disclamer This writer does not own Stargaten SG1, or any of the SG charters. but the OC Ember is MINE. MUHhahaha.
(this story takes place in season 3 right after episode 9 and before episode 10)
Ember flew through the gate.
She rolled down the ramp landing in a crouch. Her head down and mind foggier then normal, she heard the distinct sound of a machine gun chambering a round.
She glanced up to discover that all the soldiers in the embarkation room had there guns fixed on her, with adrenaline fed speed
She reached for her zat'nik'tel".
Finding it gone, Ember instead pulled her 8" military issue knife
It may not cause much damage but she refused to go done with out a fight.
Holding her knife in front of her Ember held herself ready while her mind raced trying and failing to understand the situation She found herself in at the moment.
"Put done the weapon and and identify yourself!" Ember recognized the men who spoke "Lieutenant Stephen? What's this all about?!" Ember shot back.
"Ma'am please put down your weapon and identify yourself" was the only response she got and would most likely receive.
So straightening her stance, knife lowered but still at the ready Ember answered.
"Colonel Ember Jackson, leader of SG 3, New earth"
The room became deathly quiet, it was at this point Ember's body chose to remind her that she had been shot in the left arm, it was only really a bad graze but it hurt like pit but there was nothing to be done at the moment so she pushed the pain to the back of her mind.
The left blast door hissed opened.
Ember shifted slightly facing her right side toward the soldiers and the opening door and shielding her injured arm to a degree.
But when the blast door revealed
General Hammond
Habit compelled Ember to come to attention but she stopped herself midway
"Major General Hammond, Sir"
A very confused General stared at her,
She moved her knife, gesturing to the weapons pointed at her. "Sir what's going on. Where's the rest of my team?" She asked
The still confused General asked instead "Would you like to explain yourself? I do not know where or even who your team is. And In fact to the extent of my knowledge we have no Colonel Ember serving on an SG team or even on this base."
Ember furrowed her brow in confusion noticing for the first time that Hammond's uniform indicated that he was not a major general, only a general
This sent Ember's mind spinning
Confusion/anger/fear/loss filled her
This was not her world she knew enough to know this could be two things
1. This was a trap set by the goa'uld or another enemy,
had some how ended up in anther dimension,
Ember desperately hoped it it was the first option because that meant a greater chance of getting home.
Ember's train of thought was interrupted when Jack O'Neill entered through the blast door on the right she lifted up her knife to a ready position once again. *Are you a goa'uld?* Ember asked in the goa'uld dialect.
When she received only a few blank stares and a few guns being raised again and pointed at her, she assumed they were ether fantastic actors or they were the real O'Neill,
Ember spun the knife in her hand and sheathed it,
She then held both her hands out in front of her palm up
"I want to talk, and I would prefer not to get shot or zatted"
General Hammond nodded and motioned for Lieutenant Stephen and another soldier to escort Ember out of the gate room.
**** 15 minutes later in interrogation room 2***
Ember sat in a rather uncomfortable chair across a table from Colonel Jack O'Neill.
Jack turned on the recorder and made sure the camera was positioned correctly before turning back to her.
Before he could say anything Ember went ahead and started
"My name is Ember Jackson,
I am a Colonel,
I am the leader of SG 3,
And have been a part of this operation for roughly three and a half years, I am not nor have I ever been a host to a goa'uld or tok'ra, and to clarify I do not serve the goa'uld, I do enjoy shooting them on site though. Is that enough for you Sir?" She asked looking straight into the camera.
Jack sat there in silence before nodding and saying. "Listen, you've need understand this is a lot for us to take in especially seeing as non of us have ever seen you before"
Jack explained
"But you came through the gate with the correct identification codes for SG 3. Care to try and explain any of this?"
Ember took a slow breath "I'm sure you've heard Carter theorize and talk and all but drone on about the alternate dimension theory" Jack nodded his affirmation a small smile tugging at his lips.
"Anyway this theory says that there are millions of alternate dimensions based on the different decisions we make, branching off the main dimension like branches from the main tree trunk.
I am from such a dimension where things are quite different from here but similar in many aspects."
Jack's eyebrows were drawn together in confusion but he gestured with his hand for Ember to continue.
"Such as you being an SG team leader, whereas here you aren't even part of the SGC?"
Ember nodded "Exactly"
Jack nodded again "So you're from another dimension where you lead SG 3 and you somehow ended up in our dimension? "Jack sighed "Not that something like this is totally impossible but it's a lot to believe without any real proof"
Ember sighed leaned forward and began to talk very fast "SG1 consists of Jackson, he is an archaeologist he speaks 23 languages, he lived on Abydos for just over a year,He's married to Sha're, Who was kidnapped by Apophis and taken as a host by his wife Amaunet.
Colonel Samantha Carter, she has a Ph.D in theoretical astrophysics, for a short time was the host to the tok'ra Jolinar who died saving Sam's life, her father is major General Jacob Carter.
Teal'c, he is a Jaffa who was once the first prime of Apophis, but betrayed him to save You , , and Samantha Carter ,and the other prisoners of Apophis, Teal'c now serves on SG1, he has saved your teams life's and the whole of earth quite a few times,
he has a son named Rya'c, Bra'tac is the name of his mentor,
He is a great warrior and a good friend. And last but never the lest is you, the leader of SG1 Colonel Jack O'Neill, you were retired until they
un-retired you for the Abydos mission which you went on because your son Charlie had just shot himself and you thought it was going to be a suicide mission, yo."
"Enough!…ok just stop" Jack took a breath and rubbing his face looking suddenly older in that moment.
"Sorry Jack, I really am, but is that enough proof Ja... I mean colonel?"
Jack stood ejected the tape from the camera and turned the recorder off "I believe that's enough for now"
He opened the door "Lieutenant Stephen will escort you to your temporary quarters." Ember stood and saluted but Jack was already down the hall, she let her salute fall and sighed "Well Lieutenant Stephen I guess it's just you and me" she swept her arms in front of her with a forced smile on her face "lead on good sir" with that the two of them made their way to Embers temporary quarters.
Ember wondering all the while if they would believe her, if she was going to be able to get home and above all of her team was safe.
***in the briefing room***
"General, we've met people from other dimension , is evidence of this and my own journey through the quantum mirror." Daniel argued
"Daniel we're not saying we won't give her a chance, we're just saying we have to be careful"
Jack said as he tried to make a quarter stand on its own.
"I believe we should take care, the goa'uld have attempted to deceive us before and will try so again." Teal'c stated.
Daniel sat down "She knows about Sha'ra Jack, and your son, in fact she knows a lot of things that are classified. How could she know those things unless her story is true?" General Hammond stood "Doctor Jackson, your argument has been taken under advisement. For now we'll keep a close eye on her, we'll ask more questions, and we'll verify her story,
Understood?"
All of Sg 1 stood Jack and Carter both saluted, Daniel grabbed his folder and started toward his office.
"Daniel?" Carter called chasing after him, she could tell that he was upset
"Hm?" He replied
turning to face her.
She held out his glasses to him.
"Forgetting something?" Daniel sighed and took them "Thanks Sam"
Carter nodded "No problem Daniel. So what's bothering you so much about this?"
Daniel sighed cleaning his glasses "I don't know Sam, it's just, I've been where she is now, in a reality that was not my own, with people so close to my team and yet so very different." Daniel continued walking toward his office Sam following him.
"If she is telling the truth, then we'll do all we can to help her get back to her own reality Daniel nodded pushing his glasses on "Yeah…if." Sam laughed "Who knows around here." Daniel chuckled "Yeah, anyway thanks Sam"
Carter bumped his shoulder "Anytime Daniel, see around, I have some research to do." Sam veered off down a separate hall "Yeah and I've got some artifacts to date and catalog."
please review and comment.
