Caldwell sat looking at the sensor readings as the other ship approached from deep space. This was becoming a hodge podge of ships, and sooner or later one of them was unlikely to be as friendly or reasonable as everyone else was being. "Marks, I need you to have long range give me a possible hyperspace destination, it's a risk jumping to a planet when we don't know if what's waiting for us at it is worse but I'd rather have a destination rather than just jumping into hyperspace and hiding there indefinitely."

"Yes, Sir."

"Also hail that new ship." Marks nodded as the channel was opened.

"USS Yangtze, this is the Earth ship Daedalus. Ourselves and the other ships gathered here also seem to not know where we are or how we came to be here. If you desire we all have delegates aboard the ship broadcasting IFF as the Rentus, should you be unable to dock or board the vessel yourself we have the ability to beam you aboard using matter transmitters."

Sheppard turned to McKay, who merely shrugged. "It is possible that something brought us here, but nothing from our scans indicate that any of the ships here could have possibly been the source. If it was an outside power, why wouldn't they be here to collect us? How did they specifically target us? There isn't a lot here that makes sense."

"We've seen things like this before McKay."

"No we haven't. There's always been some quantifiable explanation for what's happened, this is, there's nothing. It's just happened for no reason and we're all lost with no clue where we are, no idea how far away from home and no telling what trouble At-" Sheppard threw a look at McKay before he mentioned Atlantis, they still weren't entirely sure how this Aurora related to their universe and didn't want to give away too much too soon. "-home is going on."

Teyla stepped forward as she tried to mediate, and change the conversation. "Perhaps Captain Valtrix is right, we should consider moving on to somewhere else. The answers we seek are not here, that much is certain."
