Nicki O'Neill has been living in the shadows for a while. As a teenager she met her father, Jack, and was introduced to his world when his enemies used her as leverage. The SGC has assumed responsibility for her protection over the years, but when the threat against her life increases, Earth isn't the safest place for her to live. So she's shipped off (literally) to the Pegasus galaxy. Courtesy of the Daedalus. Atlantis has just reconnected with Stargate Command and accepts Nicki, Major Lorne (her bff), and other new team members for the growing expedition. And shortly after Nicki arrives, another recruit is added--Ronon Dex. This is the story of how old and new friends come together to form their own family and protect each other against the dangers of the Pegasus galaxy. (Starts in season 2 and is eventually a RononxOC ship.) *I only own rights to Nicki and her specific storylines. The rest belongs to the creators of SG-1 and SGA.*
