"I will consider both" she answered before dismissing her and returning to the book she'd been working through.
The week passed in a series of flurries and extreme boredom all around. The queen took some time to talk with Sheppard and the others again about what was to happen. Surprisingly, they'd agreed to some of the upgrades they'd asked for as the risk the queen was taking was a big one and a ship that could outrun their enemies but not themselves would be useful on the front lines.
McKay, looking for something to do with his team grounded for the time being, took a crew over to the hive and consulted with a few of the engineers and scientists about what they could accomplish.
Teyla gladly took up sparring with Rogue again. With Torren on New Athos, her time on Atlantis was fairly free and could be devoted to such, along with meditation and even talking with the new queen on one occasion.
Ronon was torn between disliking staying in one place all the time and wanting to be on hand in the event the wraith double-crossed them. Eventually he joined Teyla and Rogue in their sparring matches and even a bit of meditation.
The queen took to chess wonderfully and by the end of the week had all but mastered the English language. Though, like Todd for awhile, did not understand why humans made up stories like The Count of Monte Cristo when they had such culture and history already. Tomorrow, Todd would come out of his pod, and they'd begin the gene therapy that afternoon. For now however, the queen set up the board again for one more round before Rogue had to sleep.
