It had only been a week and despite a few minor incidents things were progressing well with the relocation of all gate activity to Atlantis. Meeting in the conference room was Gen. O'Neill, Gen. Landry, Col. Davis, Rodney McKay, Carson Beckett, Daniel Jackson, Cameron Mitchell, and Richard Woolsey.
"Let's get started, we're missing Gen. Caldwell as he is at the Midway station. We have some things to work out. For starters we have Atlantis, despite our best efforts still remains largely unexplored. Many sections while they have been visually inspected have not actually been investigated by our scientists to understand the technology in them."
"General, we have completed a sweep of the entire city, it took nearly 2 months with the 10 security teams, that has been completed. We have identified numerous labs and a large number of manufacturing facilities," explained Col. Davis.
"Jack, as you requested I began a search through the Ancients database looking for details about the different labs, the research going on in them and I can say, there is not a complete list. Records of the activities are very much scattered and based on the Lantean who entered the record and how well they kept it updated," quipped Daniel.
"We need to be extremely careful in many of those labs, we don't know what kind of rogue experiments could be going on. Another Arcturus or Janus's time-traveling device, or Attero device could be in any of them," McKay spoke up.
"That's my point we need to have the geeks check out these labs. Col. Davis I want these labs sealed until a science team has checked them out. If they contain something of value we can use now we put them to use, if they are suitable for someone to use, then they can become available as we need the labs, or if they are dangerous we need to fully understand them. Second McKay your the new Head of the Science, here on Atlantis. Col. Carter will be the Head of Science for off-world, the Hammond will be her mobile lab. McKay, I need you to put together science teams to start checking out these labs. In addition, I want to know what those manufacturing facilities manufacture." ordered O'Neill.
"I'll have Zelenka head that up. We have a couple of new guys that are showing themselves to be pretty adept at the Ancient technology. Rush, Brody, Volker, Lee, Parks, and Novak will assign them to Zelenka to investigate the labs. They should be capable of analyzing the labs without blowing us up!" explained McKay.
"Daniel, we need to clone you," explained O'Neill.
"Clone me? You really want two of me to badger you?" asked Daniel.
"Not physically clone you. We need additional translators, with the knowledge of history to make sense of things.", O'Neill stated.
"Well, I can give you some names of people who I think could add significant value. Sarah Gardner, and well there is Cassie.", Daniel replied shyly.
"Cassie? As in Cassie Frasier? " exclaimed Jack.
"She is aware of the Stargate, she already speaks Jaffa, knows a great deal about the Goa'uld. She has completed high school and is already in college. Now I'm not saying she goes off-world, but for translation and research she is probably one of the best we could get.", explained Daniel
"I'll have to consider this Daniel.", answered O'Neill, "Dr. Beckett what's the status of the Medical staff?"
"Ronon and Teal'c are keeping my staff busy with the recruits. We can barely keep them patched up broken bones, contusions, and concussions. I'm not sure what they are doing to them, but I don't think our recruits will survive another week.", explained Beckett.
"I was afraid of that, I'll look into that. Anything else?" asked O'Neill.
"Dr. Lam and Dr. Keller are doing great. We are bringing in some new staff, and Lt. Johansen is proving to be an excellent field medic. We are training her and hopefully others for more advanced field capabilities.", said Beckett.
"Dr. Beckett, we have identified a couple of additional medical bays in other areas of the city. I'll have the science teams examine those first if we need additional facilities.", Davis provided.
"Gen. Landry how about our SG Teams?" asked O'Neill.
"Well, our teams are busy helping coordinate the activities on P3R-112 to get it ready. A number of teams are installing ring transporters. The Tok'ra have provided ring platforms that are larger than our typical ring transporters in order to transport large quantities of supplies. We should be ready to receive the first refugees on time. Trying to sort how to merge the Atlantis teams and SGC Teams together.", replied Landry.
"Sir I have an idea on this. We should have two types of teams, SG teams that we have had typically, a manned team on foot, and then have the PJ teams that are teams based around the Puddle Jumpers. I would continue to lead SG-1 and Sheppard would lead PJ-1." explained Col. Mitchell.
"I like that Col. Mitchell. Gen. O'Neill you agree?" asked Gen. Landry.
"General, that's your call to make," replied Gen. O'Neill, "Can we give P3R-112 a better name?"
"The ancient database identifies the planet as Corlan.", explained Daniel.
"OK, then it's Corlan," O'Neill stated.
"One thing I would like to remind everyone is the I.O.A. is watching everything done here. So far they are excited with the plans that have been executed, in particular, the Wraith and the Pegasus galaxy evacuation. They did not like abandoning the people of the Pegasus galaxy, but at the same time, they felt they could not return Atlantis there to carry on the fight. They thank you for giving them a better option.", Woolsey stated.
"The I.O.A. is happy?" O'Neill asked in disbelief.
"On this matter yes they are," smirked Woolsey.
"Anyone else have anything they want to bring up?" asked O'Neill.
"General we have all of these science teams, exactly what are all going to be doing?" asked McKay.
"McKay, we're going to be going over every inch of this city, and learning the tech here. In addition, we are going to be going over every inch of a number of worlds looking for advanced technology to study. The Asgard and the Ancients have left us their technology as caretakers of their legacy. We will maintain that legacy and show not only this galaxy but others our role as the 5th race," explained Gen. O'Neill, "One other note I am sending the Odyssey to track down the rogue asteroid Anubis sent on a collision course with Earth. They are going to park it on the dark side of the moon. That will provide a source of weapons-grade naquadah."
"Col. Mitchell, I'd like you to consider Cap. Hailey as a replacement on SG-1 for Col. Carter. She is a protege of Col. Carter's and probably will make Major within the next year or two if not sooner. Carter now has her own ship to command and won't be able to be on a team very often anymore. Lt. Hailey will be a solid replacement for you," suggested Gen. Landry.
"Lt. Hailey, well she can be as stubborn as Col. Carter from what I have heard. Sir, we'll give her a try, but she won't be a Col. Carter. Am I also losing Daniel Jackson and Teal'c?" asked Col. Mitchell.
"I'm off SG-1?" Daniel asked.
"No Daniel your not off SG-1. You're just being set up to keep you busy and out of trouble. Plus if I was to remove you I would never hear the end of it from Vala. I don't need her in my office every day complaining because you are not on her team." replied Gen. Landry.
"Teal'c is going to be helping to train the new recruits, he is still available for missions, same for Ronon. I'm going to make a few additional changes there, so we can have some recruits still in a week," interjected O'Neill.
At this time the doors open on the conference room and Freya with Col. Sheppard enter.
"Sorry we're late, we just complete the last village assigned to us. The other teams should be complete by end of the day, we'll have 100 villages plus the main city complete, with enough room for over 400,000 refugees. Did we miss anything?" asked Col. Sheppard as he and Freya took a seat.
"Just Vala being assigned to your team." giggled Col. Mitchell.
"That means I get Daniel Jackson right? They are a pair!" stated Sheppard. Daniel could be heard sighing across the room.
"Check-in with Gen. Landry, he'll fill you in. Dismissed!" O'Neill excitedly ending the meeting.
Everyone else was leaving the meeting. Freya stayed behind.
"Gen. O'Neill may I have a minute of your time?" asked Freya.
"Certainly, how can I help you?" asked Gen. O'Neill.
"What is the exact role that Anise and myself are to have here?" she asked.
"First you are the liaison to the Tok'ra for Earth. Secondly, we would like to put your knowledge to use, in helping with translations and research as needed. The Tok'ra have a lot they can gain from learning Ancient technology as well.", answered O'Neill.
"Anise and I will be excited to be able to study the technology of the Ancients," replied Freya.
"Anything else then?" asked O'Neill.
"Am I to understand that you and Col. Carter are now joined?" Freya asked.
"Yes, Carter and I are now married," O'Neill responded.
"Congratulations! May I ask if it is a custom on your world to marry with more than one?" asked Freya.
Jack feeling very uneasy responded, "Yes I'm sorry but I'm with Carter now and we don't take more than one partner."
"I understand, my world it was not uncommon to have 3 or 4 partners as you call it." Freya replied, "Now please excuse me as I examine this lab setup for me."
