Hi all, I don't own stargate (unfortuantly) this is not Beta'd so any mistakes are my own. all reviews welcome even critisim. sort of a retake on a story i was doing. crossover with atlantis unfortunatly my muse has completly disapeared on that particular story having some trouble with the atlantis side. anyways here it is revised but only based on SG-1. hope you enjoy! thanks for reading!
It had been rather quiet in the Milky Way after the Ori was defeated, helping the Tok'ra and Jaffa rebuild their nations, plus seeking out the rest of the goa'uld. There wasn't much action going on, the most exciting thing that probably happened this last year was capturing the last of cloned Ba'al's and freeing the host.
It was a lovely ceremony for which General O'Neill managed to reclaim his former glory and go back through the gate witnessing Ba'al's death. Most of all surprising Vala's new found attitude, she offered her services in helping the host recover from years of entrapment. Something that only Vala could probably do, given her past experience.
The only other thing that was even a little bit exciting was when Atlantis made an appearance and decided to settle residence with the open view off the golden gate bridge, that would have been a site.
Not to mention the discovery of another city, which actually turned out to be a mother ship, that could potentially hold more knowledge of the ancients which sent a group of people stuck in a far galaxy onboard a falling ship.
Well that was months ago it has been quiet for the most part, the remaining SG-1 team still exploring distant planets and helping allies after disasters and civil disputes and so forth. Teal'c decided that during the quiet spell at the SGC, he would head back to dakara and try rebuilding the jaffa nation after the events of the Ori there was still much unrest. He had some success and then fractions broke out and the nations divided, taking them back at square one.
Now that Atlantis is back in the Pegasus galaxy. Things have been even quieter these last few months into the beginning of the New Year had been tiresome at best. But more do of boredom and lack of action. Incoming wormhole a voice came through the speakers with the flashing lights and alarm klaxons. Looking up from the paperwork sprawled over the desk. General Landry silently thinking to himself
"More trouble looming around the corner no doubt."
Getting up from behind his desk he walks towards the spiralling staircase leading to the gate room control, taking the last few steps to reach Sergeant Harriman. Before General Landry even opened his mouth, Walter spoke.
"Receiving transmission, its video sir from Atlantis."
"Thanks Walter. Mr Woolsey what do we owe the pleasure?" Landry quizzed.
"I wish that was the case General I'm afraid Atlantis and earth are under attack. We have just scanned what appears to be an armada of wraith hive ships and they appear to be extremely more advanced than that previously encounted. They are a day away from Atlantis and our scans have only just picked them up, i have Rodney investigating. I've sent colonel sheppard and his team to locate Todd to gather further Intel. Sir i believe they are attempting to reach earth. I recommend that your side prepares as well, space and the SGC." Woolsey exclaimed.
"Are you sure that they could reach earth though the milky way dick?"
"Yes i believe so General, Rodney tells me that they have modified their hives, it's the only way to explain why our scans didn't detect them sir. I will contact you if we receive any updates."
"Woolsey, Woolsey."
"Er sorry sir they ended the transmission." Walter explained. with that said the whoosh of the stargate event horizon evaporated.
Giving off a large sigh, he was hoping to at least spend some time with his daughter tonight, as originally planned. But as usual working for the SGC keeping to plans was somewhat of a rarity. Walking back up to his office, and over to his desk. Seeing the red phone he placed his hand on the receiver, bringing it up to his ear, pressing the second number on speed dial.
"Mr. President Sir, I'm afraid Atlantis is under attack from an armada of wraith hive ships, Woolsey has Intel to suggest that they are on the way to earth. Sir i recommend bringing the Hammond into early commission and sending it along with the deadalus to the far edge of the Milky Way as precautionary measures."
General Landry stood silently holding his breath. carefully listening and waiting patiently for the president's approval and any response.
"Yes Mr. President Sir. Mr Woolsey says that they are 24 hours from Atlantis sir... yes sir... thank you sir."
Within a few minutes a blinding flash engulfed General Landry's office, dissipating leaving behind the familiar face of general jack O'Neill.
"I hear there's trouble about hank the president has sent me to help so... here i am in record time i might add." jack smirked.
"Thank you jack, I just got off the phone with the president you got here rather fast. Unfortunately i think that it would be best and it is requested by the president himself that you are promoted to command the Hammond were bring it in early commission." General Landry commented.
"Thank you sir for why do i owe the pleasure of such a rewarding venture." jack chimed.
"About ten minutes ago we received word from Woolsey, explaining that Atlantis is twenty four hours away from being attacked by the wraith. Also they believe that they are heading for earth. Rodney believes this armada of hive ships have got some new technology, the main purpose of it getting to earth."
"And McKay thinks this because..." waving his hand through the air. "Because the hives only got picked up from Atlantis's sensors and there twenty four hours away from Atlantis it's self."
"Ahhhh ok, so who have i got with me SG-1?" jack grinned.
"I thought you'd say that. They are currently off world and Teal'c is still on dakara with the new found council. And Vala is currently still off world with the host of Ba'al helping him reintegrate." Landry said.
General Landry motioning him to walk, O'Neill following him down the stairs. Igniting many of jack's memories some good and some bad. Standing behind Walter he couldn't help but startle him. Walter being Walter is so good at his job he knows who's here ninety nine percent of the time.
"Walter, dial up whatever planet SG-1 is on and get them back here ASAP!"
O'Neill barked making him jump turning round in the process.
"General O'Neill welcome back sir and yes sir right away."
Walter turning back round to the computer inputting the dialling sequence.
"Seventh chevron locked."
Landry placing one hand around the microphone while the other pressed the button, getting the conformation form Walter he spoke.
"Colonel Mitchell we need SG-1 back to the SGC as soon as possible do you read."
"Loud and clear sir, what's the unexpected reason sir." Colonel Mitchell asked.
"SG-1 will be briefed as soon as you've cleared though the infirmary."
"Yes sir will be twenty min's sir... all righty kids you heard him let's head back."
"But Cam these ruins are..."
The conversation being cut of as the stargate powered off. Jack looking over to Landry thinking that Daniel sure hasn't changed one bit still a little space monkey. He gets so excited over lost ruins and civilisations he's just like a little kid in the candy store. He doesn't miss that part of commanding SG-1 one bit. In fact the only thing that he does miss is the action the perilous missions and constant threat to the galaxy and off course earth. Not to mention not having to wear dress blues.
"Right hank i missed lunch. Im gunna head to the commissary, you need me for the briefing?"
"You'll always be welcome to join jack. See your old team and all, you know the times. I think there's vanilla cake today." General Landry exclaimed. Leaving jack drooling over the possibility of vanilla cake.
Walking to the commissary was long winded and took him longer than usual damn he thought he's really not as young as he used to be. But as always didn't blame it on his age for once or his knees but with the stop, starting and small very small idle chit chat. As soon as he bumped into someone that he knew and often used to talk to. That what was keeping him from his vanilla cake. His thoughts were soon interrupted as the familiar voice and red flashing lights. Indicating that SG-1 was home and still he hadn't got his cake. He knew it would take a good while for them to be cleared from the infirmary. Only a few corridors away from the cake he thought he'd pick it up and bring it back to the briefing room. He can't remember the last time he did that, but hey one of the perks of being a General you can pretty much do what you like, within reason of course.
Picking up a tray he came across bowls of blue jell-o, remembering his order to constantly have the shelf full of the stuff. Thinking to himself once more wondering if he should bring some to carter. Without properly thinking it through he placed it on his tray. Walking only a few steps more he came across the last piece of cake left and to his luck it was vanilla. Placing it on his tray Salivating at the same time he spins round on his heel and heads back to the briefing room, getting a few stares along the way, well it's not every day a General walks the halls carrying jell-o and cake.
Walking up the stairs being very careful not to drop his cake, he could hear colonel carter and Daniel placing bets as to what was up.
"I bet it's something to do with Vala." Daniel exclaimed.
"Nah it's got to be Teal'c he needs rescuing from a headache or beating up one of the Jaffa's." Mitchell pitched.
"Argh your all so wrong we gunna be placed on a death defying mission that only SG-1 can handle. And it's about time." Carter huffed.
Reaching the top step of the staircase just stepping all the more quietly with a big smirk on his face, Carter has guessed correctly as always. He could swear that she's physic or something she never seems far from the mark. Opening his mouth he shouted.
"YOU'VE GUESSED IT CARTER!"
Sam jumping at the voice she recognised all too well, Shocking herself so abruptly standing to attention, with cam following suit slowly after, looking at sam trying so hard not to laugh. Daniel continued to sit, swinging on his chair waving his hello.
"Carter i thought i told you once and it's the last time im gunna say it AT EASE." jack smirked also trying not to laugh.
"Yes sir." carter trying to look everywhere but at jack.
Looking at his former 2IC noticing the slight blush on her cheeks and the sweet look of her baby blue eyes he could swear that his heart skipped a beat. Forcing himself to look at Mitchell again trying to regain his composure, again saying ease. Looking over to Daniel, simply nodding, his way of returning Daniel's welcome.
"Sir what do we owe the pleasure. And with cake?" cam eyed.
"Well Mitchell as soon as Landry gets here he'll explain im just here to listen and eat cake and..." looking down at his tray "... blue gloop."
"Jack since when did you like blue jell-o?" Daniel asked.
"Ahhhh i don't, maybe I'll like it." jack squirmed, casually taking a seat next to carter. Everyone except Daniel, who was already sitting, sat down all looking at jack as he grabbed his jello and took a spoonful. His face clearly reading that he didn't like it one bit slowly swirling the disgusting taste in his mouth placing the spoon back in the bowl sliding it to the side where sam is sitting.
"Yep yummy... but carter looks so hungry i couldn't possibly keep it to myself... there you go carter lunch is served."
Grabbing a napkin and discreetly spitting out the jello. Looking around at the table he could see that his acting clearly wasn't as good as he thought, Daniel sniggering, Mitchell alongside him.
"Thank you sir, Th-that's rather generous of you." carter said almost sarcastically. Playing with the spoon that O'Neill not long had in his mouth. Not sure whether to actually eat the jell-o or just leave it to one side. What could she possibly do in this situation without restarting the rumour mill again even though it's her team and her closest friends? She still was unsure as to whether to take his offering or leave it she was hungry she could swear that General O'Neill could hear her stomach rumbling.
Before Carter had a chance to take a spoonful, General laundry appeared out of his office and sat down in the chair after the salutes of course. With a big sigh general Landry spoke. He apologized for taking so long and keeping them waiting but he had urgent matters to discuss with the president this news startled jack as he wasn't aware of what had taken place since he was briefed earlier.
He knew that the few mouthfuls of cake he had gotten would be his last for the day. General Landry went on to explain that they had received an data burst from Atlantis confirming that the new wraith hive ships do contain technology that could help them to reach earth and with what Colonel Sheppard's team has managed to get. The attack could be the hardest Atlantis has ever faced. The president has agreed that the Hammond shall be commissioned early into battle.
General Landry looked over to Carter and said to her that the president himself has asked that she'd be the one to oversee that it is battle ready in less than twelve hours and the rest being handled in flight. And that she would be leaving in twenty minutes via the deadalus.
He then looked over to jack and told him that he too will be leaving in two hours to be briefed over the running of the Hammond. Finally looking over to Daniel and Colonel Mitchell this was the news that he was dreading to give. Telling the number one flag ship team that has saved the planet more times than anyone can count. That they would be split up on to two separate missions aboard to different space craft's. The sheer look on their faces says it all. Daniel being the first to speak, not being military it was always a lot easier for him to complain and disobey orders.
hope you enjoyed the first chapter more to follow as soon as i can. (soon as i have some spare time. if my daughter actually takes her nap!) wishful thinking. thanks for reading.
