She laid on her bed in her private quarters, staring at a picture that was taken during her wedding. She was probably the only person at Atlantis who's husband was Jaffa, She had a lot of convincing to have a traditional wedding for herself and Re'doah. She had to pull strings with the International Oversight Advisory, or the IOA, just to get Re'doah off the base.
