Beyond the Gate

by Xeir Zith

The last thing Tanith remembered was Cameron cracking a very bad joke and Daniel cracking up in laughter. The next thing she knows is that she has a splitting headache and is in the dark, literally. As she unravels where she is, she finds out things she would rather not know. The SGC and Atlantis learn more of who the Furlings really are, and where they were hiding all that time

Tell Basta Egyptian Museum

Twelve noon local time

I scowled as I stepped into the main area of the artefacts museum of Tell Basta"Do you have any idea what I was doing ?" I asked Daniel, who had a smirk on his face

"Napping ?" He asked me, I glared, but couldnt stay mad at him for long before laughing. "I was right ?"

"Nope, you were wrong, I've been thinking. You've been at that tablet all night. Its noon, we've been here since yesterday morning, take a break" I said to him.

Daniel sighed. "I told you until I figure this mess out, I'm not hungry." He said

"Until you figure this out, or until you drop from hunger ?" I corrected him, he looked at me, then back at the tablet. I was confused. "Why is this back out in the open and the museum running as if nothing happened ?" I asked

"Because Mahumed insisted on operating the museum as if nothing is wrong, thus also allowing me to access anything needed, and whatever was with this tablet." Daniel replied

"I see, so ?" I said, faltering as if unsure on how to ask my question.

Daniel was reading on a tablet, and then found a map of the ruins of the temple, it was a massive structure with a good three to four dozen buildings similar to Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong. "Ok according to this, there should be three mummies of three different cats, one as a corner stone, and one under each location of a obliesk" Daniel said thoughtfully

"So we find the obliesk, then what ?" I said

"That's the fun part, I think just finding the mummies is going to be the hard part." Daniel replied. I ducked out the way of the hologram as it fired up. People reacted to the hologram as if it was a normal occurance of camera work showing the ancient Egpytians side by side with their beloved Goddess's own people.

"So whats the hard part ?" I asked

"According to the tablet there was also a maze of structures built under the complex, but not as a burial site, more like a storage site of some kind, hidden by a door that looked like the wall." Daniel translated word for word of what he could.

"So we're looking for a secret passageway in a mound of ruins ?" I asked him,

"That's what it looks like" Daniel replied.

"Didnt Mahumed say this tablet triggered its hologram, just seconds before the lightning took his wife ?" I asked, I remembered the conversation, most of it went over my head, but a lot of it made sense. Daniel and Mahumed were carefully going over everything as best they could.

Daniel nodded, "Yeah, actually according to Mahumed this tablet was dormant, nothing happened since they found it up until a month ago when it suddenly showed the hologram recording it perfect clairty, museum goers thought it was part of the display and observed the battle." Daniel said. "Why ?"

"A month ago" I mused thoughtfully.

"Yeah, that's what Mahumed clarified, and we confirmed on the security footage, the museum was almost opening time when it triggered, that would have been about almost ten at night in New York" Daniel replied

"That's what I was thinking. This thing was dormant, until a month ago, and what happened one month ago, twenty five people, plus three others, all disappeared in lightning and thunder from a packed theater. All that was left was blown fuses and fried microphones." I said

"You think the two are connected ?" Daniel asked me as he gave me a confused look, I raised an eyebrow at him.

I looked at him, "I might not know my history, but I know technology when I see it." I pointed at the hologram as the battle replayed. "When this thing kicks in, at random times, somebody somewhere on Earth or any of her Sites, or even Atlantis, suddenly disappears, entirely at random." I mused.

Daniel gave me a confused, yet concerned look. "Have you been drinking ?" Daniel asked me

"Just humor me a second, let me put it this way." I went back to Daniel and stood at the table the tablet was on. Daniel to my left, "This tablet was left by a race we never encountered through the stargate, the writing you recognised it, right." Daniel nodded and looked at me in thought. "What if this tablet was from a race we never encountered but we have at least encountered their writing system, and this hologram is a trigger for I dont know, sending a email attachment back to the homeworld or something ?"

"The races we havent encountered yet" Daniel mused in thought.

"Yeah, who havent we encountered ?" I replied

"Well lets see, we encountered the Ori, the Ancients, the Asgard, the Nox, the Goa'uld, The Wraith, the Replicators..." Daniel rattled off a list. "And those are just the races we know of."

"But what race havent we encountered yet ?" I asked

Daniel and I looked at each other. Again the hologram triggered. Within a minute of the last time. We both had the same thought.

"I think we need to go back to the SGC and take this tablet with us." Daniel said.

"Mahumed said to keep it here as if nothing is to be disturbed. Every five minutes or less that holo plays. Apparently its something really important." I said to Daniel

"Its the Furlings" Daniel said with a laugh, he set both hands on the table

"The Who ?" I asked

"Good music but not them no." Daniel replied

"Ahuh" I said in confirmation. "Who are the Furlings ?" I asked him

"They're the one race we've never encountered before. The Nox, Asgard, Ancients, and the Furlings were all part of the Four Great Races, however over those four. We never met a Furling." Daniel explained, he was excited. "I can cross reference further with a team here and try to find the hidden passage way. But something tells me we wont find anything even if there is a secret area. It might be empty."

"Or it might be like at camelot or in England ?" I said in reply

"Yeah" Daniel was suddenly serious, "Because if it is that type of technology, we'd be screwed because neither of us can read Furling can we ?" He and I traded looks

I raised my hands to him, "I'm sorry, I flunked Furling and Nox" I admitted, "Though I am rusty on my Asgard and Ancient."

"Yeah I did too." Daniel admitted. There was not a lot to try and find in terms of Furling writing. No real alphabet to work with other then egyptian writing and stone tablets.

"So now what ?" I asked

Daniel had a thought as he activated his radio "For now we go back to the SGC, and track weather patterns. Hammond, this is Dr jackson, can you track through norad local weather patterns in Egypt and sourrounding countries ?"

"Copy that Dr Jackson, scanning now." came the reply, we didnt have to wait less then a minute for the reply. "Egyptian airspace is clear, however Lebanon reported a severe thunderstorm, two houses on fire due to lightning strikes" came the reply. Daniel sighed.

"You still think its the furlings ?" I asked him.

Once more the holo activated behind us, Daniel looked at it and stepped right up to it. It was taller than a human, and clearly female. And also clearly feline, there were cat ears on her head, a long slender cat tail, she even had hair, or a mane or some such Daniel stared hard at it. "I'm pretty sure." he said softly.

The helmsman of the Hammond came on the radio, "Dr Jackson, Colonel Mitchell, you're wanted at the SGC, also not far from the vatican there was a reported lightning strike"

"Copy that" Daniel replied, "Two to beam" He said, he and I disappeared from Tell Basta in a plume of white light.

Within minutes of arriving at the SGC after speaking with the commander of the Hammond that we wanted a daily report of all personel aboard were accounted for, I found myself looking up stuff accounted to ancient egypt.

Present Day

two PM SGC Local time

Daniel was with me when General Landry arrived. "I had a feeling you two might be in here." Landry said, a week had gone by, and we still hadnt a clue what was going on with Taniths disappearance or anything else.

"Sir" I said, standing at attention upon seeing the Genera. He was oddly, in off duty clothing at the time.

"At ease Colonel" Hank said to me, I relaxed a bit. "You might want to be in the controlroom for the data from Atlantis, they should be dialing in any minute to give me a report of their personel status" He said. That did little to explain why he looked the way he did.

"Sir ?" Daniel asked, "Shouldnt you be in uniform ?"

Hank smiled "Got called early, was on a fishing trip at the time the call came in to expect something from Atlantis today." He explained, he sighed and looked at us both. "Ever since what happened in Miami while you were off in the Ori home galaxy fighting with the Ori, every week since those disappearances to almost daily, we've been getting reports across the world, So I contacted Atlantis and told them to send a weekly report if not that, a daily report. Woolsey replied that a weekly report of any personel missing was easier because it would take time on base to track everyone." Hank explained

"I see" I replied in thought, that explained why he was in civilian digs.

"Fortunately so far, nobody has disappeared here at the SGC or at Atlantis, unless anything changes in this latest report. So far we have only had reports from Alpha, Beta, Delta and Iota, Delta reported stormy weather last night, but no new disappearances." Hank told us. He looked at Daniel., "Please tell me you found something, anything, in Egypt last week ?"

"Maybe." Daniel replied, he wasnt entirely sure, or rather I wasnt entirely sure, but Daniel was pretty locked into it.

"Maybe ?" Hank repeated, he was going to need something better then a simple maybe.

"Its possible that whatever is happening is triggered by a tablet that activating in the museum at Tell Basta in Egypt, Mahumed insisted we leave the tablet there and let it run its course. Something tells me it was a good plan to do so." Daniel replied as he explained to Hank what was going on. He pointed at a video screen. It showed the tablet in action.

"So what now ?" Hank asked, looking first to Daniel then to me. I looked back to Daniel

"Its possible that whatever these disappearances are, They're not random, but fully intentional. Its possible it might be a recall device of some kind of a race we've never encountered before." Daniel said as he watched it again. Only in this case I noticed the time stamp of the hologram, it was of the same time around the time fo the Miami disappearances.

"So what are you doing at the computer ?" I asked before Hank could step in. we briefly traded looks, but Hank smiled.

"I am looking at the time of the disappearances in Miami, and comparing them with security footage of Tell Basta at the same time." Daniel replied, "I just need to find the right camera"

"Any luck ?" Hank asked him

"Plenty. There are five cameras focused on the area the tablet related to these events are in." Daniel said, he replayed the security footage from ten minutes before, to ten minutes after the initial disappearances in Miami. Showing us the screen.

The ghostly holo formed; Daniel pointed at it, or in this case the time stamp, "there!" He said

"What ?" Hank asked

"The ghostly figure, It is a hologram of apparently a catlike woman, in combat with apparently Jaffa or something else. They look like Serphent guards but even up close and personal with the hologram I could not make a direct thought of what the woman could be fighting." Daniel switched screens to show two screens, one being the security footage, the other being the thunderous applause in Miami for the cats performance. He pointed at the time stamp of both rthe miami disappearances, and the holograms fade out.

Hank and I stared at the screen as the hologram got to the point of revealing two of the three Jaffa fighting the feline like ghostly woman at which point sparks exploded from a light cable beam at the performance and crashed down the exact instant a white searing light obscured the side screen and the hologram faded.

"I think, this ghostly figure, this tablet, is connected to a race, and its recalling as many as it can home." Daniel said.

"Who ? Who is recalling their people home ?" Hank asked him

Daniel and I traded looks. "Its possible that it is the Furlings, they're recalling their extended family or something, its apparently completely random, you said it yourself, Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Iota all reported at least one member missing, in our case we reported Iotas own commander going missing." Daniel said

"Thats not the half of it, according to medical records, Zane Artiga disappeared in a freak storm in Michigan around the time you guys were at Iota for R&R" Hank said

"Why was he in Michigan ?" I asked, I had no idea he wasnt even at Iota to begin with.

"Family affairs, when he arrived here I had asked him about it and he said it was incredibly complicated and didnt want to go into further detail." Hank told us. "MSP reported to the ASAF his disappearance, they found his torched car under an overpass. There was another car, belonged to a US Marines Veteran A tech sgt, Zackary White" Hank explained "His car was also empty and torched."

"Oh boy" I said, Daniel just looked at me, saying nothing. If people being snagged or recalled to their original homeworld, only some of them would have military training, more then likely to be hoped for really.

Hank was about to say something when Chief Harrimans voice came over the PA "Incoming Stargate activation!"

"That would be Atlantis, they're early." Hank said, looking at his watch. I had to smile, sometimes early was better then late. "I'd like you both there. Hopefully this will shed light on things." Hank said

"Yes sir" I said, Daniel looked upset to be leaving the computer, but he had the handheld PPD and continued to use that to search the security logs and timing with disappearances.

"Sir, we're receiving a video stream from Atlantis" said Harriman from where he sat at the controls as we stepped into the room.

"On screen" Hank said, Woolsey appeared, with him in the screen we could see was Rodney and I thought it was Shepard in the background but it wasnt. "Atlantis this is the SGC, we read you clear. Copy"

"We copy that SGC, this is Atlantis, glad to get the call picked up." Woolsey said.

"Little early isnt it ?" I asked, I wasnt aware that Atlantis was going t ocall that soon, I just knew they would be calling us, soon...ish

"Better early then late, Dr McKay was about to send the weekly report. So far we havent lost anyone since we were told of the disappearances in the milkyway, its possible that whatever is happening is limited to Earth and her SGC sites" Woolsey said

"So far the latest report is from the Iota Site, its own commander, Lt Col Tanthial Raines has disappeared, the report was confirmed thanks to Dr Jackson and Col Mitchell" Hank replied

Woolsey looked upset. "Col Raines was one of the few snipers who were the most effective against the Ori priors" He said, I had to agree with him on that assement. "With her missing..."

"We're looking into it as a working vacation, its partly why we wanted the report from you guys, since you said nobody is missing at Atlantis so far" I spoke up.

"Any idea what is causing this new... threat ?" Woolsey asked

"Maybe" Daniel spoke up, "But I would need access to the database, and the Apollo just left for Venture and the Odyssey is still in refit after our last adventure."

"We have enough power for a connection from earth thanks to that ZPM assembly facility Dr McKay found last year, easier then expected to power thanks to the Replicators here oversee things." Woolsey explained to us through the screen

I balked as Daniels attention was focused on Woolsey at mention of that single word "When you say 'replicators' you mean really evil sentient robot bugs that want to ruin everything ?" I asked

"Not entirely bugs but still something of a pest, but thanks to Dr McKay's plan of causing the nanite blocks to magnetic on a code string, to cause one big blob we figured out a means of recoding their basecode, It was useful and even allowed some friends to return as well, it just took a while to get the kinks worked out. Thanks to that faction of Replicators, we have a power supply." Woolsey said.

"So let me get this right, in the Pegasus galaxy there is a faction of Replicating robots, who arent evil, and only wanting to do what they were designed to do ?" I asked

"Yes, I know it is a lot to take in, but Dr McKay and also one of his first replicators to work with have indeed created the working kill code. These replicators fortunately infested the systems of the city in order to enact repairs since the last attack from the wraith and when the city flew through the asteroid belt without deflectors." Woolsey said, Rodney looked upset to let that info slip lose.

Rodney stepped into the frame. "The good news is we have the power, you can come by gate, infact the ZPM cradle is still at the SGC and ready to hook in ?" He asked

"Yeah actually, Siler never did disconnect it even for the Daedalus." Daniel said

"Perfect, if you guys can open the iris I can send a ZPM to you guys ready to go. At which point we can have a connection from you guys to us, we can give you a shield code for the stargate, or us to you, and we already have our own GDOs as it is." Rodney said, "It wont be but a minute." He led up the brand new ZPM in his hands for us to see. I whistled. "Its a beauty isnt it ? Fully powered and ready to go." He said, he smirked "If you have a guy by the gate I can come through with it directly if you want, or if you want I can toss it through."

"Why not send SGA 1 on some R&R back here, yourself included, take a vacation back here on Earth for a week or so" Hank offered.

Rodney and Woolsey traded looks, "I'm afraid until we know the extent of these disappearances, returning to Earth at this time wont exactly be a good plan of movement." Woolsey said thoughtfully.

Hank was reluctulant to agree, but it worked out in the end. Shepards Team was staying on Atlantis until further notice. "Alright, we can at least hook the ZPM into the cradle..." Daniel then said, he looked at Rodney on the screen confused. "How many of them do you have ?"

"Right now, four, with three more being built, the Replicators love to mimic Ancient designs, and building a ZPM is built into their... I guess you could call it their DNA." Rodney said simply, "More then enough to power Atlantis, its shields, and to fly if we have to."

I liked the sound of that. "Alright sounds good, Open the iris, I'll radio you, Rodney, when I'm by the gate ready to catch it" I said, I left the controlroom, a half minute later I was at the base of the ramp. "I'm ready." I radioed to Rodney

Rodney apparently was on the other end and was by his gate, waiting for me to contact him, He pitched the ZPM through, I easily caught it. As much as I hated to admit it, having the replicators be nice for once and also be helpful was a good thing. And somehow it made me uneasy, but also happy that rodney had figured out a trick to keep them in line. I called into my radio, "I got it"

"Great!" Rodney replied, "Make sure that when you put it into the cradle its pressed all the way in before trurning on the power. The ZedPM will glow with energy when the power is safely connected" Rodney explained the step by step as I took it to the power room, Sgt Siler was waiting for me outside the door.

Siler and I hooked it into its cradle. "With this ZPM, and the others you guys have in reserve we can get these onto all our ships too right ?" I asked, the gate was still connected so Rodney easily heard

"That's the plan, the Daedalus already has a new ZedPM in it and so does the Apollo." Rodney replied as I returned, once I saw the ZPM light up, to the control room, I could once more see Rodney on the screen.

"With this we can keep in contact with Atlantis." Landry said thoughtfully. It made sense on many levels even to me. But what didnt make sense was the fact we were working with the Replicators, even after all the work we went through to destroy them all at once.

It was the look though that I got from Daniel that made me shut up about he worries of the Replicators, Rodney had the code perfected and there was no more fear, I hoped that remained true. After our adventure in the Ori home galaxy, things were not the best of terms when it came to the Replicators and what they could do.

So I changed the subject. "Have you guys found anything related to the disappearances ?" Woolsey shook his head as Rodney looked confused. "Didnt think so."

"If we find anything or anything happens here, we'll dial you guys and send data to you of whose missing, but so far like Woolsey said before, nothings changed here." Rodney said

"Sounds good to me" Landry replied, I was inclined to agree.

"Talk to you in a week, sooner if things change" Woolsey said, the transmission ended and the gate shut down seconds later.

As the feed died Daniel was already going through the data provided from Atlantis. "Tell me some good news" I said as he took the data onto a portal computer and started walking back towards his lab. Hank and I followed him.

"If I'm right, everyone that has disappeared is more then likely connected to the tablet, its like the tablet is an ancient communications stone of some kind, recalling its people back to its homeworld" Daniel explained, he tapped on his computer, a smile on his face. "According to this, each name with a green checkmark next to it in the present and accounted for column hasnt disappeared, yet."

"Meaning ?" I asked as I traded confused looks with General Landry.

"We know, almost for a fact that the holographic tablet is what triggers the recall of someone, or several someones back to a planet somewhere in the galaxy. Looking for the exact DNA string is going to be a pain in the ass for sure. But I am fairely sure we can narrow it down to possibly, being a race we never encountered before. And I think I know which race that would be."

I was confused, but General Landry spoke, "Tell me more." He said simply. I pointed at him and nodded. As if telling Daniel 'what he said'

Daniel smiled, "I think its the race we never met, we met the Asgard, the Ancients, and the Nox, but we never met the Furlings, all we have of them is this tablet, this hologram, if I am right he hologram is of a Furling woman figfhting with possibly Jaffa of even Anubis Guards. And there is also their alphabet from Dr Littlefields planet. Which also matches, directly, the tablet the hologram is coming from."

"So you still think its Furling ?" I asked, I myself saw noth other option and found myself agreeing with him.

"More then likely. I think, not one hundred percent locked in on this, but I think the reason we never met the Furlings, is because they were under our noses the entire time. Here on Earth. And now at the Alpha, Beta, Delta and Iota sites, Col Tanith, she's a Furling, somehow, maybe a recessive gene or something like how Col Sheppard has the Ancient Gene like Jack has" Daniel said to us.

Hank and I traded looks, I nodded. "Alright, lets say that it is a Furling device, where are they going, would Tanith and those actors and dancers and whatnot, be alive somewhere in the Galaxy ?"

"That is what I am trying to figure out. When the call from Atlantis came in. I had gotten some of Catherines books from storage and started going through them." Daniel replied

I nodded slowly "Alright you mean Dr Langford's books ? Other then those books have information about the ZPM, what else is there ?"

"Hopefully notes on the Furlings, most of this stuff is directly Egyptian so that makes it even easier to understand. If I'm lucky I can find an actual book about them and who they were." Daniel said, he he had a new stack of books, all of them were in either Arabic, the language of Egypt, or runes, or in this case, a really weird, almost catlike font of some kind.

I went to the stack and removed the strange book from it. "This looks familiar, no ?" I said as I held it up. Daniel stared at it. It did indeed match the writing on the tablet. I handed it to him. "Is it possible to translate ?"

"It might take a bit. But let me see what I can do" Daniel said before cracking it open, rapidly browsing through it he found it was a mix of both Ancient and apparently Furling. There were no runes or anything else from the Asgard or Nox.

I was about ot leave to get a coffee when Daniel made a noise. "Huh"

"Huh ?" I asked, turning to him. He was at the computer and typing frantically. "Let me guess, you found something ?"

"Yeah, I think so, according to this writing, the Ancients, those called the Lanteans, had helped the Furlings prevent a disaster and relocated them to another planet far removed from their old world and its darkened sun." Daniel said

'Meaning what exactly ? Darkened sun could mean a solar eclipse right ?" I asked. I had no idea where he was going with it.

"Or possibly a black hole. According to this, the Furlings original planet was left deserted because its sun had gone supernova nearly a hundred thousand years ago, and with the help of a close ally, the Ancients, they were able to relocate their entire culture to their new homeworld. The only thing so far I can find in terms of the name of the world is a single word, Ascretta." He looked at me. "Know it ?"

"Who ?" I asked

"Wrong person to ask." He replied, it made me smirk. "Fact is, The reason we never met the Furlings through the Stargate is because the Furlings were never on the other side in the first place. At least as far back as I can tell, according to the writer of it, it, appears to be a journal of some kind. It was apparently written in 3 thousand BC, around the time of Moses in the Bible." He said

I raised an eyebrow, just thinknig of the Bible made me remember a past conversation Daniel and I had a few months before meeting the Ori. We came to the conclusion that my Grandmothers favorite Book, the Holy Bible, was a tried and true book that really happened.

But time was a fun thing to work with, nobody could calculate how long a generation went without any new children, or how long a generation lasted to begin with. Methuesala after all, died at nine hundred and sixty nine years old, the oldest man ever. So it was not really easy to say the time of Moses was exactly three thousand years ago, because we had proof that the time period was set at five thousand years ago, three thousdand years before the time of Christ in the bible.

But even then, nobody knew exactly when He was born.

"According to this, Ascretta is apparently accessible by stargate, however the writer of this journal stated that they had to flee their world a second time, and not because of a black hole.. in this case they were fleeing, a small number could do so, without access to the stargate, they had to transport themselves here by use of, apparently magic." Daniel said after he ran the book through a translation program.

"Meaning ?" I asked him as I joined him at the screen.

"Meaning that whereever the Furlings were, for the last five thousand years, were rebuilding their stregnth and numbers after a huge war that destoryed their world. They came here, to Earth." Daniel said

"So that might explain the tablet, but it doesnt explain where the Furlings are now" I replied

"Dont you get it" Daniel looked at me from the screen. "The Furlings were hiding among us, these disappearances, what if those people who disappeared at that Miami show, what if they were Furlings to begin with and it was time for them to get recalled back to Ascretta ?" He was already going through the book again. Trying to find something. "Aha!" He said upon finding a page.

He showed it to me, I couldnt understand the words, but I saw what looked to be a circle of twelve guys standing around another twenty five people, I couldnt tell if they were male or female or a mix of both because of how crude the drawing was. "What am I looking at ?" I asked him

"The writer of this journal, says that "When I was told of the transportation spell, three of the spellcasters imploded upon themselves as if they never existed. The power of the spell was so strong. But it worked, we transported the remains of our race. Twenty five. To the planet known to us by the Lanteans as "Terra"" Daniel read aloud as he translated it.

"So that explains why we never met the Furlings" I mused, then I was thoughtful. "What about that kid in Ohio at the day care ? How could that kid have the Furling link and their parents didnt ?"

"I dont knowe yet, Tanith disappeared from our own humvee remember ? We did the tests, all of us did, when we joined the program..." Daniel trailed off. We traded looks. Grabbing up the book Daniel and I headed for the infirmary at a run.

SGC Infirmary

A few moments later

"You want to see the base medical records of blood tests ?" Dr Lam asked us

"We would not ask if it wasnt inportant. The fact is its possible that, like Jack, there's a gene, more then likely, a recessive gene, but it wouldnt be an ATA gene." Daniel explained

"Basically we want Taniths," Dr Lam looked at me confused, I sighed. "I mean, Lt Col Raines, blood test results, the DNA string on the data drive you have for her information and bloodwork." I corrected myself.

"You think she might have this unknown gene ? Do you even know what to look for ?" Dr Lam asked us, looking between us both with a sigh.

"Not yet, but it would be a start to try and find if she has a ATA gene like Jack did. Then work from there. Maybe she could be a clone or something." Daniel said in reply. He knew what to look for in terms of the ATA gene and how it looked on a DNA sample.

"Alright, I'll bring it on screen, but I dont know if you can find anything." Dr Lam said, a minute later and Daniel and I were searching Taniths DNA string for strange gene designs.

The first thing we found however, was that she did not have the ATA gene, but one similar kept popping up as a unknown gene. So Daniel had one of the nurses run a lookup for matches, and the only match we could find was a housecat in Long Beach California.

This was getting odd.
