TEYLA
I am Teyla Emmagan, daughter of Tagan.
SUMNER
(nodding to each team member)
Colonel Marshall Sumner, Major Sheppard, Lieutenant Ford. We have very few specific needs.
TEYLA
(sternly)
We do not trade with strangers.
SUMNER
Is that a fact?
SHEPPARD
Well, then, we'll just, uh…we'll have to get to know each other. Me, um, I like Ferris wheels and college football, anything that goes more than 200 miles per hour.
FORD
(low, to Sheppard)
Sir, that's not going to mean anything to them.
SHEPPARD
(low to Ford)
Feel free to speak up. I'm just trying to break the ice here.
SUMNER
(low, to Sheppard)
These people can't help us. I'd rather not waste the time.
TEYLA
Each morning, before dawn, our people drink a stout tea to brace us for the coming day. Will you join us?
SHEPPARD
(stepping forward)
I love a good cup of tea. Now, there's another thing you know about me.
(to Sumner)
We're practically friends already.
[Ford looks to Sumner. Who quirks an eyebrow and smiles at Sheppard's tactics despite himself.]
EXT—ATHOS SETTLEMENT, DAWN
[Sumner approaches Bates, who's looking through binoculars at something in the distance.]
BATES
We didn't even know it was there until the sun came up.
[Sumner looks through the binoculars at the ruins of an Ancient city across the bog.]
SUMNER
Looks more promising than anything else these folks have to offer. Plenty of shelter, nice, little valley. Location, location, location.
[He hands the binoculars back to Bates.]
INT—TENT
[Sumner has returned to the tent.]
TORAN
The city of the Ancestors is not safe.
SUMNER
We can handle ourselves.
TORAN
The Wraith will come.
SUMNER
Who are these Wraith?
TEYLA
(warily)
We have never met anyone who did not know.
SUMNER
Well, you have now.
TEYLA
If the Wraith have never touched your world, you should go back there now.
SHEPPARD
Oh, we'd like to, but we can't. See, here's the thing, ma'am. We've got ourselves into a bit of a bind, and we may need a safe place to stay for a while.
TEYLA
Our people have long believed that the Wraith will come if we venture into the old city. But it is a belief we've not tested in some time.
SUMNER
(to his team)
Gentlemen.
[He leads them out of the tent to talk privately.]
EXT—ATHOS SETTLEMENT, DAWN
SUMNER
Look, I don't care what they say. That city is worth a look, not to mention the possibility there could be ZPMs there that they don't know or care about.
SHEPPARD
What if the Wraith are the enemy the Ancient hologram lady is talking about?
SUMNER
All the more reason for us to have a defensible position should we have to abandon Atlantis.
(to Sheppard)
Stay here and find out what you can.
(to Ford)
Ford, you head back to the gate and report in to Weir. Tell her we'll have answers for her in a few hours.
FORD
Yes, sir.
INT—ATHOS TENT
[Sheppard rejoins Teyla and Toran.]
SHEPPARD
Well, I guess it's just you and me…And him.
TEYLA
(nodding towards Sumner)
Your leader looks through me as if I were not there.
SHEPPARD
Do I?
TEYLA
No. You truly cannot return to your world?
SHEPPARD
No.

INT—ATLANTIS CONTROL ROOM
WEIR
Tell me some good news, Rodney.
MCKAY
I can't do that.
WEIR
The shield has held back the ocean for centuries.
MCKAY
And probably would've kept going for years more, but our arrival changed that. Now it's nothing more than a thin shell between the buildings and the water.
WEIR
We stopped exploring.
MCKAY
The damage was already done. Another section of the city, on the far side, was flooded an hour or so ago.
GRODIN
Even occupying this room is draining power.
MKCAY
We need to evacuate the moment Colonel Sumner reports back it's safe.
WEIR
You're saying we have to abandon the city?
[The city creaks.]
MCKAY
The sooner we leave, the longer that shield holds.
