Okay. I can't remember whether I have had any reviews for the last chapter or not so you are going to have to put up with a new one anyway. I have finally seen the 1st 2 episodes of series 7 and while may not agree with what happnes at least they dealt with it in a fairly good way. Man I hate trying not to spoil stories. I've decided to update this as I've got some later bits already done and it seems to be a shame to waste them.

Remember this is an AU and as such I get to play with the characters as much as I want. None of them do belong to me apart from the Kelownans and Louise.

This part is set a week after the last bit and Jonas is back at work again.


Jonas was sitting in his lab and looking over a translation brought back by SG 6, he had been told by Janet that he was allowed to do some light duties and Daniel had promptly given him various translations to do. None of them were vitally important but were just ones that had been waiting for someone to have the time to do. Daniel meanwhile was on a mission with one or other of the SG teams leaving Jonas feeling very alone and trying hard to ward off any panic attacks that threatened to engulf him. The text in front of him was fairly interesting as it gave details of the earliest history of a now extinct race, however the language was one that Jonas was fairly familiar with and was not having to pay to much attention to what he was reading and was instead thinking about his own project and when he'd be able to speak to Sam about it and see what she thought about it as an idea.

Jonas had almost finished the translation in front of him when he heard the alarm going off signaling the return of one of the SG teams. The sound only caused him to glance up from his work not bothering to move as if it was an emergency he would find out soon enough. There hadn't been anything that he would class as a proper emergency for months now, the last one he could remember was when he'd been able to see the future and had had the entire base on alert trying to prevent a Jafa invasion. He was bored, this was not a feeling he was particularly used to as there was normally plenty for him to do in the SGC. As soon as he saw Sam again he was going to speak to her then hopefully be able to do something, once he could maybe the dreams would stop, despite his hopes he was still haunted by visions of the girl he had first seen when he was almost killed the last time. He had no idea who she was but he knew he needed to it was becoming as important to him as his other idea, he just hoped that the two obsessions would not clash.

He had just entered the transltion into his computer and was preparing to send it to Daniel when the computer died as did the lights and everything else that was powered by electricity in the room died. From the surprised sounds out in the corridor it was not just in his lab but all over the floor.

"Jonas you alright" Dr Haren asked from the next door office.

"What happened" Jonas replied glaring at the computer that had just swallowed all of his work from the last few hours. When he found out who was responsible for the SGCs loss of power this time he was going to make them regret it. Sometimes it was good to be friends with SG1 and the various marine teams that were stationed at the base especially when he was annoyed with someone.

"The power just died, I hadn't managed to save all of what I had been working on either. I was part way through that translation from P3X 763. You know how complicated that is." The man said sounding slightly annoyed.

"I'm sure there is a rational reason for it. I'll go and find out in the gateroom." Jonas said and with a final glare at the offending machine left the office.

By the time he had reached the control room the emergency power had switched itself on though the computers had yet to reboot, Hammond was look furious and he wasn't the only one.

"Don't tell me that you have something else to add to this situation Mr Quinn." Hammond said.

"No sir. I just wondered what was happening as everything died down in the linguistic offices and I was fed up with them moaning about it." Jonas replied

"Felger was trying something out." Hammond said before walking over to the phone which had started to ring. Jonas was not surprised that Felger was involved as the man was a walking disaster, usually just waiting for a place to happen. Many of the people in the SGC had taken to going the opposite way when they saw him unless they had to speak or deal with him for a particular reason.

It took some days for Felgers mess to be sorted out and took even longer for Jonas to approach Major Carter with his plan,

"umm, Sam have you got some time to listen to an idea" Jonas asked sticking his head round the corner of the door.

"Sure come in and have a seat." Sam said gesturing to a clear seat and saving her work on her computer

"I've been thinking about this for some time now and I think that it can work." Jonas said

"What is it then"

"I want to do some more tests on the mirror device, I think that it is possible to program the remote that you were given by the alternative version of yourself using a computer interface and search for certain things." Jonas said briefly

"Interesting idea, have you anything that you want to look for in particular" Carter asked already thinking through the various possibilities that his idea suggested

"I was going to search for a dimension where the Goa'uld no longer exist. There has to be such a place, maybe one where the ancients stayed here after and wiped them out. If I try this then I might be able to find something that will help us if we don't find the lost city before Anubis attacks again." Jonas told her seriously

"Leave it with me and I'll have a look through, if it looks as though it could work then I'll present it to General Hammond." Sam said smiling at him, the idea was quite likely to be a good one and she was sure that the genneral would agree especially if it helped to keep Kinsey off their backs.


It's been a long time since I last updated this I know but here you go anyway.

Let me know what you think and I'll try and do another update.

Next time Jonas starts to prepare for his trip and starts to understand what he has been seeing since his return from Kelowna.
