Xander pondered it quietly and briefly while Cassandra and Chloe -- and yes, Faith -- awaited an answer. They worked here as a group, a team effort as it were. If there was some place that someone didn't want to explore or had reservations about, there wasn't a "majority rules," mentality. Though really that hadn't come into play during the few short months that Faith and Xander had been with Cassandra and Chloe; and before them, Daniel, Ami and Jon as well ( ... )

The moment the words "We have an unidentified craft in satellite range..." crackled across the radio, Elizabeth was on her feet, pushing away from the conference room table. She didn't need to hear the summons that came after. Unidentified craft in satellite range triggered much the same response in her that "Unscheduled off-world gate activation" did. The short translation?

Move your tail, Elizabeth.Of course, it helped that the meeting she was currently drowning in was one she didn't want to sit through in the first place. Even so, it was easy to suppress her smile of relief at the legitimate excuse to bail. Given the effects the last ship in orbit had on the colony, there was more cause for concern than not ( ... )

"We got an alarm from the satellite about half an hour ago, Ma'am," Walter said. "We're still working through the data but it appears to be a manned spacecraft ( ... )

The calls for the team leads gave Major Evan Lorne the idea that the chances were better than even that he'd be needed at the gate area. He'd been at a debriefing with one of the 'lesser' gate teams, going over actions; what was done, what could have been done better tactically, when the call came out ( ... )

Elizabeth took in Walter's assessment with only the faintest frown on her face -- more a comment on her curiosity and concern than any displeasure. She nodded slowly, and then glanced to Lorne as the Major made his suggestion.

"Do it," she agreed. "But, yes, cloaked. I don't want it taking pot-shots at you. And don't fire back unless you absolutely have no other choice." She didn't want to waste the drones. Not when there was potentially something bigger out there. She turned then to Boone and Harkness, peripherally to the gate tech as well. "Set up security around the gate. I want to be ready to open a wormhole in case we need an evacuation route." To Lorne again: "If it looks like that ship's heading to the gate, you need to buy us as much time as you can. I do not want to be digging us out again for the next year and half ( ... )

Jack stood quietly by, listening as Chief Master Sergeant Walter Harriman explained what had prompted him to put out an "All personnel to the Gate area" call. He watched the reactions from Doctor Weir and Major Lorne as they took in the news and acted from the instincts they'd developed during their years in Stargate Command. Jack gave Doctor Weir a small nod when she included him in those she wanted setting up security around the gate. He promised her, "The gate will be ready if it's needed."

Jack wondered how well Lorne would be able to buy them time if it was needed. They didn't have the resources to do more than use delaying tactics and run. It was a frustrating thought knowing how much they needed to be able to protect people. They only had limited knowledge of their enemies, but they did know without a doubt they had enemies. Jack remained still until Doctor Weir nodded, squared her shoulders, looked around at everyone again and gave them the order to go.

He moved.

The call for 'gate teams drew Teyla. She quickly suited up in her vest, grabbed a weapon and listened to the radio chatter.

Arriving at the 'gate, she gave a nod of greeting to Captain Harkness, and joined with her team leader, Captain Boone. All around her, soldiers came to stand at ready, waiting for anything.

It was good to see that in the absence of the General, even those not associated with Atlantis responded to Dr. Weir.

"Ahoy the planet. Sorry for stomping all over your communications channel, but I don't know what other frequencies you're listening on. I'm speaking from a vessel that is currently in orbit around Gamma--I believe that's what you call the planet. We're friendly and we'd like to talk to someone in authority down there. Please respond."The greeting came in loudly over Teyla's headset and from the subtle shifts among the marines and airmen, on theirs as well. From the sound of things, the greeter, a female, made her call on several different frequencies ( ... )
