Summary: The team makes plans about what they are going to do with the ship.
“Hello Major, I’ve been looking for you,” Dr. Carson Beckett, Atlantis’s Chief of Medicine, told John Sheppard as he sat across from him looking at Johns full tray of food, “not hungry,” he asked as he cut into his…something.
“Not really Doc,” John said looking at his breakfast. “We were going to a different Galaxy, you’d think the military would send sausage that actually looked like the real thing,” he said as he stabbed him meat.
“That’s what this is, I thought we traded for it,” Carson said surprised.
“No, it came from good old earth,” John said taking a bite, “what’s up?”
“I wanted to thank you for not telling the others that I had a relative on Atlantis as well,” Carson said looking at John.
“Wasn’t important to the meeting,” John shrugged as he chopped his meat into smaller pieces.
“Even so, thank you Major”
“It’s John…and I saw him again,” John said looking up from his meal.
“When, what did he say,” questioned the doctor.
“Last night and all he would say is that I have to take his ship to whatever that place is. Oh and that I might want to visit Chaya…”
“Did he say what it was …or that Chaya might know?”
“Only that it’s important and that if we don’t get there soon it’ll be too late and that Chaya might be able to talk me into going.”
“Have you talking to Dr. Weir yet?”
“Not yet, I’d figured I’d go later,” John said as he took a bite of meat.

“Ah Peter, How are you doing,” Dr. Elizabeth Weir, head of Atlantis asked looking up from her desk.
“I’m fine Dr. Weir,” Dr. Peter Grodin started before fully entering the room, “you needed to see me?”
“Yes, a couple of days ago I asked you to work with both McKay and Zelenka on the heavily encrypt part of the database. Now, I realize that with both of them working on other more pressing matters you may be on your own most of the time. They’ll help when they can…”Dr. Weir told Peter when he interrupted.
“I understand Dr. Weir…if I can ask…what did they find?” Peter asked.
“Find”
“On the planet they were on, Major Sheppard’s team was gone less than four hours then McKay locked himself and Zelenka in his lab overnight then after a short meeting they both left without the Major. The whole city is talking about it,” he explanted.
“I didn’t realize that. I suppose I should have. Now don’t get excited but we may have found a ship,” she paused seeing the surprise on his face, “it’s a small one and we don’t know what shape it’s in but…” she stopped when the Stargate burst to life in the room below, “if that’s them maybe they have some answers, just work on the Database when you can.” She said as she headed for the control room.

“Just a few more hours”
“You’ve already had over four Rodney,” Dr. Weir told the complaining scientist.
“Fine,” he snapped as he dropped into his seat.
There was a pause till Dr. Zelenka decided to start, “The ship will work fine but the biggest problem will be power…”
“I thought a Naquadah generator would work,” cut in John.
“If the last owner hadn’t screwed with it yes it would have, but he changed the drive from a Tran-galactic to an interstellar drive,” Rodney complained.
“And the power can’t reach the new drive,” Zelenka added.
“Why would he have done that Doctor?” asked Teyla.
“The ship can’t get to another galaxy it would take far too long,” McKay answered.
“Can we use it Rodney?” Dr. Weir questioned.
“Yes, under limited circumstance,” McKay started when Carson interrupted.
“Very limiting.”
“Yes well,” Rodney said not looking at Carson.
“What is it?” John asked this time.
“Because of how we had to route power a lot is wasted to run the hyper drive, with what’s left we can run the cloak, shields on a very low setting, and a very cold environment for four.”
“Three”
Rodney gave Carson a glare before continuing, “Three people in one room.”
“One room?”
“Only three?”
“How cold McKay?”
McKay turned to John before answering his question, “Around negative five Celsius,” he held up his hands to stop the outburst he knew was coming, “with some of our heaters and warm clothing we can make it closer to zero.”
“That’s so much better,” Lt. Ford said sarcastically.
“Why only three people Doctor,” Telya asked before he could reply to Lt. Fords comment, as she gave Ford a disapproving look.
“I think four but Carson think it would be safer with only three because of the life support, more that four or three people will tax the power we can supply it with,” Rodney said.
“Anything else,” Dr. Weir double-checked.
“Ah-yes one thing,” Zelenka started,” the control in the engine room have security safe guards that require the person to have the real Gene. The artificial gene won’t work, not sure why,” he finished.
“So John, Rodney, I assume you both plan on going,” Dr. Weir asked. John nodded and so did McKay at first.
“Go…Go where?”
“To what ever that thing outside the Galaxy is,” John said smiling, “the Ancient said we have to leave soon.”
McKay just glared at John, “Why am I always the last to know, why didn’t someone say something sooner?” he started his rant.
“Oh, I thought you’d find out sooner or later,” John said grinning, about to go on when both Carson and Weir stop him.
“Major”
