She stood in the ruins, her hand running across her neck, still feeling the loss of its presence. Taken from her by someone she trusted and cared for. Now it was gone and she was going to do whatever it took to get it back.
Running her fingers through her long brown hair, she took out a tie from her pocket, tying up her hair in a ponytail. The blazing sun making it difficult to wear it down any longer!
They'd tracked the thief to P30983, after using the dhd device that Sam Carter had created 10 years before. Now they could pinpoint any gate address, but had missed them by minutes. This particular planet had been wiped out by the Ori a long time ago and hadn't fully recovered. The remaining population dying out before aide could be sought. She couldn't help but feel humbled by it all. In the few short years she had been using gate travel, she had practically seen it all. But seeing such devastation was a little heartbreaking.
As she looked around, she sighed, again feeling the empty space at her neck. It had been a present from her father when she had been assigned a position on one of the SG science teams. Having been fast tracked. She had graduated high school at 15 and college at 18 and her PHD at 22. The perfect candidate for the Stargate Program!
Taking off her glasses, she looked at the slim lenses, almost undetectable, rubbing them on her sleeve, trying to clean them. Inheriting her bad eyesight from her father as well as her love of archaeology!
"Doctor Jackson," A voice called out to her in the distance.
Kennedy Jackson turned her head, seeing her colleague standing next to the dhd.
"We've identified their gate address. We're ready to go when you are?"
Kennedy nodded, putting her glasses back in. In an instant they seemed to disappear completely, blending in to her facial features. She strode over to the rest of her team, where they were waiting, eager to find the thieves they had all claimed to call friends.
Now her journey was really beginning.
