"PREVIOUSLY ON STARGATE ATLANTIS" "Major Sheppard?" "!" "Major Sheppard who are all these people?" "!" "I am Teyla Emmagan Daughter of Tughan" "If the wraith have never touched your world you should go back there." "Oh we'd like to but we can't." "I don't see a life form like this ever dieing of natural ageing the way we do." "You trespassed upon our feeding ground." "You don't know what you have done." "Its Major Sheppard's IDC" "They've only been gone a few hours." "Atlantis, this is Sheppard we're coming in hot." "Lower the shield" "Raise the shield." "McKay!" "Medical team to the gateroom!" "I got a pulse" "How you feeling?" "Ilkae a thitua..." "I can' alk..." "You can't talk either" "I ow aths wat I sed." "Your body experienced a full overload to its sensory and motor nervous system..." "Ah quwat?" "You took one of those wraith stunners right in the face..." "It's really quite fascinating actually;" "the wraith weapon impedes a fire of neurons that enables the necessary" "Quwat?" "The paralysis is only temporary." "Don't worry Rodney." "You'll be up and about in no time." "Bloody good thing that wraith weapon is only designed to incapacitate... or he's be dead" "Quwat?" "Major?" "Could I see you for a second?" "Allo?" "Allloooo?" "!" "He's going to be fine..." "I've heard..." "I want to know what happened out there..." "The same old thing..." "Which makes it the fifth time your teams encountered the wraith out of... how many missions?" "nine... so... probably not a coincidence." "I think it's pretty damn obvious now." "We've got a spy in Atlantis." "Season 1 :" "Episode 5 Suspicion" "Could you please not do that here?" "My foot is still numb, if you'll excuse me..." "Well at least your mouth still works fine" "Alright let's get started." "Shouldn't we wait for Teyla?" "Teyla wasn't invited." "She's a member of my team" "She's also an Athosian sir." "So?" "If we've been compromised and every indication suggests that we have..." "It is almost certain that one of them is responsible" "We're talking about Teyla..." "I don't like it either Major..." "Good then get her on in here but the safety of this base and its personnel are my main concern... right now." "As it should be yours." "The wraith have shown up on the last five of the nine planets you team has visited and given the fact that two of those world were unpopulated... we can pretty much assume that they have been alerted to your missions by someone on this base." "If someone on this base was communicating with the wraiths... then why hasn't Atlantis been attacked?" "Good point..." "Maybe we should just stop using the Stargate indefinitely" " We can't do that..." " Why not?" "Because we need ZPMs to power this place." "Things seem to be running fine right now..." "Ok..." "When the wraith do show up..." "And they will..." "How do we defend ourselves?" "Or for that matter how do we get back to earth?" "This is the only Stargate in the Pegasus Galaxy that can even reach earth... and if it comes to that we're going to have to use the self destruct before the Wraith take the city." "Bottom line:" "We need to use the gate." "Then we've got to find out who's responsible ASAP." "I suggest we start by confining all non-base personnel to the south side of the complex." "Are you kidding?" "That's the absolute minimum we should do." "If Colonel Sumner was still here..." "He's not." "I am." "Yes sir." "We're not going to start treating anyone like prisoners..." "Well, that's good." "That said." "Steps should be taken to safeguard the more sensitive areas of this facility." "It's only reasonable." "I recommend that no go zones start with Stargate operations, the labs, power generation and the Jumper bay." "I'd like to meet with every Athosian on this base." "I mean they've been here three months..." "I only know a handful of them by name," "I could start setting up interviews as soon as we're done here..." "In the mean time..." "all gate travel is suspended." "Until further notice." "Sorry ma'am you can't come up..." "I'm on my way to see Dr Weir." "That area's of limits." "Since when?" "I believe there has been some sort of misunderstanding..." "I... was unaware a meeting had been called..." "Lets take a walk..." "What is happening?" "There may be a security leak on Atlantis." "Are you certain?" "Well Not certain certain... but pretty certain." "It means we're going to have to take temporary precautions." "Such as?" "Well..." "like uh... suspending gate travel, tightening security..." "getting to know your people... better" "You suspect an Athosian?" "Dr Weir wants to meet them..." "that's all... it's nothing personal." "Well... well I mean it is..." "in the sense she wants to meet them all personally" "You're aware of the horrors generations of my people have faced at the hands of the wraith... and yet you would still question their loyalty..." "Come on Teyla... that's not fair..." "You've got people running around Atlantis that's she's never even met." "I know each and everyone of them." "I would stake my lives on their innocence ok... well perhaps you've noticed that every time we step through the Stargate bad guys try to kill us." "and I'm getting a little tired of it..." "How bout you?" "That does not mean- look... all we're asking for..." "is a little cooperation that's all." "You shall have it." "Halling" "How's Jintu?" "Well enough for a boy confined to his living quarters." "I'm sorry, it's temporary but it is a necessary precaution." "So I've heard." "Then I assume you know why we've arranged these meetings..." "For the same reason my people can no longer go off-world or... enter parts of the city." "You no longer trust us." "Truth Halling." "We don't know who to trust." "Information regarding some off-world excursions has obviously found its way to the wraith." "Obviously?" "They can't be lying and waiting in every corner of this galaxy." "They are tracking our movements and we have to find out how." "Your help with this will be greatly appreciated." "Then by all means... how can I be of assistance?" "Thank you" "Since you've been here on Atlantis..." "You've been off-world three times?" "Yes I've been acting as a guide on behalf of Sgt Stackhouse's reconnaissance team... helping to establish relations between your people and some of our former trading partners." "Stackhouse reported he lost track of you on a couple of these outings..." "I did take the time to visit some close friends." "Interesting." "Two of your three visits predated wraith attacks by approximately a day" "Sergeant." " What are you suggesting?" " I'm not suggesting anything." "You think I would betray my own people?" "Jeopardize the life of my son?" "No one is making accusations" "I disagree." "You have already leapt to the conclusion that an Athosian is responsible." "Because it can't possibly be one of our own people..." "No." "We just need to clarify a few things." "Then allow me..." "I lost my closest friend in the wraith attack that forced us from our home world." "Sellena, the woman you spoke to before me, lost both her parents." "In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find an Athosian that has not experienced loss at the hands of the wraith." "These are the people you accuse." "We're not accusing anyone." "And I came here expecting an interview..." "Not an interrogation." "I mean I don't think it's too much to ask..." "What is it?" "nothing... nothing..." "Just can't bear the same meal day after day after day..." "Well buck up a little..." "I'm trying to run a diagnostic." "Sorry." "I mean... we are stranded with limited resources in another galaxy." "Come on the nearest bob-big boys is three hundred million light-years away... we have to make do..." "If that means you have to eat my favorite food two days in a row... so be it." "You enjoy military rations?" "I know... it's weird..." "Hospital food too." "The only reason I don't like aero plane food is you can't get seconds and I'm an absolute..." "Hello..." "What is it?" "Well it's a command sub routine I've never seen before..." "What is it's function?" "I don't know... because I've never seen it before." "Ok, I'm going to cross reference this with the ancients data base up in the control room..." "I'm just going to grab the a..." "What you touch?" " nothing nothing..." " No you were just..." " No no no I didn't." "I had no idea the roof could do that." "Neither did I..." "The gateroom and surrounding sections have been closed to us." "And we may no longer have access to the medical facility without escort." "We're under constant surveillance..." "our movements restricted." "How long must we put up with this?" "It has already been to long..." "I would have been expected to be included in this discussion..." "As we would have expected you to take a stand in our defense..." "They have taken action to defend everyone on this base." "That includes each and every one of you." "The presence of a wraith collaborator threatens us all." "Then you support Dr weir's decision to confine us?" "Halling... we are their guests." "We've become more like their prisoners..." "but unlike prisoners... we can choose to leave." "Where would you go?" "Do you not mean to say "Where would we go?"" "We have friends on other worlds who would gladly take us in..." "For how long?" "Good trading partners do not necessarily make good hosts..." "There are many worlds among these stars." "The wraith have awakened... no world is safe." "nor is it safe to remain..." "They will continue to do this until they find someone to blame." "You know in your heart that none of our people could be responsible for this..." "Of course." "Then we have nothing to fear." "You trust Dr Weir that much?" "I do." " More that you would trust your own people?" " No!" "I understand her responsibility" "Hallin" "We have met with the wraith offworld so often and so quickly... there must be a reason beyond coincidence..." "Give them a chance to find it." "I do not a approve of some of their measures... but I do know in the end they will help to prove our innocence." "Atlantis is far more than shelter." "It is hope." "Not only for our people but for everyone who would stand against the wraith." "We must not abandon that hope." "They may reside here Teyla but they are not the ancestors." "No matter how much you wish them to be." "Sir." "Ford..." "Heard they got a sun roof open on the jumper bay..." "Yep..." "Also heard you're planning to take a Jumper out..." "I figure that's what the door on the roof is for..." "Anyone else call shot gun?" "Just gonna drive around the planet check it out..." "Oh you're just checking out the planet... oh never mind then that's cool I mean..." "I've got better things to be doing than cruising around the planet in a space ship." "You're like a kid you know that?" "Yes sir." "I brought along something to eat on the ride..." "What's that?" "How about a nice... turkey sandwhich..." "Lets go." "Send in whoever's next please..." "Teyla" "I wasn't expecting you." "I was surprised to be left of your list..." "I didn't feel it was necessary in your case..." "On the contrary you should have spoken to me first..." "You're right..." "I should have." "I can tell you anything you need to know about my people..." "Is it possible you don't know them all as well as you think?" "I empathize with you Dr Weir..." "As leaders we are often forced to make difficult decisions in the interests of those we serve..." "But many of my fellow Athosian are not so... understanding..." "I know..." "But there's nothing I can do about that now..." "People can suspect my motives for these meeting all they want." "But you and I need to agree that we have a problem..." "I have to do what ever I can to get to the bottom of it and right now that means sitting down and talking to every single person here..." "You should know there is talk of leaving Atlantis" "I hope it doesn't come to that." "Not all change is for the worst..." "Flight this is Jumper three we are go for bay launch." "Jumper three you are good to go." "Yes we are..." "It's strange not pulling into Gs..." "Yeah... kinda miss it." "Although at this rate of acceleration we'd be dead by now." "yeah?" "Oh yeah... without inertial dampening we'd be hit by so many Gs our eyes would pop... the skin would pull away from our faces, our brains would squish up to the back of our skulls and our internal organs would be crushed into these chairs" "What about that sandwhich?" "Flight we're going to take a low orbit around the planet." "We'll advise when we're back in radio range..." "Copy that Jumper three..." "Good luck" "You know we still haven't named the planet yet..." "I'm sure the ancients have a name for it..." "How about Atlantica or something like that." "I thought we agreed you weren't going to name anything anymore?" "Sir..." "Is that land?" "Yes...it is..." "Wonder how big it is?" "Big." "Really big..." "It's huge..." "Define huge... 15 million square miles... give or take..." "Well that would make it approximately the size of..." "I have no idea but it sounds huge..." "How long would it take us to get there?" "25 minutes by Jumper from ground to ground..." "I saw some sweet breakers on the south table..." "there may be surfing in our futur..." "We should send a team to go get soil and water samples." "He's right if the land's arable it could solve a lot of our food productions problems" "Actually I was thinking of something else..." "Not surfing?" "No sir..." "We can't resume offworld missions as long as the Athosian remain in the city..." "So you want to dump them on the main land" "Sound like we're sending them out to die major..." "Well how the hell would you know..." " It looked pretty wild down there..." " A second ago we were going surfing..." "Well that was after we check for monsters and... bugs and other space related things..." "I can't imagine it would be worse than their original home world..." "That could be just failure of imagination on your part." "And any case a survey would tell us what we need to know..." "You're not seriously thinking about this?" "We're the reason they had to leave their planet in the first place." "This is a complicated situation major..." "Well what does that mean..." "It means I'm not about to rule anything out... at this point..." "Dr weir..." "Is it true you have discovered land on this world" "Yes it is" "Then my people wish to take our leave to explore it." "You would?" "We're no longer welcome here..." "That's not the case" "And it will make us useful as long as we have no access to the gate..." "We don't even know if it's safe..." "We can determine that... for both our people..." "I don't get it... up until now you have been insisting on access to the Stargate and now you're proposing to deliberately cut yourself off from it..." "We cannot leave... and we cannot stay..." "The main land presents us with a third option..." "I see" "You said yourself this was a temporary measure" "Yes of course..." "You have the means to assure us passage between Atlantis and the main land... when you decide to resume use of the gate." "And if we resume our missions through the Stargate and stop encountering the wraith at every turn... it will only prove that there is a spy on the Athosian." "And when you continue to encounter the wraith at every turn... it will only prove our innocence." "Have you discussed this with Teyla?" "Teyla has made her decision..." "I understand you are not coming with us." "Dr weir has arranged for communications between Atlantis and the main land..." "Should you ever need our assistance..." "Thank her for us..." "I hope..." " I don't want anyone to believe that I'm..." " Teyla." "The time has come." "Go safely..." "And you..." "I've never been separated from my people before..." "It must be hard..." "but you know you'll see them again..." "You doubt that you will one day return to earth..." "I can't afford that doubt" "You mean you can not afford to let them show." "You're still a leader Teyla..." "You are doing this for you're people and for their future..." "They know that." "Anxious to step through the gate again Major?" " Yes I am..." " We all our..." " You like us to bring back anything special?" " uh... no thanx..." "Groceries?" "A new outfit?" "Flatware..." "Hmm... no..." "just yourselves in one piece please." "Dial it up." "Be safe." "Well good stuff?" "I can't even begin to tell you how fascinating this is." "Anthropologist fascinating or actual fascinating?" "Yes well maybe fascinating isn't the right word." "Maybe not." "How much longer?" "Realistically." "We'll probably be needing to come back... there's just so much here..." "Well I can see that is there any way to speed things up?" "well sure find me someone who can translate some of the ruin." "Did you say there were natives here?" "They are very shy people." "They probably went into hiding the moment we came through the gate." "Is there any way you can coax them out." "Have them give us a hand?" "It is unlikely but I could try." "Lt, go with her." "It would be better if I went alone." "You will be alone, with Lt Ford." "Maybe they're not around." "They are near but you are a stranger to them." "They will not come out of hiding so long as you are with me." "They are not a dangerous people Lt. I will be fine." "Alright I'll wait here." "Call me on the radio if you need me." "WRAITH!" "Back to the Gate Now!" "Teyla!" "Major what's the situation?" "Lt we're taking fire." "You're going to have to circle around to get back to the gate." "Teyla's not with me she went to get..." "Find her." "Get her back." "Move out!" "Lumano!" "McKay!" "grab the Major." " What about Lt Ford?" " Now!" "Shut it down they're right behind us." "We have to go back." "Teyla?" "Lt Ford?" "Still on the planet." "We have to go back now!" "I'd advise against it." "You have wraith all over the gate." "We can't just leave them there." "How many?" "Its hard to say most of them were behind the tree line." "We're wasting time here we need to mount a rescue operation." "I'm not going to send anyone through that gate until I have all the facts Doctor." "How did Teyla and Lt Ford get separated from you?" "They went to check out the area and try to make contact with some of the natives." "And whose idea was that?" "Mine." "She was following my orders." "Shouldn't you be back at the infirmary?" "No I'm fine I didn't take a full blast." "Why didn't you go with them major?" "Well the natives of that planet are easily spooked." "Teyla thought we'd scare them off with a big group." "Teyla did..." " What's that sergeant?" " She was conveniently absent during the ambush." "So was Ford maybe it was him?" "I'm just stating a fact sir." "Sergeant I am only going to say this once." "With all due respect Major You can reprimand me if you wish... but its been six times your team has been compromised." "Only one Athosian knew about this last mission." "We have an unscheduled off-world activation." "It's Teyla's IDC." "Receiving a radio transmission." "This is Teyla." "Lt Ford has been wounded." "The wraith are closing in on our position." "You put down that shield and we could be opening up this base to a wraith attack." "Atlantis, please let us through." "Lt Ford can you confirm the situation." "He is unconscious." "Our situation grows desperate." "Soon we will have no choice but to go through the Stargate." "We drop that shield and who knows what she'll bring through the gate with her." "Open up the damn gate!" "Lower the shield." "If she were helping the Wraith why bother bringing Ford back." "In fact why bother coming back at all?" "She's off more use to them here in Atlantis as for apparently rescuing Lt Ford." "She carried him through the gate what's apparent about that." "He's unconscious sir we still don't know what happened." " Oh that's enough" " Its my job to express security concerns." " I've heard enough of your concerns." " Again with all due respect Major ..." "I believe you're putting your personal feeling in front of your..." "You're dismissed." "Yes sir." "What?" "I'm the one who put him in charge of security." "Yes you did... and if you want to dismiss me." "Go ahead." "Why don't you go see how Lt Ford is doing." "You want me to go through her stuff?" "We're looking for weapons, transmitters, recording devices... anything that looks like its beyond the Athosian level of technology." "And if I don't find anything we move onto a strip search?" "Just do it." "We were on our way back, when we came under fire." "Didn't even see them." "We returned fire they made for the gate." "I was shot from behind." "She saved my ass back there major." "Of course she did." "Major I oh..." "Ford how are you feeling pins and needles all over?" "Oh yeah welcome to the club." "No sir I managed to dive out of the way of the stun blast." "I must have hit my head on the way down." " You hit your head?" " Major I need you to see something." "I'll be fine." " What the hell is this?" " I know how it looks." "It was a special request from Sergeant Bates." " I'm gonna bust that Son of a Bitch." " Major..." "Teyla has nothing to do with this." "The thing is he was right." "Bates was right?" "I know I was as surprised as you are." "Look at this." "Its her locket." "It's a transmitter," "Its been broadcasting a continuous signal" "I wouldn't even have noticed if I hadn't been looking for it specifically." " I found it." " What?" "Back on her planet the first time we met." "Teyla took me to the old ruins." "That was half buried in dirt I gave it to here." "I lost this years ago." "The locket isn't powerful enough to send a signal very far certainly not through subspace." "Now, my guess is there are probably relay devices on certain planets that probably pick up the transmission and alert the nearest hive ship." "Those were the planets we were attacked." "Boy do we owe a few people an apology." "Teyla had no idea she was giving away your position." "She said it was a present from her father... she lost it when she was a kid." "It was probably dormant until Major Sheppard picked it up activated it." "If she wore it as a kid why weren't they attacked back then..." "Didn't I just say it was dormant?" "But if it was activated by touch." "You're not listening." "I said major Sheppard activated it" "As far as the wraith are concerned" "Teyla is just another human being." "They would have no interest tracking her..." " now Major Sheppard on the other hand." " Has the Ancient gene." "Exactly." "Now at one point the wraiths and the ancients were at war the wraiths created a transmission device to detect ancients" "SO some Athosian thought this would make a nice little necklace." "How could I possibly know that?" "What am I answer man?" "The point is..." "It wasn't Teyla or any other Athosian for that matter." "If that's the case we can use it against them." " You seem nervous." " No..." "I'm part of this team I'm doing this." "Yes you are." "I just said you seemed nervous." "Oh really..." "I thought you said Rodney you don't have to do this." " Yes you do." " Damn right I'm doing this... despite the fact the feeling has a completely turned my extremities." " You're late." " Sorry" "Now given the wraiths regenerative abilities killing one requires some amount of effort." "Catching one alive is going to be a whole other deal for any of these options to work your wraith has to be on the ground." "The last planet we visited was inaccessible by ship." "and the ruins around the Stargate should force the wraith to come through on foot." "In which case, You'll be able to use these." "This is a stun grenade." "Its filled with a mixture of aluminum and potassium percolate that when ignited produces a high pressure wave that will overwhelm the intended target with intense light and sound." "If that doesn't get his head ringing." "In addition, you've got your tazer with a range of 15 to 20 feet it delivers a high voltage low Ambridge charge that limits the body's electrical signals temporarily paralyzing the victim." "Major this is Ford." "What you Got Lt?" "We've got company." "Four of them." "Alright then we go as planned." "Yes, Sir." "You still seem nervous." "No no no, its good good." "All go, all good." "Teyla." "This one's ours boys." "Tazers!" "Self destruct." "Take cover!" "Major!" "Dr McKay?" "You ok?" "I'm fine." "This is... this is fun for me." "Easy..." "Don't go blowing yourself up." "Teyla Excuse me." "I was hoping to catch you before you headed back to the main land." "I hear they're doing well." "Very well." "According the Halling they're busily planting crops for the next harvest." "I'm glad to hear it." "I will tell them what has happened, hopefully in time we will all be able to put the events of the past week behind us." "Yes, I am aware that the last few days have been particularly difficult for you." "I believe, Dr Weir." "That in your place, I would have done the same." "Thank you." "Again, Your kind is persistent." "I would have thought you'd given up by now." "Aww hell I've got all the time in the world." "Now you on the other hand." "The ancients were pretty good at shields and stuff like that, weren't they?" "I give you a week, maybe two tops." "You waste your time." "I'll provide you with no information." "Wonder what hurts more the gun shot wound or the hunger?" "Because I'd love to help out but how did McKay put it?" "We can't meet your dietary requirements." "When I am free, you will be the first that I feed upon." "Okie dokie." "I'm going to go make myself a sandwhich." "Human." "You think you've won a victory by my capture but by bringing me here you've only hastened your own doom." "Its only a matter of time before the others of my kind come to rescue me." "And when they do," "They'll be no where in this world you can hide." "Stay positive now."
