Chapter One: Talking With Thor
Location: Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Colonel Jack O'Neill exited the lift to find Doctor Daniel Jackson waiting for him.
"Hey Space Monkey. What's up?" Jack asked, using his affectionate nickname for Daniel. Daniel rolled his eyes. A youngish man, with brown hair an blue eyes, Daniel had known Jack long enough to put up with anything the older man wanted to throw at him. Jack, with his graying hair and brown eyes, knew Daniel well enough that he could cal him that and get away with it. It was all in jest, anyway.
"A friend of yours is here," Daniel told Jack, "He'd like to talk to you."
Jack raised his eyebrow in a good imitation of their other friend, Teal'c. "Who is it?"
Daniel smiled and led Jack into the briefing room. Jack looked around. A tall, well built man sat in his chair, with a golden tattoo on his forehead. Teal'c, Jack thought. A blond haired woman with blue eyes sat reading a file, looking up and smiling when Jack entered the room. Carter. An older, bald man sat at the head of the table. Hammond. A younger man, with brown hair, sat across from where Jack would sit. Davis. Wait a minute, why is Davis here? Jack looked curiously at the last two seats before breaking into a grin. "Thor, buddy! Long time no see!"
Thor nodded to his favourite Human, "It is good to see you, O'Neill. Although we must stop meeting under such circumstances."
Jack wondered what on Earth the Asgard wanted know. Although knowing Jacks luck they wouldn't want anything on Earth, it's in space, the stuff the Asgard want. Instead, he turned to the other gray alien, another of Thors race that Jack had met. "Hey Heimdall, how goes the sciencey stuff?" Jack smirked as Sam stifled a giggle.
Heimdall nodded, "My research goes well"
Jack frowned as Daniel smiled. Thor must have informed Heimdall of my sense of humor, I didn't expect him to know what I was talking about!
Jack sighed and took his seat. The Asgard were here for a reason, so they'd better get on with it.
General George Hammond waited for Jack and Daniel to sit down, then turned to Thor.
"What can we do for you Thor?"
"In the last four years, there has been a breakthrough in dealing with the Asgard cloning problem. While we cannot conceive children, we were able to meld the DNA of two Asgards, and a new Asgard was created with the knowledge of a long-dead member of our race, one who was a leader and a great scientist. This new Asgard may have the knowledge within him to aid us in the problem," Thor said.
Jack looked closely at the Supreme Commander of the Asgard Fleet, "But there's a catch, right? There's always a catch."
Heimdall nodded, "Unfortunately yes. While we were able to produce the child with our technology, the Replicators were and are still a threat. We were unable to keep the child in the Ida galaxy; for fear that it would fall at the hands of the Replicators. In an effort to protect the child, I took it to my temple on a Protected Planet. I gave it to the one Human on the planet that would not question my request. The daughter of the Head Priest. She kept the child safe and is now the High Priestess at my temple. Now, however, we are in great need of the child's knowledge. He alone may hold the key as to how to destroy the Replicator threat forever"
Daniel looked up at Heimdall, "What do you want us to do?"
Thor looked at Heimdall, and the took over, "We request that you travel through the Stargate to Heimdall's Protected planet and retrieve the child, as well as his guardian."
Sam spoke up, "Why don't you just go to the planet and beam them up?"
Heimdall turned and answered her, "We believe that using our beaming technology would result in mass panic. The disappearance of a High Priestess would not go unnoticed. And we cannot risk showing ourselves to the population. While they are advanced, many of them still believe in the ancient gods. It is our hope that now, as they have become advanced enough to learn who we are, Rachael can help us to explain he truth."
"So this Rachael is the high Priestess?" Jack asked, watching as Heimdall nodded, "Anything else we need to know? Are the Goa'uld attacking the planet? Anything?"
Thor shook his head, "We are not aware of any Goa'uld attacking the planet. As there was on Cimmeria, a defensive weapon has been placed on the planet. You need not worry, it will not harm Teal'c."
Teal'c, serious as ever, said, "And you need no longer worry about me. I no longer carry a symbiote."
Thor turned to Heimdall and spoke to him in Asgard. After a few words, Heimdall turned to Teal'c. "We were unaware of this development. Does this mean that no Jaffa need to carry a symbiote?"
Sam shook her head, "The drug that Teal'c takes, Tretonin, is limited. Not all Jaffa take it. Although we one day do hope to have enough that all Jaffa can take it and be free."
"Would it be possible for us to take a small sample? So that we may analyze it and see if we can render any assistance?" Heimdall said, hoping that the Humans would say yes.
General Hammond nodded, "We should be able to do that. Although I will need to talk it over with a few people"
"Thank you General Hammond," The science-loving Asgard said. Heimdall loved a challenge. Although the cloning problem was his biggest problem yet, if they could find the child, he would be able to attempt to help the Humans and Jaffa.
Daniel turned the conversation back to it's original topic, "Thor, what is the child's name? And how do we now that he is who he says he is?"
Thor bowed his head sadly. Heimdall glanced at his friend before turning back to Daniel, "The child is smaller then most Asgard and looks quite similar to Thor. We used the DNA of a female Asgard and Thors to produce the child through the cloning device. Whilst the child has his own memory, he contains the knowledge of one of the first Asgard, who became the head of the Asgard High Council. One of the most respected scientists and our greatest leader." Heimdall looked at Daniel, knowing that he would be the first to understand, "He was the leader of our race and the leader of the Norse gods on Earth."
Daniels eyes widened as he understood, "Odin."
Jack turned to Daniel and raised his eyebrows.
"Odin, considered to be the supreme god of the Germanic and Norse mythology. He welcomed the dead heroes of battle into his hall, Valhalla. He fathered a few children but his most famous was the thunder god, Thor." The members of SGC looked towards the Asgard commander.
Thor looked back at General Hammond. "Will you assist us?"
What will general Hammond say? Will SG1 help the Asgard? Will they find Odin? Is this starting to sound like an Aussie soap opera? Do I need to get on with the chapters? Yes I do!
Hope you enjoy it! Please review. Constructive criticism welcome.
