Landry sat in his office, watching the broadcast. He had hoped the world would accept the disclosure of the Stargate program better than it was appearing. It was now nearing the end of the second week since disclosure. Everyone had completed their interview assignments. Years of papers were being released to the scientific community, who were celebrating and in disbelief over many of the advances.
Currently, the news was showing rioting in Washington D.C., an estimated one hundred thousand were marching on the White House, calling for President Hayes to resign. Similiar riots were occurring across the U.S. National Guard units were being called up to help deal with the riots.
Then the scene switched to Djoho a small isolated area of Central African Republic, where the Asgard had landed to place the first Atlantis Outpost. It was no longer called the Atlantis Defense Base, that was deemed to be hostile. Atlantis Outpost would supply most of Africa with clean power. No rioters there, the outpost would be operational in less than eight hours.
"The Asgard constructing this outpost have stated it will be online within eight hours. Immediate manufacture of these Power distribution cubes will start. Towns across Africa will be given these cubes which can be easily attached to the existing power grid, providing clean and safe energy," reported Donovan, "It is expected that it will take two months for this facility to construct enough power distribution cubes to bring power to all the villages of Africa. Some of these villages will need to bring in their own infrastructure to distribute the power locally. Once this site is completed the next site, will be Nova Mutum in Brazil, with another 7 sites to follow."
Landry had been in contact with the United Nations to see if Atlantis could render any aid in the riots, but it was made clear for them to remain out of the riots. BP6-3Q1 was being discussed heavily in the United Nations, about the possible relocation of a large populace of the planet being relocated there. The I.O.A. had considered it, now it was being discussed openly before the United Nations. The only thing they all didn't realize, it would require approval from the Atlantis Command, and he wasn't sure if O'Neill would approve it.
Well, time to get some paperwork done this morning. First up on his list was to review the reports on the new recruit training.
Landry over the communicator, "Col. Davis report to my office."
Two minutes later in walked Davis, "Morning Sir."
"At ease, let's go over these reports," replied Landry.
"Teal'c and Ronon have commandeered about fifty buildings in total, that were designed for training. They have ten buildings that will provide an obstacle course, lecture halls for teaching, sparing rooms for hand to hand training, along with a medical facility for injuries. They have taken in five thousand two hundred ninety-three Jaffa, one hundred and sixty-two Tok'ra have arrived, and we have six hundred eleven military personnel from the U.S., Russia, China, and India that wish to transfer to Atlantis Command," replied Davis.
"Only six hundred eleven?" asked Landry.
"We believe a number of countries are preventing their military from requesting the transfer. Those that are allowing are limiting the number," replied Davis.
"I would have expected a larger number of civilians wanting to join," replied Landry.
"Oh we have a very large number of civilians, we just don't have a way to fully process them," replied Davis.
"Let's see what we can do about that," replied Landry.
"Recruiting offices?" asked Davis.
"No, those would be targets right now. I was thinking in a few weeks hopefully things have calmed down, we would have recruiting visits to various places around the world for people to come and join," replied Landry.
"Yes sir, will see about setting something up," replied Davis.
"Next thing on the list, the Asgard development of the Outposts," replied Landry.
"The site in Djoho is nearly complete, it is expected to be completed in little over five hours. They will then move on to South America, Nova Mutum in Brazil. It is an isolated spot and it will provide a central location to distribute from," replied Davis.
"What about personnel to run the outpost once they are done?" asked Landry.
"It is able to be remotely controlled from here. We will have a platoon that will be stationed at each outpost. Seventy-two hours on, and then forty hours off," replied Davis.
"Once we have all nine in place that is going to take twenty platoons to keep the bases covered," replied Landry.
"Yes it's a strain now, hopefully, we will have more troops coming on quickly from the new trainees," replied Davis.
"Anything else Col. Davis?" asked Landry.
"Dr. McKay would like to talk to you about the status of Altera," replied Davis.
"Tell him ten hundred, I'll meet with him," replied Landry.
"Yes sir," replied Davis.
Landry returned to catching a bit of the latest broadcast. It was showing a world map, where rioting was occurring. The U.S. was the reddest, while most major cities around the world were red, except for China. China was showing no rioting, or at least not reporting any rioting. Landry wondered if the Chinese military had cracked down so hard to prevent it, or if there was another reason. It seemed he wasn't the only one who had noticed. Donovan would be reporting from there later today. Landry made a note to catch that broadcast later today, then returned to reviewing the reports he had on his desk.
A knock came on his door, "Who is it?" called Landry.
"Freya of the Tok'ra," replied Freya.
"Come in," answered Landry.
"Thank you for seeing me Commander Landry," greeted Freya, "I need to discuss something with you, and I felt it was better to discuss with you instead of Commander O'Neill."
"Really? I would have thought you could discuss anything with him," answered Landry.
"Well, this is a touchy subject to Commander O'Neill. It is the subject of Tok'ra hosts," answered Freya.
"Tok'ra hosts, I can see why you would consider this a touchy subject," replied Landry.
"The Tok'ra are in need of new hosts, and with the success, we have between our peoples with Jacob Carter, we thought we would approach you first," spoke Freya.
"That is going to take some careful discussions," replied Landry, "Let me see what I can do."
With that Freya, left, and Landry sat there pondering that issue. Who should he discuss this with, and how to approach O'Neill. Just then another knock came on his door.
"Commander Landry it's Dr. McKay!" shouted McKay.
"Come on in," replied Landry.
"I wanted to see you about fixing up Altera. This job is going to take years. Commander O'Neill cannot possibly expect me to do nothing but replace conduits, and panels through all of Altera!" exclaimed McKay sitting down.
Landry checked his desk drawer he had his lemon in there, for those McKay emergencies, then he spoke, "Dr. McKay I don't really think Commander O'Neill expected you to replace every part yourself. He expected you to use your knowledge and resources and find what needed to be upgraded, and to utilize your many tools to find a way to expedite the repairs."
"Expedite the repairs, even with everyone in Atlantis working on it, it would still take several lifetimes," replied McKay.
"Really? I find that interesting since the Asgard used technology from here to build an entire city the size of Atlantis in under a minute," replied Landry.
"Nanites and a time dilation field? I can use those?" asked McKay.
"No, you have to use to two rocks. Of course, you can use those here in limited amounts, can't go crazy with them, like putting all of Altera into a time dilation field," replied Landry.
"I just thought that wouldn't be allowed," replied McKay.
"In limited scope yes you can," replied Landry.
"Well, that will accelerate things quickly. Now about these labs in Altera, there are thousands, how are we supposed to search them?" asked McKay.
"According to Janus everything was shut down, boxed up and taken on Atlantis. So there should be nothing to find," replied Landry, "I will be sending you laboratory requests from various scientist on and off-world who would like to relocate here. You will need to assign those offices out, feel free to request a security sweep of those labs before they make use."
"I'm going to need an assistant," replied McKay.
"I think we all are going to need an assistant. I will see what I can do," replied Landry.
"Really?!" asked McKay.
"Yes really. We've all have taken on so much it's crazy to deal with it all," replied Landry.
Then the alarm went off, and Harriman could be heard, "Un-Scheduled Off-World activation!"
Landry followed by McKay took of for the gateroom.
"What's going on?" asked Landry.
"SG-4 is sending their code, through now sir, with an alert of trouble," replied Harriman.
"Lower the shield, we have security in place!" replied Landry.
"Sending the clear signal now," replied Harriman.
Three members of SG-4 came through the gate, dragging a fourth, who was bleeding from the leg, shouting "Shield up!"
A reptilian head on a long neck poked out of the Stargate as the shield came up, severing the head.
"Beam them to the medical bay immediately!" ordered Landry.
"That looks like a dinosaur head," replied McKay.
"Get on of our scientists looking at that, I want to make sure there is not contamination we need to be concerned about from it," replied Landry.
"I'll find somebody," replied McKay.
Landry headed off to the medical bay.
"Major, what happened? Hostiles?" asked Landry.
"Sir, dinosaurs, big feathery and fast. Samuels was hit with a barbed tail. It got him pretty good," replied the Major.
"Commander Landry, Samuels will make a full recovery, thanks to our medical bays," replied Beckett.
"Excellent look forward to the report," shouted Landry as he left.
Landry settled back into his office. A report was being given on the demonstrations that were happening in London. The police were keeping things calm, but it was battle they were loosing, as more and more people were surrounding Buckingham Palace. Landry wondered if a good alien attack right now would calm many of these demonstrators down. That was not something he would wish to have happened. Time would calm most people down. Rioters were now looting stores in Munich.
Another knock on his door, "Who is it?" asked Landry.
"Your boss," replied O'Neill.
"Jack come on in here," greeted Landry.
"So how are things going?" asked O'Neill.
"It's a typical Monday," replied Landry.
"That bad, huh?" asked O'Neill.
"So what brings you by?" asked Landry.
"A couple of things, we now have an official address, Altera Antartica. That only took the U.N. two weeks of deliberations to come up with that bit of logic," replied O'Neill.
"Wow that was fast for them," joked Landry.
"Anything in addition to that we are responsible for understanding, and handling," replied O'Neill.
"Well we will work on that and see what we can come up," replied Landry.
"Second thing you have an assistant, Camila Wray. She was an I.O.A. lackey, she is going to be your assistant and liaison to the U.N. now. Keep an eye on her, I don't trust her," replied O'Neill.
"I have plenty of reports and things she can do," replied Landry.
"Last thing Chloe, has brought to my attention that we now have over twenty thousand scientists wanting to relocate here. Obviously, we have to get supplies worked out before we can take on too many people," replied O'Neill.
"I was just going over a report on agriculture. It seems that Altera had a substantial system for producing food, through something similar to hydroponics," replied Landry.
"What about beef? I like my steaks," asked O'Neill.
"Veggie steak, Jack," replied Landry.
"That's blasphemy!" replied O'Neill.
"Apparently part of the plants they used could be made into a meat substitute," spoke Landry.
"What help do you need Hank?" asked O'Neill, "We are bringing up a decent size country here to say the least."
"Healthcare, education, and agriculture are thankfully the main points we have to establish," replied Landry.
"I will see if we can bring in some administration experts in those areas to assist you," replied O'Neill.
"That would be wonderful. How are we going to recruit folks in these areas?" asked Landry.
"You haven't heard we have over two million resumes that have come in wanting to be here," replied O'Neill.
"Seriously? Two million?" asked Landry.
"Yes, this is the place to be right now. I see you are watching the broadcasts and all the riots that are occurring. Commander Caldwell has put together a plan, that will either calm everyone down, to escalate the situation. I've given the go-ahead," replied O'Neill.
"What are you going to do?" asked Landry.
"Just watch the broadcast later today around eighteen hundred. You won't miss it," smirked O'Neill.
"I thought the U.N. wanted us to stay out of it?" asked Landry.
"Since when do I answer to the U.N.?" asked O'Neill, "Avidan beam me back to my office." A white burst of light and O'Neill was gone.
"I've gotta learn to make use of that," spoke Landry, "Great I'm talking to myself."
Landry managed to settle in and review several reports and authorized the transfer of supplies from the U.S. to the base. Lunch was quickly approaching, he got up and made his way to the mess hall. On his way, an Asian women approached him.
"Commander Landry, I am Camila Wray. I am your new assistant," spoke Wray.
"I'm on my way to the mess hall, care to join me? We can discuss things over lunch," replied Landry.
"Certainly sir," replied Wray.
Settling down with their trays at a table in the corner, Landry noticed, "Blue Jell-o? Don't get to used to finding that here. Commander O'Neill grabs just about every bowl of that made."
"I knew he had good taste," replied Wray.
"So let's get started," Landry started.
"Commander O'Neill has already brought me up to speed on a couple of issues you are having. I have contacted Dr. Francine Michaels about taking over the healthcare administration here at Altera. She would see to the day to day running healthcare, while Dr. Beckett and Dr. Fraiser would oversee research and critical healthcare," spoke Wray.
"I know Dr. Michaels, excellent women. Excellent work on finding her" replied Landry.
Wray cutting Landry short, "Now for education and agriculture, former Russian Captain Daria Voronkova, would be willing to oversee establishing those areas here on Altera. She is a former assistant to Colonel Chekov. She is very pragmatic and I think will fit in well."
"I will need to meet with her before we can assign her that position," replied Landry.
"Of course, she will arrive tomorrow. I will set up a meeting," replied Wray.
"You will need to work with Col. Davis, he is in charge of Altera facilities in terms of use and location," replied Landry.
"I've already spoken to him. He is getting myself an office two levels below the Gateroom, next to Ms. Armstrong," replied Wray.
Alarms started going off.
"Now what?" asked Landry, "Avidan beam me to the Gateroom!" A white flash of light and Camila Wray was sitting alone.
Beaming into the Gateroom, Landry turned toward Walter, "What is the problem this time?"
"That was not us setting off the alarm," replied Harriman.
"Then who did?" asked Landry.
At that time Ginn, came running into the Gateroom, "We have someone accessing the Atlantis systems. They triggered the alarms by mistake."
"Avidan beam Dr. McKay here immediately," ordered Landry.
"Commander Landry, that order will be delayed sixty seconds, as Dr. McKay is not available for immediate transport," replied Avidan.
"Avidan, can you detect this hacker?" asked Landry.
"Searching...Searching...Searching...Presence detected," replied Avidan.
"Can you track his connection to his physical location?" asked Landry.
"Searching...Searching...Searching...Searching...Searching...Searching...Searching...Location determined," replied Avidan.
"Beam that hacker, here now Walter," ordered Landry.
"Beaming now," replied Harriman.
A scruffy looking, hooded young man appeared in front of Landry and was quickly surrounded by security.
"Young man what do you think you are doing?" asked Landry.
"I plead the fifth," replied Wallace.
"This isn't the United States, so before I ask you again, let me tell you I have an address I can send you through that Stargate there, where there are plenty of dinosaurs, ready for a meal. Now let's try this again, what do you think you are doing?" asked Landry.
"You wouldn't do that," replied Wallace.
"Walter, dial it up!" ordered Landry.
Walter punched in the gate address for P3R-112. Then sent a coded message for a security team to be ready to apprehend anyone coming through the gate.
"Sargent, toss this man through the gate, would you," ordered Landry.
"Yes Sir!" replied the Sargent.
"Wait! Wait!" replied Wallace, "Seriously is that really the Stargate?"
"Sargent!" replied Landry. The Sargent escorted Wallace to the gate and began to push him through.
"Ok! Ok! I was trying to find out if you have a treatment that would help my mom!" shouted Wallace.
"Stop Sargent, let's see if we have to feed the dinosaurs something else later," order Landry.
"Yes sir," replied the Sargent.
"Take him the conference room, and guard him. I'll be up there in a little while," replied Landry.
"That gate wasn't really going to a place with dinosaurs was it?" Wallace asked the Sargent.
"We had a team that was attacked, and one member was nearly killed this morning by what they described as dinosaurs," replied the sargent.
Dr. McKay beamed into the gate room then.
"What's going on?" aksed McKay.
"We had a hacker, I need you to see if he did any damage. Ginn here can fill you in," ordered Landry.
"What were you doing that took you so long before the beam over?" asked Ginn.
"Nothing, well uh, fill me in on the details on the way to my lab," replied a flustered McKay, as they left the gate room.
Landry let the young man sit alone in the conference room, while he finished his lunch and read over a couple more reports.
"So your Eli Wallace, a drop out from M.I.T.?" asked Landry.
"How do you know? I never gave you my name," replied Wallace.
"We just beamed you out of your room at your house on the other side the planet, to here, and you think I can't Google who lives at that address?" asked Landry.
"Well now that you put it that way, yes!" replied Wallace, "Look I really need to check on my mother, she is very ill."
Landry concerned, "What does she have?"
"H.I.V. she was a nurse got stuck by a contaminated needle," replied Wallace.
"What stage?" asked Landry.
"Nth stage, we couldn't afford the pills, the hospital wouldn't help her. When all of this was announced I was hoping you may have a cure," replied Wallace.
"So that's why you try to hack your way into our systems, to find a cure?" asked Landry.
"Yes, didn't take too long, once I was able to isolate your frequency over the satellite network," replied Wallace.
"Give me just a minute," replied Landry. He stepped out of the room, for a couple of minutes.
"So am I going to prison? or the dinosaur world?" asked Wallace.
"Neither, if my boss allows it. I want you to work here, our tech guy is going in too many directions. I need someone who understands these computer systems, and you fit the bill," replied Landry.
"Wait, your offering me a job?" asked Wallace.
"Yes," replied Landry.
"Is there anything you can do for my mother?" asked Wallace, "I can't abandon her, she needs me to take care of her."
"No, she doesn't. Dr. Beckett and Dr. Fraiser are working on her right now, they are the top doctors here," replied Landry.
"What? Is my mother here? How? Wait, Dr. Fraiser, didn't she die?" asked Wallace.
"Yes. Same way you are. Yes she did die, she's ascended," replied Landry.
"I'm confused," replied a stressed Wallace.
"You'll get used to it, that S.O.P. here," replied Landry, "We will have to hold you until we can fully confirm your story, and I confer with my boss."
"Ok," replied Wallace.
"Sargent take Mr. Wallace here to the brig. Let him get a solid idea of how bad a decision it was to hack Atlantis," ordered Landry.
"Come with me," ordered the Sargent.
"Wait, who figured out I was hacking you?" asked Wallace,
"I did, and I didn't even use a computer," smirked Landry.
Camila Wray was waiting outside the conference room, "Emmett Bregman is in your office waiting on you."
"Oh, I forgot about that. Need you to look into Eli Wallace, check him out thoroughly. I want to bring him on as a tech guy here. If he could so easily penetrate our computer, he knows his stuff," ordered Landry.
"Eli Wallace, I'll know everything on him in an hour," replied Wray, taking off to her office.
Landry headed to his office to meet with Bregman.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, we had an emergency," greeted Landry on entering his office.
"No problem, I understand, after my last experience this is nothing," replied Bregman.
"Well I would like to start off with, the documentary you did years ago, was a success. We would like for you do several more," replied Landry.
"Several more? I don't know the resistance I had last time, not sure that I can really put that together," replied Bregman.
"What if I told you, this was Commander O'Neill's idea," replied Landry.
"Commander O'Neill, suggested this?" asked Bregman.
"This is his idea, he delegated to me," replied Landry.
"That changes things, I assume I would full cooperation?" asked Bregman.
"Teal'c and Ronon, questionable. Rest of us yes," replied Landry.
"Off-world?" asked Bregman.
"Yes," replied Landry.
"I'll do it!" exclaimed Bregman, "What about Julia Donovan?"
"She is happy being our primary new reporter here," replied Landry.
"I have some great ideas," replied Bregman.
"Hold on, there are some areas we want you to do first," replied Landry.
"Here is where the other shoe drops," replied Bregman.
"We would like you to do a documentary on each of the races in the alliance. Tok'ra, Jaffa, Nox, Asgard, and the Ascended Ancients, that would include video of their home-worlds and interviews with them," replied Landry.
"I'm stunned, I never expected that," replied Bregman.
"Then we will discuss other documentaries we would like you to do," replied Landry.
"When can I get started?" asked Bregman.
"Col. Davis will help you get settled in. His office is across the hall," replied Landry.
"Thank you! Thank General O'Neill for me!" replied Bregman.
"That's Commander O'Neill now," replied Fraiser who materialized in front of Bregman.
"Uh, huh, aren't you supposed to be dead?" asked Bregman.
"Ascended, you'll get used to it. I wanted to thank you for you did the documentary, showing my death. My daughter was pleased with it," replied Fraiser.
"Your welcome, I've never had some thank me for how I portrayed their death before," replied Bregman.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it around here," replied Landry. Bregman stumbled out of the room.
"How can I help you Dr. Fraiser?" asked Landry.
Fraiser spoke, "Maryann Wallace, is doing better. We have been able to remove the H.I.V. from her system entirely. She is recovering, and should be back to normal in a few days after we get some food into her."
"Excellent news, I will let her son visit her later," replied Landry.
"Speaking of which I understand you're considering bringing him on here?" asked Fraiser.
"Anyone who can hack Atlantis is pretty good. He was only doing it to help his mother, and if that is the truth then yes I have offered him a position. We need everyone with brains to understand this stuff," replied Landry.
"I took a peek at him on my way here, he's telling the truth. He's also a lot smarter than he let on," replied Landry.
"Really?" asked Landry.
"He can give Dr. McKay and Col. Carter a run for their money," replied Fraiser.
"Now that is saying something, then let's hope we can get him to stay," replied Landry.
With that Fraiser disappeared again. The news was reporting that the riots were still going on, no real break in the action. Landry had to plan out the missions for the next week. The number of worlds to explore was exponential, thankfully with the repository of knowledge, it was easier to know which to explore. Every type of scientist wanting to get out in the field to study a plant, animal, or some other phenomenon. Five new worlds would be explored this week. Another four missions leading scientist out to do their field research.
Eighteen hundred hours was fast approaching, Landry leaned back and propped his feet up. About five minutes till they were showing the riots in Washington D.C. when a DN-1103 settled in over the city. Hovering at about five thousand feet. At one thousand two hundred meters in length at that altitude it was impressive. Rioters who had been chanting suddenly grew quiet, as two other DN-1103's flew past the stationary one. The display was spectacular. The crowds in D.C. hushed. Just as suddenly as it appeared, it vanished right there in thin air. The rioters began to disperse, as the immensity of things began to settle in.
A few minutes later, three DN-1103's flew over Buckingham Palace, at about five thousand feet, when one of the three, inverted and spun making a complete loop, and coming instantly to a dead stop. The effect was the same rioters suddenly quieted down, and began dispersing.
Over the next two hours, the three DN-1103's appeared over nearly every major city. Rioters were overwhelmed when confronted with the realization this was all real. Riots began to disperse. It seemed Donovan was always at the right place at the right time, O'Neill had to have arranged this well.
Finally, Donovan appeared in Beijing, the streets were already calm, no military presence had been seen on the streets. Donovan was showing a few interviews with people from the street earlier. Non were surprised with the Stargate, or that alien life was here on Earth.
"Every person I have spoken to here in China, say aliens have been known for centuries, the Alien Disks, describe them. As they have said what these disk describe sounds very much like the Asgard," reported Donovan, "We will have to see,"
Landry chuckled he had read a report on those disks. When Dr. Jackson had translated them, they were speaking of Lord Yu, the Goa'uld system lord. That would eventually come out, in the very large number of reports that were being released to the public.
A knock came on the door. His door had plenty of visitors, "Who is it?"
"It is Camila, I have brought you some dinner," replied Wray.
"Come in," replied Landry.
"Roast beef, potatoes no gravy, and buttered corn, I believe how you like it," replied Wray, handing a tray to Landry.
"You have done your homework," replied Landry.
"The kitchen staff pay attention, they hooked me up," replied Wray.
"Never give away your secrets," replied Landry.
"I also have the report on Eli Wallace," replied Wray.
"Did you not get something?" asked Landry.
"You eat, I'm meeting my girlfriend later tonight," replied Wray.
"Fill me in, on Eli," replied Landry.
"Short version his story checkouts, everything from his mother, to his hacking. His test results put his mathematical, and scientific reasoning skills off the charts. He has never been challenged. I think I would recommend bringing him on here," replied Wray.
"Excellent, I will talk to O'Neill in the morning," replied Landry.
"No need I already have, he is on board with it, but would like him to work with Jinn to keep an eye on him," replied Wray.
"How did you do that? I expected to have to argue with him for a while," replied Landry.
"Chloe's office is next door to me, and she is earning her money and keeping Command O'Neill happy," replied Wray, "Now if you will excuse me I have a date."
"Have a good evening Ms. Wray," waved Landry.
Landry continued watching the riots die down, and ate his dinner. After finishing his dinner, he made his way to the brig.
"At ease Sargent, I don't think I know your name." greeted Landry, upon seeing the Sargent guarding Eli.
"Sargent Greer at your command sir!" replied Greer.
"I said at ease, that's pretty much a standing order around here," replied Landry.
"Good work today with the prisoner, but I'm going to take him from here. Please go to Col. Davis and get some quarters set up for man," ordered Landry.
"Yes sir," replied Greer.
"Eli, come with me," ordered Landry, deactivating the shield on the cell.
"Where are we going? I need to see my mom," replied Wallace.
"We are going to go see her now," replied Landry.
"How is she? Whats her condition? Can they do anything for her?" asked Wallace.
"Do I look like a doctor? Me no, my daughter, on the other hand, yes," replied Landry. They walked quietly on to the medical bay. Wallace was clearly nervous.
"Eli!" shouted MaryAnn Wallace, on seeing her sone enter the medical bay.
"Mom, you look so much better. What did they do?" asked Eli Wallace.
"You will have to ask Loki, and Dr. Beckett to explain it all," replied MaryAnn Wallace. Eli noticed the Loki working on the instruments.
"Your a Nox?" asked Eli Wallace.
"Asgard," replied Loki, "I will let Dr. Beckett explain the procedure we did."
Dr. Beckett stepped forward, "Due to your mother's weakened state, we placed her in suspended animation. We then scanned her for all traces of the virus. We then used nanites to enter her body, locate the virus and remove each individual virus."
"Suspended animation? Nanites?" asked Eli Wallace.
"Yes, we then used a gene technique I developed to revitalize her genes, repairing any damaged DNA. Then we infused her with a synthetic blood to replenish her cells with missing nutrients," replied Beckett.
"So she no longer has H.I.V.?" asked Eli Wallace.
"No Eli, I don't," they are going to be training doctors all over the world on how to do this procedure and many others. You know they have cured so many of the diseases we have in this world," replied MaryAnne Wallace.
"That's amazing," replied Eli Wallace.
"Tomorrow we will talk about your future for both of you," replied Landry, "Sgt. Greer has returned he has quarters set up for you and will show you the way," replied Landry.
Landry returned to his private quarters, kicking his shoes off and grabbing a beer. This was his time to relax. He flipped on the news.
"This is Julia Donovan with Atlantis Access, we are here in Nova Mutum, waiting on the arrival of the Asgard construction ship. They should be landing any time now, to begin construction of the second Atlantis Outpost. Africa and South America were chosen first, as they have the least widespread development of a power grid. Many areas with no power at all. Each outpost once constructed will have a platoon of Atlantis soldiers standing guard. In fact, I see the Asgard ship descending now," The Asgard construction ship can be seen descending from the atmosphere.
Donovan continues, "What is going on over there at the landing site? Something is occurring I can not determine what? There are many men running around the landing site. I can not tell what they are doing. Oh no, is that a shoulder mounted rocket launcher. They are firing on the Asgard ship!"
Landry looked up he could see first one rocket, then several others flying up to meeting the Asgard ship. They were targetting the propulsion system. Landry could see the thruster shake and then break loose. A chain reaction explosion triggered up the craft before it was completely engulfed. Donovan could be seen scrambling to get away, and her cameraman. The ship crashed in the ground and was burning.
