Spoiler:
Chapter 9
Negotiations and compromises
The message had been sent and now there was nothing to do but wait as the lantians thought the offer over.
Gabriel had kindly offered her his room for some sleep but she couldn’t, things were interesting around here. However it wasn’t long before they received a reply from Atlantis. Sam was brought back to read it. “Well it seems they are inviting us down. They ask that the queen come and you too Gabriel.” Gabriel nodded standing silently. After his outburst confessing his feelings he was now giving her a stony silence. Only talking to her when necessary. Sam looked up at him “so how are we arriving?” Gabriel took his time to answer “ we will be taking a dart.” Having tried to initiate conversation and failed again Sam gave up. The lack of conversation was killing her. “Then lets go.”
It had been over an hour since dr wier had sent the message to the hive ship. Her brain begged her to go to sleep but she couldn’t. Sitting in her office she tried to look busy but ended up playing solitaire. Finally a technician arrived at the door and she looked up “dr wier we picked up a dart heading inbound. Where should they unload their cargo?” Elizabeth thought about it… where could they land? “The east pier.” She muttered. The technician jogged out of her office to deliver this information when Rodney knocked on the door. “Enter” she said looking up. “Oh Rodney I thought you were…” “ I was I just finished. It seems it is indeed the real Samantha carter.” Elizabeth raised her eyebrow “are you sure? I don’t want an imitation Rodney…” “ Absolutely, the voice matches her tones and pitch perfectly, also I’ve been reviewing the tape, she moves and gestures exactly like Sam and she knew dead on I would review the tape. They either recorded it earlier then killed her or more likely she’s still alive” Elizabeth brightened at this, she had been wary of putting her crew through another incident like the allied attacks. Suddenly another technician appeared. “Dr wier… they’ve landed. From what we can tell they have Samantha carter with them” Elizabeth jumped to her feet and smoothed out her uniform, it was time to do what she did best…negotiations.
Sam had barely touched down on the east pier when a group of soldiers greeted them. Gabriel lowered down and whispered in her ear “they have guns” “I know they have guns, its standard procedure. They wont shoot unless necessary.” Gabriel gave a slight nod and straightened up again as the leader approached Sam. “Samantha” he nodded. Sam nodded back and muttered “major Lorne” “so these are the guests?” “Yes major they are. Where is dr wier?” “ She will be joining us shortly, were here to escort you to the debriefing room” “lead on major.” The group strode off under the brightening sky towards the towering structure of Atlantis.
