Summary by the author:
A mission goes poorly. Very poorly. For the prompt: "I trust you and that makes you true. Even if that's not the way it is. The Tragically Hip, "In View."
Why This Must Be Read:
Because I love stories in which the danger creeps up on them unexpectedly and secretly and vain_glorious does a spledid job here to show exactly this.
The team has to deal with that danger while they're completely on their own.
"M3X-128 killed eight members of the Atlantis mission before John Sheppard’s team got there. That was the total of the crews of two Puddlejumpers, the second of which had been on a search and rescue mission for the former. The first had vanished on a reconnaissance mission, before any boots had even hit soil.
The third visit was on foot.
They didn’t even know where their ships had crashed. The puddlejumpers’ computers were offline – destroyed, probably – and all of the scientists fiddling with electronics hadn’t gotten them to register on any of the instruments. The puddlejumpers’ crews – AR-9 and AR-12 – had to be presumed dead for their total silence in the weeks following their disappearances.
It wasn’t a cheerful start to the mission.Few debriefings began with the stated goal of recovering eight bodies, with the secondary objective of finding out what the hell had shot their people out of the sky.
The Wraith were the most obvious culprit, but that didn’t seem likely.
“We have no intel of Wraith in the entire sector,” Richard Woolsey told them at the debriefing, somberly.
“Why?” asked Rodney McKay. Sheppard glanced at him, silently agreeing that it was usually better to blame the Wraith until proven otherwise.
“All eleven planets in that region are recently uninhabited,” Woolsey said, tone still grim.
“Culled,” translated Ronon Dex, and Woolsey nodded.
“Wraith do not stay where there is no food,” Teyla Emmagan said.
“Right,” Woolsey went on. He sighed, tapped his finger on the tablet that Sheppard knew listed the names of the missing. “You have your mission.” He looked Sheppard in the eyes. “Be careful.”
***
“Paluthua,” Teyla said, seconds after they came through the ‘Gate. “I did not realize.”"
