Chaos Theory: Chapter One

"Daniel..."

Dr. Daniel Jackson looked up from the large stone slabs on his table in his lab, running a hand through his short, light brown hair and trying to shake himself from his work.

Colonel Jack O'Neill, back on duty after his short hiatus following his injury on P3X-666, stood in his tight, black T-shirt and green uniform pants. "So..." Jack began, his arms crossed over his chest as he leaned on the doorframe. "What are they?"

Daniel put down hsi pencil and tape recorder and he gave Jack one of his typical "I've got something to say, but I'll be damned if I know how to say it" looks. As he stood, Major Samantha Carter was entering, walking over to the other side of his doorframe, her short, blonde hair slightly erratic like always.

"Well, ah," Daniel paused for a moment and subconsciously scratched the back of his arm. "They're definitely gate coordinates." He finished, acting as if he had just announced some great revelation to the two.

There was a pause between them as both Sam and Jack turned to look at each other, both somewhat confused. After exchanging a few more glances, Sam was the one to turn to Daniel, her brow furrowed as she cocked her head slightly.

"Daniel... what else does it say?" Sam asked, trying to get more out of them. This could have been amusing, if it had not been only weeks after Dr. Frasier's death- Daniel shuddered and pushed the thought away.

"Daniel." Jack urged, looking at the scientist as he drifted off.

"Well, um, ah -" Daniel took off his glasses, rubbing his eyes. "That's the problem. They're in Chinese."

"Japanese, actually." A cool voice piped in.

The three humans of SG-1 turned to the door, Daniel putting back on his glasses as they all looked at the figure in the doorway. The new voice was held by a young woman, probably about Sam's age, her long, chestnut hair framing her face, piercing blue eyes locked on the slabs near Daniel.

"Woah, wait, what - " Jack tried to protest at the woman in fatigues before them, but he was blown off as she walked right by him and eagerly looked to the slab.

"Katakana, now that I'm looking at it." She assessed, reaching her hand into her pocket, pulling out a black tape recorder similar to Daniel's. "Definitely katakana. Looks about... Sixth century - "

"Seventh century," Daniel piped up, his hand on his chin as his scientific curiosity got the better of him, warrenting a glare from Jack.

"Oh, now, I see. Dr. Jackson's right. The calligraphy in this phrase would suggest Seventh century." The woman continued to talk into the recorder as Jack continued watching, steadily growing more impatient. "Tsurana- Gake? Who uses gake anymore?"

"All right! That's it! Who the Hell are you?"

"Gyo mokuroku zen sai - " The woman stopped in her musing, and she stood up straight, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear as she turned to face them. "You... you don't know who I am?"

Jack looked at her expectantly, giving a quick shake of his head. "No. No, we don't."

"I guess General Hammond didn't tell you yet." Jack simply rose an eyebrow, and the woman winced, shutting off her recorder with a click. "Dr. Jade Andros, Eastern Linguist and Anthropologist, SG-11. Er," The newly-identified Jade faltered and bit her lip. "I was on SG-11, but now I'm on SG-1, as you can tell."

"Wait, you're on SG-1?" Sam struggled to understand what the woman was telling them.

"And why the Hell did Hammond put you with us?" Jack demanded, annoyed at the fact that he had not been informed first.

"Hang on. You said you were a linguist?" Daniel inquired as he tapped Jade on the shoulder for attention. "What languages have you studied?"

"I can fluently read and write Japanese, Manderin Chinese, Mongolian, Korean, Russian, Indonesian and Polynesian dialects, as well as some Aboriginal."

If it had been possible, Jack's eyes probably would have fallen out right there. Same certainly looked fascinated, but also a little shocked at the new addition to their team. And Daniel? Daniel was simply astounded.

"O'Neill."

The simple, deep voice of Teal'C interrupted the silence of the shocked SG-1.

Jack finally turned to Teal'C, his eyebrow still raised. "Yeah?"

"General Hammond wishes to see us."

Jack nodded and motioned for Sam to follow Teal'C. "You - " Jack said as he turned and pointed to Jade. "Stay here." Jack began to walk out, but he stopped and turned back to her. "And... don't touch anything."

Jack finally left and Daniel watched for a moment before beginning to walk out. He turned to Jade slyly.

"You could translate those, though."

"Daniel!" Jack snapped from the hall.

"I'm coming!" Daniel replied, turning and leaving.

Jade was alone in the room now, and she sighed, walking back to the slabs. Her eyes rested on the small camcorder on the desk, and she felt a pang of guilt well up in her.

"Sir! I thought SG-1 said there were six J'affa!" Jade screamed as she fired on another nearing one.

"I know! Obviously, something's wrong, Doctor!"

"Help!! Doctor Frasier's been hit!! I need a medic!!"

Jade whirled as she heard the panicked voice, and she managed to make out the well-known figure of Dr. Jackson in the woods.

"Sir! Dr. Jackson - "

"Andros, hold the line while I help Jackson!"

"Are you crazy? I'm a linguist, I don't know how to -"

"Just do it!"

Jade snapped her hand up, and she shook her head, turning to focus on the slabs.

"Have a seat." Hammond simply said as the Colonel and the others entered the briefing room, taking their respective seats.

"You wanted to see us?" Jack inquired as he looked to Hammond, his mind still on the nut who was in Daniel's lab.

"Yes. How's the work on those tablets Dr. Jackson found coming?"

"Well, ah-" Daniel started hopefully.

"Fine, sir." Jack said simply, cutting Daniel off. "Just fine."

"Really?" Hammond said, his thick Southern drawl making him sound as disbelieving as he looked.

"Um, no, General." Daniel said, wincing and leaning forward. "It's Eastern... Japanese," Daniel cast a glance to Sam, seeing a faint smile play upon her lips. "I - I can't read it. I don't know it."

"Mmhm. I see. Well, you're in luck. I'm transferring a new linguist to SG-1 for the remainder of this mission. Her name is Dr. Jade Andros, she was on SG-11." Hammond looked over to Jack to see that he was trying desperately not to looked disturbed. "Something wrong, Colonel?"

"No, sir."

"Good. Anyway, she's to be an addition to SG-1 when you've translated the slabs. Dismissed."

Daniel took a deep breath as he turned into his lab, his vision immediately focused on a firm backside facing him. He blinked, and cocked his head slightly as he didn't even realize that he was staring.

"I think I'm getting closer...." Jade said, and it snapped Daniel out of his reverie. He looked up and cleared his throat, adjusting his glasses.

"Really?"

Jade looked up and she turned to face Daniel, smiling. "Oh, Dr. Jackson. Sorry, I was, um," She held her recorder up, blushing and smiling shyly. "Talking to myself."

"I-It's okay. I do the same thing."

"Yeah..." She sighed simply, a few moments of silence passing over them. Eventually, it seemed that both of them got sick of their silence, and they both looked up at the same time.

"So..." They both said, Jade quickly putting her hand to her forehead, sighing.

"Oh, God. I really don't want to do this kind of thing. You first..." She chuckled.

"No, after you." Daniel said, motioning for her to speak.

"Okay... I just wanted to know how the meeting with General Hammond went."

"Oh, it was short. He just told us a bit about you." With that short explanation, Daniel tucked his hands into his pockets and leaned over some, looking at the slabs. "How's the translating going?"

"Oh! Well, I've managed to figure out the dialect and get it into modern. Now, I just have to finish translating it into English."

"Wow... good job." Daniel assessed, unable to really think of what else he could say.

Jade chuckled, and she turned back to the slabs, grabbing a pencil and paper. "Thank you for that stunning and detailed analysis, Dr. Jackson." She coolly comented without missing a beat, beginning to rewind her tape to go back to her fluent Japanese.

After listening to her recorded voice coolly recite Japanese for a few minutes, Daniel looked around absently, and he sighed, reluctantly, and began to back out of the room.

"Dr. Jackson?"

Daniel stopped as Jade stood to look at him, and he rose his eyebrows, curious. "Yeah?'

"Um... I just wanted to say..." Jade bit her lip, and looked to the floor. "Um... thanks for letting me work on this. I've wanted to be on SG-1 for a while... I know it's not permanent, but... thanks for not being uncooperative."

Not quite sure of the meaning, Daniel smiled and shrugged, backing away.

"No... problem."

A few hours later, Sam had gone to Daniel's lab, expecting to see him possibly chatting with the new linguist. This Dr. Andros concerned her actually...she knew nothing about her, other than the fact that she had been on SG-7, one of the few archeological teams. Her expertise was valued... but did it merit a full transfer to SG-1? Sam sighed, shaking her head, and she turned into the lab, stopping long enough to knock on the door.

"Hey, Daniel, how-" She stopped when she looked over to Daniel's desk, finding that Dr. Andros was nearly asleep on Daniel's desk, her hand still moving.

"The... last... coordinate..." She murmured to herself as her Japanese tape continued to roll.

"Doctor?" Sam said firmly, walking into the room and watching as Dr. Andros jumped, dropping her pencil.

"Major Carter!" She gasped as she looked up, standing. "Sorry, I was-"

"About to fall asleep?" Sam countered, folding her arms over her chest.

"I'm afraid so..." Dr. Andros replied with a faint smirk, shrugging and looking over to her tablets. "I'm at the last coordinate... in fact... I wrote it..." Jade looked down to her notes, and she held them up for Sam to see. "See, Major Carter? I've got the coordinates."

Sam paused a moment, and then finally took the notes from Jade, looking them over. "You... you do." She nodded to herself, and then took a step closer to Jade, patting her on the shoulder. "Good job, Andros. I'll take this to General Hammond."

"Chevron 7, locked."

The team of SG-1, including their new addition, stood in the control room, all of them watching as with a rush of light, the Stargate created its signature and eluvise sideways fountain of water, finally resting as a pool contained in the ring.

"Receiving MALP telemetry." Someone said from the controls, causing Jade to look up from her pondering. Within moments, the computer screens showed static, and she turned a stray gaze to Colonel O'Neill and the others to see their reactions. Seeing that O'Neill was stony and attentive and that Daniel seemed fascinated, she turned to look at the screen, her eyes widening.

The MALP was showing a formation of what looked like an old Shinto temple, and Jade nearly took a step closer, stopping only when she realized how informal it would be.

"Oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen. The planet is habitable." Carter said as she looked at the display before her.

"Good." General Hammond said, nodding and turning to look to SG-1. "Report to the Briefing Room at 1400."

Jack turned to look over to Dr. Andros, trying to make sure that she was still there and not off wandering around the Stargate. Sure enough, she stood there in the Gate room, silently checking her palm pilot and adjusting the the camoflage cap on her head. Sam was checking her P-7, probably also running mission objectives in her head, and Teal'C was standing there, well... being Teal'C. Upon further investigation, Jack realized that he couldn't immediately see where Daniel was, and he turned, furrowing his brow.

Daniel was leaning on the wall, looking over some of Jade's notes, his expression exceptionally curious. After having realized that there was a repository of knowledge on an Ancient world that they would be visiting once this mission was over, Jack didn't think that Daniel would ever be curious again.

The sounds of the Stargate locking onto the symbols made everyone look up, and Daniel rushed over towards Jack and Teal'C, folding the notes up and putting them in his big, black journal. As the last symbols locked, Jack slipped on his shades as the Stargate "flushed sideways," and Dr. Andros involuntarily flinched.

"Good luck, SG-1." General Hammond's voice echoed throughout the room as Jack, Sam and Teal'C all readied their weapons, and they began to march towards the Stargate. The orders of investigation of the temples and retrieval of data echoed in Jade's ears as she followed Daniel, and they were through.
