Gateway Tryst Part One: Daniel

C1: 'Situations'

A/N: Warning this fiction series that takes place at the middle of season 8 and is actually a fantasy fiction regarding characters of the SGC in the Stargate Realm. This is rated R, so don't read any further if this ratting has ever offended you. I have no wish to offend, but to express desires and thoughts I have had concerning the Hot Hottie Hot members of the SGC. Please enjoy this darker area from the regular PG. This chapter takes off from ideas in my other fiction, After Icon.

SGC

Daniel was having difficulty understanding this situation. He was working on a new alien device that appeared to be from the Ancients, but he found a few words that appeared to be of a different origin. He translated the Ancient into his notebook and did his best over the period of two weeks to translate the other words.

The alien device measured exactly a foot and one inch in diameter, width and height. It was a perfect cube. On all sides, the Ancient text was dominant except for one. This panel was even a dark indigo in contrast to the rest of the cube, which was a deep rich burgundy. Daniel marveled that all sides of the cube's surface appeared to have a liquid metal consistency, which moved even though it was solid. He had even tested the strength of the material to find out its strength. As far as he could tell, it was indestructible and even an atomic bomb could not chip the outer casing.

On this particular morning, Sam had asked Daniel if she could examine the seemingly Ancient device. When she arrived, she was pleased to find that Daniel discovered that the writing on the indigo colored side was a hieratic of Ancient. He had taken the day before to make sure his translation of that side was as close as possible.

"So you translated it after all?" Sam inquired while handing Daniel a cup of orange juice.

"Yep, I found it to be a hieratic form of Ancient that was used in formal writings by their priests." Daniel handed her a copy he had made her of the translation.

"Does it tell why one side is a different color or give any clues as to what it is used for?" Sam started reading the translation.

"Nope, it just talks about a Gateway on the red sides and exploration on the blue." Daniel picked up the device and turned it over, as his eyes were temporality mesmerized by the liquid surface under the outer casing.

Daniel started reading the Ancient sides out loud then the blue side. The device shook slightly and almost unnoticeably as he was taking a step to place it on the desk. He loosened his grip on the artifact when he felt the vibration that caused him to lose his sight. It fell to the floor and rolled to the wall that was near by and landed blue side up.

Sam watched as Daniel started blinking and touching his eyes and wondered what was going on. He stumbled forward and there was a flash of blue light that pierced the room.

Sam opened her eyes, and Daniel was gone. "Daniel. Daniel!"

Sam gazed slowly at the device as if it might attack her next. She closed and locked the door. She reached around the side of the wall to get a phone to notify Jack as she knew he was already on his way there. She met him in the hall and told what she had seen. He then had the room searched and gone over for any clues besides the alien cube. There was nothing. They knew the cube was the key to Daniel's situation.

Somewhere (Daniel had no clue)

Daniel stumbled forward blindly till he fell on his hands and knees. Upon impact when he landed, he moved his fingers cautiously as he felt grass under them. His vision slowly returned to him as he got to his feet by holding on to a tree. With his vision almost completely restored, he gazed up into the tree he had used for leverage to stand.

To Daniel's discomfort, the leaves of the tree were various shades of deep scarlet. His thoughts centered on the fact that it was still warm out, so why did the trees look as though it was Autumn?

Daniel turned around after hearing a light noise. An animal, which resembled a rabbit, paused to contemplate Daniel. It was satisfied he posed no immediate threat and started scurrying around in search for food.

Daniel smiled and looked around again, "We're not in Kansas anymore Todo."

A/N: Later on in this fiction there will be a romantic situation. Be warned, which means rated R.

I hope you enjoy and let me in on what you think of this fiction so far. I can't wait for Season 9 to begin!

Smile at the Stargate,
