With General Czaski’s status of MIA, left her in charge of all these people, yet she wasn’t ready to take such steps. How was she able to lead these people, when she had no actual experience in doing so? For a brief moment she wished that she had been back on Delta and gave whole problem for Frank and Troy to deal with, but they weren’t here to give her guidance and such. Even Jerry wasn’t here to ask or Vanessa to talk to.

Pooja knew her leadership was likely to get them killed or worse have them stuck here for eternity. Latter wasn’t far from their current situation. Sighing she looked at the crew, “Anyone got bright ideas? Because I’m drawing blanks.” She still was reeling with the shift in Chains of Command. Plus trying to get an understand how in the hell did one simple trip to Atlantis had the crew stuck in an unknown galaxy.

Having his scratches and burns patched up, Smite was having mental problems which they didn't seem to have a doctor for aboard. "I shouldn't stayed...I should have stayed with him. It should have been me" he kept saying, then a nurse, a friend of his just slapped his across face. "Listen to yourself! Feeling sorry for yourself, feeling like you could have prevented what happened. He knew, just like the rest of us, what the consequences would be, he took his chances! Without him, you or any of us may not be here now. Get a grip, Captain. Don't go blaming yourself for what was inevitable. Instead, fight back and don't let his sacrifice go in vain." said the man. Smite knew he was right and with it, he went to the briefing room despite all his wounds that was not yet patched.

Entering the room his civilian personal ask what to do. While everyone else were just looking at each other, the young man arguing with Bates, and Law being in the situation of the CO of the ship herself. Smite just moved forward and suggested, "We got most of the people off that ship, maybe they could help us a bit" the young man asked, "Like what exactly? we don't even know where we are, for all we know, we could be thousands of light years from where were supposed to be. Smite looked at him, and then everyone looked at Smite. "Well maybe we could get a star chart, as you called it, from them and try to integrate it into our navi." he responded. But the doctor had to put him down with flaws with his idea. Sitting down becoming irritated, he responded saying "Okay, Doctor Bates. You have a better idea then, should we fly blind here and work on other system you deem worthy of fixing? Seriously, should we not have navigation and jump into hyperspace blindly?! If you got a better idea, doctor, say it now so we can all hear it!" he said trying to reason with the one stubborned man who only care about being isolated in an enclosed room and work on all the systems all the time.

Briefing Room

Nek was sitting across from Simon, arguing about what systems they needed to get up first. "If we get attacked again, we're going to need to be able to flee somewhere without worry about were we are jumping out towards." Before he could continue, the lady by the name of Doctor Garcia interrupted everyone in the room by asking if any of them had any ideas. No one spoke up, but he knowing Simon would know that the doctor was thinking about fixing the ship, and having a list of system that needed to be fix by priority. Of course before anyone else could speak up, the captain spoke up with an idea involving the people they don't even know about. "Like what exactly? We don't even know where we are, for all we know, we could be thousands of light years from where were supposed to be," Nek pointed out only to be shot down by the captain who again suggested the help of the people that no one knows if we should trust yet. Then he heard his friend speak up and with a point of aggression to send the message that the 'captain' doesn't know what he's talking about. That's when things got carry away and got to a point of two grown man fighting among each other. "Hey!" he yelled with no success. "HEY!" he yelled louder with the same result as the last. He then stood up on his chair, put four fingers in his mouth and blew as hard as he could to give out a whistle loud enough to break the yell off and startled some of the others. He then looked at them turning his head to look at the two, one at a time. "Would you two listen to yourselves. You're both acting like what MY ancestors did before they split up into two. We can't fight amongst each other, we got enough problems as it is right now. We got no idea where we are. We have refugees that we can't even be sure that we can trust them yet, and we got another kind of people trying to kill us. Not sure if any of you have noticed, but it seems we got involved in a Ancient-Ori like war that we're not even prepare to defend ourselves against, plus we already lost a couple of people including the General that was supervising the whole WHD project, and we don't know if they're even alive. Also, I should note that I just found out about an IOA agent begin onboard, one of which has been on mine arse since the Neverland Expedition." he lectured trying to knock civilized behavior back into them.

"QUITE !" Marah yelled at the fighting factions in the briefing room, she stood up from her seat and started to pace around the room. "Okay now listen, ALL OF YOU. We have guest on our boat that have told me that where we are headed now we can recieve help. That means a funtional ship and maybe even a gate address or star map to help us back home. That is what thier new leader Commander Ren'ys has informed me that our reward will be when we get there. That mean that we may be able to get home. Tech Nek, Doctor Bates. Our guests are whilling to share some technology with us in thanks. I will leave you two in charge of that, also check out those craft they brought in. They look handy. Okay now we all have some time to spend and I'm sure none of you want to be here. Go get some rest all of you. Dismissed" she said as they all sterted to file out, Marah turned as the last began to leave. "Pooja, please stay" she said to her. As the door closed behind them she sighed and started to shake her head. "I'm so sorry pooja. I never ment for this to happen" she started.

The De Briefing had settled nothing but william had seen that Colonel Law had stopped the internal fighting just before it peaked. Now with some R and R he decided to go to his room. William settled down in his room, nothing but a singlette and a pair of shorts. He hit the play button as Linkin Park began to play on his ipod and it's speacker dock. William smiled as he layed down on his bunk and slowly he begun to fall asleep, the last few hours had taken alot out of everyone and he was sure he wasn't the only exhusted one. Pretty soon he was fast asleep.

As the fight that escalated into a war of words, Pooja was nearly going to snap due to the strain and stress, currently her temper was shorter than she realised. Controling her loss of cool had never been one of her strongest skills if she was pushed beyond the limit, but luckily for her Law had taken the steps to ensure the verbal arugment was brought to stop. If she - herself - was unable to stop this, then she was in no place to take charge of the what she now considered as an unplanned expedition in an unknown galaxy.

Gald for the dismissal, she rose to her feet, when Marah requested for her to stay back. Sitting back down when she knew she had little choice in the matter, given they both were the highest ranking members of this little ship. She listened without a word as Marah talked, while she had placed her fisted hands to her lips and elbows on the table. Closing her eyes she nodded, "I know." she told her friend softly then took a moment to push aside her thought of her family that was back on Earth. "I know it wasn't planned. We are just going to have to improvise from here the best we can."

Opening her eyes she looked at the Colonel, "If we have learnt anything during our time with Delta; we know what to expect out there. Every galaxy has it's own dangers, we just have to find this ones."

Geting to her feet she looked out at the starfield, in an odd way serching for Earth's direction, "We just have to survive here...somehow." turning her back to the endless space, "I know next to nothing about leading. I don't get it how Frank and Troy did it. Especially Frank. He just made it look so damn easy." Now that she needed the man's guidance, he wasn't around. It wasn't like she could make a quick call to the former General and ask him about it.

Given there orders Nek and Simon both left the room. "I'll go take a quick look at those crafts thoes people brought in, never know if we're being tracked, right?" he stated as he started working around the damaged portions of the ship.

Hanger Bay Deck

After twenty minutes of manuvering around the ship he finally arrived at the deck which contained the hangers. He decided to look at the bay where most of the crafts the refugees brought were at. Pointing at all the crafts just listing what they were, it came to much surprise that some of the gateship he saw weren't really Gateships nor Ancient in design for that matter. "Whoa, these people were able to build a craft small enough to act like a Jumper? Smart people...well that we've came across so far." he said as he looked around it. It was then he noticed some differences, like the length of the whole craft was a bit smaller than that of a Gateship. There's no actual signs of where engines or weapons would be located, and the enterence to it looks a bit smaller where someone would have to step in sideways to get in. He then heard a voice behind him, a voice that he never heard before.

Marah watched Pooja get up and look out the view port out into space. She listened to her worries and smiled. "Pooja, you remember when Jerry and I told you we pulled strings to get you here, It wasn't just because your my friend. We both saw the natrual talent there, just hidden and scared to surface" she said approuching the view port as well. "We will survive untill we get home, We have already shown this Prince we can hurt him more than these Aramanthian People. I think we can manage it" she said smiling, then looked intently out the port, "I think things will start looking up for us from now on, Anyway it can't get much worse" she said smiling.

Erina was standing next to her fighter as she saw someone else enter the Hanger and began looking around thier ships. She smiled and thought That didn't take long, as she walked over to help him. She had offered any tech they had on board thier ship but was surprised at how soon they came. "It's called Heaven's Gate, well thats what your translation would be. They are sort of troop transports or shuttles. Those there are Angel Fire our Fighter crafts. I'm Commander Re'syi, but you can call me Erina" she said to the man.

Khan so far had been trying to get back home his people had been rebuilding ever since the wraith attack and with the disappearance of his long time friend Colonel Johnson, Khan felt that he shouldn’t be on Neverland anymore and thus he had told his people that he would be coming home. Khan had become an officer as well something that he didn’t think would ever happen Kari his sister was pleased with him. Now Khan had heard that their lost somewhere with nowhere to return, great Khan thought gone through one thing to another. Taking a small flask from his pocket Khan remained in the cargo hold he took a couple of sips from it before looking at the cold floor. Without Andrew there wasn’t really anyone to control him, Khan respected the man more than anything and he was going to gather up a small task force to search for the man. For now Khan was stuck on this ship drinking, he had stolen his flask from Captain Katrina Logan straight after he returned from the planet. Khan didn't bother going to the briefing room he didn't see the point. Khan swung his pistol around his finger while he continued to drink from his flask.

She closed her eyes and sighed as Marah's words reminded her the last time she had seen him; standing there holding Jason. For the next few months/years that was the only image she had of her boys and it was on this ship's bridge. It was going to haunt her for a while.

"You do realise that he..." she trailled off and shook of the pain, "Marah, I can lead the house and stuff, but this out of my depth. This...this," she moistened her lips, "is like running a company. Making decisions and stuff. I can't do that. He's my husband, naturally he's going to think I can do it."

But she took a breath and thought what they had done with their new found enemy. Giving a small smile, "I guess we did. Bet he be out the get the 'leader' of this group. Of assuming he's expecting a male in charge.

Lying there on his bed, he stares at the ceiling, thinking. Mostly thinking about his family and friends that he met throughout his life. Thinking about what there destination looked like. Thinking about how Czaski could still be here, yet sacraficing his life the rest of the crew. His train of thought was interrupted by the sound of someone knocking on the door. "It's open." he shouted, and as the door open he sees a familar face. "Didn't expect you to be seeing me...not after what I just did in the briefing room." he said as he looked back up at the ceiling waiting for what the person has to say.

"Nekurrin Lefay, or Nek if you want. I'm curious though; what do you mean by our translation, and how is it possible that your shuttles look similar to ours?" he asked not expecting a clear answer to the questions. While he was hearing her response, his radio blurred with another technicians on the line. "Mr. Lefay, do you read?" he just sighed and looked at her, "Excuse me for a moment." he said as he turned around the corner of the shuttle.

He pushed the button of the side and said, "What is it? And this better be an emergency." Nothing but static came back until the voice spoke again "Um, we got some technical difficulties with the navigation up here." the tech said. All Nek did was rub his head with a thumb and index finger. "Did you ask Doctor Bates, who's in the main engineering to fix it?" he replied, only to get a response he didn't like so much. "Bates specifically warned us not the bother him for such a long period of time, and he's got the doors in engineering lock so we can't really fix it directly, only from the bridge." Nek nodded in disappointment that the only good enough technicians were still in the medical wards. Then he muttered under his breath, "I don't get payed enough for any of this nonsense." he heard his radio blared with the voice asking if he was still on the line.

"Yes, I'm still here. Look I just got to the Hanger Bays, do you know how long it's going to take for me to get back up there with all the damaged decks, sections, and elevators? You know what, here's something I'm giving you almost like an order. Don't touch anything else, let me get done down here, and I'll be up there in a bit. Give me like thirty to forty minutes, can you do that?" he said in the calmest tone he can. He heard a confirmation and the line going silent. By the stars, I hope Simon heard all of that. Maybe I can get a break after all this is done. he thought as he went back to Erina. "Sorry about that, small problem I have to take care of in a bit. So, um...what were you saying?" he said, hoping that he didn't offend her in any way.

"Won't he get a big surprise then. You know we could use that fact. He may not believe that a woman could beat him." she said through another burst of laughter. After a few moments of laughing she regained her control then asked, "You want to go get a bite down in the mess hall. I need to make sure Smite is alright. He was hit hard with Nikolai's Death. Who knew the old KGB would have it in him" she said a little somber.

For a brief moment her thought were of her husband back on earth. He had no idea she was on this mission. He had been off on another top secret mission and she wasn't able to talk to him until he got back. She shook her head slightly and put her mind back into the situation at hand.
They were finished soon. Caitlyn was going to head to her room to get a book before going to get something to eat.
