First Gate
Who: Jennifer Keller
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Now
[The woman on the broadcast is smiling contentedly and seems reluctant to wake up. She murmurs happily and turns over on her bunk, obviously in the midst of a pleasant dream, or relishing a happy memory.
Then her eyes snap open, and she slowly turns... takes in her surroundings... and a few realizations hit. 1. This isn't Atlantis. 2. This also isn't San Francisco. 3. Nobody else is here- Rodney, John, Teyla, Ronon, Carson... not even Mr. Woolsey or Amelia.]
... oh. Oh, crap. Don't tell me the wormhole drive did this... [That's more to herself than anyone else, because she doesn't yet realize she's being watched. Heedless, she scrambles to stand upright, touching an earpiece on her right ear to activate a radio, and a brief burst of static can be heard.]
Dr. McKay, this is Dr. Keller. Please come in. [Tap. Tap.] Rodney? Are you there? [Tap. Nothing. Okay, try not to panic.] Colonel Sheppard, this is Dr. Keller, come in. Mr. Woolsey? Teyla? If anyone on Atlantis can hear me, please respond... [Nothing again. She looks down at herself, finally finding the little communicator clipped to her jacket pocket. OK, that definitely wasn't there before. She lifts it up to her face, examining it curiously, poking at the screen.] OK, can anybody hear me at all?

Re: Action
Probably not. Who knows what they have in store for us?

Can't say I enjoyed that experience either, considering it was pointed at me.

[She crosses over to one of the large windows looking out to the stars.]
I'd sure like to know what part of the galaxy we're in. If we're even in the Milky Way at all anymore.
Action
Where I come from, humanity's predecessors- we called them the Ancients- had developed a system of intergalatic travel called Stargates. When the Ancients were gone, it was several thousand years before humans rediscovered the Gates and figured out how to work them. Most humans are unaware they exist yet, though.
[She laughs nervously.]
Technically I'm not allowed to talk about it myself, but it's not like my superiors can fire me for this, right?
Action
I think considering the situation, they'll let it slide. You shouldn't know I'm from the future, either, but here we are.

Re: Action
I'm sorry. I was with my friends as well... if it makes you feel any better, I'm told they don't know that we're gone. When we go back, to them, it'll be like we were there the whole time.
Action
I hope that's true. I mean, unexplained disappearances have been known to happen where I come from, but that doesn't help me much.
