Dr Beckett attends to "Talon" as we know her now as Lt. Rebecca Griggs, he stabilises her and turns to Jennifer hovering over a not so wounded Todd, he makes a fuss of shooing her away just as Ronan walks in and leads her to take care of other more seriously wounded, Carson turns to the now Captain O'Reilly and tells her to take care of these two, and he heads out to look for Evan Lorne, who he knows is fond of Griggs.

[Todd's Pet]

O'Reilly turns to Todd and says "So here we are again. We really should stop meeting like this."
"There is some other way we should meet?" Todd asks, taking his coat off. The little slip of paper she gave him flutters to the floor. They both bend to pick it up and their faces come so close she can feel his warm breath on her cheek. They look at each other as their hands touch over the piece of paper.
"I do not need it anyway," Todd tells her huskily, "I know the information on it by heart."

[Trillian52]

Todd smiles in a way that makes O'Reilly's heart beat faster, "So tell me, who is Casanova," he asks innocently, "and why would Sheppard think the name suits me?"

[Todd's Pet]

Todd admires the delicate rose flush that sweeps up from O'Reilly's freckled feeding spot as she explains the literary character Casinova.
"Hmm," Todd muses. "I can see where Sheppard is coming from, but it's not quite accurate," he observes. "In my case it is the human females who pursue me, whereas I..." He pauses and allows his hand to casually drift down the length of O'Reilly's lush, red hair. "I only have eyes for one particular female..."

Evan sits patiently beside Talon's bed, waiting for a response, any response; she weakly opens her eyes "Evan, you must tell them, I saw those Ori pilots faces, they were not alive, they looked like...like skin and bone, ghouls...they were ....dead." Talon then slipped away with her last breath.

[Trillian52]

Todd picked up on Talon's words and turned politely to O'Reilly "If you'll excuse me there is someone I must go to immediately although I fear it is already too late."

The young Captain watched as Todd rushed away, and solemnly walked over to Lorne and placed her hand on his shoulder, he shook with tears.

[Isolde]

Todd put all thoughts of the thick red hair of O'Reilly out of his head as this was certainly not the time or place, and concentrated on the words Talon had spoken as he went to seek out Sheppard. Ghouls, the woman had said... the meaning of the word was indistinct even though he filtered her thoughts carefully, suggesting some sort of preternatural being he found the possibility of laughable.

Were humans so superstitious?

He strode into the corridor, heading for the mental emanations of his 'brother'.

[puddlejumperOZ]

Todd came up the stairs to the gateroom and stopped in his tracks, Colonel Stephen Caldwell of the Daedalus was conducting solemn ceremony which both human and wraith were taking part, metal cases, held the final remains of both races and he immediatley understood the signifigance.....Caldwell reads

“They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them. Lest we forget”

“Lest we forget” They all responded.

A lone bugler from the crew, played the last post. At the end, with one voice everyone replied..

"We will remember them."

When all was done, Todd waited for the appropiate momemnt and took his friens aside. "Sheppparrrd, what do you know of necromancy on your world?"

[IV]

Sheppard blinked, startled for a moment at the word 'necromancy' coming out of the wraith's mouth. Not too much of a fantasy smoke n'mirrors kind of man himself. "It was considered a damn bad thing to do centuries ago, disturbing the dead from their rest. Anyone who was suspected of it was killed, no doubts. I don't think it even ex- Wait, why are you asking...?"

[benoz777]

"Something disturbing young Talon saw, I probed her mind before she passed, the Ori pilots were, how did she say...ghouls...not alive, and it puzzled me as well, a couple I came close to, and destroyed, exploded in a cloud of dust!"

[IV]

Sheppard appeared thoughtful for a moment. "You mean kind of like zombies? Reanimated corpses, I mean. The dust could be from how old they are.. I mean, it's possible. The Goa'uld have something called a .. what was it.. sarcophagus, that allows someone to be brought back from the dead. Maybe the Ori have something similar to get their dead walking again." Then he realised what he said, and what implications it might have *if* it were true. "...Crap."

[benoz777]

"Hmmm, I know this will sound strange to you, Shepppaard, but I know a human woman, she ah, how shall I say, keeps me informed of other Wraith, she can see things other's, Wraith or human cannot, we must visit her, I know the gate address, but none other do."

[Trillian52]

Sheppard looked thoughtfully at Todd wondering, not for the first time, how far he could trust the Wraith's judgement but this time the situation was just too bizarre so abandoning his usual caution he makes a snap decision, "Okay, why are we waiting around, let's just go."
