CH1: unexpected visitor

[SGC 2002]

"General, sir, we've got an incoming wormhole."

"Do we have an iris code coming through?" Carter asked as General Hammond approached the computers.

"All our teams, except for Dr.Jackson's and sg-7 are home for thanks-giving holiday," General Hammond commented. The nerdy sergeant at the computer readjusted his glasses.

"Er, General, Sir. You're not going to believe this." The nerdy sergeant commented. "It's an SG-5 signal sir."

"That's impossible!" carter exclaimed. Jack entered the room after hearing the commotion from the briefing room.

"Anything wrong campers?" Jack asked calmly.

The nerdy guy quickly cut in. "Should I open the iris sir?" he asked. After getting a nod from general Hammond, the iris opened. General Hammond, Jack, Sam and Teal'c made their way to the briefing room, followed by a whole battalion of guards with machine guns.

For a moment there was nothing.. then someone walked backwards out of the shimmering pool of water. A person in army gear walked backwards down the ramp, tripped over their own feet, and it wasn't until the feminine yelp was heard, that they knew it was a girl. She fell flat on her back, not letting go of her brown leather bag. Jack walked up to the girl and stood next to her, looking down.

"Well hello there." Jack smiled. The girl adjusted her hat so that it was out of her eyes. She looked back up to see jack's hand outstretched, offering to help her up. She smiled n took his hand. Jack hoisted her up. Hammond gestured for the guards to lower their weapons.

"So ya gotta name?" Jack asked.

"Nat.. I mean lieutenant Natalie Manslow," she replied. She looked around with a very confused look on her face. "I gather this is the alpha site?" she asked. General Hammond thought she might be nuts. "No, this isn't the alpha site. This is stargate command. And I would like to know how you came through with an sg-5 iris code!" General Hammond bellowed. Nat looked confused.

"Sg-5? With all due respect sir, I am a member of SG-1. I came through with an sg-1 code. Professor Jackson told me to use my code even though there's no iris on the alpha site yet."

Carter, Teal'c and O'Neill all looked at the girl with confusion. "Did you just refer to Dr. Jackson?" Teal'c asked, eyebrow raised.

Carter's eyes lit up. "Sir!" she squealed at Hammond. "I sense Naquada in her blood!" Nat looked annoyed.

"Of course there's Naquada in my blood! I was a Tok'ra! Everyone knows that! It's in the SGC records! And yes I referred to professor Jackson! He's my friend!" Nat said defensively.

"Look, this conversation's getting nowhere. Sir, I'd suggest moving this conversation to the briefing room," O'Neill suggested. Hammond agreed. Nat was escorted to the briefing room, with Teal'c behind her incase she was trouble.

[briefing room]

"Okay lieutenant Manslow. If you please, could you please explain to us, from the top how you got here?" General Hammond ordered. Nat put the worn out brown bag onto the briefing room table and sat down.

"Okay. Let's see.. well I'm going to assume you have no idea who I am or where I came from. My name is Natalie Manslow. Daughter of Major-General Manslow, the commander of the space combat program. I was selected in year 10 to complete my final years at Colorado SGC army training program. My tutor and friend Professor Jackson knew everything about the Gould and helped me to the stargate just as the Gould were invading us. He gave me this bag with his journals, instructing me to read them only after I got through the gate and he told me to take my transmitter so that on the other side they would realize I'm from sg1. I thought it was a bit odd because the alpha site gate doesn't have an iris. Professor Jackson and I managed to get to the SGC so that we could escape to the alpha site wit the others. Professor Jackson dialed the alpha site while I waited in the gate room. I ran through the gate, but I guess he didn't follow. They must've got him. Next thing I know, I'm here and talking to you guys."

"Doctor Daniel Jackson?" O'Neill asked. Nat nodded.

"Do you know him?" she asked. Just then, the sirens rang. It was an incoming wormhole.

"Well that should be Danny boy coming back now." Jack smiled. Nat was confused. Everyone made their way to the gate room.

"Dr Jackson! How is the excavation going?" General Hammond asked. Daniel took off his bandanna and ruffled his short-cropped hair.

"Oh as well as a hundred degree day could go." Daniel replied. He looked suspiciously at the young army-clad girl and looked at Sg-1. "Friend of yours?" Daniel asked.

"On contraire Danny, this girl claims to be YOUR friend. Lieutenant Natalie Manslow, this is Dr. Daniel Jackson. Danny, this is Lieutenant Manslow," Jack introduced. Nat looked confused. So did Daniel.

"Um.. that's not professor Jackson," she said.

"I'm not?" Daniel replied in an oh-yes-I-am voice.

"The Professor Daniel Jackson I know is a sixty year old man!"
