While the Ancient Database said the Lanteans had seeded life on about twelve hundred worlds in the Pegasus galaxy only about 578 still contained inhabitants. The evacuation teams were successfully getting 3-5 worlds evacuated a day, it was going to take about 20 weeks to complete the task. Most of the worlds only had a few hundred inhabitants, the hard part was getting these different groups to share a village. Most of the villages on Corlan had been set up to handle about five thousand inhabitants. That meant sometimes 5-10 planets would have to share a village. Freya of the Tok'ra came to the rescue with a number of Tok'ra teams that started building additional villages. Over the next 4 weeks, an additional 300 villages had been created around the planet.
Usually, five to ten PJ teams were active on any given day, getting a world prepped and ready to relocate. Maj. Marks was staying busy with the number of refugees coming through Midway Station, scanning them for any weapons or technology.
Col. Sheppard asked for a meeting with Gen. Landry and Freya of the Tok'ra.
"Sir, we will need to approach the Genii soon about the move. We are guaranteed to have trouble with them. In fact, if we were ever going to leave anyone behind in Pegasus it would be them in my book."
"Colonel I know you have had your issues with them, and have read your reports on how difficult they can be. We won't leave anyone behind," replied Landry.
"General I'm thinking we need to find another planet for the Genii to settle on, otherwise they are likely to cause trouble with the other villages. Freya, would the Tok'ra be willing to assist with the construction of a city to hold about twenty thousand on another planet?" asked Sheppard.
"If it is located near the gate, we should be able to accommodate your needs," replied Freya.
"What do you have in mind Colonel?" asked Landry.
"P4M-399 it was an alternative site SG-1 had found," replied Sheppard.
"I'll ask Col. Carter to check out the planet with the Hammond," replied Landry.
"One last thing sir, I'd recommend having the Hammond place a surveillance satellite over the city." replied Sheppard.
"You really don't trust them, do you Colonel?" replied Landry.
"No sir I do not." replied Sheppard.
"Very well Colonel. Dismissed." replied Landry.
Sheppard was walking back down to Operations, with Freya.
"So how are you enjoying your time on Atlantis so far?" asked John.
"It has been beneficial for the Tok'ra. O'Neill has granted me access to a number of Ancient technologies, that will benefit the Tok'ra." replied Freya, "May I ask you a personal question Col. Sheppard?"
"Sure go ahead." replied Sheppard.
"Why do some refer to you as Kirk?" asked Freya.
"There was a fictional show on television, the leader of the people was called Kirk. He was a great leader among his people, that's why they call me Kirk." replied Sheppard.
"I understand so it was not for his reputation of taking women from other planets. How unfortunate." replied Freya, as she walked off. Sheppard stood watching her walk away confused.
The Hammond verified that P4M-399 was suitable with no technology to worry about on the Genii, and they dropped a surveillance satellite off in orbit, an SAT-10-Eye. The first model of a surveillance satellite built by Homeworld Command, powered by a naquadah, with Asgard sensors monitoring subspace, and Earth's best surveillance camera. It was an eye on the sky, it would video the stargate, whenever it detected an active wormhole. Twice a day it would send out it's gathered information over sub-space. Freya had a few additional teams creating the city on P4M-399. It would be ready.
Sheppard was helping evacuate P2M-301, which was taking more time as the planet only has a space gate. He was thinking how nice it would be if they could make use of the wraiths transporter, to beam everyone into one ship and take them through. Four puddle jumpers were making trips between the two villages through the gate system. They would be able to have everyone evacuated by the end of the next day.
Sheppard, was loading up a group of refugees, when he spotted Goran.
"Hi Goran, how are you doing?" asked Sheppard.
"Col. Sheppard if I remember right?" ask Goran.
"Yes." replied Sheppard.
"I have little use for you." replied Goran.
"I understand, no father should have to bury their son. I wish we could have done more for Zaddik and Ellia both." replied Sheppard.
"My son should never have kept that wraith child." replied Goran, as he sat down in the jumper.
Sheppard remembered that day, having to kill Ellia, he had hoped to reason with her but the wraith retrovirus had completely failed.
Two days later, Sheppard had been told it was time to meet the Genii. Sheppard, Ronon, Teal'c, Lorne, and 10 marines had gated to P4J-392, they looked over the city ship as they could see teams swarming here and there on it, to be beamed up by the Daedalus.
"Welcome aboard Col. Sheppard." greeted Gen. Caldwell.
"Sir, it's good to be aboard. Think we're as ready as we can." replied Sheppard.
"Inform the Apollo we are launching for the Genii homeworld, they have security here." ordered Gen. Caldwell.
The Daedalus took off for the Genii Homeworld. Every security precaution was being taken. Sheppard and his team beamed down. Two marines had been designated as dead men switches, if they released a button on their communication systems, the Daedalus was under orders to beam everyone out immediately. They waited outside of their village, when they were spotted by the Genii.
A few minutes later a small group of 4 guards and Ladon Radim, approached.
"Col. Sheppard it is good to see you! I had heard you had abandoned us." replied Ladon.
Sheppard grinning, "No we haven't abandoned the people here. In fact, we have come to offer you a new life."
"A new life, what do you mean?" asked Ladon.
"We are evacuating everyone from Pegasus to a new galaxy, where my people are from, which is the same place the Lanteans are from." replied Sheppard.
"Evacuating? the Pegasus galaxy?" asked Ladon.
"Yes, well more like relocating you. We want to move you to a planet in our home galaxy to live at. You will be free from the Wraith, once we are done, there won't be any humans left here for the Wraith."
"How are my people to survive, food shelter, are you providing them?" asked Ladon.
Sheppard grinning, "We have some powerful friends. A city has been built and you will have an entire planet to yourself. Also, food will be available, and some of it is extremely tasty I might add. We will help you to begin to grow crops of your own, and setup trade with other planets. We have some powerful friends there. Also no nukes and no weapons."
"What's in it for you?" asked Ladon.
"An end to the feeding by the wraith." replied Sheppard, "We're not asking for anything from anyone from Pegasus, except peace."
"Peace? If what your saying is true then yes I think we can agree to that." said Ladon, " I need proof before I expose my people."
"Proof? I can arrange that, if your willing to take a trip with me, we can be there and back in about 4 hours." answered Sheppard.
"Give me a few minutes and I'll return and we can leave." replied Ladon.
Thirty minutes later Ladon arrived, Sheppard had a puddle jumper brought down. Ronon and Teal'c would be accompanying them to the P4M-399. Lorne and the marines were transported back to the Daedalus which returned to P4J-392. Sheppard dialed the bridge network and the puddle jumper entered the stargate. Ladon was amazed when they exited at Midway Station. Maj. Marks approved them on to Milky Way, where they exited on Corlan. Sheppard did a flyby a couple of the villages.
"Here is where most of the other planets are being evacuated too. The Genii are large enough in numbers we picked another world for you." informed Sheppard.
"These cities are impressive. How did you build them?" asked Ladon.
"That is a technology of our friends the Tok'ra, they really are good at it." explained Sheppard, he circled back around and dialed up P4M-399. When they exited, the stargate, Ladon could see the new city and was able to see a tower as it grew as the Tok'ra was still at work on the city.
"The Tok'ra will have the city ready in two days. As I understand it the buildings will be completed today, and tomorrow they are installing transport rings, allowing fast transport from parts of the city to the stargate. The city should be able to handle about twenty thousand people, we estimate you have what about eleven thousand?" asked Sheppard.
"Slightly less than eleven thousand." replied Ladon, "Sheppard my people will move here."
"I thought you would say that." answered Sheppard. They returned to the Genii homeworld. Ladon asked when his people needed to be ready and Sheppard explained one week, they would return and would begin sending them through the stargate.
A week later Sheppard returned, Ladon had prepared his people well. Two hundred people would move through the gate at a time, ever 10 minutes. They had a window of six hours, schedule to move the Genii to their home planet. To speed things up, the Milky Way side of the bridge and been diverted on to P4M-399 directly. Five hours later, they were on the last two groups, when a group of Wraith Darts appeared overhead. Sheppard raced to the puddle jumper, as others were racing to get everyone into the gate.
Sheppard had just took off, when Col. Ellis came over the radio, "Sheppard this is the Apollo cover the gate, F-302's are entering the atmosphere as we speak to deal with darts as we deal with these cruisers."
Sheppard held position over the gate preventing the darts from making runs at the people entering the gate. The last group had run back to the tree line. "Sheppard and all F-302's, three Wraith hive ships have now exited hyperspace, remain in the atmosphere." Over the next minute, Sheppard held over the people keeping any darts from approaching. Suddenly an explosion occurred high above the planet.
"Wraith Hives and cruisers neutralized, clean up the Darts and report back to the Apollo." from the Apollo.
"Excellent work Apollo, thank you for the coverage! Was that a Mark IX Hyperspace Missile?" asked Sheppard over the radio.
"Yes, an excellent idea you had on that weapon Colonel." replied Ellis on the Apollo.
Sheppard landed as the last of the darts were destroyed. They dialed up the bridge network and the last group of Genii entered.
Ladon asked, "That was your people up there? How many wraith ships?"
"Three hives, and several cruisers." replied Sheppard.
Ladon said "Impressive my friend." as he entered the stargate as the last Genii.
