Tis the season for sequels, I wanted to have Michael be the villian, but that wouldn't have worked out, any way read, review, enjoy.
Stargate Atlantis: Ark of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1 - Daniel's News
SGC - Carter's Lab
Carter worked in her lab at Stargate Command.
Teal'c walked in.
"Am I interrupting?" The Jaffa asked.
"Going over some old mission report, from when I was in Command of Atlantis." Carter replied, then turned from the stack of files.
"What can I do for you?" Carter asked.
"Colonel Mitchell, and Daniel Jackson noticed you have eaten very little today." Teal'c began.
"I know, but, I've been busy, and. . ."
"And yesterday, and the day before that." Teal'c interrupted.
"I see your point." Carter said, something was obviously bothering her.
"You have not been the same since returning from Atlantis." Teal'c observed.
". . .I keep seeing flashes of a man in my mind." Carter started. "I don't know who he is."
"How long have you had these manifestations?" Teal'c asked soberly, after a brief but poignant pause.
"About three or four days." Carter replied. "Now something else is odd. These mission reports, I have no memory of filing them, or even writing them." Carter began.
Teal'c raised his eyebrow in intrigue.
"As far as I can tell, I have a memory gap of about six days, maybe seven." Carter started.
"I too, have noticed certain inconsistencies." Teal'c admitted, certain something was amiss.
"I'd better go talk to General Landry." Carter said, then walked out the door followed by the hulking Jaffa.
Stargate Command - Briefing room
"You wanted to see me?" General Landry asked.
Carter was hesitant to reply.
"It doesn't have anything to do with Colonel Mitchell and Dr. Jackson's recent 'concerns', does it?" General Landry asked.
"Yes, sir." Carter started, but something was wrong. Carter was awake, but unresponsive. Lights seemed to grow brighter, then the lights faded. Carter was standing on the balcony over looking Atlantis, and there were words on the winds. "There is a ship." the words echoed.
The sound of rushing water filled Carters ears, and she turned to see a whirlpool in the distance the whirlpool seemed insignificant, but Carter felt a little apprehensive.
"Hurry, you must find the ship, they won't let me hold this off much longer!" the voice called.
Soon the whirlpool expanded into a maelstrom that could effortlessly swallow the Gigantic Lantean city.
Carter's breath caught in her throat.
"Colonel Carter?" General Landry asked.
Carter snapped back to Stargate Command.
"Are you alright?" General Landry asked.
Carter was in shock.
"I was standing on the central spire of Atlantis." Carter began.
"And there was this whirlpool. It must have been at least thirty miles across, and it looked like it stretched down to the sea bed."
"That's one big whirlpool." General Landry said browsing at a file he was reading over, he seemed skeptical. But knew Carter well enough to know if she was crazy.
"I'm just estimating the distance across, Sir. It covered the length of the horizon." Carter explained.
"And Dr. Lam can't find anything wrong with you?" General Landry asked.
"No, sir." Carter replied.
Carter paused, then spoke. "Sir, this has been going on for several days."
"I read the initial reports." The General Admitted.
"The only way I'm going to understand it to go to Atlantis." Carter said, hoping Landry would grant permission to go back to her former command.
The General sat back in the chair, clasped his hands, and placed his forefingers on his chin.
"Dr. Jackson was running late. Something he found on P9X-389 lead him to believe there is information about an artifact of 'Historic Value' hidden in Atlantis' database. I've given him the green light."
General Landry thought for a second. "I want you to accompany him to Atlantis. Dr. Jackson will brief you on the way. The Apollo leaves tomorrow." then added "And while you're away, I want you to look at some plans the former Ori followers have given us, and pick a suitable site. They've offered to build a Supergate in the Pegasus galaxy."
"How did that go over?" Carter asked, pushing the thought of the giant water vortex out of her mind.
"The I.O.A. was hesitant, but the Prior said that they could equip all of the Supergates with a shield. They caved. I guess sending ships to Atlantis in a matter of hours, rather than weeks was too much for them. President Hayes gave us the green light." General Landry replied as Daniel walked in.
"Nice of you to join us, Dr, Jackson." General Landry offered.
"I'm just going to get to the point." Daniel said, he seemed more excited than he was on his first trip to Atlantis.
"I think I found it." Daniel began.
"Found what, Dr. Jackson?" General Landry started is his impatient/bored tone.
"The Ark of the Covenant."
My first thought was the Ark of Truth, but that seemed the most logical choice that everyone would choose, and I do things that nobody else does, so, yeah.
I won't reveal the true villian until very late in the story. Mwuahahahahahaha!
