Mac was standing at ease, her stance open and friendly. SHe hoped. After giving her name and rank, she stood back a bit, waiting for a response. The reply was NOT what she was expecting. 

Your words mean nothing to me...Except that you claim to be Tau'ri. We have heard of the Tau'ri in ancient legend and myth, but they were rumored to be great warriors, and you...You are a woman. Mac raised an eyebrow. She was mostly used to that reaction-being a female Marine, she often heard the "women should be in the kitchen, not combat" crap that less secure men liked to spew. Her brown eyes, normally soft and friendly, flashed a bit as she fought to maintain herself. THe man went on. 

[q]Why do you lead this men into battle? What is your crime? 

Saying yes, she mumbled as Koren stepped forward. 

In our culture, Women are respected and treated the same as men, no matter what the task is...She is our leader, and I am her second in command.

This Woman is your master? 

Well...yes. Yes, of course. Just go with it. Don't let it get to you, he said, to Mac.[/i][/quote] 

Mac just nodded. She wasn't bothered. She knew who she was-she WAS used to the reaction. She kept her rifile at a safe distance, at her hip, and pointed down. She was here to advocate peace, and it took a  lot more than a man with his head in his arse to distract her from her orders. 

I AM the commanding office, sir, and I assure you, we're here for peace. 

Tag:@ Koren. 

A few things happened after that. 

These foreigners are of no threat to us! Back to your houses!" After the men had gone, he turned back to Koren, throwing a very strong arm around Koren's shoulders, "Yours is a strange culture, young man. Being led by a woman into battle...Ah, just imagining it makes me laugh," Then he turned to Mac, "And yet, here it is before me!"



The man then proceeded to bow, putting all of his weight on his back foot, and leaning far back with arms outstretched, "I am Agraj Borkakoti, the leader of this settlement." He straightened up again, "What is your purpose here?"

Mac sighed. She was NOT about to be pushed aside, but she would assert herself calmly. But before she could respond, the Porcieuk's voice came down the radio line. 

SV-3 from SV-2 ," Fiala's urgent voice crackled over the comms, "We have a large body of water moving on your position now! get to the gate!" Huh?! She glanced around...nothing was happening, but she just nodded to Koren. 

Let's move them out. Charter, prep to regate, please. She turned back to the man. 

[q]Koren shot a look at Mac, then turned to a distraught looking Agraj, "This area is about to flood," He said, looking directly into the man's eyes, "Is there anywhere you and your people can seek shelter?"



Agraj lowered his voice, suddenly serious, "No," He said deeply, "Our nearest village is at least a 2 days walk from here. We will try to find high ground and wait out the waters,"



Koren turned to the LC, "Mac," He said, screw protocol, "We can't just let these people die. We have to take them through the gate with us,"


"Dr. Harrison will find a way. We can spare the rations; we have Shiva coming to resupply." Koren looked defiantly at Mac and grabbed hold of his P90, "I'm not leaving here without these people. I'll stay and ride out the flood if I have to. These people will need the help rebuilding."
[/quote] Mac considered, then nodded. 

Charter, delay my last. Now, prepare to help refugees. I am instiuting the BLUE operational plan. We go to the gate with as many villagers as is possible. She turned and began to give out orders, her voice and tone even and calm. She noted that Telion reported back to Fiala, and she was fine with his go-ahead. He would be a great asset.

Finally, Aear spoke. 

"You know The Noizy Tribe is one of the few Meowtian units that doesn't have a female commander. Generally women are more capable in magic and are better warriors. They also tend to have better tactics." Damn straight. 

I agree.. 

With a swift, deft twist of her wrist, she shouldered her rifle, and began to lead a small line of villagers towards the Stargate. With the grace of God, they'd make it in time.

Fee was hauling herself as fast as her feet could carry her. For once, she wasn't worried that her canvas Keds were out of uniform-uniforms were stupid, as they blurred an individual's sense of self. But now she could outrun the water, and though Fee wasn't one for exercise, her tiny size and natural athletic ability let her lope across the fields behind Shadow. She'd rolled her pants up in case the water came before she could go out-plus, it was hot, and she was guessing that in the chaos, no one would notice her disarray. Fee didn't purposely break the rules, but she was a little distracted by many things, and felt too encumbered by the BDUs she was now forced to wear. She missed her jeans, leggings, and sweatshirts. 

She heard Fiala's voice as they apperead at the spot the Gate was. 

Ok Fiona dial us up, Inform command were taking back guest, Kelly I want you to lead are guests through when they get here . We won't have time to waste, so keep them moving . Fee nodded. 

YEs, ma'am. In a flash, Fee had dialed their location, and end coordinates, and had prepped the radios to pick up signals. The base was alerted to their return. She prayed that Declan Murphy was as handy at the systems as she hoped he was. He SHOULD be, but she wasn't taking chances. She took a spot inside, removed her tablet for a head count, and turned on her radio. She sent a quiet prayer into the universe, asking for her friends, Fiala, Koren, and Aear, to be safe, and that the others made it back through the Gate.

Over the radio, she heard Aear's call. 

Fee can you computer calculate how many explosions we'd need to keep the wave away from the village? If I launch enough Hraesvelger... Magic Missilles maybe everyone can get out alive.[/] Fee sighed. She raised her radio to her lips. 

No. There's no time. Don't try to be a hero. Normally, I would say yes, but there's no time. Her chest ached. She, too, wanted to save them all, but Fee had lived enough life to know that things never quite worked out perfectly. Do your best, but follow orders, OK?! She really, REALLY wanted to go home. 

Tag:Aear Charter.

Finally, several strange men began to trot towards the Gate, led by Colonel Mackenzie and Koren, with Aear bringing up the rear. She began her headcount, though she WANTED to dart to Koren and see if he was OK, and to give Aear a hug. But she had a job to do. She smiled at the strangers as they passed, with Liam sorting them into groups, and she trying to keep them calm. She wondered how she appeared-a tiny redhead with a strange machine and an even stranger accent.

"Kelly your priority is to get you and Fiona through the gate.......Keep moving to the ring, you've no time to waste.......Kelly I want you to lead are guests through"


Liam nodded in reply when Fiala said that to him.  "On it" he said to his XO, holding onto Shadow's leash and his P90 at the same time.  He stood close to Fiona as the gate was dialed up.  Shadow readied himself at the same time, feeling his stomach turn as he sat next to his handler.  Liam reached down and gently touched Shadow's head as they waited for the rest to show up.

Fiala continued to shout out for the Villagers to keep moving, she had remained near Marah who had taking position in center of the group and push them to there limits . She was surprised how quick the villagers had increased speed as the water approached, nothing like fear of death to get you move, was what she taught to herself as they picked up speed. Fiala could only watch as some of the men pushed there way to the front of the line using there strength to get what they wanted, the group they were with now begun to approach the gate and as the gate came in to sight all she could do was wonder how many would not make it . It was that moment an old woman went to the ground after one of the men pushed her to the ground to get to the front . The old woman fell in pain and it was at that moment she wondered if it was worth helping her or continue to push forward with the crowd and with a second of hesitation she turned to help . As the woman struggled to get to her feet, Fiala lifted the woman to her feet and placing the womans arm over her shoulder helping her walk . As she walked slowly she wondered if it was worth it, do to there lack of speed and as they continued towards the gate a young girl took the woman's other arm . The girl smiled, she had been watching the two groups and was amazed by a woman ordering men around.
" Is it true your the leader of your group is a woman ."

Fiala tried to blank the girl and keep moving but the girl insisted to speak to her ." It is true isn't it and you are a warrior . Are all your woman warriors ."

" Yes, are commander is a female and we have the option of been a warrior ." Fiala hope that would be the end of the conversation but here hope was short lived .

" At your age, they still let you be a warrior ."

Fiala's cheeks went red, as much as she felt like telling the girl were to go and send her ten feet under she knew the flood took priority .

" I don't mean that in a bad way," she paused this time thinking carefully of her words ." Woman have little options in are people, my mother looks about your age and all she.."

That was the point Fiala hit boiling point and couldn't stop from letting out her discuss at the girl, but before she could tell her to Just shut the hell up and focus on getting to the gate alive, the old woman finely spoke " Child, I think you've said enough . She's here to help us not listen to you insult her ," the young girl lowered her head ashamed of her self . As they reached the gate a man of large built came running over and took over in helping the old woman . In Fiala's opinion he must of been related to her by the way of there interaction . He nodded his head in thanks and moved towards the gate . Fiala turned to the young girl, who still looked ashamed of what she said and with out a taught Fiala placed her hand on the girls shoulder and spoke " Good job " . Fiala lighly pushed her towards gate and with in a second she was . The rest of SV-2 were still at the gate and she was sure Marah was near .

< tag Marah >

With Marahs command Fiala spoke, they had got the large bulk of the villagers, the rest they couldn't help.
" SV-2, are time is up lets get out of here . "

< tag Fiona and Kelly>

Fiala waited till Kelly and Fiona stepped through before going through herself and leaving SV-3 the remaining team to step through .

Her head spun with the sheer number of people boarding. Where would they all GO??! Surely, someone had a plan. If not, they'd best think up one fast. 

Finally, the last strange villager was through the gate with Fiala and Marah. As she'd predicited, several of the aliens had given her strange looks, and a few of the children had reached out and touched her hair. She was trying to hold it together-as much as she disliked being in close quarters with strangers, the sheer number of people, and Liam's close presence, was just enough to keep her from going over the edge. 

She met Fiala's eyes, and smiled lightly as she dialed the coordinates to return to the Stargate, and stepped through herself, into a new, unknown adventure. When she'd radioed the Bridge, the Admiral hadn't exactly sounded excited with the plan to rescue and bring aboard several alien beings. But that was neither here nor there. 

She took a step forward, demonstrating how Gate travel worked, and, a few moments later, she was back in her control room, and for once, she felt at peace again.

After the villagers and Fiona stepped through the gate, Liam and Shadow took their turn.  Liam kept Shadow close as they stepped through the gate.  Moments later, Liam and Shadow appeared on the other side.  After shaking off the effects of the gate, Liam helped the villagers get back together, keeping his weapon pointed down as he did that.  At the same time, he noticed that a few in the group saw Shadow and were understandably afraid of him.  Liam had Shadow sit, then lay down before turning back to the group.  "He won't hurt you" he said to the group in a calm tone.
