"Forgiven"
Ch. 3
(SGC, 'Gate Room)
The doors slid open and Aurora appeared. She stepped into the 'Gate Room. The three of her team members looked at one another and grinned.
"Morning boys!" she greeted them animatedly.
"Welcome back, AJ," Colonel DeGraw said.
"It feels good to be back, Steve," she said. Aurora then turned to her other two team members. "Matt, you little psycho, you're still around?" she grinned.
Lt. Tate grinned slyly and laughed.
"Well, somebody has to do it," the Lt said.
"Unfortunately, it's you," a woman's voice said from behind the Lt.
Captain O' Conner hugged AJ.
"How are the girls?" she asked.
"They're fine," Aurora said. "I'm suffering from separation anxiety though, Kate."
"SG-6 you have a go!" Hammond's voice came from the Control Room.
The four headed up the ramp, paused for a moment, and then they went through the Stargate.

"So, what did the MALP say about this lovely planet?" Aurora asked, gazing around.
"Trees, trees, and more trees," Lt. Tate said.
"Duh," she said. "I meant the culture, dumb-ass."
"Hey, don't start, you two," Colonel DeGraw warned.
"According to the Tok'ra, there's a Goa'uld pyramid here. They say that it hasn't been used in a few hundred years. They want us to find out why," Captain O' Conner explained.
"Who ruled here before it was abandoned?" Aurora asked.
"Your favorite System Lord," the Lt said sarcastically as the group started walking.
"Crap," AJ sighed.
"Hey, you're the one who complained that we had the boring missions," the Colonel said.
"That was before I got pregnant with triplets. Now everyday seems like an adventure in it self," she said. "By the way, I got a new power."
"What is it?" Steve asked.
"I'm a Telekinetic and I discovered a neat trick," Aurora said.
"Show us," Matt urged.
"Okay," she looked up at the trees, looking for the strong enough branch.
When she found one, she closed her eyes and concentrated hard. Aurora lifted her arms up and she started to float. Moments later she was on the branch. AJ took the opportunity to look around.
The pyramid sat in the distance. She heard a noise from above. Aurora glanced up and saw a Mother Ship coming towards them. She jumped off and landed softly on the ground.
"Excellent, AJ!" Steve said enthusiastically. But, quickly noticed the worried expression on her face and asked, "What is it? What'ya see?"
"There's a Goa'uld Mother Ship coming this way," she said. "Estimated time of landing is about 6 hours, give or take."
"Why would he come back?" Matt asked. "There's nothing left here."
"Yes there is," Kate said.
"What?" the Lt. Asked.
"Me," Aurora said.

(A/N: I was busy all weekend cause I went to the Con in Burbank and I have classes now. I will reveal the Goa'uld in question in the next chapter. Review as always! And thanks for being patient with me lately.)
