Who Are You? [open]
That question would've been easier to answer a few years back. Maybe when I was a younger man.
These days? Colonel Marshall Sumner, USMC -- deceased.
I was forty-five when I died. Born '58, died 2004.
Guess you'll wanna hear about that.
I was one of the original members of the Atlantis expedition, led by Dr Weir. Good woman. New to command back then, but damn sure of herself. If she had any doubts, I didn't hear about them. Anyway, I was her military commander. Which didn't stop her overruling me on the subject of Sheppard. Looks like she was right about him, but I'm not talking about him right now. Or her, come to that.
The expedition was successful. We made it to Atlantis, got ourselves set up. Turned out we were underwater and losing power fast -- time came fast we had to go looking for other options. We found the Athosians, and then the Wraith found us.
The Wraith Queen didn't kill me. Sheppard did. He took the shot, and yeah, it was the right thing to do. It was also the end of my life in Pegasus. The expedition went on without me, and I'm just cooling my heels while I figure out what happens next.
Friends call me Mack.
