Teaser #2 Aesthetic<\/h2>\n

Jean Luc Picard stared at the person in front of them, wondering if he missed something in the briefing. \u00a0He glanced at his second, trying not to snicker at Riker trying his hardest not to react.<\/span><\/p>\n

“You’re late.” Riker pointed out, inwardly cringing at the accusation, he just had no idea what else to say. \u00a0They had been at the Grey Heaven’s docks for an hour.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was ignoring Picard’s side-eye, and the snickering he could hear from at least two of the crew members behind him.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Wizards are never late, nor are we early. \u00a0We arrive precisely when we are meant to.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Are you kidding me?” \u00a0Riker shut his mouth in horror of what just came out of it. \u00a0“I apologize, I didn’t quite get your name.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Gandalf.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Seriously?” <\/span><\/p>\n

Picard glared at his second, then turned towards the wizard. \u00a0And that was the thing, he was standing in front of a bonafide wizard. \u00a0Not that it should be that shocking, he had actually met Dresdon once, add in his own family line that tied into Mutants, and Charles Xavier – seeing a wizard or an alien isn’t shocking.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was the fact it was Gandalf the Grey.<\/span><\/p>\n

As if he just stepped into the Lord of the Rings book.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which considering the fact he knows Aragorn and Boromir – it still shouldn’t be shocking, but somehow this just seemed weirder than usual.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Gandalf, I’m Captain Picard and we’ve been sent by the Federation, with cooperation from the Jedi Council to check on you and the inhabitants, as the Separatists have been moving through this territory and according to our briefing, this planet requests to be mostly left alone.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“I had received reports from Yoda about this Separatist movement, but so far they have not shown themselves here, and if Dooku wants to try … well I kicked his ass when we were in classes.” \u00a0Gandalf leaned against his staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Wait your a Jedi?” \u00a0Riker was now completely confused.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Yes. \u00a0How do you think I pull of the ‘Wizard’ part of this job. \u00a0This planet is well protected, once they got rid of the \u2026”<\/span><\/p>\n

“One Ring?” He asked before he could stop himself. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Yes.” \u00a0Gandalf was giving Riker an odd look. \u00a0“The people of Middle Earth came together, Hobbits, Dwarves, Elves, and Man to dump the Ring into the fires of Modor. \u00a0I’m not sure if it was destroyed, but the Goa’uld was not coming through it anymore that was for sure.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“The one ring is a Stargate?” \u00a0Riker couldn’t help the smile. “That’s amazing\u2026”<\/span><\/p>\n

Gandalf looked at Picard. \u00a0“What is with him?”<\/span><\/p>\n

“We have a book series, called The Lord of the Rings back on Earth – it’s the story of Frodo Baggins taking the One Ring to Modor to be destroyed, except it was an actual ring.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“I could see that, considering how many of those were stolen from their homes. \u00a0Then must know, from that moment on there has always a Frodo Baggins, Aragorn, and Gandalf \u2026 which at this moment in time is me.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“You weren’t born Gandalf?” \u00a0Picard asked.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Heaven’s no. \u00a0I fit the part, and accepted the role. \u00a0This is more my retirement. It’s usually very quiet only times when the Dragon acts up, or the Elves and Dwarves poke at each other. \u00a0But if these Separatists think they can come here to cause havoc. The people of this world will unite and fight back.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Would you show us around?” \u00a0Picard asked, shocking Riker. \u00a0“We can change if need be.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Sure. \u00a0You can play the role of Rangers.” \u00a0He grinned waving his staff, motioning for them to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Sir\u2026” Riker stepped closer to him, voice quiet.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Tell the men we’ll be staying for a while.” \u00a0Picard informed him. “It will just be you and me.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“What is going on?”<\/span><\/p>\n

“What’s going on is, I just found my Mate, and he’s a wizard.”<\/span><\/p>\n
