John Sheppard turn the television on in the cafeteria, he put on CNN on and sat down. It was showing a row of American Naval ships and Cobra gunships blockading the Quarantine Zone from the prying eyes of the reporters and new choppers. Some of the conspiracy theorist suggested that the US government is hiding a secret prison to house terrorist and torturing prisoners for information. John just nod his head and turn around to see Ronan and Teyla.
“Chewie, Teyla.” He turns the television off and walk with them to the balcony.
“We wish to see the city sights.” Teyla ask her friend.
Sheppard knew what Teyla meant and he too wants to get off the city and visit his brother but the IOA has informed Woolsey that the review board should be arriving soon. “As much as I like to go on shore leave, Woolsey tells me that the IOA review board will be arriving soon.”
“Again, did we did that last year?” Ronan asks.
As they discuss the inadequacies of the IOA for the last five years, Technical Sergeant First Class Amelia Banks with a tray with salads, sandwiches and tea, she was on her way to her friends when Ronan spotted her.
“Amelia, come sit with me.” Ronan hollered.
“So, how are you to getting along.” Sheppard ask with a grin.
“We’re friends.” Ronan tries to deny it.
“Right.” Teyla grins.
Amelia places her tray besides Ronan and quickly sat down. She looks at him and gave a peck on the cheeks.
John and Teyla look at each other and giggles; they never saw the other side of Ronan before as Amelia and Ronan are locked in a romantic embrace.
“When’s the wedding?” John jokes around as he took a sip of water.
As soon as John place the glass back on the table, the city started to shake. Klaxons went off, as standard procedure; everyone leaves what they are doing and go back to their duty station. As For Lt. Colonel John Sheppard the 2IC of the Atlantis Base, Technical Sergeant First Class Amelia Banks the Operations Officer in the Control Tower, they got up from seat and ran to the nearest transporter. As for Ronan and Teyla, they just follow their team leader.
It wasn’t long to get to the Control Tower, with the transporter system; it took them instantaneously from the east pier to the Control Tower in seconds.
“I want a sit rep.” Colonel Sheppard orders Tech Sergeant Chuck Jones as he walk up from the Stargate Operations to the control center, he could see smoke rising up from the window.
“Sir, the Navy tries to stop a small speed boat trespassing through the quarantine zone.” Chuck shows the schematic of the City on the monitor. “It hit the east pier observation deck before the boat exploded.”
“Any casualties in the area you speak of?” Teyla ask.
“Yes ma’am, but I am sorry.” Chuck look down as he tries to tell her. “Kanan and your baby was the only casualty.”
Teyla anger started to rise as she tried to breathe it out. “Do you know who is responsible?” As she tries to grab Chuck by the collar but stopped by John gave her a loving embrace to hold her back.
“A group called PINK and United for Peace.” Chuck tries to reassure Teyla that he will find out more.
John guide Teyla to Woolsey office and sat her down as Ronan and Amelia tries to comfort her with the lost. Since Woolsey is in Washington trying to buy time from the IOA representative stepping into Atlantis, John sat down on Woolsey chair and ponders what to do.
The White House
Washington D.C
January 21, 2009
President Demetrius Holly had been rather busy of late dealing with the Democrats at the Capital, and their most recent suggestions of budget cuts. In his campaign promise to withdraw from Iraq is somewhat slow. He checked the defense budget and something caught his attention, a project that cost taxpayers billions of dollars and he doesn’t know what it all means. Although he has been in office for a week and the transition team from the Hayes administration has been rough, but the defense budget became his first priority. Then he was safe from further thought when the intercom rang and his secretary spoke.
“Mr. President.”
“Yes Abigail?”
“General Jack O’Neill is here to see you.”
“Let him in.”
General Jack O’Neill entered the oval office carrying a briefcase of classified files. Usually General Galloway; the Chief of staff of the Air Force briefs the President of the United States but he lost his bet when Atlantis showed up a couple of days ago.
“General O’Neill is it?” The President asks as he stands up. “How can I help you?”
“Sir, what I about to tell you are top secret.”
“How top secret?”
After disclosing the new President of the Stargate Program, Atlantis landing in San Francisco Bay and the enemies like the Wraith and a possible skirmish with Gao’ulds and Rogue Asgard; the President himself just laughs until the two beamed into the Tzun Tzu Bridge.
“Where am I” The President asks as he turns around and saw space through the view port.
The Chinese crewmembers and Colonel Xhosa stood to attention and saluted General Jack O’Neill, but disregard the first African American President Demetrius Holly since he is not their leader.
“At ease,” He ordered the crewmember in Mandarin. “We are on the Tzun Tzu orbiting Earth.”
“How did the Chinese get a spaceship?” He said under his breath.
“Sir” Jack asks.
“This is where the missing billions of dollars go.” The President said as he browses the bridge. “If you ask me, this not worth it and I will not renew the Gate Alliance Treaty.”
“Sir, we’ve been keeping the Earth safe for the last 14 years and now we have the capability to safeguard the whole galaxy from…” Jack interrupted by the President.
“General, I don’t want your speech and it will not change my mind. My first priority is to help the middle class in the United States of America not the damn world.”
The President disappeared in a beam of light causing Jack to breathe a sigh of relief. Somewhat, the new president needs to straighten his priority. If he continues to cut the defense budget, maybe he will persuade former President Henry Hayes to talk some sense out Demetrius Holly.
“Colonel, beam up Henry Hayes.”
“General, you’ve got an emergency call from Atlantis.” A communication officer reported.
As soon as Henry Hayes materialize in the bridge, wearing fishing gear and a tan hat and approaches Jack with a disappointed face.
“Jack, why was I beamed up here?” Henry asks.
“Hold on sir,” Jack said as he continues to order the communication officer to put the call from Atlantis on the speakers.
“General, 1200 hours yesterday; a speed boat carrying peace activist and Code Pink slam into the east pier. The boat exploded killing Teyla’s baby and Kanan.”
Jack and Henry did not like the news at all. Jack wants to know how the small speed boat passes through a naval blockade. He didn’t have to say it but John knew what to report.
“From what Admiral Whitmore told me, the new President adamantly wants the quarantine zone lifted as soon as possible.”
Henry Hayes taps Jack on the shoulder signaling him that he wants to talk.
“President Henry Hayes here, you can tell Admiral Whitmore that the quarantine zone stays and if the new President Holly have a problem with my standing orders, he knows where to reach me.”
“Yes sir Mr. President.”
“Tell Ms Teyla that I am so sorry about the lost of her only child and partner.”
“Thank you Mr. President.” A different voice came on.
“Jack have full authority to investigate and apprehend anyone responsible for the despicable act under Presidential order Sierra seven four delta nine.”
