Why This Must Be Read: Since the PTB conveniently forgot to deal with the Athosians for the majority of the show, it's up to fanfic to deal with the issues they so often overlook. Like, for example, the murky undefined issue of Teyla's leadership position among the Athosians. Considering she spends most of her time on Atlantis and away from the mainland and her people, I've always wondered if maybe all the Athosians weren't exactly pleased with her decision to join Sheppard's team. This piece presents a perfectly plausible demonstration of why some of them, specifically Halling, might not have been all that happy with Teyla, for several reasons.
