[color=ed1c24]"None taken. You are not wrong. Even I have to admit to being disturbed to some degree when I learned of the Wraith. To think that with our ability to heal the host, the process might take even longer... I shudder to think."[/color] Morrigan said, visibly uncomfortable with the idea. [color=ed1c24]"But I would not worry. The replicators probably did a thorough job of eliminating any civilization that was advanced enough for them to assimilate, and it is likely that we can stand up to whomever they left behind. I would be most worried about any automated Asgard defenses we might stumble upon."[/color]

[color=39b54a]"Well, fortunately during our stay on the [i]Langford[/i], we've had ample practice fighting against the odds and treading carefully."[/color] The captain added, [color=39b54a]"Hence why we will carry two puddle jumpers to act as recon craft. If there is a civilization that can well and truly hide even form Asgard sensors, the Lanteans are it."[/color] and if it came to slugging, she believed that the asgard shields would be able to hold out long enough for a quick jump out of range.

Turning to the colonel, the captain grinned: [color=39b54a]"The marines are trained to repel boarders on ships, so they will do nicely for ship security and for protecting whoever explores the seed ship. But I concur that once we establish ourselves and start exploring planets, gating in a few good old SG teams or fresh PBI is a good idea. No sense carrying them with us immediately though, we can carry only so many supplies. Hopefully we will be able to set up on the garden world, from what the doc said, it should be able to feed quite a few mouths. Maybe even a bunch of livestock. I would not say no to fresh cheese after a few months."[/color] she sighed. While she enjoyed her command of the [i]Langford[/i], the cuisine despite the best efforts of the mess staff was severely lacking in variety and flavor, and that was with considerably shorter supply lines from Earth.

[color=39b54a]"Speaking of, the [i]Nyx[/i] should finish beaming up supplies by the end of the hour. Falnore is overseeing the preparations on board, so he should give you an echo when it's your time to beam aboard. although if you excuse me, I have to catch a plane to Edwards. I will be taking one of the 302s up, it will probably be the last chance I get to fly for quite some time."[/color] Black dismissed them, heading out.

[color=ed1c24]"I believe the captain is one of the people who believe they do not survive usage of modern transportation means and are replaced by an identical clone."[/color] Morrigan observed, [color=ed1c24]"I don't think I have ever seen her walk through a gate, ring or beam aboard. She flown one of your fighters aboard the Langford as well."[/color]

As she said that, their earpieces came to life. [color=fff200]"XO, Colonel, doctor Fletcher? We are ready for you up here."[/color] the voice of the Tollan engineer said.
