This is my first fanfic. Hope you enjoy it!
Chapter One
Daniel Jackson sat at his desk studying a piece of parchment. This was an everyday routine for him, especially since he came back from the last mission with SG-1. Lines of curiosity formed on his features as he attempted to translate the parchment. He wrote the translations down in his notebook and studied them carefully. He was in the middle of translating the words when his teammates walked through the door.
"Jackson, Laundry's about ready for us in the briefing room." Cameron Mitchell said, leading the rest of the team into Daniel's office.
"Okay, I'll be there in a sec." Daniel replied, not really paying much attention.
"I don't think he'll be ready." Vala whispered to Mitchell loud enough for Daniel to hear.
"I would be if you would shut up." Daniel replied looking at the dark haired teammate with a glare.
"What are you working on Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c asked with a slight smile. Mitchell rolled his eyes in exaggeration and Vala dropped her head back in annoyance.
"I'm translating this parchment, we found at PX4-693." Daniel answered with a look of complete curiosity on his face.
"What is the problem, Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c asked stepping toward his friend. The others stepped forward as well.
"I'm not sure, but I believe the Ancients have broken one of their rules." Daniel said looking up at his friends.
Chapter Two
"What is this all about?" General Hank Laundry asked coming out of his office and sat in his chair.
"Well, sir, Jackson has discovered something that deserves looking into." Mitchell said looking directly at the General.
"Well where is he?" Laundry asked searching for the Doctor.
"I'm right here, General" Daniel said coming through the door not even looking up. He looked up with the look of pure confusion lining his features.
"Doctor, I don't like that look on your face." Laundry said. He knew the doctor well enough to know that if Daniel was confused it usually was not a good sign.
"General, I think we may have a problem." Daniel replied setting his notes on the table and then sitting down with Vala on his left, Mitchell across him with Teal'c to the left of Mitchell. Only one member was not present.
Colonel Samantha Carter was attending a preliminary hearing in Washington D.C. determining whether or not removal of the Goa'uld within former vice president Kinsey was necessary. The government believed since the parasite was inside one of their own, they could reach an understanding and in return for sparing the life of the Goa'uld, he would divulge certain information about the trust organization still in operation. Carter had attended the hearing with General Jack O'Neal, so in the eyes of the rest of the team she was well guarded, not that she needed protection. She could handle herself rather well.
General Laundry sat in his usual chair looking at the Doctor waiting for him to tell what the problem was.
"What is the problem?" Mitchell asked leaning forward on the table.
"Well, it's not necessarily a problem per say. It is more of a disaster."
"Speak clearly, doctor." Laundry said in agitation.
"Okay, here is a little review, before we get started." Jackson said handing Laundry a folder.
"As we all know, this world was inhabited by the Ancients or the Alterans thousands of years ago, and during that time a plague nearly wiped out their race. Now some of them ascended and some did not."
"Get to the point, Doctor." Laundry said.
"Okay, well the Ancients or the ascended Ancients created these rules. Their most important rule was not to interfere in the lives of the people in the lower planes of existence. Now, we know that some of the ancients have broken this law. Oma does by helping people ascend. Morgan le Fay did by helping us find Merlin's weapon and then by destroying Adria." Daniel said with a glance to Vala.
"And you did by helping us locate the eye of Ra." Mitchell said.
"Well yes, but that doesn't count."
"Why not? You were ascended. That is ancient." Mitchell replied sitting up straight.
"Gentlemen, please." Laundry interrupted. "Continue, doctor."
"The rest of the Ancients usually disapproved of such manners with which they would punish those who had broken the law. However, what I just found out today disapproves that." Jackson said while opening the folder in front of him. He looked at each member of his team before continuing. "The Ancients are returning to earth."
