a ship that, they infect and use to fly around the galaxy." said Dare "A ship made of metal and mechanical parts, not entirely organic."
"I don't know what to say, its technology we've never encountered before." said Crane "I mean if we ever capture one, I might be able to tell you how."
"It's fine doctor." said Alton breaking up Dare's interrogation. "What can you tell me about their offensive and defensive capabilities?"
"The Wraith have plasma based weapons, but I don't know how powerful they are compared to the Covenants plasma weapons." said Crane "As for defensive capabilities, they don't have any kind of energy based shields or any form of shields in general."
Everyone in the room looked at Crane in disbelief and had a hard time in believing him "So you're telling us the Wraith have no defense at all against weapons fire?" asked Faison
"I can't be certain if they have really no defense." said Crane "I mean there could be some kind of protection in the form of their organic ships that we don't know about or they might have something similar to our point defense guns that protect our ships from missiles or fighters."
"It is possible since their ships are organic in nature, it might be able to repair itself." said Yelena voiecing her own opinion in the conversation.
"But no shields." said Faison "No shields mean we hit them with everything and be able to destroy them."
Crane didn't answer as a man of science he could only give theories. "Maybe!" said Crane
"Doctor Crane, how much damage could our MAC guns do on a Hive ship?" asked Alton
"Ahh! With everything I have read from Dr. Weir's people, we could inflict serious damage to their ships, it might be able to pierce right through them." said Crane "The bottom line I can't give you definite answer without going into combat."
With this new information, Alton felt very relieved that they weren't up against a technologically superior foe like the Covenant.
"For a species that has no shields, how the hell did the Ancients who from what Doctor Weir told us in the information was technologically superior?" asked Dare
"Well given our own experience, Captain Dare the UNSC had no shields and were technologically inferior to the Covenant, but we managed to defeat them in the end." said Crane
"With all due respect Doctor Crane, but if the great Schism hadn't forced the Covenant into civil war that led to the UNSC teaming up with the Elites, Erde-Tyrene would have been glassed." said Yelena reminding the UNSC personal that they were close to losing their home world.
"Granted the fracturing of the Covenant as an empire helped our people in the end." said Crane "But up until that moment we did hold out against the Covenant for 27 years until they found our home world."
"I'm not denying your capabilities in the war." said Yelena, while looking out her fingertips. "No matter how un-elegant it was, still showed how a less sophisticated society can survive against overwhelming odds."
"Not to mention the Flood were able to bring the Forerunners to their knees, until they activated Halo." said Collins joining in on the conversation when it comes to advance vs. less advance societies.
"I think we've gotten off course on the matter." said Alton "But I am curious how the Wraith managed to beat these Ancients?"
"According to the information provided to us." said Crane while swiping with his fingers on his data pad. "While the Ancients were technologically superior to the Wraith, they only lost the war because they were vastly outnumbered."
"How vastly outnumbered?" asked Faison
"I.. I don't know, but according to Doctor McKay there are at least 60 Hive ships or more in this galaxy." said Crane "Not counting cruisers."
Alton nodded his head and had to keep in mind, while they had the upper hand in technology, the Praeter was just one ship and can't take on an armada.
"Faison, what can you tell me about their infantry weapons?" asked Alton
"Not much." said Faison going over the information. "According to Colonel Sheppard, the Wraith use what they call stunners."
Alton raised his eyebrow. "Stunners?"
"These stunners are designed to immobilize their victims or targets so they can capture them alive." said Faison. "My guess is that they prefer their prey alive to feed on later."
"Makes sense." said Dare "If they need to feed on humans, a dead human is no good to them, so all their infantry weapons are non lethal."
"Okay then moving on." said Alton switching topics. "Doctor how goes your study of the Stargate?" asked Alton changing topics from the Wraith to the Stargate.
Crane began switching data pads for the information on his research. "Very well Captain." said Crane "I managed to interface the DHD with one of our computers and managed to access what could be considered an imprint."
"Imprint?" asked Alton raising his eyebrow in an arch, signifying that he doesn't understand the term.
"Apparently Stargates when activated to another planet sort of leaves like a thumb print on glass, but with addresses instead, I managed to pull 50 addresses from the DHD." he bring up a holo image of the addresses.
"Is that all you can get?" asked Dare
"No!" said Crane "Now that we know the symbols on the Stargate are constellations we can use our sensors in conjunction with our computers to create known gate addresses making it easier to traverse the galaxy."
Dare then had a thought. "Could we use known addresses to travel to these places by ship?"
Crane thought about it for a moment. "Yes, we could easily translate these symbols into star charts that we could put in our navigational computers to travel by ship." said Crane
"Like the address, Doctor Weir gave us?" Dare asked mischievously.
Alton saw where Dare was going with this and stepped in. "Were not going to spy on them." said Alton
"Captain with all due respect, you may trust these people, but in ONI we trust no one." said Dare "We need to know more about them."
"In time we will know more." said Alton "But trust works both ways."
"Captain!" said Yelena interrupting Alton and Dare's show down. "Does that mean were staying?"
All eyes were on the Captain. "I haven't made my decision yet." said Alton with uncertainty.
"Then what is the point in going over all this information." said Yelena mimicking human stretching. "I could have done a lot with my time with other meaningful things."
Alton leaned back in his chair ignoring, Yelena's comment and looking at everyone else. "What do you all think we should do?" he asked seeking advice from his crew.
Crane immediately spoke up. "Captain, given everything we know, I believe it is important for us to stay and learn as much as we can."
"I disagree on that." countered Dare "The Wraith represent a serious threat to our galaxy."
"What makes you say that?" asked Faison not afraid of the Wraith after humanity pushed back the Covenant
"According to, Weir and her people the Wraith feed on humans to survive." said Dare "Last I check there is still 16 billion humans in our galaxy."
"The Wraith find out about that, it would be like an all you can eat buffet to them." remarked Yelena jokingly.
"The benefits out way the risk." countered Crane "Not only will we have made contact with another evolution of humans and be able to share knowledge and technology, but these Ancients were advance, I mean the Stargate is incredible can you imagine if we could reverse engineer one of these things."
"We would be opening the door to a lot of potential enemies." said Dare staring at Crane's delusions
Crane shot back. "Captain I understand the risks, but imagine making allies we desperately need in our galaxy." said Crane "Allies we might be able to trust."
"It would be nice to have allies that weren't former enemies that were hell bent on the extinction of our species." said Faison never liking the idea of trusting the Elites.
Alton thought about it for a moment and while he understood both Crane and Dare where there concerns and reason are, ultimately the choice was his.
"We have one year before we have to go back home." said Alton standing up and walking over to a window. "I believe in that time we should make the most of it here."
While Crane was excited, Dare got up from her seat and walked over to the Captain "If we're going to stay then we need Intel."
UNSC
Praeter
Hangar
Dare and her people were getting a UNSC Prowler ready to leave the hangar on the Praeter. Alton walked in the hangar and saw, Dare supervising the loading of supplies on the prowler.
"Captain Dare!" said Alton "Is there any way I can convince you not to go."
Dare stopped what she was doing and looked at Alton. "No offense to Doctor Weir and her people, but I prefer gathering information myself and not relying on someone I'm not holding my hopes on."
"Still don't trust them?" asked Alton
"Considering it's been a week and the Wraith haven't shown up, means they either haven't sold us out yet, or waiting for the right opportunity." said Dare
"They might surprise you." said Alton
"I'll be the judge of that." said Dare looking at her data pad. "I'm about to take off soon."
"How long do you want to stay out there?" asked Alton
"two months." said Dare
"One month and not a day more." Countered Alton, Dare wanted to protest, but Alton refused. "If you're not back in one month, I'll consider you and your people KIA."
"Don't shed a tear for me when I'm gone." said Dare as she steps into the prowler, the doors close behind her, and Alton steps back to allow it take off and out the hangar doors.
Yelena appeared next to the Captain. "Well at least people won't have to feel uncomfortable with her around." said Yelena
Alton glares at Yelena and walks away "What?!" said Yelena "Miss her already?" asked Yelena to Alton who was by now out of her range.
One Month Later
Hyperspace
USS
Daedalus
Bridge
The Daedalus was currently travelling in hyperspace to the UNSC's last known location. It had been a month since last time they communicated when Weir sent them information on the Wraith. The past week they attempted to dial the planet, but couldn't make a connection, so when the Daedalus arrived to Atlantis, Weir sent AR-1 to check on them.
Currently AR-1 was on the bridge with Caldwell going over what they knew about the new humans in the galaxy.
"A 3.5 kilometer ship?" asked Caldwell, as AR-1 nodded their heads. "I wonder what kind of firepower they've got for something that huge?"
"Well whatever it is we should be careful." said Sheppard. "I recommend we drop out within communications range so as not to scare them into shoot first ask questions later."
"Agreed." said Caldwell as, he walks over to his chair and sat down in it. "Do we know anything else about them, like why are they here?"
Rodney walked over to the side of the bridge. "It's not like we didn't ask when they had us as prisoners." said Rodney as he examines a terminal. "It could be anything, from exploration to colonization, or they might have come across Ancient technology in their galaxy that pointed them here."
"I thought you said they didn't have Ancient technology in their galaxy?" asked Caldwell
"I said they didn't have Stargate's where they came from." said Rodney "They could have come across any other Ancient technology."
"Yeah, but for them not to have a single Stargate seems odd." said Caldwell
"Especially since that's the Ancients trademark." said Sheppard
Before anyone else could say another word the navigator reported their close arrival to M37-469. Caldwell ordered them to drop out near communications range.
M37-469
Solar System
The Daedalus dropped out of hyperspace and began broadcasting on all frequencies toward M37-469.
"Attention to any vessels in the area this is the Daedalus." said Caldwell. "Were with Doctor Weir's people, we've come to check on why the Stargate is not connecting from our end."
After a while a response came "The ship calling itself the Daedalus, prove to us you're with Doctor Weir's people."
Sheppard stepped up. "This is Colonel John Sheppard, you folks took me and my team and held us for questioning once."
"Why have you returned?" asked the man on other end of the radio
"Like we said we came because we couldn't connect to your planet by Stargate." said Sheppard "We wanted to make sure nothing was wrong."
After a minute, the Daedalus was cleared to proceed to the planet, but not deviate from the path they sent for them to travel to. When the Daedalus arrived, Caldwell could finally see for himself on how big the ship was, he made sure to stay out of weapons range.
"Now what?" asked Caldwell, but before anyone could speak, a transmission came on the radio.
"Colonel Sheppard, this Captain Alton." said Alton "What can we do for you?"
"Well we just wanted to make sure everything was okay." said Sheppard easing into the conversation, but McKay wanted some answers.
"Like why isn't the Stargate working?" asked McKay, Sheppard gave him a glare to tell McKay to be quite.
"You're welcome to come down to the planet to discuss all this." said Alton
"I hope the hospitality will be better this time around." replied Sheppard not wanting to be handcuffed again.
Alton assured Sheppard that this time around they were going to not over react to the presence of humans in this galaxy.
Puddle Jumper
On the Puddle Jumper AR-1 came aboard and flew it out of the port side hangar and began making a descent to the planet where the UNSC provided landing instructions, along the way they were escorted by what looked like fighter interceptors, very different from the F-302's, but not to different form an F-16 in design.
As the puddle jumper was flying McKay spoke. "Why didn't we just beam down to the planet?" asked McKay
"Elizabeth doesn't want to tip our hand when we come to the negotiating table to trade in technologies." said Sheppard. "Also she doesn't want them to think we would sneak in on board their ship anytime or their base of operations."
As the Jumper began entering the atmosphere of the planet, they noticed that the coordinates they were heading was miles away from the Gate. When they passed through the clouds, that's when they saw it, a very large complex built into a mountain, with other facilities around the mountain, one was a runway for their fighters, another was connected to a lake and there was a large dome of some kind. The Jumper landed on an LZ pad that connected them to the facility.
Ignis Base
Conference Room
Ignis base was built using materials on the Praeter, from this they were able to have it operational in a month, creating many facilities. It was decided because of dangerous presence of the Wraith and should the Wraith ever find them, the main facility was built in the mountain, like castle base was on Reach. The mountain added a layer of protection.
While the main facility was protected, other facilities not so much. Being far away from home required a lot of resources especially when you're not going to be able to resupply at the nearest docking station, so the Praeter was equipped with an agriculture unit to grow food, and water filtration unit to filter out water of contaminates, luckily for them there was a lake close by to the mountain.
Sheppard and AR-1 was escorted through the facility carrying only a pistol with them and nothing more. They were brought to the conference room where Captain Alton and a few guards were waiting for Sheppard and his people.
"Colonel Sheppard!" said Alton with an undertone in his voice suspicious of their presence. "We weren't expecting you."
Sheppard nonchalantly walked over to a seat and sat down at the table. "We couldn't make a connection from our planet to yours." said Sheppard "We were concerned something may have happened."
"And decided to come unannounced." said Alton staring at Sheppard. "I appreciate your concerns, but we deactivated the Stargate so no one can discover our presence here."
"You deactivated your Gate" said McKay in surprised. "How? And that kind of defeats the purpose of not wanting people to know your here, I mean who deactivated the gate in the first place?"
"We didn't disable it or took it apart, we just placed a barricade in between the ring to prevent a connection." said Alton "And this planet was uninhabited when we arrived, and according to your information the Wraith have been in this galaxy for 10,000 years, I don't think they're going to come back to this planet."
McKay lifted his head up and snapped his finger. "Right about the Wraith! Okay so you blocked your gate from being used, I thought you actually disabled it, anyway since we're here, I or we we're hoping to check out that ship of yours."
Alton stares at McKay in silence and McKay got the hint "Or next time."
Sheppard then took back control. "So I see you guys have settled in just fine." said Sheppard impressed with how fast they built their base. "Did you guys happen to go over the information we sent you?" asked Sheppard wanting to change subjects
"We received your messaged and, I must say we were surprised at the information and was concerned." said Alton
"Does that mean you guys are going to start fighting the Wraith?" asked Ronon
Alton looked unsure of himself. "This isn't our fight and most of my senior staff believe we shouldn't get involved in this conflict."
"Surely you can provide some assistance against the Wraith." said Teyla wanting to save as many lives as possible. "And you would not be alone in the fight."
"I understand your peoples need for allies against hostile aliens." said Alton remembering how many people wished for a miracle during the great war. "But I cannot risk the safety of my people to start a war against a threat this severe." said Alton
"Then why set up this base?" asked Ronon giving Alton a glare. "Why even stay if you're not going to fight?"
Sheppard wanted Ronon to be quite and not start problems, but Alton a veteran of the Covenant war wasn't going to back away. "Despite everything, we still need to know a lot more about some of the things you've said before."
Sheppard was curious and wanted to learn on what would compel Alton to stay "Like what?" asked Sheppard acting curious.
"The fact of the matter you've pretty much changed the history of my people." said Alton "Assuming what you have said is genuine."
"What could possibly make you think everything we have said to you was a lie?" asked McKay annoyed at Alton's assumption of deceiving him and his people.
"That my people's existence was the result of aliens you called the Ancients." said Alton
"The Ancients are not aliens like the Wraith, they were the first evolution of humans that seeded all of our galaxies." said McKay indicating with his hand in a circular motion to include Alton, Teyla, Ronon, Sheppard, and himself. "With the second evolution of humans."
"That's the part that will impact my society after we had that war with aliens." said Alton "But many won't take your word without evidence."
"We are evidence; I mean this whole galaxy is evidence of the Ancients actions." said McKay getting worked up.
Sheppard saw how McKay was acting and intervened. "Look it doesn't matter who's right in this regard." said Sheppard
"Ahh! That would be me." said McKay defending the work the SGC did to find out about the Ancients.
Sheppard gave him a glare to shut up. "The point is we could be allies and allies help each other out." said Sheppard. "Now there is still a lot of Wraith out there and we could use your help."
"I understand what you're saying and I've been where you're at Colonel, but that fact remains the Wraith are unaware of us." said Alton making a point about his last statement. "From the information you provided my people is that the Wraith require humans to live, they feed on them."
Sheppard nodded his head. "Yeah, but that hasn't stopped us from fighting." said Sheppard "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm not AFRAID for my well being." said Alton with emphasis on the afraid part. "I'm afraid the Wraith will find out about us and the many humans left in my galaxy."
Sheppard understood and gave a remorseful look on his face. "Yeah I understand where your coming from." said Sheppard "Last year when we arrived we didn't know about the Wraith and got into some trouble and our people were captured, one of them was fed upon for information and told the Wraith about us, about a new rich feeding ground."
"And the Wraith tried to get to your world?" asked Alton
"Tried being the word." said McKay "The Wraith know about our planet, but they don't know the location or have viable means of getting there."
Alton tilted his head in confusion. "The Wraith don't know the location and they don't have the means to get there?"
"The Wraith Hyperdrive technology is inferior to our own and yours, I assume" said McKay "So you see they know about our planet, but don't know where it is and don't have the means to get there."
"They know about you and your planet, but my world and galaxy is still safe." said Alton "I can't risk the Wraith knowing about my people."
Ronon had enough and stood up from his chair. "Let's go everybody, these people aren't going to help us."
"We are still interested in trade and knowing more about your people." said Alton "That is the only reason we're still here."
Just then an officer came into the conference room and spoke to Alton, he then got up from his chair, AR-1 did the same out of courtesy. "One of our ships just came back from deep space." said Alton
"Came back?" asked Sheppard "Came back from where?"
Ignis Base
Control Room
In the control room of Ignis base, the personal there were monitoring at every station and terminal. Each one was specific to certain tasks that help make the base function in high conditions.
Alton walked in the control room followed by AR-1 and their guard escorts, Alton walked over to one of his people "Sergeant!" said Alton getting his attention "What have you got for me?"
"Captain Dare sir, she just entered the system and docked in the Praeter." said the Sergeant
"Patch me through to Lieutenant Henderson!" said Alton, the comms officer nodded his head and opened a channel. "Lieutenant how's Captain Dare?"
"Right here sir!" said Henderson
"Missed me that much, you couldn't wait for me to arrive on the planet?" asked Dare
Alton gave a small smile "Who else am I going to butt heads with." said Alton
"You got that A.I. that likes to contradict everyone." Dare said with a little humor in her voice.
"Only if there is someone more thick headed then Captain Alton." countered Yelena
Alton quickly changed the subject before these two started arguing. "Did you get any Intel while you were out?"
"I did, but it seems your entertaining guests." said Dare commenting on the ship that arrived.
"Doctor Weir's people arrived to check on why the Stargate wasn't working." said Alton looking back at Sheppard and his people
"Well there welcome to join us as I debrief you on what I got." said Dare
