Summary by the author:
Everyone works together when Ronon reveals his plan to destroy a Hive ship.
On AO3 the author tagged the story also with "Team as Family" - can't say it better.
Written from a great Ronon POV, we see the team through his eyes - melagan does an *awesome* job with that. And I love how Ronon is shown matching the background we know from the show: as a member of his homeworld force with knowledge according to his former rank and function. This story would also very well match the "Ronon"-category, but since team plays such a big role in it, the story fits the "Team"-category as well. This could easily have been an episode.
Since it's an SGA-Reverse-Bang-story you should not forget to follow the link on AO3 to the great artwork that inspired the story.
"We're being hailed," Sheppard cut off McKay, turning his full attention to the comm and the ship in front of them.
"Lantean ship, this is the captain of the Pelagia. Do you have Specialist Dex aboard your vessel?"
"Ronon? You know who this is?" Teyla asked.
"Maybe. The Pelagia is a Traveler ship. Ask again who the captain is, Sheppard."
"Oh, I think we can do better than that." With a thought, Sheppard brought up a visual of the ship's bridge. "Captain, this is Lt. Colonel John Sheppard, what's your interest in Specialist Dex?"
"Captain Rance, here. Your concern for your shipmate is commendable, Col. Sheppard, but don't worry, Dex and I are old friends. I mean no disrespect, but we have an urgent situation and I hope he's got good news for us."
Sheppard waved Ronon forward, where he exchanged places with McKay. "Find out what's going on and just how urgent is urgent."
Captain Rance looked almost exactly as Ronon remembered him. His hair might be a little grayer but his broad shoulders, compact build, and neatly trimmed beard hadn't changed much over the years. His eyes were the color of ash and full of concern.
"Rance. Ronon here. What do you want?"
