Chapter Four
Area 51
Sam returned her home and relaxed, making it look like she had taken a vacation to her brother Mark's.
"Daniel, its Sam could you call me when you get back. Thanks"
Carter hated deceiving her husband/boss but it was necessary to protect him from any backlash they may happen if it all fell apart. Jack was very glad to see his wife after she snuck thru the Tok'ra tunnel they had constructed between their homes.
"Sam I am sorry I did everything I could to prevent you from having to help strip Atlantis. Yelling at the IOA did no good they want you skinned alive and your head mounted on a wall, hell I even went to the President to get the IOA to back off.
It is his last term I figured he would back me on this. Hayes said he could not; it would not work, there were too many powerful people wanting this. At least I was able to put you in charge of the whole ball of wax; you will have complete authority of removing components from the city. They told me if you do a good job you will get your command of the Hammond back."
Sam was secretly glad Jack was not able to stop her transfer. Going to Atlantis gave her the chance to start on the third part of her plan. Jack had the weekend off and both of them stayed home and enjoyed each other's company.
On Monday morning, Samantha reported Area 51 for her new ID badge. The level of access she was afforded even surprised her! Unlimited access to both area 51 and Atlantis! Jack must have really hit a nerve somewhere, what did he do threaten to quit? Sam would not have been surprised if he did.
"Good morning everyone some of you know me, for those that do not my name is Colonel Samantha Carter. I have been put in charge of this project by General O'Neill. Before we start are there any problems or concerns anyone has? According to the schedule that has been drawn up, we are 3 weeks behind as of now. I understand not wanting to tear this grand old city apart. There is just no getting around doing it. If someone dragging is his or her feet you will find yourself reassigned to another post! I am usually easy to get along with just do your jobs and we will have no problems. Is that clear?" There was grumbling thru out the group.
Sam was thinking
"'O'boy I have really got my work cut out with this group."
"Now can someone please tell me where I can find Dr. Zelenka?"
One voice called out.
"Colonel he quit, everyone could see the disgusted look on his face because of what was happening here"
Sam could not see who said that, they left too quickly. At the end of the day Sam stuck around to write up her report of the removal schedule, saying it was too unrealistic and it needed to be revised since the work-crew was so far behind. She knew the report would go to Gen. O'Neill first and he would agree with her expertise on Ancient systems. It did not matter that they were married they argued about how things should be done all the time it made their marriage lively, giving them all the more reasons to makeup later.
Sam stayed at Atlantis till after midnight so she could access the forbidden systems locked away from everyone else, looking for the replicator creation systems. The systems were placed in an area that was lock-downed to only people with the highest security clearance.
"Damn this is going to make my plan harder it will record that anyone was here, I need to get into the code for the replicators to make the restrictions on their programming so they cannot screw up my plan. Carter think: how to get around the lockout system, aahhh OK this system has a weakness there that's got it! Now the replicators will help me do what I need without having to rely on other people, the less anyone knows the better."
Sam took the code to the central computer core room and made the changes so the replicators would obey her commands and not reveal her plan or themselves to anyone she did not want them to. Taking the changed code back to the fabricator for the replicators and placing the crystal in the slot telling it to create twenty-five Asuran Human form replicators. When it finished the first one, Carter being a Star Trek fan named it Data.
"Go to Atlantis's core room and download the complete database to the backup crystals that were kept there. Then delete all activity logs report back for further instructions."
When it returned her next instruction was.
"Slip into area 51 copy all the computer data from their version of an Ancient data terminal containing experiments scientist on Earth had done including all of the improvements to Asgard and Ancient technology. Then slip out unnoticed to a hiding spot, you will be beamed it up to the mother ship once it is in orbit. Avoid ANY human contact; keep all the crystals hidden in the pouch in your body. The other human-forms are to be told, go the areas stripped to the bulkheads and remain hidden avoiding all contact with anyone except Sam.Ok she thought.
"This section of part three is complete the plan is working, Sam ol' girl it's a good thing you did not write of this down. Jack would be pissed if he knew what was up! Still a long way to go to complete this and get away from the madness this world is heading for."
The next day Daniel finally came back from being off world. He called Sam up. "What's up Sam?"
"Hi Daniel, Can you to come over for? I am having a party for Cassie's returning from college for spring-break to surprise her."
Daniel knew that having a party was a code phrase for needing to see him without anyone knowing about it.
"What time and were Sam?" Carter knew she had to be careful about where they met, but her secret lair in the Tok'ra tunnel under her house to Jack's house had several rooms hidden off of it.
"Daniel could you meet me at my house tomorrow around seven in the evening with today being Friday; and the weekend here, it will be Monday before I have to go back to Nevada, just need to pick up a few things for the party. Oh could you bring the party favors?"
"Sure Sam no problem, I will be glad to help. It is going to be nice to see Cassandra again, with her turning twenty-five and having her doctorate in her third subject." Sam chuckled at Daniel's enthusiasm thinking,
"If Danny will help me I can get the ship needed for to move that damn rock to Tollana, if the planet is not too badly damaged from that damned Goa'uld Tanith's planetary bombardment of it. Grabbing the Tollan computers in a hidden underwater cave is my next step. Narmin told me about them just before we were forced to leave cause of the bombing here's hoping they still work. This whole plan is becoming a convoluted mess. Sigh, too many things could go wrong. I feel like juggling 6 hand grenades. One could go off at anytime!"
