Flipping the pages of his copy of Caldwell’s after-action report from one point to another, Balok looked at the officer in front of him. “Colonel, you and your crew spent a little less than two weeks on Atlantis after your rescue. Is that correct?” Sitting straight in his chair,…
“Unscheduled off world activation. Unscheduled off world activation!” Despite having been in command of the SGC for just over a year, General James Balok knew he was never going to get used to hearing those words sung out several times a week. He also didn’t think he was…
Two and a half days of frantic packing, endless Jumper flights, last minute innovations and never-ending worry later, Atlantis and her citizens were as ready to leave Lantea as they ever would be. The freshwater tanks where Atlantis stored desalinated sea water were full and the waste treatment…
The Jumper loads of wounded were gone, and only the dead remained behind. Snorting softly to himself, Radek shook his head. He really wasn’t that much of a romantic, and but while the thought was unpleasant there was still an element of truth to it. The only people from…
Shortly after Jumper One had ditched them to check out the space station, Jumpers Two and Three had received a weak distress signal from the wreck of the Daedalus. Listening to the voice of an unknown Lieutenant describe the numbers of dead and wounded, Lorne swallowed hard, more than…

Sitting in the main conference room, thinking over the revelations of the last hour, John was reminded of the chain of events that had lead to the expedition’s return to Atlantis. After hearing what the SGC had decided the four of them had been left with a feeling of…
After a late night visit from Dr. Jackson and Lt. O’Neill, Elizabeth had decided it would be a good idea to call an early morning meeting so the command staff could be there when the pair delivered the information they carried. As a courtesy she was also…
