McKay didn't mind the nice clean, almost ornamental halls. They seemed nice, apparently, the Sangheili had been part of some holy war on behalf of another species which had controlled them. Much the same as the Goa'uld and the Jaffa. It was a shame they didn't have a Jaffa aboard who could relate to these people easily, the closest thing they had to an honour based warrior was perhaps Ronon. Not that Ronon was a very diplomatic soul and really he was only here as they were still somewhat hesitant of the Sangheili. The majority of times an SG team made contact with an alien non-human race they turned out to be hostile. So he had a team with him just in case something went horribly wrong. 

The energy lift thing wasn't fun. Flying through thin air at speeds with the ground looming below him. If the system failed he was pretty much done for. He had voiced his thoughts at the time to nothing but rolled eyes and assurances that he would be fine. Either that or he could have walked, something he wasn't interested in either. The part of him that had become used to getting into fights with aliens noted that you could easily fit a Jumper down these corridors. Which would be useful if they ever had to fight similar vessels.  As they reached the lab he wasn't so surprised to see the Sangheili wearing hides, though he had to question whether or not someone wearing animal skin was going to be productive to their conversations, he was more surprised by the human he was greeted with. He walked in and looked around at the equipment, some of it alien while some of it was distinctly human. From everything he had seen from the other vessel and in this lab humans from their universe were easily a hundred years more advanced than back at home, perhaps two and likely was their evolutionary path had the Stargate not been uncovered. 

Maybe the Covenant was the evolutionary path that the Goa'uld were on before their downfall. 

Rodney extended his hand. "Doctor Rodney McKay, I'm here to see if I can spruce up your hyperdrive a bit. Afterwhich Colonel Caldwell, the commanding officer of the Daedalus, has allowed me to invite you back there to take a look at our ship. It's only fair after all."

Hermiod sat in the main control room. Readouts on various screens, their power output, resources collected, predicted collection and what was necessary in order to build a variety of different vessels. It had taken time to bring all the systems online, by all estimates within one week they would be able to build a vessel to the maximum size that this facility could manage. It was an impressive feat of engineering, however much like the humans from Earth it seemed oddly advanced in some areas while weaker in others. It was almost as if something dramatically launched them into the space age and gained technologies along the way. Doctor Robotnik had already petitioned for the creation of a factory that would allow him to construct robotic units however as of yet Hermiod had stonewalled him, this vessel and the resources provided were for the fleet. The collectors that were out in the asteroid belt were all piloted by Unnogy from the Aegis so he felt it prudent that if anyone was to benefit from the shipyard as a single vessel then it should be the Sangheili vessel first.

So far the only vessels they had constructed were a series of defence platforms which he had scattered throughout the belt, along with sensor beacons and relays capable of detecting vessels in hyperspace and systems away. If anyone were to come towards them they would soon know about it. Hermiod sighed as he turned to another console where he was working on the new problem. The problem of Anubis.

John had enjoyed the time aboard the Glasgow. Being the Doppelganger of an intergalactic space hero had its perks, one of the 'N7' operatives had even let him don their armour for a photo op. If he had been paid ten dollars per picture he would have been a wealthy man. It didn't bother him much, he had enjoyed the moment of fame. So often due to the work they did being classified nobody knew how many times they had gone out and saved the day, he never wanted recognition for it. Though it would have been nice, once they were back in their home universe it would be nice to know that a Sheppard out there was appreciated. The cloaked jumper launched from the Glasgow after it was through the atmosphere, and he wasn't sure what he was expecting but it wasn't this. He immediately sat up in his chair as he was confronted with buildings that reached to the sky, some even as far as low orbit with their own landing platforms. Traffic went in every direction as he bobbed and waved through the spacecraft that couldn't even see him. He regretted not leaving the Glasgows hangar until they were much lower.

In the craft were a variety of personnel from the various ships going on this mission. Deciding to pool their resources and expertise into mixed teams. The Marines staying behind to guard the Glasgow if needed, while Teyla was on a team that would go to the local markets to gather what information they had there. He looked down to his arm where the new Omnitool rested. He still wasn't familiar with it which was why he was glad Sarah Wilkes was aboard. One of the N7 operatives that these people coveted and from what he had been able to gather, rightly so.

Their mission sounded simple on paper, infiltrate the former Jedi Temple. Find out if the 'recall' order sent to Jedi vessels had been changed to one warning them away yet, if not do so. That was at the request of Erthos. There was also a vault of old relics that were apparently immensely powerful, and a library of 'holocrons' which were apparently great halls of information that was older than the Republic had been. Secondary objectives, plant explosives in the main tower. Apparently in a final middle-finger to his enemies, Palpatine would turn this building into the Imperial Palace. If they set explosives in the tower, when Palpatine moved in they'd have him on a trigger. It'd be far easier to kill, and get to Anubis, if Palpatine was out of the way.
