Why This Must Be Read:
Summary by the author:
The Atlantis team finds an Ancient lab and ends up in trouble in some strange place. Or isn't it? Crossover SGA/SG1. Set shortly after season 5 of SGA after they somehow return to Pegasus.

Two teams for the price of one! *g*

A solid action/adventure team-fic with twists, turns and complications to make it a gripping read. I read it at one go because I constantly wanted to know what would happen next. If you're a friend of plotty adventure stories, give this one a try.

After Rodney finished, there was a long silence. Sam's eyebrows remained up throughout the explanation and still hadn't come back down to their original position.

"Why should we believe you?" Mitchell chipped in.

"Because... it's the truth."

"Don't you think this story is a little... ridiculous?"

Rodney rolled his eyes. "Seriously?" He stared at them. "My bet, you already know it's true." He crossed his arms.

"Well, maybe you just watch too much sci-fi."

Sam smiled slightly. "Cam, I know a better way." She stepped forward. "What's the minimum unit of any physical entity involved in an interaction?"

Rodney grinned. "A quantum."

"And what's quantum coherence?"

"Coherence is a property of waves that enables stationary interference. More generally, coherence describes all properties of the electronic correlation between physical quantities of a wave."

"What's the maximum amount of time an artificially generated wormhole can remain open in non-relativistic conditions?"

"Thirty-eight minutes."

Sam nodded and tried to hide a smile.

"I guess we found the source of that energy wave." Mitchell finally said.
