Mainland Stargazing.

[athoslantean]

With her people on Lantea's mainland, Teyla was torn between staying in the city and staying with her people. In the end, she had opted to stay with the humans from Earth. She owed them no less than whatever help she could give ion exchange for saving the lives of her and her people. Out of sympathy for the Athosian Leader, Dr. Weir had given Teyla the freedom to request travel between the city and the mainland whenever she wished, provided that there was no crisis occurring that would put either group in jeopardy.

This was how she came to be in the Jumper bay, awaiting her escort and pilot so she could spend a couple of days with her people and help them settle into their new home.
