Chapter 191 (1/2)

Atlantis

Summoned by an urgent communiqué, Todd had quickly made his way to Atlantis five minutes earlier. As part of their alliance, intelligence information was regularly shared between the Tauri and Todd. Both shared the desire to being an end to the Wraith, so it was another example of adversity making strange bedfellows. Taking their seats in the conference room, Teyla, Todd, Woolsey, and Zelenka began.

”Thank you for coming so quickly Todd.” Woolsey began.

”It serves both of our purposes.” Todd replied simply.

”The latest transmission from the nanites has arrived. We have a few questions.” Zelenka explained.

”I'll wager a guess that your question revolves around the nanites inability to infect the queen.” Todd surmised.

”In due time we'll have everyone near her infected, so it makes little sense to worry about infecting her directly.” Zelenka admitted.

”In the transcript, the queen makes mention of something neither I nor Doctor Zelenka have heard of before. She called it the Harbinger.” Woolsey explained.

”Athosian legend tells of a story passed down directly from the ancestors. It tells of an ancient evil capable of destroying entire civilizations in a day and a night. This evil was known as the Harbinger.” Teyla explained.

”Todd, do you have any insight on this?” Woolsey asked.

”What you're saying simply cannot be.” Todd argued.

”I'm afraid I must ask that you explain.” Woolsey suggested.
