Zelenka could keep his feet easily enough, hanging on to the edge of the console.The cameras fogged, vapor streaming past. A high cloud layer? Possibly. Probably. All systems were still green. The ZPMs’ power level was ticking downward, but not quickly. Fifteen per cent…fourteen per cent.Thrusters fired again, tilting the city slightly, increasing the drag. The shield pulled more power to compensate. And the city slowed.Ice. The cameras showed ice below, thousands of feet down to the north polar ice cap. They were wrapping around the world in a high polar sweep, bleeding speed as they went. Ice. Nothing but ice. Surely they would start seeing water now. He didn’t know how high they were. It all looked the same, sixty thousand feet or thirty thousand.“You need to course correct,” Rodney said.Mountains. Glaciated mountains. The planet’s largest landmass was embedded beneath the polar ice cap. Dark peaks streaked with snow. Surely they were too low. Surely… less

Nobody lives there, but somebody dialed New Athos three times.” He took a gulp of his water. “Where’d they come from? If nobody lives there and they dialed New Athos three times, but nowhere else, those are our guys.”“I don’t see…” Woolsey began.“They came from a hive ship,” Teyla put in. “It is the logical conclusion. The ship remained in orbit around an uninhabited world while the Darts attacked New Athos. Once they had what they sought they returned through the gate and rejoined the hive ship. They did not dial anywhere else, and they are not still there.”“Three times?”Teyla nodded. “Once to scout, once to send the message that lured us to New Athos, and once to seize… their prize.” She could not quite bring herself to say, ‘to seize Rodney.’ That was too raw.John sat up straight, his eyes meeting Woolsey’s down the table. “If we get a jumper and go back…”Woolsey frowned. “What will that give you?”Radek glanced from one to the other, addressing himself to John rather than Woolsey. “The hive ship has certainly opened a hyperspace window. We did not detect them in orbit and they have had three days to go anywhere they wish. I do not think there is more information we can gain on M40-P36.”John’s hands opened and closed in frustration. “We have to,” he began tiredly.“We have to find another means of intelligence,” Woolsey said. “Rodney…”“We will find Dr. McKay,” Woolsey said. “But if there’s no more information to be had this way, we need to find another way.” less

Anything that wasn't caught in the nets would make for the protection of the water—"They're going to be waiting at the river," Ronon said, catching up to Daniel. He sounded as though this were no more than an easy jog."I know," John called from behind him. "But they don't look like great swimmers, so when we get there, everybody into the water.""We're going to have to go through these guys," Ronon said."We’ve just met an entirely new intelligent species, and we’re about to make first contact by shooting them," Daniel said."You got a better idea?""Try warning shots," John said. "And, yes, Rodney, I remember why that’s a bad idea, but we're heading straight for the river.""I'm just saying the two things I didn't want in my day were dinosaurs and fire!" Rodney said, unslinging his own P-90 and cradling it as he ran."They're not dinosaurs, McKay.""Birds are essentially dinosaurs, any paleontologist—"Ronon grabbed the back of Rodney's jacket, thrusting him forward faster.
