The Taking over the Universe plott

[Shanthaia]

*Ragnos*

San RiG Fen and Shan follow Bray down to the lobby, where they get intercepted by a rather nervous looking soldier.

Soldier asks a bit uneasy: Cleric Bray?

Bray: Yes, what is it?

Soldier: I was told to escort the…wraith? back to the stargate.

The soldier looks questioningly at Shan. Shan stares back directly into his eyes, which upon the soldier tries to avoid his piercing look. Shan looks at Bray half amused, half questioningly. Bray nods encouragement and Shan leaves his friends to follow the soldier outside. As he turns around he can hear Bray mutter: “Of all the people to send…” the other half of the sentence is drowned out by the growing distance and the voices of other people in the lobby.
Outside it is baking hot as it approaches noon time. Shan shortly spots Bray and the others with a not unattractive human female through a window. He is rather outside in the burning sun than in there as they all look uncomfortable.
The soldier brings him to another vehicle and Shan climbs in while the soldier gets behind the steering wheel. IT is even hotter in here and Shan can’t help it but to yearn for the elegant and cool inside of a dart as he sits in this hot and crude human transport machine.

The soldier seems nervous and glances at Shan awkwardly from time to time. He decides not to try and make conversation with this human and starts to calculate the decimal places of the circle number to not die completely of boredom.

After hours they arrive at the stargate site again and Shan is escorted to a make shift station where a lot of people are brooding over papers, not caring for the elevated temperatures. Shan gets introduced to the head scientist Araknor, who shows him to a table, where a summery of the already done research is ready for Shan. He sits down and once and starts flicking through the pages. The head scientist and the soldier walk away to leave him to it. Shan through his keen wraith ears hears the soldier telling the scientist: “Have fun, that is the most strange and arrogant being I ever met”

Shan shakes his head and returns to the papers. The equations are faulty at best – this is going to be a loooooooooong day. He sighs and takes a pencil to start correcting the mess the humans have made.

*A short while later JPJ wakes up, she quickly looks round the room and finds it empty, quitely getting out of bed she picks up Cara from her crib and leaves the infirmary. Looking over her shoulder at every turn she makes her way to her quarters, just as she nears the door a voice calls from behind*

Lizzie: hey doc, see they let the 2 of you out *JPJ turns to face her looking scared, dazed and confused* hey are you okay *lizzie hops forwards, but from JPJ view it looks like Lizzie to armed with guns and holding a length of rope in her hands instead of her crutches*

JPJ: leave me alone, you can't have her!

lizzie: who Cara? *looking equally as confused*

JPJ: my child, your holyness a$$ can't have her! *with that JPJ opens the door to her quarters and hurries in sealing the door behind her*

lizzie: *open comms* to all docs, Lt Col Lorne and Gen Mel please come to JPJ quarters immediately *close comms, a few mins later C Carson, C Lorne, Mel and Lorne arrive*

Mel: lizzie?

lizzie: sorry ma'am i spotted JPJ heading to her quarters so stopped to see baby and see how she was, but she went crazy

C Lorne: crazy? *his voice wavering*

Lizzie: she said your hoylness can't have Cara and stay away from me *C Lorne tries to enter his quarters but the door fails to open*

C Lorne: * calling through the door* sweetie, are you in there? if so please open the door

Mel: she may want to be left alone

C Lorne: my a$$ she does

Mel: we don't know what happened to her on the planet, or what his holyness did to her

C Lorne: *again through the door* JPJ is cara okay?

JPJ: none of your business your hoylness! If i let you in, you are only going to kill me!

C Lorne: babe, it's Evan, I only want to check you are okay *he rests his head on the door*

Lorne: that son of a

Mel: that isn't going to help

Lorne: no way, ma'am am I going to let this worm get away with hurting my clone's partner! *through gritted teeth*

Lizzie: what's up with you?

Lorne: you, every single of one you are my family and no one screws with my family! *everyone smiles at his gesture* JPJ please come out *C Carson pushes his way forward

C Carson: JPJ, it's carson, will you let me in?

JPJ: they captured you too? *everyone looks at each other*

C Carson: yes they did, i came with the team to resuce gen san, but I got captured, we can hide togther

C Lorne: *whispers* what are you doing?

C Carson, getting her on side, if some one can get in there then they can get her out. Now we know that cara and JPJ are slightly teleopathical linked and I think that being in close proximaty to the planet is messing with her head, so the sooner gen san gets back and we leave the better. secondly we all need a debreif and some down time

mel: i agree, go try and get in there, can she be restrained in the infirmary?

C Carson: i think that will make things worse right now *again through the door* JPJ will you let me in please? *scrabling noises are heard and the door opens and C Carson is quickly pulled inside with the door closing right behind him*

JPJ: Carson, good to see a friendly face *she hugs him* everyone is after cara and his holya$$ wants me dead

C Carson: it's okay lass, we'll be home soon enough *he moves her to the bed* how is little one

JPJ: sleeping, doens't seem affected

C Carson: good, get some sleep, I'll hold her for you *after thinking JPJ hands cara to C Carson and curls up on the bed, he covers her with a light blanket*

[Bray]

*Ragnos*

[Bray, San, RiG, Fen and Tamora are standing outside the CMOD. San and RiG are telling Tamora all about Bray's exploits in the past]

San "....And then he managed to fall arse over t1t and ended up with hot coffee all over him"

[They all burst out laughing]

Bray grinning "F**king hilarious" [turns away and gets on the radio] "Corporal Tomlinsson get that raggidy ass APC of yours to CMOD asap"

Radio "Roger that Cleric"

[Bray turns to the rest] "Just phoned a taxi, we will head back to our place"

[RiG turns to Tamora]

RiG laughing as she says it "And this other time...."

[Bray sighs] "You came all this way to make fun of me?"

Fen "No....of course not....but seeing as we're here..."

San laughing "wait wait, tell her about the time Bray came running to the bridge just in his boxers"

[Laughter erupts as Bray puts his head in his hands letting out a sigh]

[RodneyIsGodney]

Just as C Carson was about to move away from the bed he felt a familiar tingling sensation in his nose. His eyes widened in realization moments before he whipped his head away from Cara and let loose an almighty sneeze. Cara, startled, began to cry.

Oh, bloody hell! He sniffed and grabbed his handkerchief from his pocket with one hand, the other holding Cara, and blew his nose. That done he stuffed the used hanky back in his pocket and began to try to shush Cara. He didn't want her to wake up her mother, he was surprised his sneeze hadn't done that already.

"Shh, Shhh." C Carson deftly manouvered Cara up to his chest, her head resting on his shoulder. "Och, no need to cry wee one." He rubbed her back in soothing circles.

After a few minutes of this he spotted the rocking chair next to the crib and got an idea. After making his way over to the rocker he sank sown warily into it, readjusting Cara to a more comfortable position in his arms. Once he was cradling her he began to hum. The humming turned into quiet singing a few minutes later.

"Dreams to sell, fine dreams to sell,
Angus is here wi' dreams to sell o
Hush my wee bairnie an' sleep wi' oot fear
Dream Angus has brought you a dream my dear"

Cara, no longer crying, looked up at him with watery eyes as he continued crooning to her.

"Can ye hush yer weepin'
A' the wee bairns are sleepin'
Birdies are nestling, an' nestling' the gither
But my bonnie bairn is waken yet."

C Carson looked down at Cara and smiled as her eye lids fluttered. Her little mouth puckered once as she dozed. He continued in almost a whisper.

"Dreams to sell, fine dreams to sell,
Angus is here wi' dreams to sell o
Hush my wee bairnie an sleep wi' oot fear
Dream Angus has brought you a dream my dear
Hear the curlew cryin' o
An the echoes dyin' o
Even the birdies are cuddled up sleepin'
But my bonnie wee bairn is weepin' greetin'"

He quietly stood up from the rocker and gently placed Cara in her crib. She let out a little contented sigh as he tucked her blanket loosely around her. With a smile he sang once more, his voice dying away by the last note.

"Dreams to sell, fine dreams to sell,
Angus is here wi' dreams to sell o
Hush my wee bairnie an' sleep wi' oot fear
Dream Angus has brought you a dream my dear."

[Guest]

[Back on Ragnos]


*The group are still shaming Bray with embarrassing stories when RiG remembers Shan*

RiG: "Guys I'm going to the Stargate to see how Shan is getting on... hopefully it wont be too long before we can 'gate back to Atlantis."

San: "She's been at it a couple of hours now but I wouldn't expect miracles RiG."

RiG: "I don't, just want to be getting home is all."

*Bray signals one of the guards over*

Bray: "Escort RiG to the 'gate and back to my place when she is done checking up on Shan's progress."

Guard: "Sir."

*The guard and RiG head towards his patrol vehicle, get in and head off towards the Stargate.. The taxi arrives, Tamora gets in followed by San, Fen, then Bray*

Bray: "You'll love our place."

San: "Got a swimming pool?"

Bray: "You bet."

Fen: "Nice."

*The taxi drives off*

***

*The patrol vehicle arrives at the 'gate and RiG gets out*

Guard: "I'll wait right here."

RiG: "Sure."

*RiG heads over to the make shift station to find Shan going over several pages correcting calculations*

RiG: "How's it coming?"

Shan: "Oh hi, at this rate I should have these done in maybe a day or so."

RiG: "A day or more?"

Shan: "Could be sooner, I've got the first lot done, but I'm going to have to check them over again when I've done these."

RiG: "I suppose there's nothing I could do to help?"

Shan: "Not unless you're any good with calculations such as these?"

*Shan hands RiG one of the papers she is working on*

RiG: "You've got to be kidding me? there is no way I would know where to begin with these... and I wouldn't want to mess the calculations up."

Shan: "I doubt you could mess them up any further than they already have been."

*She hissed as she took back the paper from RiG*

RiG: "How will going over the calculations shut off the time dilation field generator? couldn't we just pull the plug?"

Shan: "We could, but it's not as simple as that... Or is it?"

*Shan uncovers a large folded piece of paper and opens it, she looks over the crude diagrams of the generator for a few minutes weighing up what everything is that she can make out*

Shan: "It's no good, I'm going to have to take a look at the generator itself."

RiG: "How far is it from here?"

*The Soldier in charge of the operation over hears the conversation and walks over to RiG and Shan*

Commanding Soldier: "It's right next to the Stargate but beneath ground, there is a cave that leads to this device about a 5 minute walk from here... I can take you there if you'd like?"

Shan: "Yes we would like that, can we go now?"

CS: "No time like the present."

*He heads over to the door followed by RiG, Shan collects some papers including the diagram and a pencil, the Soldier opens the door and RiG steps outside, Shan finished collecting what she needed hurries through the door*

Shan: "Which way?"

*The Soldier shuts the door and points past the Stargate*

CS: "That way."

*After walking past the Stargate and down the hill for a few minutes they come to a small cave, the Soldier hands RiG a torch and asks her to remain at the back, he then turns on his own torch and heads into the cave, Shan follows holding the pile of papers and pencil... not too far into to the tunnel the group notice a faint green light*

RiG: "Is that coming from the generator?"

CS: "Yes, it gives off a green light and we have detected strange energy readings from it... some of the equipment we used to analyze the generator is still down here so you can check out the readings for yourselves."

Shan: "Good."

*Entering the chamber where the generator is situated, Shan immediately heads over to one of the pieces of equipment and activates it... RiG walks around the generator noticing how alien the tech looks, she stops to appreciate the luminescent green glow given off by the reactor coils near the top... The soldier joins Shan in inspecting the readout from the equipment*

CS: "As you can see it is giving off a form of energy that we have been unable to determine."

Shan: "I have not seen energy like this before."

*RiG takes a step closer to the reactor noticing a small variation in the light, getting brighter for a split second then back to normal*

CS: "Our scientists have spent many hours trying to understand this piece of technology, it's function, the energy it's giving off... some have warned that to try and turn it off would have disastrous consequences."

Shan: "I do not doubt that, if this thing should explode it would devastate your entire world possibly wiping out all life."

CS: "That is why the project has been abandoned."

RiG: "You know, this thing reminds me of a lava lamp I had years ago back on Earth."

*RiG takes another step forward, trips on the uneven ground and goes flying towards the generator landing on a series of controls... The device makes a low humming sound then the green light fades and goes out completely*

Shan: "RiG are you alright!?"

*Both the Soldier and Shan rush over to where RiG landed*

RiG: "Yeah, I'm fine just a little shaken, that lava lamp I mentioned... well I broke that as well."

CS: "Is it really deactivated?"

*He goes back and checks the equipment*

CS: "There is no energy being given off, whatever RiG did, the device is off."

Shan: "Looks like you've saved me from a day or more of work."

*Shan helps RiG up*

RiG: "Glad to be of service, lets go back and tell everyone the good news, we can dial out again!"

[John's PuddleJumper]

*At the end of the song, JPJ stirs*

C Carson *in a whisper*: lass?

JPJ: Carson? *slightly confused and startled* is Cara okay?

C Carson: the wee one is fine lass, how are you?

JPJ: not the best, are we still around his Holya$$'s planet?

C Carson: you said earlier you thought he had you as a hostage, what's changed? *JPJ looks genuinely confused*

JPJ: I don't know, but these are mine and Evan's quarters in Atlantis

C Carson: aye they are, but a few hours ago you thought you where hiding in a room away from his holyness and that lizzieanne was trying to kill you

JPJ: oops, did i hurt anyone?

C Carson: no lass, just scared everyone a wee bit *he opens the door, surprised to find everyone still outside

mel: Doc, is she okay?

C Carson: find general, not sure what happened earlier but JPJ recongises that she is in Altantis and safe *JPJ appears behind him embrassed*

JPJ: sorry everyone *Dr Lorne pushes forward*

C Lorne: don't worry *he hugs her* i love you

JPJ: i love you too

Mel: i think downtime is what everyone needs

C Carson: JPJ, Dr Lorne, take some time off now, I've got the infirmary covered

C Lorne: are you sure?

C Carson: yes, I think being here will be better, not bring the memories from his holyness to the surface

JPJ: thanks Carson *he nods and pushes everyone away*

[LizzieAnne]

Everyone stands at the Gate on Ragnos waiting for Shan to put the finishing touches to the DHD.

San: Shan are you ready?

Shan: Yes.

Bray: Give me a few minutes.

Bray turns to a tearful Tamora who is waiting close by.

Bray: You can come with me you know. I want you to come.

Tamora : My life is here. I can’t. Stay here with me. You have a new life here now.

Bray: I have unfinished business on Atlantis. I need to go. This lot needs me.

Bray gives Tamora one last lingering kiss and hug as the Gate kawooshes into life. He turns to salute General Warhust.

Warhurst: Good luck Bray. They’ll always be a position for you here if you wish to return.

Bray steps through the event horizen with San, RIG, Shan and Fen following him.

When they arrive in Atlantis RIG smiles and says: There’s no place like…....Atlantis.

[John's PuddleJumper]

*In the briefing room Mel, San, Shan, Bray, RiG, Rodney, C Carson, C Lorne, JPJ, Lorne, Cadman, Sands, Vega, Fen, LizzieAnne and Cara*

Mel: okay just a quick debrief so we can get some down time folks * everyone nods* I know that the last mission was tough, for some more than others *looks at JPJ and Bray* but we are all home safe and sound, plus one

San: well done everyone for keeping it together, you have my congrats on that, it was tough and touch and go in places *JPJ coughs* Doc?

JPJ: sorry, I have an announcement

Rodney: you’re not pregnant again are you?

JPJ: no Rodney *she composses herself* I would like to go part time as a doctor please

Bray: what give up being CMO and your power? *sarcastically*

JPJ: no, I’d still be CMO, do all the paperwork man hours and the rest but just be a part time doctor. I have new prioties at the moment *she looks to C Lorne holding their child* I have Cara to think of and to put first

Mel: I had a feeling something like would happen, I accept your request, we will still need you in busy times or if I take Dr Beckett off world

JPJ: of course

San: now how long until Lorne and Lizzie come back to active duty?

JPJ: Lizzie a good 4 weeks *Lizzie pulls a face* no arguing that leg needs time to mend. As for Lorne I can let him go back in a week

Bray: a week, he got shot in the stomach, badly as I remember, how did that heal so fast?

C Lorne: huh, Cara

Fen: Cara?

lizzie: Cara?

C Lorne: yes Cara, I think this is the first signs of her gene strength

Shan: that has to be one of the better abilities surely?

lizzie: Cara the wonder child!


C Carson: aye, it is, and who knows what her full abilities may be. It also proves that gene therapy recipients can pass on the gene

Mel: all good to know docs, so we can have Lorne back in a week, good work. We can look into the full extent of Cara’s abilities later on as they arise, but for know I agree that this is one ability we can definitely use

San: if there is nothing else then I think we all deserve some R&R.

[melfan]

*Later in the GateRoom after briefing*

*Melfan enters*

Gatetech: Ma'am

Melfan: Hi. Anything gone wonky while been away?

Tech: No. Everything been fine. Nothing has happened. A bit boring actually!

Bray: Boring? Pegasus?

*Suddenly the gates actives*

Melfan: What the...

*The shield starts to flicker and suddenly a figure is thrown through the active gate*

Bray: There's something you don't see every day!

Melfan: *over com* Medical personel to the Gateroom! I repeat. Medical personel to the gate room*

C-Carson: What seem to be the trouble?

Melfan: Someone just came through the gate, she's unconsious!

C-Carson: I'm on may way. C-Carson out!

Melfan: So much for the boring.

Bray: She is wearing a SGC uniform. Do you know her?

Melfan: *Turns her over* I do! This is Third High Commander Taoth Vaclarush!

Bray: On a second note. We didn't lower the shield did we?

Melfan: No, I never ordered it.

Bray: It flickered. And then she came through. Something tells me that was not suppouse to happen.

Melfan: No it isn't...

*Bray and Melfan look at each other*

[melfan]

*Gate room*
Tech: I'm sorry Ma'am, I can't get a connection with Earth!

Melfan: You sure?

Tech: Was she suppouse to come here?

Melfan: No, she wasn't. Last time I heard Earth had uncovered a new enemy and was fighting those. It makes no sence sending someone here. Rodney?

*Rodnet looks up from the tablet he's working*

Roney: No I don't know why the connection can't be made, but I'm gonna find out. *He goes back to his tablet and ordering underling around*

Melfan: Right.

C-Carson: *Over com* General, she is starting to wake up

Melfan: Okey, Melfan out

*She heads to the infirmary*

*Infirmary*

Bray: Is she okey?

C-Carson: She came flying out of the Gate when the shield was suppouse to be up!

Bray: When you put it that way...

*Melfan enters*

Melfan: So, how's our patient doing?

Taouth: Uhhh

C-Carson: Thatäs allriight, open your eyes.

Taoth: *opening her eyes* Where am I?

Melfan: Atlantis. Welcome.

Taoth: But.. How?

Melfan: That is what we are wondering as well. Where were you going?

Taoth: I where going the Alpha site. Me and my team.

Melfan: You where going last or something?

Taoth: I was talking to General Landry about somthing and then went through.

Melfan: Something happened before you went through

Taoth: I heard sparks, but I was already on the way...

Melfan: So whatever happened in your end affected the Gate in our end. Terrerfic.

Taoth: Can you send me back?

Melfan: Not through the gate, can't get a connection. Herkules is down and Orion is the only ship we have acces to at the moment. We can't be without if something where to happen. I'm sorry, but you are stuck here on Atlantis.

[John's PuddleJumper]

*over the intercom twinkle twinkle little star is being sung by a woman*

Mel: now what!? *on radio* mckay what's going on?

Rodney: i have no idea gen, systems in the control are going up and down, it's not making any sense!

mel: just figure it out mckay or i chase you with a huge lemon! *close comms as C Lorne walks in* C Lorne

C Lorne: ma'am, why is JPJ singing a lulaby over the intercom?

Mel: thanks JPJ? *he nods*

C Lorne: she is properly singing to Cara to get her to sleep *the lulaby is getting softer until it stops, Mel is thinking*

Mel: may be some of this is linked to Cara, the ancient system problems?

C Lorne: may be, anything is possible, this is Pegasus!

C Carson: aye it is that* To TV* how do you feel lass?

TV: head hurts badly, who's Cara?

Mel: JPJ and C Lorne's daughter, when you are well i will explain everything *TV lays down* We need to figure out what is happening and sort it fast *mel leaves*

C Lorne: *open comms* JPJ babe?

JPJ: yes i'm here *whispering* what's up?

C Lorne: did you activate the comms?

JPJ: just now? no why?

C Lorne: well everyone could hear you singing to Cara

JPJ: what? But i didn't active the comms

C Lorne: may be it was Cara?

JPJ: anythings possible, we are in another galaxy, she was aged in a few hours!

C Lorne: that's what I said to the general, Rodney isn;t happy

JPJ: stuff him, well we will just have to see what happens, see you later

C Lorne: bye babe *close comms*

[LizzieAnne]

Lizzie: Rodney. Are you there?

Rodney: What is it. I'm busy.

Lizzie: You're always busy

Rodney: Well this time it's important busy. The gate needs fixing.

Lizzie: Well you know you said I should wait for you to go to the lower levels to have a poke around.

Rodney: You're not!

Lizzie: Weeell. Yes.

Rodney: I hope you haven't touched anything

Lizzie: Er well No...... Maybe.......yes. With this broken leg, I'm still off duty and I'm bored.

Rodney: For Gods sake. doesn't anyone ever listens to me around here.

Lizzie: No.

Rodney: OK then tell me the worst.

Lizzie: I'm in a lab. Like nothing I've seen before.

Rodney: Go on.

Lizzie: I needed lights. as you know they don't come on for me when I walk in. So I may have just pressed something I shouldn't have and I'm locked in.

Rodney: *sighs* Save me from the stupid military.

Lizzie: and the worst thing is - there seems to be something alive in here with me

Rodney: What! What do you mean alive!

Lizzie: I don't know. It's making a buzzing sound. and it getting worse. Help!

[Taoth Vaclarush]

(I wrote a little piece to fit in here, hope it's okay )

*Taoth waking up, she sees C Carson going over some scans. Sitting up carefully on the edge of the bed, she suddenly feels very dizzy, and the headache comes back. C Carson realises she’s up*

C Carson: *comes over* How are you feeling now?

Taoth: a little dizzy, bit of a headache *jumps off the bed* ow *leans backwards* and a bit sore all over, but i’ll manage.

C Carson: *brings over a pill and a glass of water* here, this should help

Taoth: thanks *takes them* I need to see the general

C Carson: I don’t think you should be going anywhere just yet

Taoth: I’m stuck here, I wanna find out why *she walks to the corridor* which way *looks back at C Carson with a puppy dog expression. C Carson sighs*

*Melfan is in her office, there is a knock at her door. Taoth leans against the frame, looking a bit beaten up, C Carson is behind her*

Melfan: I thought you where still supposed to be in bed

C Carson: she was

Taoth: I came to give my report, I want to know what happened at least as much as you do.

Melfan: I did say we’d have this talk when you’re well *raises eyebrow* but take a seat. Thankyou Carson, I can take it from here

*C Carson nods and leaves, Taoth sits in the chair*

Melfan: well what exactly happened on your end

Taoth: I was talking to general Landry, my team had already gone through. I went to go through after them, the moment I did, I think I heard the technician shout that there was an unknown error. Then there was a hard impact and I wake up in your infermary.

Melfan: you do know the sheild wasn’t lowered when you came through

Taoth: how is that possible?

Melfan: that’s what we’re trying to figure out, but it might explain the impact you felt.

Rodney on com: General Melfan, Lizzie’s got herself into trouble. I think you should come see this.

*Melfan leaves the room without hesitation, Taoth follows*

[melfan]

*Melfan gives Taoth a look*

Melfan: I have to take care of this, you look like you gonna pass out any moment.

Taoth: I'm allright...

*Melfan tells a guard to follow Taoth back to the infirmary, she then heads off to look for Lizzie*

Melfan: *over com* exactly what sort of problem is Lizzie in?

Rodney: She's trappedin a room, with something.

Melfan: Something?

Rodney: That was she said, something alive that buzzes.

Melfan: She is in a room with bees?

Rodney: I don't know! Just get your butt down here!

Melfan: Rodney... Melfan out*

*Melfan takes the transporter and arrive at the location*

Melfan: Now what?

Rodney: This is wierd, it won't open.

Melfan: Have you tried override it?

Rodney: Off course!

Melfan: Stand back.

*Melfan puts her hand on the consol and think open, a moment later the door slides open*

Melfan: Lizzie? You in here? What is the damn light?

*In that moment the light comes on and the room is flooded with light*

Melfan: Oh my God!

[LizzieAnne]

Melfan and Rodney duck as thousands of tiny bugs fly over their heads, escaping into the corridor.

Rodney: Aaaaagh .

Melfan : Oh Crap. We just let them out.

Rodney: Just what was that. What are they? And where's Lizzie. LIZZIE!

Banging can be heard coming from a cupboard.

Lizzie: I'm in here.

Melfan opens the door and out she falls at the General's feet.

Lizzie: Thanks Ma'am. I hate bugs. Got stung on the face as a kid and turned into elephant man.

Rodney: OK Just tell me what those....those....things were.

Lizzie: How should I know. You're the scientist.

Rodney: Oh that's right put it all on my shoulders.

Melfan: OK that's enough! We need to figure out if these bugs are dangerous. The last thing we need is for anyone to start turning into bug creatures.

Rodney: Oh God. Not like Sheppard. Oh please not like that.

Lizzie: Calm down Rodney. We know nothing of the sort.Just take a look at the controls and see if you can tell what in heavens name they were doing in here.

Rodney: Yes, yes I can do that.

Rodney accesses the data in the nearby control panel.

Rodney: Looks like you activated some kind of bug stasis chamber. The Ancients were doing some kind of experiments with bio engineering.

Melfan: And for what purpose?

Rodney: How should I know that. I'm not psychic.

Melfan gives him a black look.

Rodney: Sorry. I'll do some more checking.

Melfan : *Opens comms* : Everyone in Atlantis be aware we have intruders. Very tiny ones. A bug infestation.
