Making You Better Chapter 4
Todd growled at the trigger-happy Satedan, who was pointing his gun in his face.
“Ronon!” Dr. Weir warned. “He's here to help us.”
“Never trust a wraith,” Ronon hissed.
“A good suggestion on most days,” Todd conceded. “But today is not one of those days.”
He turned to Weir, ignoring the ape for the moment. “I have some news on our hunt for the one who kidnapped John Sheppard.”
Weir moved forward and pushed Ronon's gun down. She then gave Todd her full attention. “Go ahead,” she said, earning a smirk from the wraith.
“I have spoken with some of our worshipers on a planet near the outer edge of this galaxy. They had been in contact with the half-breed you call Michael.”
“Did he take Colonel Sheppard?” Weir asked.
“From what I've heard, I believe so,” Todd answered. “Though, I'm not certain on where he's taken him. There are many planets near that planet of worshipers that he could have gone.”
“How many?” Weir asked, trying not to show her nervousness.
Todd shrugged, a human mannerism he's picked up from his many interactions with Sheppard. “At least twenty, but it shouldn't take long to narrow it down. We have a way of detecting other wraith, or almost wraith, that should make things easier.”
"Then I want you to take some of our people and equipment to help speed up the search and to be ready to mount an immediate rescue operation if need be," Weird ordered, making Todd grin.
“Make sure Dr. Beckett is among them,” Todd said.
"Why?" Weir asked though she was planning to send Beckett anyway.
“Because if Michael took him, we would assume it was for some experiment, not simply to torture or kill him,” Todd answered.
A somber air filled the room. Ronon looked like he wanted to kill something, as did Major Lorne look as though he would gladly go on a killing spree the moment their enemy was in sight.
The Major greatly respected and admired his commanding officer. The thought of someone doing experiments on him, hurting him, was enough to severely wear away his calm.
“I'd like to be part of the company, Ma'am,” Lorne requested of Weir.
“I was going to suggest just that, Major,” Weir answered with a smile. “I want both SGA teams 1 and 2 ready to go in thirty minutes. And bring some more marines with you. As many as you feel is necessary.”
“Yes, Ma'am,” Lorne responded, then turned and left Weir's office, Ronon following behind.
Weir turned her attention to Todd. “I'm going to have them take two Jumpers with as well.” She stood and watched the wraith for a moment. “I'm trusting you with my people and their lives. I know you have an understanding with Colonel Sheppard, and I hope that extends to the people he cares about,” she said, deadly serious. “What I mean to say is, don't let any of your brethren eat any of my people.”
Todd let out a scratchy laugh. “Worry not, Dr. Weir. I want to find John Sheppard as much as you do. I consider him an honorary brother. As does my crew. He saved my life, after all.”
“Good,” Weir said with a soft sigh.
Todd nodded sagely, then turned and left her office.
The wraith communicated telepathically with his hive, informing them of their impending visitors. He laid down the rules right away. Allow the humans to live comfortably on the ship, include their expertise and manpower in the search, and the ultimate rescue of John Sheppard. No harm is to come to these humans, unless in self-defense.
It wasn't long before both Jumpers were loaded up with Major Lorne's SGA 2 team, the remnants of SGA 1, plus Dr. Beckett and ten more marines. They made sure to load up enough food to last a few weeks, and enough ammo to last through a few firefights. They followed Todd's dart back to his hive and landed the Jumpers right next to all the darts in the dart bay.
Ronon was understandably on edge, but his tension was beginning to affect everyone else.
“Ronon, we may be on this hive for some time,” Teyla said softly, as they disembarked and were shown quarters they could use. “You need to calm down before you do something foolish.”
“I hate working with wraith,” Ronon groused.
“Then you must be civil,” Teyla told him. “And make sure you keep your gun set to stun,” she added with a grin.
Dr. Rodney McKay had ridden in the Jumper fairly quietly, but once he was on the hive, he commandeered several computer terminals, hooking up his Earth tech to the Wraith tech. He barked orders to wraith and human alike, taking over the search for John in the tech department.
“I need to know which planets John could be on. I can cross-reference with the Ancient database and, hopefully, narrow it down,” Rodney said loudly, all in one breath. One of Todd's scientists quietly supplied Rodney with the information he needed.
The wraith that John had dubbed 'Kenny' oversaw the integration of the human search efforts with that of the wraith. He was quite amused with Dr. McKay's antics.
Todd overheard all the comments and complaints from his crew through their telepathic link. He had to remind them why they were doing this.
Some still didn't understand or approve of the amount of work and resources they were putting into finding one human, who was probably dead. Those wraith were mentally reprimanded and reminded of who their commander was.
They quieted for the most part, but they still complained about having to share their workspace with rowdy humans.
