It’s the year 3000 and the planet Earth is in a state of equilibrium with the humans that live upon it. Global warming has been over come and the human race is now more technologically advanced then anyone ever dreamed off. This was thanks to do with one of the answers to the greatest questions that have ever been asked: Is there life in the universe besides us? There is. Trading, Alliances and friends allowed humans to become one of the most powerful beings in the world.
Until they met the Geni…
The Geni are a proud, powerful race. They showed humans cures from everything from the common cold to cancer. But then the deaths started. Three days of insanaty, nightmares and symptoms like the flu until on the third day the sufferers died because there organs crumble under the pressure of there beating hearts. It was a week or so after the beginning that the Earth received a transition from the Geni- They had to give up a piece of technology that they had acquired or the earth would be wiped out. The technology, like a mobile phone could open up wholes between time and space itself, transporting the user to another planet. The government of corse thinking there threat where futile. But then no word was heard from Paris… then Moscow disappeared of the map… entire cities destroyed in less then a heartbeat. After negotiations fail, the world leaders send through the portal device military personal, doctors, scientists and anyone else they believe that will preserve the human race.
So they come to the new planet and find themselves in a great city. On father discovery they find that it is situated in the middle of the ocean, the archeologists determine that the name of the city is Atlantis. What will a group of humans do? Stuck in a strange galaxy with no home to go to and new and even more formidable enemies then the ones that they left behind. And a divide that allows transport to there planets and dimensions in this galaxy…
(So we need milatery personel, doctors, sciantists... yada yada yada...)

Name: Doctor Sara Fox
Age: 29
Description: (http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/2121/sarauw0.jpg)
Bio: Sara is a very imtelligent woman. She knows what she has to do and never lets emotions get involved with her work. She can be very sarcastic and a lot of people don't understand her when she is. She doesn't really like to get involoved with people emotionally because of a past experience that she has told no one about. She doesn't really open up and is very professional.
Name: Zach Dorian
Age: 29
Description: (http://img336.imageshack.us/img336/3231/zachbraffpz3.jpg)
Bio: Zach used to be in the same intern class as Sara. Whereas she stayed at that hospital, he moved on to a different hospital. Sara had always been there for him and he always had a bit of a thing for her, but he doesn't know if she likes him back. He gets sent to the base and is thrilled when he hears that Sara is there too. He starts to sense a little bit of jelousy from John, and plays with that. He can be quite manipulative when he wants to be...but is he working for the other side?
-
The alarms set of in the main room and with a loud crack like thunder, a portal opened up and in ran a dozzen people, firing back through the potal. Two of them where carrying a limp body between them and trhe portal closed with a crack. "Get Dr.Fox down here, Shepperds been shot..." one of them yelled, ignoring the protests of the bloody Majour.
-
-Sara was awoken by one of the soldiers. She slowly opened her eyes and got up. She threw on the first t-shirt she got a hold of and the jeans that were on the floor. She grabbed one of her small first aid kits and jogged down the the stairs. She got to the bottom and looked at John and the soldiers standing around him-
Get him on a table then
-As they did she carried on to the table and stood above him-
Shepperd? Can you hear me?
-
"I can here all of you, for cryin out loud!" he snapped sitting up. "A bang on the head and a bullit through the leg and everyone thinks in dieing," he said, looking around at the soldures.
-
-Sara pushed him back down to lay on the table-
I know you're not dying Shepperd, I was just making sure you wasn't going to slip in to a sodding coma!
-Sara looked at his leg. Blood everywhere. she took a bottle of water off of one of the soldiers and poured it over the wound to clean it up. She looked at it closely. The bullet was lodged in there, but wasn't near a vein or artery. He was lucky. She looked back up at him and pulled the bullet out. She looked back at the wound. She opened her small kit, pulling out a bandage. She wrapped it around his leg and tied the ends together tightly. She looked back up at him-
You're gonna need some pain killers and I'll have to check up on it again in about 5 hours to make sure it doesn't get infected
-
"Right untill then I am going to go and kick those guies ar-" he was interupted by a voice over the intercom system anouncing that he was off active duty untill they had established who set the ambush. Shepperd slumped back anoyed.
-
-Sara smirked-
That was a good thing Sheppard. You should even stand on your leg for a while, just in case.
-Sara looked at the crowd of soldiers around them. She turned and looked at them-
Move please.
-Sara smiled as they moved out of her way. She went to the small kitchen to grab a drink. She got a bottle of water out of the fridge and leant against the counter as she took a sip of it. She screwed the cap back on and looked up to the ceiling-
-
Sheppered poked his tounge at her back. How he hated Doctors. "Alright, since you guys are here, pull up a piew and we will get the debriefing done now..." he said rudely.
-
-Sara put the bottle on her forehead. She was having such a nice sleep, especially as last night she was up half the night looking after one of the other soldiers who thought he was going to die, even though his arm was only grazed by a bullet. She looked back at the soldiers with Sheppard, they followed him so religiously, if he wasn't around, they'd all be rather lost. She was glad she wasn't like that, she used to be, but she's not any more, she's independent-
-
"... and the next person that insists on draging me back after an incident like that, you will fing my boot up you perverbial arse... dissmissed," he snapped and the men quickly left. Sheppered lent back and closed his eyes for the momant.
-
-Sara heard what he had said. How dare he say that to them? They could have saved his life if that bullet was up a few centimetres. She walked back in there and looked at him-
You know what? Those people idolise you and you treat them like something on the bottom of your shoe. They saved your life today and you treat them like that! You really need to realise that one day you'll look around and they won't be there to help you
-
John sat up and looked at her. "Listen, Doc. I have been there to many times and I do not apreaciate being dragged back... I would have happily walked," he said dangerously. "And you do not know what its like being out in combat... unless you care to join us next time..." he smirked.
-
-Sara looked at him and smirked-
Actually I wouldn't mind, maybe then you could be a doctor for the day. I know you probably don't have the brains to do it, or even the emotional strength, you can watch young kids die on you, close friends come down with horrible diseases and also if you're lucky your family tell you you're a disgrace because you didn't want to do what they wanted you to do.
-Sara tried to stop the anger pouring out of her in a huge rant that she could feel coming on, but she would leave it for her journal, that would be the safest place for it-
-
John looked at her and slowly got to his feet. "We have a recon mision comming up, we will need medical personell there," he said an turned away. "I had to shoot my own father, in the line or duty so dont preach emotional strenghth to me," he said and turned away.
-
-Sara watched him walk away. She felt kind of bad jumping at him like that, but he did still need a bit of a wake up call. She sat up on the table and took another sip of her water. She looked around at the different groups of people standing around. She didn't fit into anyof them. She felt a bit like an outcast. She slid off the table and made her way back up to her small box-like room-
-
John hobbled to his quaters, cursing about Doctors as he did. He didn't plan on going back, he had worse injurys before and the reason that he was rude was because they came back to drag him evern where he was running... well hobbling towards the portal. He shook his head and got out the laptop and began typing reports.
-
-Sara looked around her small room. Most people's rooms that she had been into had pictures of loved ones and such things. She looked to the bottom of her bed and sighed. She lied down and pulled her covers up over her head trying not to think about anything-
-
John shifted and winced. He needed something to take the edge of the pain while he worked. He hobbled to the Doctors rooms and bashed on the door. "Doc? You ok?" he asked, seeing her liing in bed.
-
John shifted and winced. He needed something to take the edge of the pain while he worked. He hobbled to the Doctors rooms and bashed on the door. "Doc? You ok?" he asked, seeing her liing in bed.
-
-Sara heard his voice and sighed. She pulled the covers off of her head and looked up at him-
Yeah, what do you want?
-
"Well, since I walked out without pain killers I was going to ask if you had any, and I need your medical report to file up... and I also been told that I got to spend the night in here..." he said, smiling as politely as he could.
-
-Sara stood up, mumbling something to herself. She went to her wardrobe and opened it up. She threw a blanket and two pillows on the floor for John to use and then she took her keys out of her pocket and opened a small metal box and took out a small bottle that had painkillers in them. She took two pills out and shoved them in to John's hand. she slowly walked back to her bed and sat down-
I'll give you the report tomorrow
-
He looked at her. "Thank you," he said satcasticly and swollowed them before easing himself onto the floor. "Nice room..." he commented.
-
-Sara raised an eyebrow-
Just because you're in my room, you don't have to be nice to me. I know my room is boring and plain, but that's the way I want it, no pictures to remind me of my crappy life back home, no nothing, just blank walls to clear my head
-Sara looked away from him and to the floor at her feet, her dotty socks that her best friend gave to her-
-
"Al least its cleen... mine is a pig stye... took me three hours to find my gun so we where laite!" he said, stairing at the ceeling.
-
-Sara looked at him-
Well, that's your own fault, you should be prepared. What if the base was attacked at 3AM and your gun was lost somewhere in your room, we'd all be dead by the time you find your gun
-
He turned to look at her and grinned suddenly. "Ever shot a gun?" he asked, grinning cheekily. "Only if you are comming offworld then its an idia to have a basic knowlage..." he said, sitting up.
-
-Sara thought back to the first time she shot a gun. He father was teaching her. She got a kind of rush from it. She then remembered having to use one in a horrible situation at a hospital she worked at. She looked at John and shook her head-
Nope, can't be that hard though
-
"Well, tomorow, we'll go down and Ill show you a thing ot two," he sighed and lay dow, closing his eyes but still awake.
-
-Sara laid down on her bed, looking up at the ceiling-
What made you become a soldier, John?
-
"People... and the evil that they can do... I just want to help put a right to the world... never trusted the other races though..." he said truthfully.
-
-Sara nodded-
Seems fair to me
-
"What about you? Why'd you become a doctor? Especialy if thats not what your pairants wanted," he asked quietly.
-
-Sara thought to herself-
I wanted to help people. I was a high achiever in school, but my parents wanted me to be a cop. I didn't wanna do that, sure you help people, but it's not putting my smarts to a good use. My parents were furious when I told them, but it's what I wanted to do.
-Sara sighed. She never did understand why her parents were so annoyed about it-
-
"You did what you thought was best for..." he traised off as the base siren began to ring. John sat up. "Breach..." he said, getting to his feet.
-
-Sara sat up and looked at John-
You have to stay here and rest
-Sara stood up and walked to the door. She looked back at John-
You go out there and you might end up making your wound worse
-
"And as the ranking military officer on this base, it is my unfortuanate duty that I have no choice in being there... not to mention half of the recrutes are off world and its like you said, they are useless withous me," John said, getting up and going to the door. The radio on his belt crackled and he listened to the message.
"...controll room take... goingtowards living quaters...sucked the life out of...through the hands... all personel...weaponss...help...
John shoved it onto his belt. "I need to..." he said.
-
-Sara shook her head slowly. He couldn't go out, he'd just make his injury worse. She had a spark. She looked at him. She quickly went to her wardrobe and pulled out a gun. She looked at him-
I'm going with you
-Sara quickly slipped on some shoes and stood by him, waiting for him to show her the way-
-
John smirked. "Well, lets go then..." he said and hobbled out the room and down the coridoor. He stopped in a room and grabbed his gun and, rounding people up on the way, made his way towards the control room.
-
-Sara loaded her gun as they walked to the control room. She was ready, she hadn't fired a gun in a while, but she was sure it would be like an old friend. She continued to follow John, hoping she was ready-
-
John peared up, looking at the intruders before sinking down and giving hand signals. The men spread out without making a sound. At another signal, they began to open fire.
-
-Sara watched them open fire. They were firing a lot of bullets, but hardly hitting anything. She looked at the enemy and well hiden she waited, calming her breathing and waiting...1...2...3. She came out of hiding, controlling her fire, she shot a few rounds, hitting a lot of enemies, not stopping until she really had to. She stopped, went back in to hiding and once again controlled her breathing-
-
John backed up beside her. "Get out of here..." he ordered, standing up and shooting another fiew rounds.;
-
-Sara looked at him confused-
What? Why?
-Sara didn't understand-
-
"Get back to the infermary, there are injured on there way there..." he ordered, signaling with his hands.
-
-Sara knew there was no point arguing. The whole point of her coming down was to make sure John stayed okay...She stuffed her gun in the band of her jeans and unseen, quietly and quickly walked to the infirmary and waited, sitting up on one of the tables. She just waited, fidgetting and waiting some more-
-
John growled and shot the last of the attackers in the forehead. "Get the hurt to Dr.Fox and cleen up this mess...store those...things in the morge untill we work out what they are," he said, looking atthe fish like creatures.
-
-Sara sat there when a few people walked in. Some dragging in people who were critical and some who had minor injuries. She helped pull one of the soldiers on to the table. She ripped his shirt off to see a huge bullet wound, it looked like the bullet was lodged, but she couldn't quite see through all the blood. She tied her hair back and grabbed a pair of latex gloves. She started by injecting morphine in to his arm, to dull the pain. She then cleared the room and started to try and find the problem and help him. Half way through saving his life, she started to lose him. She started to try and resuscitate him, but all hope was lost, there was no way her was coming back. Sara sighed and wiped the sweat from her brow with her wrist-
-
John stood in the doorway behind her and sighed. Such was life these days. People died. Slowly he came over and listed the white sheet over the dead man. "Maybe you should get to bed, its half three in the morning..." he murmered.
-
-Sara shook her head-
I've still got some minor injuries to look at.
-Sara looked at herself in one of the mirrors by the sink. She looked terrible. She looked rained, tired and not in condition to check up on anyone else. She sighed-
Yeah, I guess I should
-
"Come on, tomorow you need to look at those things that atackled us, they look like humans ith scales..." John said, wandering back to her room with her.
-
-Sara nodded-
Sure, I doubt I will be able to give an exact analyasis, but I can try.
-Sara opened the door to her room and slipped her shoes off and left them by the door. She slowly walked to her bed and sat down-
-
"Whats up?" John asked, easing himself down onto his makeshift bed that they had prepared earlyer.
-
-Sara sighed as she put her legs up on to her bed-
I just don't know how I lost him...it shouldn't have happened
-Sara seemed to be hit really hard by this one death, none of the others seemed to bother her as much as this one-
-
John sat down beside her and put a conforting arm around her. "The thing did something to him... it put his hand in the blokes chest... they both where screaming..."
-
-Sara looked at him, turning her head sharply-
They both screamed you say?
-Sara thought. She didn't wait for an answer and stood up, going to her wardrobe. She started pulling book sout, flicking through them and throwing themon the floor until she found the right one. A smile appeared on her face-
-
"What have you got?" he asked, staning up and looking over her shouler, being nosey.
-
Well, this is a medical journal, only a few people have, the one I have is the original. You might have heard of scientist, his name was Doctor Pettersen, you might not. He was a genius! I had the pleasure of being his one and only student. He researched all these different things, waaaay ahead of all the other scientists. He discovered this person, who would kind of...'feed'...on people. That thing you explained is kind of like what he discovered, look
-Sara showed him the book with a huge grin on her face-
-
"Well these where definitly not people," he said, scanning over the book, pretending that he understood what it was and giving up.
-
-Sara looked at him, a small sense of smugness about her-
No that's just it you see, they could be, like mutants...it's all in here, but I'll have to conduct a full autopsy, I'll need assitance as well
-
"Well you have plenty of Doctors, I am going to find out where they came from tomorow," he said and sat don,slightly painully.
-
-Sara watched him sit with a slight sense of pain-
Before you leave, I want to check that leg first
-
He shrugged. "As long as its not a 5 hout waite... we should sleep..." he whispered.
-
-Sara nodded. She slowly set the journal on her bedside table and sat down on her bed. She laid down and looked up at her ceiling once again, letting her eyes close and sleep overcome her-
-
John climbed into his makeshift bed and fell asleep instantly, not even bothering to undress.
-
-Sara's body slowly came out of it's sleeping state. She looked at her watch. It was time to get up. She stretched and sat up. She looked down at her floor, john was still there. She put her hand on the bedside table, expecting the book to still be there. It wasn't. Sara cursed under her breath. She did put it there, she was sure. She stood up and knelt on the floor to shake John-
John, get up
-
"What?" he rolled over, pulling the pillow over his head.
-
John! The journal's gone!
-Sara looked at John. She hoped he understood the importance of that journal-
-
John frowned pulling the pillow of of his head. "What do you meen, its gone?' he asked dtedily.
-
-Sara looked at him and sighed with frustration-
As in it's gone, no longer here
-
"Why would someone take it? Why would anyone in the right mind want to take it?@ he asked, sitting up.
-
-Sara sat down on the bed in a huff-
I don't know, but when I find them, I'll hit them so hard, they'll have to glue their head back on
-
"You do realise that you will be the one that is gluing the head back on... since you are the head doctor and all..." John smirked from where he lay.
-
-Sara looked down at John with a small smile-
No need to get smart...Mr...Smarty pants!
-Sara ran her fingers through her hair and looked back at her bed side table-
-
John smirked and felt his flirtatious side comming through. "So why did you never take me up on that drink?" he asked, pulling his hands behind his head.
-
-Sara looked at John-
I told you, I was too busy with patients and paperwork, I just never had the time
-
"Yeah, you said that to Sgt. Roots... and Crp.Nash... and Lt. Stone..." he smirked. "So when do you have time?" he asked.
-
-Sara looked at him and then looked away-
I have time when I have time, okay?
-
"Well I know you have time now, so will you join me for breakfast?" he asked, sitting up.
-
-Sara sighed. She was hungry and the journal probably wasn't going anywhere. She looked at John-
Okay, sure
-Sara smiled-
-
"Good," he sat up and winced. "Ouch..." he whispered and smiled.
-
-Sara watched him wince-
Maybe I should have a look at your leg first
-
"Maybe you are right... but you are definatly going to let me buy you a drink after this," he grinned at her as he sat back down.
-
-Sara looked at him-
Fine, now let me look at your leg
-Sara sat down beside him and undid the bandage around his leg. She carefully pulled back the lint and looked at the wound. She looked at it carefully, instantly seeing why it was hurting him. She reached over to the draw on her bedside table and pulled out the small beauty kit she had. She pulled out the tweezers and carefully pulled out a bullet shard. She looked at the shard and then back at him. How did she miss that? She then slowly got up and pulled the small medical kit and bandaged it back up. She then handed him some painkillers for him to take-
Well, it seems to be heeling fine, just that small shard was putting pressure on the wound. Now take those and we can go
-
"And you wonder why you are in charge of the rabble that works in the med lab," he said and grinned, pulling himself up. "You still comming with me on the recon laiter?" he asked.
-
-Sara nodded-
Sure why not
-Sara looked at him, waiting for him to take the pain killers-
-
He raised an eye brown and swolowed them without water.
-
-Sara nodded and smiled-
Let's go get breakfast then
-
"Lets," he said, getting up and oppening the door.
-
-Sara smiled and walked out the door, making sure she locked it as they left. She galloped down the staris, a spring in her step-
-
John follwed her happily. "What are you so happy about?" he asked.
-
-Sara shrugged-
Just being out of that box room I guess
-
"You could transfer to the militery block. Now that we are settled a bit, boss is thinking about letting us move around," he commented as he hobbled beside her.
-
-Sara thought for a moment-
i don't think I could stand being around all that testosterone
-
"What? There hasnt beenI fight for a good fiew months... atleast not whilst I was there..." he frowned.
-
-Sara looked at him-
Not just that! The fact that there will be a rather...feminie woman around
-
"Who'se complaining? You wanted a bit more action? Witch reminds be, I need to stop at contol on the way..." he thought alowed, grinning.
-
-Sara looked at John with a raised eyebrow-
Fine by me
-
He laughed and pulled her in the room, anouncing that Sara was going on the recon with his team.
-
-Sara looked at John-
Did you really have to tell them?
-
"Yes incase there is a medical emergancy here, you will be offworlds deeling with whatever happens there... now breakfast!" he announced.
-
-Sara smiled-
Thought we'd never get to that bit
-
"Come on, you should know me... I like food..." he shrugged, leading her into the mess hall and grabbing a trey.
-
-Sara nodded-
True, but most people do
-Sara grabbed a tray while standing behind him-
-
John smirked and quied up, and frowned as his measly breakfast was piled on his plait. "So I get shot for this?" he asked.
-
-Sara looked at him, sarcastic sympathy covering her face-
Aw, poor John
-She looked at the breakfast put on her plate, just the usual-
-
"Thats enough from you... The reason why we go out to get blasted insted of sitting here is that we gather food and that..." he said sitting down at a table.
-
-Sara nodded-
Yeah, but it has to be ration equally, otherwise you'd get the other doctors moaning, or the scientists moaning
-
"True..." he said, picking up and begining to eat.
-
-Sara nodded-
See, I could go with out food for a few days, but that would be going back to my college days, then when I was an intern.
-Sara smiled at the thought of her college days-
-
"We have to eat cirtian amounts incase we get stranded or whatever..." he said, gestuiring with his fork.
-
Yeah, but if someone was hungrier than me, they could have my share of food. For a while, obviously, I need food after a while
-Sara stuck her fork in the food and took a bite-
-
John raised ab eye brow at her, clearly not understanding but not saying so. "So today, we'll go down to the training rooms and then set of at about midday to wherever we are going," he said with a mouthfull of bacon.
-
-Sara nodded while swallowing her bite of egg and bread. She smiled-
Okay
-
He looked at her and suddenly smirked. "Nervious?" he asked, with a cheeky grin.
-
-Sara shrugged, no emotion clear on her face-
Not really
-
"Good... Just stay ith me, follow orders and dont wander off," he smiled ather.
-
-Sara nodded-
Seems easy enough
-Sara smiled as she took another bite of her bacon-
-
"You know what, every one says that," he laughed and looked up as one of his men came and whispered in here ear. John nodded and shoed the man away.
-
-Sara looked at John-
So, what did he say?
-
"They have found the location of the hide-out from the things that atacked us... that is where we are headed..." John swallowed his last mouthfull of tea.
-
-Sara nodded as she finished off her breakfast. She swallowed with a swig of tea-
-
"Lets get you sorted," he said, slightly sarcasticly with a slight American accent.
-
-Sara listened to his voice and looked at him-
Yeah, let's
-Sara stood and awaited John-
-
He grinned and offered her his arm dramaticly, winking at her as he did.
-
-Sara shook her head with a smal smile and took his arm-
-
"What?" he asked as she shook her head, and began to lead he to the firing range.
-
-Sara grinned at John-
Nothing
-
He smiled as they enteredthe long thin room, he shoed everyone out and set up targets.
-
-Sara followed him in to the room and looked up at John-
So we starting with gun basics?
-
"Thats all we can do for leaving today- If we do not get shot, captured, tortured...You get the idia- Then I will teach you more on another day," he said and began to show her the basics.
-
-Sara watched as John showed her how to actually load and set up the gun. She knew this, but acted as if it was her first time with a gun-
-
John smiled and stood back, allowing her the free run.
-
-Sara put the gun together pretty quickly. She looked up at John and smiled. She stood up to the target range and aimed the gun, firing only when she was ready and when it would be a 'critical' shot-
-
"Not bad for a first time," he said and gently turned her sideways to the target and standing behind her. "But you are looking to hard. Relax your stance, look down your arm," he extended his arm out to hol the gun with her.
-
-Sara relaxed as she felt John touch her. She looked down her gun, ignoring John being there. She couldn't be doing this, not again. She looked down her arm and fired a few shots-
-
"Not bad," he grinned and stepped back, folding his arms. "You continue while I get a bigger toy for you," he grinned.
-
-Sara smirked-
I would like that a lot
-Sara turned back to the targets, firing more shots, each time, getting more in to her old ways, how good she was when she was actually a cop-
-
John watched her out of the corner of his eye, as he loaded up a machine gun. He smirkd. "Not bad, newbie," he teased and scooped it out of hr hand, and gave her the bigger gun. "Strap over the shoulder," he said.
-
-Sara smirked as she put the strap over her shoulder and held the gun-
Police force never would have let me use one of these
-Sara looked away from John, hoping he didn't hear what she just said. She didn't want anyone to know she was on the police force-
-
"Police? Wow," he said and stood behind her and ever so slowly, ajusted her position. When she was still not doing it right, he took a deep breath. "I need to put my arms around you to help you hold it," he said slowly.
-
-Sara nodded-
Yeah, well, I had to join the force to make my parents happy
-Sara sighed-
Apparently I enjoyed it too much, that's why I stopped, I saw what they meant and had to get away from it
-
"Well, your going to be alright," he sai, standing behind her and sliding his arms around her, holding the gun. "Ok, when you fire, the forse is going to push you back. Widen your stance and relax your shoulders," he said gently.
-
-Sara put her feet further apart and relaxed her shoulders-
Yeah, but being on the police force brought out...a stone cold killer, I don't want that to be me again
-
John let go of her slowly and let his arms fall. "What happened?" he asked after a momants pause.
-
I killed my own partner.
-Sara breathed in deeply, remembering that night-
I was so convinced he was in with this huge killer, but, I was so wrong, he was so close to cracking the case and then I bust in, guns blazing, firing at everyone I believed to be the bad guy, which included my partner, my boyfriend, the killer and his girlfriend. I just couldn't control myself, I was out of it
-Sara sighed, the pain coming back-
-
John sighed and hugged her tightly. "Im so sorry..." he said gently.
-
-Sara shrugged-
Only had myself to blame
-
"Come on, lets get this gun sorted," he said, gently helping her holdthe gun. "When your ready, pull and be prepared to fall back," he warned.
-
-Sara held the gun as best as she could and fired. As she did, the force sent her back a little bit and she fell in to John's arms-
-
"Whoa! Steady on there," he said, gently pushing her up again, grinning. "Not bad. Now I have to explain to boss why there is bulet holes in the wall," he said with a cheaky rin.
-
-Sara smiled-
Well, you could always say someone pushed you through the wall
-
"Is that a threat?" he ask, turning towards her, with a grin and a raised eye brow.
-
-Sara looked up at him, as he was a few inches taller than her-
Maybe, what if it is?
-
"Then I am going to do this," he said and grabbed hr in a firemand carry style. "Ill letyou do the expaining," he lauighd.
-
-Sara struggled but in a fun playing way-
Hey, no fair! let me down, or I'll report you for...meanness
-Sara started giggling-
-
"Report me to who? I am second in comand for goodness sake, hen boss goes galavanting," he laughed and set her don.
-
-Sara smiled, steading her feet-
I'll report you to all the other guys around here, they seem pretty...how should I put it...amazed there's women around and would do anything for them
-
John laughed loudly. "My dear Sara, half the perople around here are terified of me," he grinned.
-
-Sara smiled-
Well, you don't scare me
-Sara punched him playfully-
-
He rolled his eyes. "Come on, lets get you kitted out," he laughed and lead her to the changing room.
-
-Sara smiled and followed him to the changing room-
-
"Ok. Boots, camo trousers, top, radio, guns, medical kit... anything else?" he asked.
-
-Sara breathed in deeply and thought-
A tune sarnie
-Sara smiled braodly-
-
"Sorry, that will have to waite untill we getback," he said, pulling his boots on his feet.
-
-Sara shrugged-
Fari enough
-Sara scanned the room-
Anywhere for me to get changed?
-
"Oh yea, sorry," he said and stepped outside the room, closing the door behind himself.
-
-Sara changed in to the camo trousers and the top. She pulled on her boots and clipped her radio and gun on to her trousers. She picked up the medical kit and walked out of the room and smiled at John-
-
"Great!" he grinned. Hehad changed into his combats and was radioing the rest of the eam
-
-Sara looked down at her-
At least it a nice colour
-
"Kaki Green and vomit coloured? Ive worn better," he said with a wry grin.
-
-Sara nodded-
Yeah, but it's better than a pale yellow I had to wear during my internship
-
He smirked and gestured for her to come as he walked down to the departure room. The wormhole was already waiting.
-
-Sara followed him-
-
John looked at Sara and winked before stepping into the wormhole and stepping out on the otherside, in a large forest, in the pooring rain.
-
-Sara stepped through the wormhole after John and looked up at the sky. She sighed-
Why rain? I'm probably gonna freeze
-Sara looked down at the small t-shirt she was wearing-
-
"Stop complain... get down," John hissed, ducking into the bushes.
-
-Sara ducked down in to the bushes with John-
-
John looked at the rest of the team and gave hanmd gestures, signing to spread out.
-
-Sara held her gun at the ready and took a few steps to the right of John-
-
John frowned as somethging came through the trees towards them.
-
-Sara took a step back to steady herself on her feet and concentrated on seeing what it was-
-
It was one of the fish like creatures that had attacked then. John gave a signal or two before they opened fire.
-
-Sara breathed in deeply and aimed carefully, relaxing and firing when she needed to-
-
"Stop," John ordered suddenly, raising a hand to his men. He looked at the creature on the floor. "Two of you, take it back home and lock it up," John ordered.
-
-Sara stopped and watched the men take the creature back to the wormhole. She looked at the creature closely, almost studying it deeply without properly studying it-
-
John watched it go before looking away, descusted. "Letes find our guys and go home,@ he said loudly.
-
-Sara looked at John and then at the team. She stood up straight and looked around. She spotted a wounded guy. She jogged over to him and gave him a reassuring smile and helped him up-
-
John nodded apreciating her help and looked around sighing. "No matter where you go, mass murders always look the same," he said softly, looking past her at the bodies./
-
-Sara shooked her head-
Not always, sometimes, they give you the willies...especially when they're really satanitc rituals
-Sara looked at the guy she was helping and smiled as if she never said that-
-
"Being mown down my your own guns does..." John said, and knelt down by one of his fallen men.
-
-Sara shrugged-
Yeah, I guess
-
John gritted his hands and stood up, giving sharp orders before turning and gathering a small group. He looked at Sarah. "Go Home..." he ordered.
-
-Sara looked at him-
Why, what are you going to do?
-
"Find these creatures and kill every last one of them..." he growled.
-
-Sara looked at him-
Are you crazy?! You'll never be able to catch all of them...and what if you get killed in the process, then what happens? You just gotta take it step by step and wait
-
John suddenly grabbed her shoulders. "Dont you dare tell me what to do. My brother did that and now he is lieing in a body bag behind you," he snarled, turning away, gathering the remains of his men.
-
-Sara looked at him-
J..John. I...I'm sorry
-Sara watched him helplessly. She knew she wouldn't be able to stop him. She turned around and continued to help the guy back to the wormhole. She would just have to wait for them to return-
-
John and a small band of his men dissapered into the forest. It was a fiew hours before they returned, all of them looking dark.
-
-Sara heard them come back and went running to John-
Are you okay?
-
"Fan bloody tastic," he snapped, shoving past her and oppening a worm hole back to the city.
-
-Sara sighed. She put her head in her hands. She was doing it again, she wasn't going to get involved with anything, it almost cost her job last time. She couldn't help it. She went after him-
John...I'm here if you want to talk okay
-
John looked at her for a momant and looked at the floor. "Ive got to report who died... come with me?" he asked.
-
-Sara nodded-
Sure I will
-Sara smiled to raise his spirits-
-
He smiled weakly and took her to the brieefing with boss. He esplained what happened and got yelled at for running off but he was hardly listening.
-
-Sara stood there, not knowing what to say at all. She looked at John, he didn't really seem bothered so there wasn't much point in her saying anything-
-
"I dont leave people behind," John stood up and left the room, knocking stuff flying as he did.
-
-Sara stood up and looked apologetic towards the boss and walked out after John-
Feel better?
-
John didnt answer untill he had gone down to the shooting range and destoyed the targets.
-
-Sara looked at him after he had finished-
Are you feeling better now?
-
"A little bit..." he murmered, sitting down hevily.
-
-Sara looked at John-
Is there anything I can do?
-
"Just... leave me alone..." he said, his voice haunted by memory.
-
-Sara nodded. She quietly left, touching his shoulder compassionately as she did. She walked up to her room and sighed as she sat down-
-
John sat there for hours before headed up to his room. He lay back on his bed and fell asleep.
-
-Sara sat up, thinking. Something was going on, but she didn't know what. She still couldn't find that journal, but who would want it, and what would they want it for. Sara sighed. Questions are better to be answered over time she guessed. She slowly laid down and sighed, closing her eyes and drifting away-
-
John groaned an thrashed in his sleep, caught in the throes of a nightmare. He moaned loudly.
"Dr. Fox. Something is wrongwith Sheppered," one of the nurses said, rushing in looking alarmed.
-
-Sara opened her eyes wide and sat up. She looked at the nurse and sighed. She jumped out of bed and went to John's room with her. She opened his door and tried to gently shake him to wake him up-
-
John yelped and sat up. "Sara?" he said, looking confused and covered himself quickly, realisng he was semi naked.
-
-Sara looked at him, not caring that he was semi-naked, she'd seen it all-
Are you okay?
-
"What are you doing in my room?" he asked, looking uo at her.
-
One of the nurse's were worried...are you okay?
-Sara looked at him, kind of worried about him herself-
-
"Just a nightmare, thats all," he said, rubbing his eyes.
-
-Sara nodded. She looked at the nurse, telling her to go away, as she did she looked back at John-
Anything you want to talk about?
-
"Sara, Im fine," he stood up, dragging the blanket around his middle. He looked out on the city for a momant then looked down. "I cant tell you..." he said.
-
-Sara stood and looked at him-
You can tell me anything you want
-
"I am not alowed to tell you because there will be panic," he snapped and lent on the cill.
-
-Sara looked at John-
I don't panic...and I won't tell anyone else either
-
"There is a fleet of ships headin this way... at least two hundred... all with those life sucking things inside..." he murmered, bairly loud enough.
-
-Sara looked at him confused-
Why?
-
"To destroy us all," John spat angrily.
-
-Sara sighed. She looked at John-
Well, surely you have to tell them to get them ready for it
-
John looked at her. "Do you realy think its that easy? Back home, do you know who had to make the anouncemnet about the Geni? Me... Telling people they are going to die... sometimes its better not to know..." he looked back out the windown and rested his head against the glass.
-
-Sara looked at John-
Do you know how hard it is to tell someone they have three weeks to live? It's harder for me, I actually know the people I tell they have cancer or some other diesease, I see them whenever they have a problem, sometimes I see them on the best days of their life, and sometimes, the worse day
-Sara sat on John's bed, thinking to her self-
-
John looked at her for a momant before standing up and slamming his fist on the emergancy alarm. "Get dressed and get everyone on the mess hall..." he said to her, pulling on clothes.
-
-Sara looked at John and nodded. She stood up and went back to her room and got dressed. She hurried down the stairs and gathered everyone into the mess hall-
-
John came into the mess hall shortly after everyone else and whistled to get evrryones attention as he climbed on the table. Shlowly and rather nerviously, he explained the situation and watched as peoples faces drained of colour. He took a deep breath and continued his speach and by the end, everyone was whooping and chearing, determined to fight and win.
-
-Sara smiled at John and nodded as he came down off of the table. She looked at him-
Good speach
-
He looked a her and poked his tounge out cheekily and grabbed her hand before yelling for people to go back to bed araprt from the heads of the each professions.
-
-Sara stayed standing, after all, she was the cheif doctor. She waited for the other to leave and sat on one of the tables-
-
"Ok I know that its two in the morning, but lets just say that insperation flew into my room this morning," he chuckled and together thy began to plan.
-
-Sara smiled and started to think-
We could always like, set up a guard line
-Sara shrugged, not really knowing what to suggest-
-
John nodded, thinking. As the head of the military, it was his job to do all the planning.
-
[Is it okay if I introduce a new character?]
-Sara half smiled-
Just an idea, don't have to
-
(Yeah, go for it!)
John smirked at her, and scribbled it down on the paper.
-
[Cool, I'll put his bio on my first post if that's okay]
-Sara smiled-
I'm sure they'd use your idea, it's perfect
*Zach smiled broadly as he walked in to the light*
Hey Sara
-Sara gasped with amazment. She hadn't seen zach in so long. She ran over to him and flung her arms around him-
Zach! Hey! It's been...like...forever!
-
(Oki doki)
John looked up as Zach came in. Ittook a mommant for Zach to register, but John smild.
-
*Zach smiled at Sara*
I know. So, aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?
-Sara smiled, slightly embarassed too-
Oh yeah, right. John...this is Zach, we were interns together. Zach, this is John, one of the Major's here
-Sara smiled once again-
-
(Ohhhh I like the profile)
John smiled weakly and nodded at Zach, gesturing that they sit.
-
[hehe, thanks]
*Zach smiled and sat down on one of the chair*
-Sara sat down and looked at Zach-
So, how comes you're here?
*Zach shrugged*
They just decided to ship me out here, they didn't know if you needed mor doctors, they obviously don't 'cause you're here
-Sara smiled, blushing slightly-
Shut up you
-
"If you to dont mind," John snapped. He was trying to plan city escape routes but there talking was irratating... infact Zach was irratating.
-
-Sara wiped the smiled off her face quickly and looked at John-
Sorry
*Zach held up his hand defensively*
Yeah sorry man
-
John sighed and dissmissed them all before standing up, yawning.
-
*Zach stood up and held his hand out to Sara*
Care to catch up?
-Sara smiled and took his hand, standing up too-
Sure, why not
-She turned back to John-
I'm gonna go with Zach, so I'll...see you later
-
"Its two in the bloody morning, but fine... Role call at 8 so dont be laite," he snapped atthe pair and turned away.
-
O..Okay, night John
-Sara turned back to Zach-
*Zach shrugged*
He's a lil moody
*Zach smiled with his normal charm*
Let's go
*Zach started to run to his room holding hand with Sara*
-Sara giggled as they ran down the corridor like they used to when they lived in the apartment together. They got to his room and went inside, sitting down on his bed-
*Zach smiled and looked at Sara*
So, how's it been since I left?
-
John paced downthe coridoors, hardly aware of where he was going and found his way to his room. He colapsed on the bed, shattered and furious.
-
-Sara shrugged-
It was okay, but obviously I didn't have as much fun as we used to
*Zach smiled*
Yeah, the hospital I transfered to was rather dull with out you
-Sara smiled, shying away slightly. They continued to talk through the night, not taking any notice of the time, but also not once yawning. It was like the good old times-
-
It was about 7 when John woke up. He yawned and then remembered why he was lieing the wrong way on his bed. It took a while for him to dress and get don to the mess hall. He sat hevily and begab to eat.
-
-Sara looked at the clock on Zach's wall-
Oh my! It's already 7
*Zach smiled*
Woah, total flash back
-Sara nodded-
Shall we go to breakfast?
*Zach nodded*
I'd love to
*Zach stood up and helped Sara to her feet. He took her arm and they walked to the mess hall cheerily together*
-
John sat on his own and watched as people came and left. He saw Sarah and Zach and looked down at his food, suddeny, losing his appitite.
-
-Sara spotted John and walked over to him, still holding Zach's hand and sat down across from him with her breakfast in the other hand. She placed her tray on the table and smiled-
Moring John!
*Zach sat next to Sara, placing his tray down and smiling*
-
"Morning," he said politely to the pair, his eyes lingering on Zach for a momant.
-
*Zach smiled at Sara and nudged her*
-Sara started smiled-
Hey you
-Sara pushed him back. She then turned to John-
So, did you get a good nights sleep?
-
"No, I was battle planning all night and then I had to explain to 'boss' why I woke the entire base up in the middle of the night to tell them about there inpending doom," John said, unable to keep the sarcasm out of his voice.
-
*Zach smiled and nodded absently*
A good night all in all then
-Sara nudged Zach-
Shut up you
-Sara smiled at Zach and looked back at her breakfast-
-
John frowned, annoyed. "Love to stay and chat, but I have work to do...dont me laite," he said and stood, walking away. knocking his chair over in the process.
-
*Zach watched John leave*
I'm guessing someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed
-Sara shrugged-
He is under a lot of stress
*Zach nodded*
Yeah, but so are you Miss Fox
*Zach smiled at her*
-
John had overheard Sara defend him and smiled weakly, going to the main control room and chucked one of the computer people off while he scanned through the reports of people on the base, looking for Zachs.John was suprised when there was no record of him.
-
*Zach smiled at Sara again*
So, have you met any one?
-Sara looked at him-
Oh course I've met people
-Sara smirked-
But not in the way that you mean...have you?
*Zach shook his head*
No, just been waiting for the right girl I guess
-
John frowned and came back into the mess hall at 8 and shot a single round in the air to get peoples attention.
-
*Zach turned around and looked at John*
Guessed he wanted our attention
Shh
-Sara turned around and looked at John-
-
"Alright," he said and began to give orders to people, telling everyone what there jobs our. "And if anyone on this base is doing something that they shouldn't, he will answer to me personly," John finished.
-
*Zach looked at Sara*
Do you think that was aimed at me? John really seems like he doesn't like me
-Sara put her arm around Zach and smiled-
Aw, I'm sure he doesn't
-
"Doctor Fox, may I speek with you in private?" he asked loudly over the hubub as people milled around.
-
-Sara smiled at Zach-
See you in a minute
-Sara took her arm off of Zach and walked over to John-
Sure, what's up?
*Zach sat on one of the tables, looking around, but not at Sara and John*
-
John handed her a print out from a computer screen.
Zach Dorian: DELETED
Deleted by: ZACH DORIAN
-
-Sara looked at the print out. She looked at it closely and then back up at John-
W...well, maybe someone else deleted it...but used his name to delete it...you don't know, computers are never safe.
-Sara sighed-
Look, I've know Zach for like...ever, we went to hight school together, med school and we were at the same hospital for two years. He wouldn't do something like this
-
"Im not accusing him, I would just like to kno what is going on. First the attack, then the book goes missing about the creatures that are attacking... now this?" John said.
-
-Sara sighed-
Maybe there's a mole...Maybe we should tell Zach, they might be after him
-
John sighed, he realy didn't want to. "You have rounds to do? Send him to my room when you see him, Ill do it," John said.
-
-Sara nodded-
Yeah, okay, I will
-Sara smiled and walked out, not too sure what was going on-
*Zach saw Sara and walked up behind her*
Hey
-
John took a deep breath and sat down, sliding his hand gun out of sight of the door and waiteted.
-
-Sara turned around and looked at Zach-
Oh hey, erm...John wants to speak to you, I think he's still in the mess hall
*Zach nodded*
Oh okay, I'll see you later then
*Zach smiled. He turned around and went to the mess hall. he walked in and saw John*
Hey, Sara said you wanted to talk to me
-
John didnt answer as he put the print ount on the table.
-
*Zach picked up the print out. She read it and then looked at John*
Well, I can't explain it, I didn't delete my own file
-
"Then whe else would have your passes?" he asked cooly.
-
*Zach shrugged*
I dunno, but it must be someone with something against me, or maybe the base
-
"Ans who would have a thing against you?" John asked causiously.
-
*Zach shrugged*
I don't know...people, who don't like me, family of patients that have died, people who hold grudges, loads of people hate doctors
-
"Let me rephrase that... how many of the 200 people in this base have a grudge against you?" John asked cooly.
-
*Zach shrugged once again*
I don't know, I don't even know who's on this base, apart from you and Sara, and I know Sara doesn't hate me
*Zach tried not to smile, he had a feeling that John liked Sara*
-
John blinked and smiled suddenly. "Are you accusing me?" he asked in a deadly quiet voice.
-
*Zach shook his head*
No, of course not
*Zach smiled*
I'm just saying it's a possibility
-
"And what motave would I have, if you dont mind me asking?" John satd back, his arms folded.
-
*Zach smirked*
Oh I dunno, Sara maybe
*Zach looked up at John*
-
John smirked evily and lent foward in his chair. "Please enlighten me, since you have this all worked out," John said in a deadly voice.
-
*Zach looked at him*
Well, I know you like Sara, and it just bites at your leg that some one who she obviously has a past with and chemistry turns up and takes her away from you
*Zach looked at him, feeling rather satisfied*
-
"Nice try but we both know that the military are not alowd to get involved on a personal level," he said quielty.
-
*Zach looked at John*
So what, doctor's are advised not to get involved with each other on personal levels, but it just happens
-
"What are you saying?" John snapped, interupting Zach.
-
*Zach smiled*
Well, just before I left, me and Sara were extremely close, and it looks like we're picking up just where we left off
-
"So Im... what? Jellous?" he said with a small, knowing smiles as his hand rested on the handsgun on his lap.
-
*Zach shrugged and half smiled*
Maybe
-
John smirked and lent foward. "Get out of my sight..." he said in a soft tone that soundede deadly
-
*Zach smirked*
I'm gone
*Zach walked out and walked up the corridor*
-
John watched him go and stood up slowly.
-
*Zach caught up with Sara and tapped her on the shoulder*
-Sara spun around and looked at Zach, regulating her breathing-
Jesus! You scared me
*Zach smiled cheekily*
Sorry
-Sara looked up at him-
Maybe you could make it up to me by helping me with a patient
-Sara smiled cheekily-
-
John found himself wandering through the endless coridoors, his mind wandering. What was going on and where was Sara in it all...? He knew that Zach was, he... his throughts where interupted as the alarm sounded.
-
*Zach looked up at the ceiling*
Looks like I'll have to help you with that patient later
*Zach smiled and took Sara's hand*
-Sara felt her heart skip a beat. She walked up the corridor with Zach-
-
John was on the radio before the alarm shut off, calling everyone who could fight to get to the armory as soon as posible. He stopped by a terminal to look at the CCTV and his heart skipped a beet as he saw hundreds upon hundreds of the fish like creature pooring in.
-
*Zach looked at Sara, panic was there, but he still had his cool calm face to make Sara feel better*
You stay here, I'm gonna help them fight
-Sara looked at Zach-
You've had no training
*Zach looked at Sara*
Military school, remember?
-Sara nodded with a small smile-
I'll go back to operation room...I'll wait for you there
-Sara turned to leave-
*Zach grabbed Sara and kissed her*
I'll be there
*Zach gave a small smiled and jogged down the corridor to wards the armory*
-
John was already there, handing out orders. He looked at Zach as he entered and resisted the erge to shoot him onsite but insted threw him a builit proof vest.
-
*Zach looked at John with a small nod and put on the bullet proof vest. He picked up a gun and was ready*
-Sara walked back to the medical area. She sat on one of the sofas, worry consuming her but still with a small smile on her face-
-
"Right ladies, heres the plan. Go out, kill fishy guys, come back. Got it? Lets go," he said as they piled outside.
-
*Zach followed John and the other out. He couldn't help but to think about Sara. He shook his head and tried to concentrate*
-Sara ran her fingers through her hair. She wondered if they had gon eout yet. She stood up and started pacing-
-
The damage they had caused alrady was enermious and that was before the crossfire began. Soon John found himsleft standing along side Zach. "Alright?" he yelled.
-
*Zach glanced at John while shooting at the enemy*
Fine, what are these things?
*Zach looked back at the enemies and continued firing while concentrating fire*
-
"No idia... Sara had a therory but her book was stollen... avoid there hands, they seem to suck the life out of you," John yelled as more of his men where killed or hurt. They where seriously outnumbered.
-
*Zach smiled at the thought of Sara. He looked back at the enemy and shot a few more. He looked at John8
How the hell we gonna beat these...things? We're outnumbered by a hell of a lot
-
"We cant," John said slowly and slowly pressed the button down on the radio so that the conversation was heard throuout the base.
"I am Majour John sheaperd of Earth and I order you to leave..." John shouted and the creatures laughed.
"Prepare to die, Sheappered... one of them hissed.
-
*Zach looked at Jack. His firing became more viiolent, and as it did, he was killing a lot more of the creatures*
-
"Stop!" John ordered and looked down at what seemed to be the leader. "You kill me, and Zach will kill you..." Sheppered said quietly.
The creature laughed. "You trust everyone here dont you? The more that you trust, the more that they will tell us wat is going on... you have a trator amongst you..."
-
*Zach looked at John*
Shall we kill him now?
-
John shot the creature but as he did an energy bold came out of the creatures weapon and his John square in the chest. The creatures began to retreet.
-
*Zach wacthed the creatures retreat. He put his arm around John in a friendly way*
Are you okay?
-
"Do I bloody look ok? I have a huge burn slap in the centre o my chest," John growled, pulling away.
-
*Zach looked at John*
They're leaving, let's get you to Sara
-
"Buisy..." he went down and looked at the fallen creature and smiled as he realised it was alive. He ordered it to be locked up.
-
*Zach stood back as two of the soldiers took the creature away. He looked back at John*
John! You're hurt, get your butt to Sara
-
"Zach! Mind your own buisniuss, there are far worse hurt people here. Ill go laiter," he yelled back.
-
*Zach sighed*
Fine, I'm just tryin' to help
*Zach rolled his eyes and started to walk back to the medical room, ready to help out*
-
John glowered and made his way to where the prisonar was being heled. He waved to the guards and sat down on a chair. The creature growled and swiped at him but John sat stil. After a momant, he spoke. "I think Ill call you Steve..." he said slowly.
-
-Sara saw Zach come back and flug her arms around him-
I'm so glad you're okay...where's John?
*Zach shrugged*
Dunno, but he is fine
*Zach smiled*
Any one seriously hurt?
-Sara sighed and looked up at him confused-
It's strange, they either have minor injuries or they died
-
John looked at the creature he had named Steve. "So what are you? We cant go on calling you Fish-people," John sai sarcasticly.
"We are the Wraith," the creature hissed, smiling evily at John
-
*Zach shrugged as he looked down at her*
Well, I'm sure you'll figure this out
-Sara sighed-
I almost did have it. Them some idiot stole the journals
-
"Hows the chest? The Wraoth asked and suddenly it burnt, so painfully that John screamed an agony as fire ripped through his flesh. One of the guards tried to comfort him as the other went to fetch help. All John could think abouit was the agony and the laughs of the fish creature as Johns slowly sliped out of conciousness, and stopped breathing.
-
-Sara looked up as someone came running in and told her that John needed help. She looked at Zach and then up at the guard. She got up and started running behind. She skidded on her knees to John's side, she took his pulse and it was weak, he wasn't breathing either. She put her hand on his chest to feel his heart beat and had to take it away quickly from the burning-
-
"Poien Wraith dart... they do work wonders..." the creature laughed at her, grining. "You wont be able to save him... one week..." it hissed.
-
-Sara stood up quickly and pushed her self against the bars-
Is there a way to reverse it?
-
"The only way is to let him die..." The wraith laughed hystericly and looke down at John as he sloly came around.
-
-Sara kicked the bars in fury-
If there is a way, and you don't tell me, I will kill you, personally!
-Sara looked around and saw John waking up. She crouched down beside him-
*Zach made his way to the prison cells and stood in the doorway. He looked down at Sara and John*
-
"But why let food go to waiste? I could make it easyer and finish him off..." The ceature gigled, almost insanely.
John groand and touched his chest lightly, looking confused. He went to sit.
-
-Sara looked up at the creature-
Could say the same for you
-Sara smirked slightly as she looked back at John. She looked at him comfortingly-
-
"What? What the hell happened? Why is my chest burning?" he asked, looking up at Sara. "What are you doing here?" he asked.
-
-Sara sighed and looked at John-
The...thing shot you with a poisoned dart, you passed out and I was called.
-
"Nice to see you too..." he muttered, wincing as he moved.
-
-Sara half smiled-
Seems everytime you see me, something bad is happening to you, I guess that's the way of a doctor
*Zach looked at Sara, reassuringly, as if to say she's always got him*
-
"Well, atleast this time you arnt yelling at me for being so arrogent," he laughed and coughed violently.
-
-Sara smiled and then looked at him, concerned-
I should check that out.
-Sara stood up and offered John her hand-
-
John looked at her for a momant beore slowly taking her hand and pulling himself up.
-
-Sara put her arm around John to support him while walking, there was no way he was strong enough to walk on his own. She giggled as Zach stood in front of her playfully and she kicked him up the bum-
-
"As much as I enjoy stairg at your arse, I thing you should move before I kik it..." John growled/
-
*Zach looked back at John*
Oh, I'm sorry, it was more for Sara
*Zach smiled and walked up the corridor*
-Sara rolled her eyes-
Zach, you're so weird
*Zach turned around and started walking backwards*
Oh yes, but that's why you love me
-Sara smiled and walked along with John-
Yeah, I guess so
-
John stiffened and stopped as she said he lovd him, but that was not the reason. Well not fully. "Sara, get on the radio. Get every room searched for your book. There is a trator here and I bet he has it..." John said.
-
-Sara looked at John-
Yeah, sure
-She grabbed John's radio with her free hand. She radioed one of the other Sargents and told him to get the rooms searched. She put the radio back in John's pocket-
*Zach looked at John, then Sara, still walking backwards*
So, is that the book about those...things?
-
"Did he say what sort of posien it was?" John interuprted rudly.
-
-Sara turned to John-
Erm...he just said it was a Wraith poison
-
"Well, then I am not going to the hospital, as lovely as it is," he said and pulled himself up and away from her.
-
-Sara looked at him-
But I have to see how serious it is
-
"Well, it better be fast because I have work to do..." he said sounding irritated.
-
-Sara smiled sweetly-
I'll try and be as quick as possible
-
John steadied himself before noddidng and walking foward with porpose.
-
-Sara walked to the medical room with John, making sure he kept balance. As the reached the room she opened the door and guestered he sat down on the bed. She smiled at Zach as he stood at the door. She slowly closed it, still keeping her eyes on Zach until the door was fully shut-
-
"Zach, do me a favour mate? Go to boss and tell her that I need a squad team ready within the hout to go to P3X-474," He said and closed his eyes, lieing back.
-
*Zach nodded at John's request and smiled at Sara as she slowly shut the door. He turned around and started to walk up the corridor*
-Sara looked at John-
What are you gonna do now?
-
John didnt answer her question. "What was in that book of yours..." he asked stirnly.
-
-Sara sighed at the thought of it going missing-
Everything about these things. I didn't quite get a chance to read it all, but if I could get it back, I'm sure it would have a way to sort this out
-
"Do you trust me?" he asked suddenly, looking at her.
-
-Sara looked at John-
Of course I do, why wouldn't I?
-
"I do not trust Zach..." John suddenly winced in pain, his back arching in agony.
-
-Sara looked at John-
And why's that?
-
"Because he is nit ment to be on this bace... there is no records of him surviving the atacks on earth, and dont say that he could be from somewhere else because there is no where else. He should be dead..." John said seriously.
-
-Sara sighed and looked at John-
Maybe he got away, but he was reported dead
-
John snapped. "Got away to where? If you havn't notaced, the only survivors are the ones that are here... the planet was blown into oblivion miniuts after the last person was through..." he said rudely.
-
-Sara sighed-
Oh, John, I dunno, but he wouldn't lie to me
-
"Then I had better get an explination or I will shoot him... something is amis here, there is a trator on this base. There are codes that only allow cirtian people in this base. Thos creatures got those codes, Sara," he said.
-
-Sara looked at John sharpishly-
You will not shoot Zach, otherwise I will shoot you!
-Sara breathed in deeply-
I'm sure he's not the traitor anyway
-
John laughed at her threat. "You do that, Doctor. You do that," and he stood up.
-
-Sara looked at him-
I suggest you take it easy anyway
-Sara sat down on one of the chairs-
-
John laughed and then went to get his team read. He was briefing them when he stopped feeling his chest on fire. Rubbing his eyes he sent for Dr. Fox. "And get her in combats,"
-
-Sara looked up as two soldiers walked in, asking her to suit up for battle. She nodded and started walking towards the armoury, on the way greeted by Zach-
*Zach smiled*
Hey, were you going?
-Sara looked up at Zach-
Armoury...getting suited up to go out
*Zach looked at her*
Well, I'm going with you
*Zach followed along side Sara*
-When they reached the armoury, Sara stepped in to the small room and changed her clothes and stepped out-
-
John stood up and went to the gate room, waiting for other members of his teem to arive.
-
-Sara smiled up at Zach and took a gun for herself-
*Zach picked up a gun too and walked to the meeting point with Sara*
-
"What the hell is he doing here?" John yelled as they entered the room.
-
-Sara looked at John-
Jesus! He's just giving us a hand!
*Zach smirked at John as Sara was glaring at John. When Sara looked up at Zach he dropped his smirk and looked down at Sara*
If he doesn't want me here, it's okay
-Sara looked at Zach-
No, you stay, you have every right
-
John laughed and pointed a gun directly at Zachs forhead. "My desision actualy..." he smirked.
-
-Sara growled at John loudly and jumped at him, making him fall to the floor. As John hit the floor, Sara felt the blow of the gun against her stomach and fell on to the floor, shivering-
*Zach watched Sara fall to the floor and gasp. He fell to his knees beside her and started to put pressure on the wound*
-
John watched her fall as if it where slow motion anfore dropping beside her.
-
*Zach looked up at John*
Get me a stretcher before you cause any more problems!
-
"Incase you haddn't notaced, I didnt pull the trigure..." John growled, rather rudely.
-
*Zach looked at him*
Well, you're the one who decided to point the gun around! Now get that stretcher before Sara gives up!
*Zach looked down at Sara so worried, he never wanted her to get hurt*
-
John rolled his eyes and passed the order on, before hearing the emergancy alarm. "Take the gun," he ordered and looked down at Sara. "Sara, open your eyesm" he said gently.
-
*Zach gently slid Sara on to the stretcher and took a hold of one of the sides, guestering one of the soldiers to take the other end*
-Sara was breathing heavily, losing energy and finding it hard to do anything. She felt so cold, as she heard John's voice she slowly opened her eyes relectantly-
-
"Sara, we are under atack again... We have a stretcher but we need to get you to the medical lab... Ill go faster if you let me carry you..." he said softly, so that only she could here.
-
-Sara voice was raspy and quiet, she didn't care anymore, as long as Zach was still with her and John would go away-
Whatever
-
"Hold on..." he said and picked her up, over his shoulder. "Shoot anyone that comes to near," he ordered Zach.
-
*Zach looked at John*
Does that include you?
-Sara groaned loudly as John picked her up. She had never felt this much phsyical pain-
-
"Right now we dont have much of a choce because we have more of those things on the way..." John growled.
-
*Zach held his gun at the ready, so tempted to just shoot John, but knew he couldn't. He followed them to the medical lab, occasionally opening fire at the creatures that came near*
-
"Sara... tell me all you know about these things..." he said over his shoulder and slowly saught Sara's hand.
-
-Sara's breathing started to get deeper and slower-
I...can't...I can't...re...remember
*Zach watched John question Sara*
Leave her alone, she's getting weaker
-
"And we are overun..." he said and slammed his fist into a button on the wall. "Sara, we need to move faster... but I can put you into stasus untill its over... like a dreemless sleep..." he said and lent closer. "Im sorry..." he whispered as he lay her down in the pod.
-
*Zach looked at John*
What are you doing? I have to close the wound
-
"Do it now we all die... do this, she goes to sleep, like frozen. She wont age, bleed or lose strength. She just stops... we move, kill these things then get..." he turned and stopped, seeing that the entrance was blocked by the creatures.
-
Get what?
*Zach looked behind him and looked at the creatures*
Eaten...my these weird fish like people
*Zach lowered his gun, ready to fire*
-
"What do you want?" John asked the fish creature abd slammed the lid down over Sara, sending her imediantly into stasus.
-
*Zach glanced over his shoulder at Sara quickly and then back at the fish creatures. He never noticed, but they looked like something out of a dodgy horror movie*
-
"Have you descoverd the trator yet, Shappered?" one of then hissed and threw a book at Johns feet.
-
*Zach looked down at it. He slowly bent down and picked it up. He flicked through the pages and looked at John*
This is Sara's book, isn't it?
-
John nodded and pointed the gun directly at the forhead of the creature. "What is it you want?" he said.
-
*Zach held his gun back up and put the book in his back pocket*
-
John growled and shot the creature, and then opening fire at the others. "Get to the control room..." John shouted, backing away.
-
*Zach opened fire and started backing away. He then stopped shooting and ran off towards the control room*
-
John looked at Sara briefly, and knowing that she would be safe, ran after him.
-
*Zach kept glancing behind him every so often and firing at creatures that were too close for comfort*
-
"This city has a biological weapon that will destroy eveything in that part of the city... I just hope that she will be Safe in there..." He said, following Zach.
-
*Zach looked at John*
Now you tell me, we gotta go back for her!
-
"We go back, we die. This thing is like a poisen in the air, she isn't breathing the same air as them..." John growled.
-
*Zach looked at John and then behind him. He sighed and continued walking*
If she dies, I will kill you
-
"Get in que," John laughed back, completely unbothered by his thret.
-
*Zach rolled his eyes. He wished he could just shoot him now, he was just so annoying. Zach followed John to the control room still*
-
"Under that keybored there is a key lock," he said, kneeling next to one of his fallen comrads and pulling a keychain from his neck. "Put the key in EXACTLY when I tell you..." he said, pulling an identical one from his neck.
-
*Zach took the keycard and nodded. He stood next to the keyboard, waiting for the go ahead-
-
"Ok- Now," he said and watched as they pushed in together, "Enter the code MB7JSDA-BIO..." He ordred and sat down at the desk as a warning flasshed up.
-
*Zach typed the code just as John did and looked at him after he had done it*
Now what?
-
"Hold it..." he hissed, tapping on they keybored fast and what appeared to he a heart moniter appeared on Zach's screen. "That is Sara," he growled and went back to tapping an an immage of the room with the staatus pod came on. John watched as the room filled up with gas.
-
*Zach carefully watched Sara heart mointor, but he knew nothing could be done if she went flat line*
-
"They are dropping... her oxygion registers as clear... they are falling.... falling, oh bugger thats one of out... hay he was the one that shot Sara..." John squinted.
-
*Zach looked at John*
Who was?
-
"Him... private Lewis Stevinson... one of my on men..." John growled, furious.
-
*Zach looked at John*
Are you sure?
-
"Positoive... that boy is a pain in the back side..." he growled and then looked at Zach. "It seems I owe you an apology... for beliving that you where a trator..." he said.
-
*Zach looked at John*
You sure do...especially if Sara didn't stop you from shooting me
-
"I have the right to do what I need to protect this bace... we are that is all that is left of eart... I still find it hard to comprihend..." John said thoughtfully.
-
*Zach shrugged. He looked back at the screen*
As long as a few of us survive it'll be okay
-
"If those thing keep atacking then we wont for much longer," John looked at Zach suddenly. "Your a Doctor with army training, right?" he asked.
-
*Zach nodded*
Yeah, what about it?
-
"I need someone who will lead the secondery exploration teem. The first one has me, Sara, Dr. Hitement from physics and Dr. Jerodson. The second teem, essentialy our back up needs a new leader as the old one just got gassed. Want the job?" he asked.
-
*Zach shrugged and smiled*
Sure, count me in
-
John paused an knowing that he would end up regretting it, held out his hand to shake. "Equil?" he offered.
-
*Zach smiled and shook John's hand*
Sure
-
He sirked and stood up. "Lets go save Sara. Oh and by the way. You where right, I do like her in that was but I have no problam with you guys... just dont rub it in," he smiled and stood up.
-
*Zach smiled*
I won't, I've had a lot of guys try and attack me because of Sara
*Zach stood up and started walking towards the door*
-
"Dosn't meen I wont flurt... oh and could you explan that I didn't shoot her? I have to go offworld for a bit..." he said and grinned.
-
*Zach nodded and smiled*
Sure, that's if she makes it
*Zach sighed*
-
"
-
"I don't doubt you," John said, sprintomg out the doorway.
-
*Zach half smiled and carried on towards where Sara was*
I'll give you the results as soon as.
-
"How about I drop in a bit laiter? I have to go," John yelled over his shoulder at her.
-
*Zach nodded*
Okay, fine by me
*Zach ran off to where Sara was. He looked at her still body and prepared himself to operate on her*
-
John dissapered off sorld for a good couple of hours, sending people home who had fled and giving orders. Amazingly there was only one dead, he thought as he picked a large bunch of wild flowers absantmindedly.
-
*Zach working quickly and effeciently as Sara began to wake up. He patched the wound and bandaged it up. When Sara awoke from the morphine he smiled broadly*
-Sara slowly opened her eyes to see Zach-
Zach?
-Sara smiled weakly-
-
It was a good fiew hours before John arrived at the medical labs. Slowly he knocked on the door.
-
*Zach had explained to Sara that John hadn't shot her and that it was Louis Stevenson. Sara seemed to be in shock about who it was and Zach had no idea why. He heard a knock at the door and slowly opened it*
Ah, John, come in
*Zach moved out of the way to let John in*
-
"Hi! How is she?" he asked, seeing Sara lieing on the bed. He had washed and changed and was till carrying the bunch of snow white lillys.
-
*Zach smiled*
She's fine, but you could've asked her yourself
-Sara smiled weakly and slowly tried to sit up, giving up when she found it too painful-
Hey
-
John looked at her and smiled, sitting beside her. "Hi..." he said softly.
-
-Sara looked at him-
Zach told me it wasn't you
-
"Louis is dead anyway, but how are you feeling?" he adked slowly.
-
I'm fine, bit of pain, but it's nothing really
-Sara seemed to be more concerned about Louis-
What happened to Louis?
-
"You where hurt so we put you in the status pod and we had to leave because those things where all around us. We went up to control and we released the cities biological weapon in that room. But Louis came crashing in and got caught..." he said slowly.
-
-Sara looked at John and then Zach-
But...he wouldn't do anything like that
*Zach looked at Sara*
How do you know? You didn't even know him
-Sara sighed-
I did...He...he was my brother
-Sara looked away-
-
John looked down shocked. "Im sorry..." he said quietly and bent down to pick his ruch sac off the floor. He pulled out Sara's book slowly.
-
-Sara smiled weakly at John-
So, you found it
*Zach nodded and smiled while taking Sara's hand*
-
John nodded and put it on her bed side table. "Want a premotion?" he asked.
-
-Sara looked at John confused-
What?
-Sara suddenly realised what he had said-
Erm...yeah sure, what for?
-
"My scout teams doctor was killed in the last raid. I need the next best, with is you. Its less ward stuu and more emergancy," he offered.
-
-Sara smiled-
I'd feel more at home with that
-
"I had better be off. There is a hell of a cleen up job going on. Oh! I forgot.." He placed the lilly in her hand. "Get better soon..." he grinned.
-
-Sara smiled-
Thanks...so I'll see you later then
-
He winked. "Ill get in touch when you are better," he smiled.
-
-Sara smiled-
Yeah, okay
*Zach looked at John*
See you later
-
He waved buy and sprinted down th corior.
-
Zach smiled at Sara and sat by her bed. "Hopefully you'll be out of here soon."
Sara nodded. "Yeah, hopefully, I hate small spaces." Sara smiled weakly as she looked at the lily John had given her.
Zach looked at her. "You should sleep."
Sara looked up at Zach and smiled. "Yeah, I am feeling a bit tired, but, stay here."
Zach nodded. "Of course." Zach smiled as he watched Sara fall to sleep. He held her hand tightly as she slept. A few hours had passed and he smiled as he watched her slowly wake up.
Sara looked up at Zach. "How long have I been asleep for?"
Zach smiled. "A while."
