Title: To Boldly Go

Summery: John Sheppard had had better weeks. Wraith attacks, flying the city, temporal rifts, and nearly empty galaxies. Things couldn't be worse. Mostly Star Trek: TNG with Voyager and DS9 worked in and references from Star Trek 2009.

Pairing: None for the moment.

Disclaimer: The great and wonderful mind of Gene Roddenberry (among others) owns the creation of Star Trek. Sci-Fi and whom ever it concerns own Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis.

Warning:There will lots of spoilers for Star Trek: TNG/DS9/Voyager, and Stargate: SG-1. There will be spoilers for whatever I happen to remember of SGA. I warn you now, there's bound to be lots of mistakes for both worlds in general. Not to mention the technical mechanics of the awesome things that happen in both. I'm no astrophysicist or a theoretical physicist. I wouldn't mind being one, but I'm not so good with the math (linear geometry is murder).

Turbulence throughout the city was steadily getting worse. John was sure the medical bay would be overflowing if they made it out of this. Scratch that. When they got out. He wouldn't be pessimistically grim about the situation. They had to make it through this - they'd faced worse than a natural invisible mystical space anomaly that popped out of nowhere and was threatening to tear the city apart with them in it.

Wait. Take that back. Who was he kidding? He'd take the Ginii any day. Hell, even the Wraith would be preferable over space anomalies. At least then he knew where to point his gun. This, this he couldn't shoot. Well, he didn't think he could.

"Rodney! What the hell is going on? Get us out of here!"

"Do you have anywhere in particular you have to be? 'Cause in case you haven't realized yet, I CAN'T!" There was more than a touch of panic in his voice. Fear. John didn't like the sound of it.

"Rodney, just calm down-"

"How do you expect anyone to be calm at a time like this!" He was getting hysterical.

Elizabeth closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Rodney, just listen to me. Take a deep breath. Now, tell me what's happening."

There was silence for a moment. "We experienced something like a sonic wave - a hyperwave. A phenomenon akin to a solar flare. It's unnatural and as best as I can figure, was triggerd by the blast of those bombs we exploded on the Wraith ships just before we entered the hyperdrive."

"I thought you said we didn't cause this!" John exclaimed.

Elizabeth looked thoughtful. "What do you mean 'experienced'?"

"We didn't. This," Rodney snapped back waving at the readouts on the counsel before them. "Is nothing. And it can't be nothing. It started off as a hyperwave. But this, the sensors aren't reading it; only picking up the damage its causing. Parts of the city are starting to be crushed by kinetic energy. The shields are holding, but the hyperdrive is offline--"

"Yet are we not in hyperspace?" Teyla asked.

"Yes. Well, no. Not exactly. We've stopped moving, yet everything indicates that we are moving. Just not in any direction." He sighed and tried to rephrase his words. "From what the sensors aren't picking up, well its amazing. If I'm reading this correctly, what's there and not there indicates that we happened upon a quantum singularity. A tachyon field." He was still drawing blanks.

"The particles surrounding the city are spontaneously moving faster beyond their ability and are loosing energy quickly. As they loose more energy they're going to move faster until they settle back. But it's not going to just stop. Not initially. The energy they're giving off is going to explode, creating a singular astronomical event." Radek tried to clarify.

Rodney shrugged. "It's a theoretical rip, an instability in space-time itself and we've been sucked right into it." The room went silent. Everyone seemed to be holding their breath. "It could be nothing and we'll come out on the side a little worse for wear. Or, we could simply be ripped to shreds."

A/N: Wonderfully short, isn't it? Not likely to change. Forewarning, I don't know if I'll finish this. I've started on the next part, but this story is an experiment in a new style of writing for me. I'm a long winded imagery using type of writer and short, to the point chapter are hard yet cathartic for me.
