And Jenna... keeps an eye on Ronon, (and on Carson, and on Sheppard), but mostly looks around to see everything she can see in this magical non-magical city that she's going through and going to live in and explore and help save the world or galaxy or universe (she needs to figure out exactly what she's going to be doing specifically here) from! What wonderful and magical non-magical things are she seeing? 

The city has a sorta futuristic vibe with slightly burnished metal panels and smooth floors and a sort of diffuse lighting coming from the ceilings and small panels built into the walls. After a short walk everyone crowds into what might be an elevator and someone makes a couple taps on a panel on the wall, the first tap is on the center tower in a large six armed map of what might be the city the second to select a point in a map of a large building. There's a huge flash of light which somehow doesn't leave spots in her eyes and then the door immediately reopens to a different hallway.

So much pretty stuff to see! The soft light isn't what she expected but it seems almost heavenly, and the décor is very distinctive and different but really pretty! There's lights everywhere, and it feels comfortable and... she's not sure how to explain it but the angles are all different but not in a bad way at all whatever ancient people made this knew how to make things pretty even if they were using whatever different technology they were using! 

And then they get in the elevator and there's an ipad to pick your destination (does the elevator move sideways maybe?) and then suddenly there's a flash of light and "is that a teleporter?" Jenna asks, shocked. "Did we just use a teleporter to get around? That's..." this is like that Star Trek show or something! "That's amazing!" 

"It's pretty neat. It never quite gets old."

"Bloody unsettling is what it is, less so than the Stargate but I'll never be comfortable with being taken apart and put back together."

Carson and the medical people hustle the bed out of the elevator and into a larger room with several more beds. Most of them are empty but she can see the person who attacked them, Ford, heavily restrained and flanked by two men holding those weird wraith guns at the ready. They nod at Sheppard.

"Marie, can you clean him up and close I want to check on Lt. Ford's test results." He nods towards Ronon.

A pretty Asian woman in what looks like hospital scrubs nods. "Of course, Doctor." She gets out gloves from a drawer and goes to carefully examine Ronon.

And Jenna... is going to go watch her do that! She has no idea what she's watching of course and she knows pretty much for sure now that Ronon is going to be fine but it's her job at the moment to make extra sure of that and so she's going to do that. 

(Aiden being tied up and guarded is reasonable but still makes her worry, he's dangerous and things and they're going to help him but it still feels weird that they're treating their friend this way but he was basically doing bad drugs and stuff and so it makes sense they need to help him feel better and stuff.) 

(Also: this place has teleporters!! That's so cool!!)

Marie notices her watching and gives her a gentle smile but focuses her attention on the patient. She briefly examines the wound to confirm there's no major bleeding and then gets out a headlamp to get a bit more light on things. She uses her fingers and a small metal tool to poke around the wound briefly and then apparently satisfied she gets out a needle and thread and deftly sews his skin closed. She puts a bandage over the site after that and secures it with surgical tape. Finally she signals another nurse over and together they roll Ronon onto his side and into rescue position.

"Your friend will be fine ma'am."

Jenna doesn't really have much in the way of medical knowledge (though she could! She could learn if she wants to now!) but as far as she can tell (which isn't much but still) the nurse is doing a good job and there's nothing to worry about (not that there was anything to worry about before, these are clearly good people). "Thanks for looking after him!" she says brightly. She starts to put out her hand to shake and then pulls it beck when she realizes that's probably not sanitary at the moment. "I'm Jenna! Jenna Sawyer. Nice to meet you!" 

"You're welcome. I'm Marie Choi. It's nice to meet you. How did you come to join us?"

How open should she be about things? Is this like an organization where everything is classified and stuff (they did say people on earth don't actually know about this stuff but that's not the same as people here not knowing) but they didn't tell her not to say stuff so it's probably fine if she does right? Someone would tell her if she's not supposed to say anything. "I'm, um, I," why is she suddenly having so much trouble saying things come on she can do better than that! "I'm from another Earth," she says. "I think it's another Earth anyways? I thought it had to be at first I didn't expect to end up anywhere with an Earth at all I didn't know where I was going and I thought it was a different Earth because you didn't have the Avengers movies but then it turns out it's the early 2000s here or something which is just, so long ago and maybe I just went back in time and to another galaxy I don't know how any of this works but I'm here now and if I have to wait like 15 years to go back home and see my mom and dad and brother and sisters and friends again I guess that's how that works and I just..." is she starting to cry? She can't be starting to cry she's on an adventure "but that doesn't matter, I'm here to help, and I'm here." She spins around smiling, arms outstretched, to take everything in. "And here is so amazing!" 

Marie smiles. "That sounds like a lot to deal with. I don't know how to tell whether you came from the same world or not. Maybe there are obvious differences? Do you know who was President back in 2005 on your world?"

Oh! That could work! (Also did she seriously just tell all of that to the nurse why did she do that she wants to be on this adventure she's going to have fun like she always does) "It was, um, Bush," she tells the nurse, pushing her thoughts out of the way. "I think it was Clinton before that? I'm not sure, I wasn't even alive then." 

"The President right now is Henry Hayes so I'm pretty sure this isn't your world."

Oh? Oh! "Oh!!!" A wave of relief passes over her. "Oh good! Oh, thank you!" She's hugging the nurse (it was Marie right?) before she has a chance to think if that was a good idea or not or if Marie wants to be hugged but well it's too late to back out now! She bounces a little in place before letting go. "Thanks so much!" She isn't going to have to wait 15 years to go home or anything probably she's in another world! She hadn't realized everything was so tense but it's fine now. Oh good!!! 

Marie is a nurse, she has been hugged unexpectedly before.

She gently returns the hug for a moment before pulling back with equal gentleness. "You're welcome. I'm glad I was able to help. Would you like a chair while you're waiting for your friend to wake up?"

A great idea! "That would be wonderful, thank you," she says. 

"I'll go get that for you then." She walks off and returns shortly afterwards with what looks like a particularly fancy folding chair but still a folding chair.

"Thank you!" she says, and takes it and unfolds it and sits (hopefully not in the way though someone will probably tell her if she is). Hopefully it won't take too... actually she can just "do you know how much longer he'll be out?" she asks. 

Marie pulls out a tablet and taps on it. "Probably not more than another hour and it could be a lot less depending on his metabolism. Well, unless he's actually running on too little sleep then he might just have fallen asleep."

"I wouldn't put it past him," Jenna says. "He seemed rather alert and restless though I suppose being hunted for a long time would do that and hopefully he's more safe now and doesn't need to worry so much." What must have it been like, always fighting and running? An adventure in some sense but one that didn't seem so fun. Jenna shudders a little. Hopefully her own adventure will go much better. (It has so far!) Though she is... in some senses just as trapped. She could run to this alternate universe earth maybe but that would be wrong and she's here to help. She's gonna help. 

Marie smiles again. "It sounds like he's in good hands. I hope you enjoy your time here in Atlantis."

"I hope to!" she says. (She really does. Really, truly. She's found her adventure and found her evil bad guys and her friends (and maybe more than friends) but she only isn't sure how to begin. For now, she'll begin here, watching Ronon.) 

Marie moves off to do other things shortly afterwards. Doctors and nurses and soldiers have quiet conversations with each other but nobody comes over to talk to her.

Jenna flicks her attention around the room for a while, to Ronon to the doctors to the decor to Ronon again. He's cute, sleeping peacefully, but he can only look at (okay, stare at) him and his muscles and his slow breaths for so long. Cautiously, she takes out the notebook. She might as well tell it everything that happened. 

Hi! A lot has happened in the past few hours or however long it's been (can you tell how much time is passing or is that why you don't mind being left alone for a while) but I think I'm in a quiet enough place to talk. Do you wanna hear about everything? There's so much going on, there's people here from Earth (but not my Earth!) and I fought someone for once and it was weird but kinda cool and maybe I should start at the beginning? And do a journal entry? What do you think?
