Why This Must Be Read: Tarlan is one of my very favourite authors of fandom and this is one of my favourite series by the author.
The first part of a four part series which initially is a crossover with a Hewligan production, Tarlan explains, “SGA/SG1 AU crossover based on the David Hewlett film “Survivor” where DH's character had no name so he can be an AU version of Rodney McKay :-)”
The Series Summarys says: Rodney McKay escapes the horror within the Morpheus I drilling station but the danger has not passed. As his life entwines with the John Sheppard and the Stargate program, he learns that there is a lot more to discover out in the stars--Atlantis.
So, Rodney is a medical doctor who has been part of a expedition in Antartica, who inadvertently break into an alien space craft that has been buried beneath the snow for millions of years. Its occupant is an alien whose species’ food source is human.
Rodney’s character is very much tempered here, he has seen the horrors of being a trauma specialist and what can be done to a human by other then caught in the grasp of an alien and he has yet to emerge into the full McKay.
The Transicon helicopter landed, whipping up a man made snowstorm, and Rodney approached it cautiously, ducking as he ran forward with Cat and Adam. He stopped abruptly, bumping into Adam's back when the pilot received a message over his radio headset, holding out a hand towards them, palm outward, to stop them from clambering inside.
Rodney huddled against the downdraft; his arms wrapped around his own body as Adam leaned in and spoke to the pilot. He noticed the sudden tension in Adam's frame even though Adam's words were whipped away in the strong, man made wind. Adam shook his head angrily and stepped back, slamming shut the door and turning back. He grabbed Rodney's arm and dragged him and Cat away as the helicopter lifted off. Rodney lunged forward, only to be held back by Adam. He watched in bewilderment as the helicopter moved away rapidly until it was just a dark spot in the sky once more.
"Why did he go?"
Adam gripped both of Rodney's shoulders tightly. "Something about the Government taking control of the situation. We'd best get back inside before we freeze out here."
Rodney glanced back towards the Morpheus installation, his fear returning. What if it wasn't dead? They might have only stunned it. For all he knew it could be lying in wait for them right now, contemplating a healthy meal to get its strength back up. The heavy thud of mechanical sound came on the breeze and Rodney glanced back up at the sky, almost fainting in relief as he saw several dark specks approaching. The first of seven military helicopters settled close by, sending up fresh flurries of snow that drove against the three of them; Rodney found himself hiding behind Adam as the side door opened. He could just make out the pilot, half hidden behind darkened aviator glasses. The pilot stared back at him and Rodney could read curiosity in the tilt of the man's head.
"Mr. King, Dr. Holden and Dr. McKay, I presume?" A silver-haired man stepped down in front of them, his brown eyes alight with concern, and his thin lips a tight line. He held out a hand. "General Jack O'Neill, United States Air Force." His eyes narrowed. "We need you to come back with us so we can figure out what the hell happened here."
