SGA - Leadership Role

[cat_77]

I’m home from work today (got to use up days off or lose them).  My hope was to finish up a couple of stories I’ve been working on.  I wrote a drabble instead.  In my defense, it’s not even noon yet. 

 

Title:  Leadership Role

Genre:  SGA, Gen, Drabble (100 words)

Season/Spoilers:  Takes place after “The Siege”

Rating:  PG

Synopsis:  People rarely mention Teyla’s role in the ordeal.

~~~~~~~~~~

 

People rarely mention Teyla’s role in the ordeal, of how foolish Earth was to insist upon the main command staff’s return, leaving only a skeleton crew of new arrivals behind to watch over the city and her inhabitants.  They do not mention the well-timed transmission from another galaxy insisting certain people return else the Athosians claim salvage rights to the abandoned settlement.  They do not mention the near unanimous vote by the inhabitants placing faith in her rule until those whom she trusted returned.

 

Ambassador Elizabeth Weir, Doctor Rodney McKay, and newly minted Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard know the truth.

Yes! I mean, they leave the city in Teyla's care and it isn't really a big point on the show. I like what you've done here. :)

Thank you! It struck me as odd, and then I decided to have some fun with it. :)

Huh. Very interesting. Now I'm having suspicions that the Athosians approve of Teyla being there almost as 'rightful heir to the city', since command of the city and its operations does often devolve to her when Elizabeth and co weren't around (also see the beginning of S4 when they were moving)

Exactly! They put her in charge but, aside from being a member of the main team, what is the reasoning behind it? And why do so many people just accept it? There's so many places you could go with this.
