Unknown to her at the moment, he wasn't going to honor that deal. When they had a moment to themselves, he'd offer her a place on the hive. It would be years before his queen-if she chose him-could take the throne on his hive. Until then, Rogue could live as a cook, and in between that and sparring, they could try and control her powers. Woolsey was not a young man, his days as head of Atlantis were most likely numbered, and he'd already been head of the ancient city for some years, a record compared to his predecessors. Perhaps when Rogue had mastered her power-for Todd was certain she could with the right training-they'd return and she could live and work here on Atlantis.
But, yes, there were other things that needed to be discussed and Woolsey seemed to agree with Rogue on that at least.
Todd told them how things had gone poorly with the wraith he'd talked to as well as the better news from the other commanders and their queens, as well as the gain of a possible queen somewhere down the line for his hive. The serum thus far had been successful and he'd distributed the rest of his supply to the other hive commanders, but more was needed.
"Jennifer and Carson are working on reproducing it as fast as possible" McKay chimed in.
"I have a question." Sheppard said "Where are you getting all your...new food?"
"We've found that we've only needed to eat once a day, compared to humans and their three meals, so that cut down on how much of our stores were affected. At first, we ate the meals ready to eat you gave us, but as its been a few months since our last meeting...we had to find another source of food. We turned to our worshipers for the answer."
"Thought you no longer had them." Ronon said
"We do." Todd answered, glancing to him, then back to Sheppard. "But no longer on our hive ships as the temptation to feed upon them became too great for many wraith. All those in the alliance had their worshipers removed and set upon a rich world to live on."
"A world of worshipers?" McKay said, pulling a face.
"Correct. They gave us all they could spare of their harvests and the like, but also made us realize we'd have to sustain ourselves. So on the same planet, but another continent, we've started our own farming and herding. Drones make the perfect workers, which is why we need a serum that rids them of the need to feed."
"You're in luck, didn't Keller manage a breakthrough with that?" Sheppard asked Rodney who confirmed.
