Cassandra slowly opened up her eyes and looked at the clock as her alarm had gone off, it felt weird waking up in a completely different alien city, in a completely different galaxy. She never thought of actually thinking that things like a StarGate actually existed, as she got up she grabbed her ear piece and got up from her bed. She walked over to the wardrobe that was in the room, wondering who had actually owned it before her, or who lived in her current room anyway. Cassandra slipped on her shirt as well as her pants, adjusting the UK patch that was on her shoulder. She looked at herself in the mirror she didn't really bother trying to fix up her hair to much, Cassandra ran her finger over the door mechanism that opened it.

She left her room behind seeing the men and women of the Atlantis Expedition going about their duties exploring the city, and what not they had just been there for a few days now. Cassandra walked down the hallways and made her way to what they had made the mess hall for the people. Cassandra quickly went over and grabbed herself a tray and got in line with the others who were getting their breakfast, she looked around. Before finding an empty corner of the room and sat down leaning back in the chair slightly as she quickly started to dig into her first meal of the day.

So many things were different, but somehow everything was still exactly the same, even after going all the way to another galaxy. Still bad aliens, undeveloped worlds, civilizations looking out for themselves blinded by arrogance and greed. The only good thing about this was Atlantis. It was the one thing that could fix everything. It was the only thing that tore her away from the shadows of the past and the fact that there were no goa'ulds here. Granted the wraiths were a whole different kind scary...

It's been a few days they've been in Atlantis now, most of the commotion around the rising from the bottom of the ocean had passed. Guard duties were distributed along all military personnel and Clarice woke up from her nice rest after near 18 hours of guard duty. Some outworld teams have already been appointed and interestingly enough for Clarice, she was assigned to lead one of those. Because of the limited people they had, she currently only had 2 people assigned to her, a scientist and another soldier. She could work with that. They even had their first mission in a few hours.

As she left the bed, her eyes glanced across the big wooden looking box that was placed on a nearby table. She was allowed to bring that by SGC, she still wasn't too keen on opening it. It held a lot of bad memories that still haunted her every sleeping moment.

After moving to the bathroom and getting a quick shower, washing teeth and so on, she dressed up in her usual clothing and left the room. Her quarters had quite the nice view over the city. She loved looking at the sights. The moment she stepped outside, people nearly collided with her, they were sure moving to their duties. At the end of the day, this place was good after all. With a smile she headed over to the Mess Hall to have a breakfast before their mission.

Entering the place she quickly moved to grab a tray with food and a glass of water, her eyes glancing to see of empty seats she could use. She noticed a certain familiar face from the files she read last night before going to sleep. It was Cassandra Reed, her scientist. She quickly walked over, the notification for the upcoming assignment to a team should have been delivered by now, but usually they didn't completely introduce everyone until the briefing for the mission. It was up for the team leaders to arrange the rest.

“Hey, is that seat free?” She asked, pointing at the chair n the other side of the table.” You are Cassandra Reed, right? Seems like we will be working together from now on.” She said with a smile.

As Cassandra sat there she brought up her portable datapad that she carried around pretty much everywhere she went, she started to look over some projects and stuff that has been catalogued so far by the teams still exploring the city. While occasionally eating some of her breakfast, she closed her eyes as she started to enjoy her meal and leaned back as she continued to read the reports. For a moment Cassandra started to wonder about her younger sister, she knew that she was being watched over by her other relatives in the states by her cousin. She started to then go over who she was assigned to the next outgoing team for a trip through the gate.

She jumped slightly when she heard a voice and looked up seeing that it was Clarice, she remembered bumping into her once back at the SGC when they were about to leave once. Cassandra remembered going over the team file and that she would be working under Clarice, she smiled and gave the woman a friendly smile and nod. "That would be me, and feel free." Cassandra said her British accent coming through somewhat despite her time in the states that never changed as she pushed out a chair for Clarice to sit down in the seat. "So any idea what the plan is for today?" She asked.

Clarice smiled as she was given green light to take seat and quickly obliged, sitting on the seat opposite to Cassandra. It was a nice thing to see her future teammate was rather friendly and the British accent gave her a very adorable feel. It's not that she had not met people from Britain in her time, she had, but this woman was from now on going to be around her a lot. The feeling of her voice was nice, it seemed she lucked out with people assignments. For now they were going to be 3 people team, since there was a shortage of personnel and people were needed to secure the city, before they can redirect more manpower towards offworld missions.

“Nice to meet you, Cassandra. My name's Clarice Rosefort.” She introduced herself, reaching an arm for a handshack across the table. The Mess Hall was still filled with people and discussions could be heard about technology theories, discoveries and all manner of other random subjects. All the scientists sure were having a fieldday since they arrived, Clarice's immediate attention was more focused on the wraiths though...

“Well yeah, I already received all the briefing for today's mission. I was going to explain everything later at the official briefing, but might as well tell you now.” Clarice smiled and took a few mouthfuls of meal before swallowing it and smiling.” We are being dispatched to P3X – 514. It's a small planet with orbital stargate so we are taking a jumper. Our task will be a wraith cruiser that has just landed on the planet. Intel suggests it's severely damaged, so we shouldn't have much difficulty getting to it and do our job. Primary target is any data we can steal, secondary is to find what damaged the ship.”

Cassandra leaned forward and then forked some more food onto her fork and took another bite out of it, she hadn't gotten into one of those jumpers yet, which would be pretty interesting. Before going to Atlantis she knew she had the gene when she was tested when she first joined, but had no real experience touching Ancient technology yet. As Clarice explained the mission some more, and where they would be going to the planet with a space gate. She didn't really get why they started just assigning numbers to planets, they should just give the planet a cool name that they would be traveling to.

"Seems like it will be pretty interesting then." Cassandra smiled brightly as she started to get excited for going on her first actual mission through the gate. She didn't have a chance on actually meeting any Wraith yet, but she did read some of the reports that came from other off world teams. "Sooo when are we going to leave, and i'm assuming we will have another team member with us for this little expedition right?" Cassandra asked giving Clarice a soft and friendly smile.

"If you count the danger of being turned into a dry husk interesting, then yes." Clarice replied with mild displeased voice. She knew she was assigned a newbie for the lack of better word in this case." Listen despite the fact the cruiser's going to be heavily damaged and we can expect way fewer crew than usual, it's still dangerous so it's not a joy trip." She stated with serious voice, to indicate that the danger was real." Let's do this well and this will be just hte first of many missions we will have, Cassandra." She stated finally with friendly voice again.

"Yeah, we will have a third member for this mission thought it's not decided if he will be a permanent one for the moment. It will be another soldier, Rush Anderson." Clarice stated with a smile." You will see him soon enough. After we finish our meal here, we might as well go to the armory and start suiting up. He will be waiting for us at the jumperbay." The soldier explained with a smile.

Cassandra started eating more of the food while listening to Clarice as she spoke about the dangers of the mission, she nodded ever so slightly. She had read the reports from other teams that had encountered the Wraith, she cringed ever so slightly at the thought of the aliens getting a hand on her and draining her life for food. "I'll just follow your lead." Cassandra said giving the woman a soft smile as she chugged down the rest of her water and then finished up eating the rest of her food. She was pretty eager to go out and explore the new galaxy and find out the wonders of this place as well.

"Shall we get suited up then?" Cassandra said giving Clarice a soft smile as she started to head out of the mess hall and headed down the hallway towards where they had the armory set up. She looked around seeing the weapons that they had brought with them from Earth, she never fired a gun before which was something she never thought she would end up doing. Cassandra then started making her way over grabbing a vest as well as a holster and her backpack, slipping her tablet into the pack.

Rapidly finishing up her meal, Clarice smiled as her new squadmate asked if they should get going and suit up." Of course!" She stated and drank the rest of her glass of water in one go, before stood up from her seat and also head towards the armory a mere minute after Cassandra. She quickly entered and started to suit up from the uniform to hte armored vest and the load bearing harness. She quickly also took a P90 with 3 clips and some grenades attatching them to the appropriate locks and positions on the harness. She then took a backpack loaded with good ammount of C4 since after all they were required to blow up that ship in the end.

Moments later their third member also arrived. Rush Anderson was a old time military, he was a some years older than Clarice, but never really rose through the ranks, mostly from his own choice. He prefered to be as far away from the insanity called politics as possible." Alright, you all are suited up, time to get going. Rush I assume you recieved the briefing?" Clarice asked and hte man nodded with friendly smile, before turning to Cassandra.

"Nice to meet you, miss Cassandra." He greeted the scientist with a smile as they were heading to the jumper bay.

Clarice rushed a little ahead to get the jumper activated and she closed the rear hatch the moment her two teammates were on board." Alright you two, take a seat, Cassandra with me out front. I will need your input from the scanner readings when we arrive." Clarice stated as the jumper started moving.

"Atlantis control, this is Jumper 03, I request permission to depart." The soldier stated as the permission was given and she quickly started to dial out. After the wishes for good luck from the Atlantis control, the jumper flew into the stargate.

Cassandra reached to grab a bertta as well as a P90 as well, her attention then turned to look over at the elderly looking marine that would also be apart of their little three man team. She would reach out to shake the man's hand and gave him a friendly smile and nod, so far he seemed to be a pretty nice guy. "Nice to meet you Rush." Cassandra said with a friendly smile as she grabbed three clips for each of her weapons.

She then started to follow shortly behind Clarice as they started to make their way towards the jumper bay, Cassandra looked up at each of the little ships that could easily fit within the Star Gate. Cassandra did spend a little bit of time looking into the controls and did a little flight test a few days ago, though she wasn't as proficient as some of the other members who either had the gene or went through the gene therapy.

Cassandra nodded at Clarice as she walked through the troop bay of the Puddle Jumper and made her way towards the cockpit, taking up the co pilot's seat. Then they left the jumper bay and flew through the city for a moment until they made it to the control room as well as the gate room. Cassandra let Clarice punch in the gate address, and they quickly went through a second later they were out in space Cassandra looked out of the window amazed at the sight of it all. She shook her head and quickly brought up the scans of the surrounding area, and the planets surface. "Picking up a very small faint energy signal." Cassandra said as she then brought up where it was coming from showing the Wraith ship.

"First time in space?" Clarice asked at the look of amazement on Cassandra's face. It wasn't unusual as most scientists didn't really serve on a spaceship before being signed for Atlantis. Earth's space cruisers were very few and still being build. Clarice herself was part of hte original sg teams and had piloted both goa'uld vessels in space on occasions and X-302s. All vine vessels though she had mostly bad memories of her time on the goa'uld ones... That past still haunted her to this day, may have been one of hte reasons she joined the Atlantis expedition so fast, she jsut wished to get away from the Milky Way." Don't worry, it just gets more interesting from this point!" She stated and quickly turned on the cloak, heading for the location of the landed wraith cruiser.

"It appears to indeed have been caught in a battle, but with whom?" The soldier asked as she got closer and closer, noting the extensive hull damage and the lack of any escorts." Okey I will go for landing on a isolated area of the cruiser where we should gain entrance with minimal resistance if any. Cassandra, make haste in scanning for any points of interest that give of signals, Rush, you will guard the jumper and secure our escape route." She quickly gave the orders as the cloaked jumper landed near a very back up seemingly entranceway into the cruiser. Hell it appeared to not even be part of hte original design, but just a big hole leading into one of the halls. Her lifesigns detector didn't give off any signals either.

"You have anything?" She asked Cassandra with a smile, making a hand gesture for them to head out.

Cassandra turned her attention towards Clarice and gave her a slight nod, it was still an amazing sight to see and never thought she would actually be able to go into space. "Yeah this is my first time." She said softly as she rubbed the back of her neck for a moment, as the Puddle Jumper moved down through the atmosphere and onto the surface of the planet. Then she saw the crash Wraith Cruiser she was amazed by the size of the ship itself.

"Most likely by the Ancients, they did rule this galaxy for awhile before fleeing to Earth all those years ago." Cassandra said as the Jumper cloaked as they got closer, and eventually they landed in front of the entrance of the ship. She grabbed her gear and made sure that she had everything secured following behind Clarice as they left the Jumper, Cassandra took out the life signs detector. Cassandra shook her head slowly looking over at her commanding officer. "Nope, just that energy signature that's about it."

"Doubt it..." Clarice stated, when Cassandra brought up the ancients. She frowned as they were in the opening in the ship. She ran a hand across teh melted edges of the breach and sighed, pulling her weapon up and ready to fire,e signs detector in her one hand also." Look how it's melted... drone weapons do not cause this type of damage. I've seen what drones do to structures and to ships. I was there w while holding the lifhen general O'neill used the ancient outpost. These are not drone weapons damage. Drone weapons wouldn't leave the ship in this good of a state. This looks like energy blast marks." She stated, pulling a fractured small piece from the ground and tossing it to Cassandra." Here, bag this." Clarice stated as she led the two of them inside.

"Also it's nowhere near 10k years old. The ship would have been completely burried by the passage of time, this is newer, be careful." She stated, not trusting the fact there were no life signs." I remember Major Sheppard's report stating the wraiths in their stasis pods or whatever do not show up on the sensors. Be careful."

"Wait... The life detector shows a life sign." Clarice stated, suddenly seing the glowing dot." Hmmm... We need to pull some layouts nexttime. This will get tricky to navigate."

Cassandra looked at Clarice as she followed her over to a damaged wall caused by some energy weapon of some kind as Cassandra took out the scanner moving it over the melted metal, shrugging slightly she would have to look more into it when they get back to Atlantis."That's true, they cause more of a big hole rather then something melted." She said softly as Cassandra looked over at the scanner as she started to get a life sign as well. "Or it could be a prisoner on the ship, they do tend to keep people in pods or in cells for later meals." She said shuddering slightly at the thought of getting eaten or drained by one of them.

She caught the melted piece of metal that Clarice tossed to her, moving her pack around slightly Cassandra slipped it into her pack to look into it later. Cassandra continued to follow directly behind Clarice deeper into the ship as she looked down following the sound of the scanner as they started to get closer to it.

"If we can find a console of some kind I could possibly get some specs off of the ship to find more info." Cassandra suggested as she looked around the dark creepy foggy interior of the ship getting a creeped out vibe coming from the ship they certainly had a really creepy feel to their ships.

“If it's a prisoner, we might as well save them. They could provide useful information about where this ship has been when they got caught.” Clarice agreed, starting to slowly navigate across the ship, keeping her rifle aimed and the life detector in view by the barrel. She was trained soldier so she was going to use every edge she's got. In fact she almost wished those techs that existed in those computer games were real, like radars that just appear on the corner of your vision, how much that would safe her... Sadly this was real life and those were not around. Maybe with what they learn from Atlantis, they could build something like that. It's not like they lacked the vague reach of the technology to build them, but the fact was that they probably wouldn't be able to interface the life detectors with any of their displays anytime soon. Still the idea of a eye lenses with scanner function was so tempting.

“Too dangerous for the moment. We don't know if it won't set off some kind of alarm or defense system, we will try on the way back...” She replied, leading the way. The thought of having schematics for future missions was great, but maybe on their way back when they had secured the person this life sign belonged to... if it wasn't a wraith that is. The detector didn't show species so it was anyone's guess.

“We are getting close.” Clarice stated and looked at the detector. They were by a door that was firmly shut.” Where was it...” She mumbled, looking for the control panel before finding it. As expected it was organic as everything on these damned ships. “Well...” She said and pulled a knife stabbing it hard into the control panel a few times before it opened. Entering with her gun first they found themselves in a lab of some kind... or was a surgical room? Didn't matter much right at this moment, what was of importance was the human who was tied in this device the wraith used to keep people they fed on. If they freed her, it was possible it would set the alarm, so they needed information first.

“Hey, can you hear me?” Claice called a few times, before softly slapping the woman a few times to wake her up faster and then quickly put a hand on her mouth in case the other screamed or tried something like biting in panic.” Hear me... if you want to escape this place nod twice and I will remove my hand... Any screaming may cause an alarm or something so unless you want to be left here, you'd better not scream.”

"Well if the ship doesn't disappear maybe we can get some time to dissect the ship further once we learn and find out more information on their tech would probably be the best." Cassandra suggested as they walked further into the bowels of the cruiser, holding out the life signs detector out before her. She watched as the pinging started to get louder and louder until they were right in front of a door, Cassandra looked down at the door as she looked at the panel seeing the thing looking like it was completely organic. As far as she knew about Wraith tech was that everything that they used technology wise was made out of some kind of organic matter.

To her it was something that was pretty fascinating, Cassandra watched as Clarice took out her knife and stabbed into it a few times, though she was pretty sure that doing that wasn't the smartest thing to do. An alarm could have gone off if they were trying to get into a more secure system then a simple door.

Once they were in Cassandra looked around what looked to be some form of operating room, seeing various looking tools, that looked like were used for some kind of surgery. Cassandra explored the room for a little bit as Clarice approached the rooms only inhabitant, as Clarice tried to wake up the woman in the feeding holder thing. The woman slowly started to come to, before letting out a muffled scream when Clarice quickly put her hand over her mouth, looking around with a terrified look on her face. As Clarice spoke to her she quickly gave two nods, she didn't want to be there any longer then she needed to be knowing exactly what would happen when they came back to put the tracker inside her.

"Good..." Clarice said." I will now remove my hand." She added, slowly moving it away from the woman's mouth and throwing a look at Cassandra." Quickly study the mechanism of this thing..." Clarice ordered, returning her attention to the woman in the cacoon thing." We will get you out in a few moments, just don't panic." The soldier asked, constantly checking the portable scanner for any possible wraiths that may show up while they are freeing the woman." I think there was something about that panel over there..." She eventually remembered and pointed Cassandra at it." They had similar thing back where the wraiths first took our guys." She added, hoping the scientist will get her job done faster." It seems you are in luck that we came. I don't imagine they kept you here for a nice reason. What's your name? Mine's Clarice." She introduced herself, throwing a look at the scanner once more.

Suddenly a single dot appeared on the scanner and her eyes right awya focused on it, but she couldn't hear steps." This place's not abandoned. Cassandra, work faster. It seems the wraith's on different floor, but who knows for how long."

"Rush, wraith presence confirmed, still under rader though. We've found a captured human, will release her and come out right away. Prepare for emergency extraction." She quickly gave orders via the radio and threw a look at the prisoner." You any good with a gun?" It was a slim shot since most people didn't seem to know guns in this galaxy by the looks of it, but who knew.

As Cassandra scanned the woman in the cocoon as well, her vitals seem to be stable the woman seemed to be alert while Clarice told her about a console nearby she nodded. "On it." Cassandra said as she turned around and started to make her way over towards the control console that was in the center of the room. She took out her combat knife wincing slightly in as she cut into the weird organic material and started to hook her tablet up to it. Cassandra started to try and decrypt the information that was on there, and started to press random buttons on the tablet.

The woman slowly turned her attention towards Clarice as she asked for information about her, and nodded she knew how to handle weapons of all kinds. "It's Kara, and I know how to handle a gun." She said, looking over at the woman on the other end of the room. "Got it!" Cassandra said proud of herself as the power to the room shut down, releasing Kara. She stumbled slightly and dropped down onto her knees, she had been fed on only once but that had weakened her.

"You look fine considering..." Clarice mumbled seeing the woman freed from her confines as she helped her up." Alright Kara, here take this one and just come along. Time to leave this, a power outage like this will surely cause some alarms to go off soon if htey don't know already. Luckily most of the ship's disabled so hopefully we've got some time." She explained as she quickly handed over her pistol." It has 17 shots, aim for the head." She stated as she raised her P90." Cassandra behind us." She ordere as she gestured with her right hand to start advancing, quickly starting the treck back towards the jumper and just in time as they reached another floor when the alarms went off. Luckily no wraith seemed in sight all the way until they neared the jumper when a pair of wraiths appeared on one of the side corridors, starting to fire at them right away! She barely reacted in time, having just notice them pop up on the radar. Must have just woken up from some pods of some kind.

"Cassandra, Kara, GO! I will cover you!" Clarice roared, starting a covering fire, causing the wraiths to stop firing for a moment." RUSH, START THE ENGINES!"
