Chapter 50

When the message is received by Praesidos Communications to forward to Samantha Carter-O'Neill, Dr. Radek Zelenka is currently working on the Communications panel attempting to repair it after one of the tech's manning it had spilled coffee on it. Radek was able to read the message to Sam, at this point Zelenka remember something about staying away from a planet in the region Enterprise was in. He had been able to completely go thru the data from the Ancient drive his Ancestor Lovaphi had left him. Zelenka ran back to his quarters with the coordinates sent in the message to check if they were the planetary system Lovaphi had warned him about staying away from.

Radek yelled out in terror, the system Enterprise is about to enter was quarantined by the Ancient Lanteans.

"Praesidos! Send a message to the Enterprise fast! Tell them to get away from that system now."

"Radek, what is wrong?"

"Praesidos just send them the message do not ask questions. Override command Zelenka Alpha Seven Five Delta Omega"

"Override command valid sending message."

The crystal drive Lovaphi left him has given Radek Zelenka overwhelming power to override any current commands of all Ancients/Alterans/Lantean systems.

The Message was only fourteen words long.

"DO NOT ENTER, JUMP AWAY NOW! OVERRIDE ALL SYSTEMS ON DR. ZELENKA'S AUTHORITY. Praesidos"

Once the message is received by Enterprise panic ensues all the controls will not work. It seems the V.I. has taken full control of all systems and is actively plotting to jump away from the outskirts of the system they are currently observing.

The crew could not understand what is happening. Their V.I. had never attempted to do something like this before.

Captain Marks is furious, he is about to order all of the systems disconnected from Enty as the V.I. is called on the ship.

"Captain, yes Enty? I can explain. My systems received a priority override from Praesidos and Dr. Zelenka. There was no time to explain my actions please contact them for further information. I am as puzzled as you are as to why I was ordered to perform an emergency jump."

Once Marks contacts Praesidos, he talks to Radek demanding an explanation. The Captain is really pissed off; his ship was basically hijacked by the V.I. Enty.

"Radek, what the hell is going on? What did you do to my ship?"

"Major Marks, it was necessary in order to save your ship and crew from a fate worse than death. That system was put under quarantine by the Ancients. I found the information in a hidden file here on Praesidos. Please do not ask anymore about it, I cannot discuss this over any open communication. It was extremely difficult for me to decode the message in the file."

Captain Marks is still really mad at Zelenka and intends to kick Radek's ass when the Enterprise returns to Praesidos for all the trouble he caused with his ship.

While this is going on the message had been received back in the Milky Way galaxy on the planet now know as Elliot's world. Jack is now the temporary Governor. His wife Samantha has been place on bed rest with no stress allowed by her doctor Carolyn Lam. Sam is eight months pregnant and in poor health due to carrying quadruplets, her unborn children are having health problems also. Carter was working too hard and under a lot of stress from being Governor which caused her current situation. She is a workaholic that is not good for a pregnant woman carrying quadruplets. Sam is bored out of her mind from not being able to do anything. Jack has brought in a nurse to make sure Sam follows all the orders left by Dr. Lam.

Once Jack reads the message sent thru the stargate he contacts Enterprise wondering what the hell is going on.

"Captain Marks, you sent a message saying the system is occupied. The next thing I know a report comes in from Enty telling me you jumped away. Do you mind telling me what the hell is going on?"

"Sir, I am as puzzled as you are sir. Zelenka overrode my ships systems ordering Enterprise to jump into hyperspace. I did not know anyone could do that! We are currently two light years away from that system where we came out of hyperspace. I am now sending you our sensor readings to confirm it is occupied. Please contact Dr. Zelenka and ask him yourself. Radek refuses to discuss this further on any communications channel, suggest you go to him and demand he tell you what the hell is going on. I just want to kick his ass!"

O'Neill decides to go to Praesidos on Major Marks suggestion.

"Incoming wormhole, security to the gateroom" Is heard on Praesidos in Chuck's voice.

"Chuck who is it? We are not expecting anyone now all offworld teams are already back and on stand down till the survey of the five systems is complete."

"Commander Taggert, I am receiving Atlantis's I.D.C. opening iris and shutting down the gate shield."

The combination Carbon, Trinium, Naqahdah iris was installed to prevent anyone from getting into the base if power is lost to the gate shield.

Jack walks out of the gate looking pissed off.

"Taggert what the hell is going on? How can Dr. Zelenka override a ship's system from here?"

"Governor O'Neill, I have no idea what you are talking about. The last I knew was that Radek was trying to fix the communications panel after a tech had spilled coffee on it."

"Taggert, get his ass up here now! I want to talk to him."

"Yes Governor, Chuck contact Dr. Zelenka tell him to meet Jack and myself in the conference room next to my office."

All over the base the intercom system announces this message for Radek to report to the conference room. Zelenka is in a panic trying to make a file in the base's systems to hide what he knows. Radek must do this in order to keep his promise to Lovaphi that the information on the hidden crystal drive he has in his possession will not become public knowledge.

Praesidos is wondering why he is doing this.

"Dr. Zelenka, why are you creating a file that did not exist on my systems about what you did?"

"Praesidos, Override command Lovaphi Alpha Seven Seven Five Delta Charlie One One five Execute, Execute, Execute. You are to delete any sensor log of my current location in your core room, you are to have the sensors record my location as being in my quarters"

Once this command takes hold of the V.I.'s systems it has no choice but to obey Radek.

Zelenka is beside himself, he does not want the terrible burden given to him any longer. He feels he has no choice but to continue to protect the secret of his ancestors.

Once finished in the core room Radek proceeds to the conference room with the falsified information.

"Hi Taggert, you wanted to see me?"

"Radek, sit down please we need to discuss what you ordered the Enterprise to do thru our V.I. here on the base."

All Radek could think is in Czechoslovakian,his native language because he was so nervous he was having trouble thinking in English.

"Do prdele! Budu jim muset lhát, nenávidím být v této situaci! Moje tvář mě rozdá; Rodney mi vždy říká, jak špatný jsem lhář.

(Oh shit! I am going to have to lie to them, I hate being in this situation! My face will give me away; Rodney is always telling me how bad a liar I am.)"

Radek had no choice but to look them both right in the eye and tell them he found the information in a hidden file in this base's systems and how hard it was to decode it. Once it was decoded Zelenka filed it away for a future time forgetting about it until Enterprise had mentioned the location.

The falsified filed was on the base's mainframe backdated by Radek to the time of the Lanteans occupation of Praesidos without anyone else ever knowing he had done this as a cover up to prevent anyone from finding out his secret.

Zelenka had uncovered information as to why it was necessary to stay away from that location.

The system in question is inhabited by a rogue group of ancients who want to rule the universe and would stop at nothing to do so. The ancient Lanteans had banished them there over ten thousand years ago, sealing the radicals and terrorists inside the system with a force shield surrounding it to prevent them from completing their plans of universal wide domination. The Lanteans were afraid they would teach their children to be radicals also thus the need to seal them away forever. If someone from the outside with Ancient Technology entered the system the shield would drop to allow them entry and it would not be able to go back up ever again. This would allow the people of the system in question the ability to escape their captivity if this group is still as bad as the ancients said they were.

T

he new civilization based on Elliot's world would have no chance of surviving. As it is they are currently fighting two wars, one to finish off the Lucian alliance in the Milky Way and the Wraith war is heating up in the Pegasus galaxy even after the destruction of their queens summit with most but not all of them on that world. Several queens had not made it there before that planet had been blown up by the Military based off of Elliot's world and the planets Sam and her team had managed to move into their new home system.

Heya, sorry it took me so long to get this one out. I have been having health problems. Czechoslovakian is not my native language I used a Google translator so if there are any mistakes I apologize to anyone who is a native Czechoslovakian.
