Tiahuanaco
Kyizi
Part 2
Notes: I just wanted to say that altho I get most of my information from "Heaven's Mirror", the
conclusions that this fanfic will draw are in no way what the authors of the book conclude as this is
obviously written to fit in with what I already know about the Stargate Universe.
Also, this part is me trying to get into the characters a little more so there may be less history stuff.
And I'm not sure what year it was during season 2 (when this is set) so I decided to just go for
2000...that way I can actually remember what happened last year!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Colonel Jack O'Neil looked from his 2IC to Teal'c and then turned back to Daniel, "Ugh, care to
explain?"
Sam's eyes never left the scene before her as she spoke, "I'm no historian, Daniel but I'd like to think I
know a little bit about this stuff. Tiahuanaco is a place near the Lake Titicaca. It actually exists. How
can this be it?"
"Oh it is." Daniel turned to face the rest of the team, "The inscriptions on the wall that let us in here
said as much."
"What exactly did it say?" Jack asked, getting slightly annoyed that Daniel was being so cryptic.
"The inscription on the wall was written in a form of writing that I've never seen before."
"Then how could you possibly know what it said?" Carter asked.
"It was a cross between hieroglyphics and Greek. But there were other symbols present that I've never
seen before. I was able to decipher some of the sentences."
"Well," Jack sighed, "What did it say."
"Here lies the stone at the center."
Jack looked at Daniel urging him to go further, only to realize that that was it, "And that's lead you to
this definite conclusion? That one sentence about a stone?"
Daniel sighed, "Tiahuanaco is a more modern name for the city. It was once called Taypicala which,
translated, means the 'stone at the center'. That, along with the depiction's of the Nazca monkey and
everything else leads me to my conclusion."
"Oh." O'Neil shuffled slightly and cleared his throat.
"The sacred city."
"Huh," All three turned to face Teal'c who had remained quiet till this point.
"Taypicala, the sacred city. It is a Jaffa legend. A place where the soul begins and ends."
Sam's eyebrows creased and her eyes widened, "You mean this is Jaffa heaven?"
Teal'c raised his eyebrows, "A suitable comparison."
Jack turned to the large stone figure in front of him, "Hello God."

~~~~~~~~~~~


"This is amazing!" Daniel whispered in awe. He squinted as he tried to read one of the smaller
inscriptions on the wall. Jack was prowling around, checking for hostility inside, whilst Teal'c had
volunteered to remain outside and Daniel could understand. He felt that he shouldn't enter his 'heaven'
until he was ready. His entire belief system, although unknown to the rest of his team, was obviously
important to him and their discovery, whilst profound and possibly one of the most important any SG
team had discovered, had caused him to doubt everything.
"What's this?" he asked himself moving towards a large, smooth rock to his right. It appeared to be in
the center of the forest, and it wasn't until he moved right next to it that he noticed this. Everything
around him appeared to be symmetrical, or at least have a definite structure all focusing on the stone at
the center. Sam moved towards him, a mineral sample in her hand.
"What did you find?" she asked him quietly. Since their arrival, they had been speaking in whispers, as
if to talk loudly would be an insult to the sacredness of their discovery.
"I'm not sure..." he replied softly.
"OK people, time to leave." Jack yelled as he headed back towards the entrance.
"Jack?!!" Daniel hissed.
Jack sighed and turned to face Daniel, "We were supposed to be back at the SGC about 2 hours ago
and we still need to walk back to the gate."
"But there's so much that we haven't discovered yet! I haven't even begun to decipher everything!" he
replied still whispering loudly.
"We can come back later. If this place is as important as you say it is then we'll be back. Besides, you
got it on video."
"This place could give us the answer to life, the universe...everything!"
"42. Now move."
Daniel started to protest as Sam sniggered, "But..."
"No buts Daniel. Get ready to leave."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"OFF WORLD ACTIVATION. INCOMING TRAVELLER" the voice echoed around the building as
General Hammond entered the control room.
"We're receiving the SG1 signal Sir."
"Open the Iris." Hammond sighed, SG1 were late and he hoped that O'Neil had a damn good
explanation.
"Sir, the point of origin isn't right."
"They must have had some trouble, had to go elsewhere first. Call a medical team."
"MEDICAL TEAM TO THE GATE ROOM"
As the Iris opened, the Stargate sprung to life with a blast. Suddenly a figure came flying out and after
spending a few moments in mid air, collided with the ground and rolled down the ramp. The figure
quickly stood on its feet and tapped a device attached to it's arm. The iris quickly began to close but
not before another figure jumped out firing a staff weapon. The figure at the bottom of the ramp raised
it's arm and Hammond watched as the Goul'd at the top of the ramp collapsed dead.
Realizing that it's foe was dead the figure turned straight into the barrels of 13 guns as General
Hammond walked into the gate room, "Who in the hell are you and what are you doing with the SG1
code?"
Hammond watched as the figure's eyes widened and after a few moments promptly collapsed on the
floor.
"It's just going to be one of those days."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Uh, Jack...are we lost?"
"What do you mean, 'are we lost?'" Jack asked turning to face his team.
"I think what DanielJackson is trying to say, O'Neil, is that you do not appear to know where we're
going."
"Well thanks for clearing that up for me Teal'c." Jack said, the sarcasm practically oozing from every
word, as the Jaffa moved to the trees ahead.
"Well, Sir?" Sam asked, "Are we lost?"
Jack opened his mouth a few times before actually speaking, "Lost in what sense?"
"Great." Daniel said sitting on the ground, "I can't believe you blamed me for holding you back and
then you go and get us lost!"
"I believe if we proceed through those trees we will reach the Stargate." Teal'c said returning to the
group.
"See, knew where I was going all along." Jack said as Sam rolled her eyes and helped Daniel back to
his feet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"OFF WORLD ACTIVATION. INCOMING TRAVELLER" the noise echoed through the mountain
as she pulled herself up. She was in a medical facility. She stretched and rolled her head around a bit,
cracking a few bones along the way and she groaned.
She tried to sit up only to realize that she was secured tightly and wasn't going anywhere and grunted
in frustration and settled into the bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So...again, tell me how we ended up here?"
"Don't blame me for this, Sir. If you hadn't gotten us lost then none of this woulda happened."
"Oh so it's my fault!"
"Uh guys..." Daniel attempted to intervene.
"Look, Colonel, I think we should just try to get out of here."
"Oh no Carter, don't you dare go hiding behind those ranks of ours, lets argue...I outrank you anyway,
so either way you loose."
"Either way I loose?! You might out rank me but if you hadn't strayed off the path like we warned you,
we wouldn't be stuck down here!"
"Uh guys..."
"Look, Captain, I think we should just try to get out of here."
Sam gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. *Take deep, calm breaths, Sam...you can strangle him
when you get out of this pit*
"Well are you going to help me or not."
"Coming, Sir."
"Uh guys..."
"What is it Daniel!" they both turned simultaneously as Daniel jumped back a little.
"I just thought you might want to know that Teal'c found the way out." Daniel turned and walked away
from them and after an embarrassed glance at each other, they followed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Where have you been?" General Hammond greeted SG1.
"Hey Sir," Jack said moving down the ramp, "Well it's a long story. Which ended up in a large mud
pit." Sam gritted her teeth, "Oh but Danny thinks he's found the meaning of life."
"Glad to hear it Dr. Jackson. I want to see you all in the briefing room now. We have a serious breech
of security on our hands."
SG1 exchanged curious glances as the followed General Hammond out of the gate room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What's this all about, General?" Jack asked as they settled around the table. Hammond opened his
mouth to reply as Janet entered the room.
"She's awake."
"Take a seat, Dr. Fraser." Hammond motioned to the chair next to Sam and Dr. Fraser sat. "About an
hour ago the gate was activated and the SG1 signal was transmitted."
"But Sir, we were still on P3X 783." Sam frowned.
"I know that, Captain. Or at least I do now. When the iris opened, a figure came flying through the gate
in mid air, followed by a Goul'd. She closed the Iris with a contraption she had attached to her wrist
and then proceeded to kill him with a Goul'd weapon. We traced the signal, she activated the Stargate
on P4X 941. SG6 were there last month, there was little sign of any civilization in the last couple of
centuries. Seems they were wiped out by the Goul'd."
"So the girl was Goul'd?" Sam asked.
"No."
All eyes turned to Janet as she spoke, "That's what doesn't make any sense. She is human. There is,
however an imbalance in her genetic make up. Similar to what Captain Carter has remaining from
being joined with Jolinar."
"So she was possessed by a Tok'ra?" Jack asked, still confused as to how the girl could possibly have
an SGC code, let alone SG1's.
"No. There isn't enough of an imbalance for that."
"So what's your conclusion?" Hammond asked as Janet frowned.
"I haven't got a clue."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She struggled against her restraints again, trying once again to figure out her surroundings.
"I don't think that'll do you any good." a voice came from behind her and she whipped her head at the
sound.
Her eyes widened as SG1, General Hammond and Dr. Fraser entered the room.
"So, now that you're awake, would you care to explain who you are and what the hell you're doing in
this facility?" General Hammond clasped his hands in front of him as Janet walked to the other side of
the bed and loosened the restraints enough to let the girl breathe a little easier.
The girl simply continued to stare at them wide eyed and Hammond frowned, "Dr. Jackson, could you
speak to her in a few different languages?"
"Of course," Daniel walked to the girls side and proceeded to say hello in as many languages as he
could think of, hoping that the girl would reply. But she simply lay there and stared at him.
Daniel sighed and turned away, "Sir, I don't know what..." he sighed again, "She could be from
anywhere. Hell, she could even be from here."
"Em un maat."
Daniel whirled around wide eyed as the rest of the group stepped closer.
"What did she say Daniel?" Sam asked exchanging a glance with Jack.
"She said, 'that is so'." Teal'c replied.
"She's speaking Ancient Egyptian." Daniel replied before switching to Egyptian, "Who are you?"
The girl looked nervously at the group in the room, unsure whether or not she should speak. "When am
I?"
Teal'c and Daniel frowned at each other, "She could have a concussion." Daniel said as to explain her
odd question.
"I'm fine! When am I?" the girl shouted...in English.
"Wait a minute, you speak English?" Jack asked.
"Well considering I confirmed something that Daniel said in English, I think that's pretty much a
given." she glared at Jack, "What year is it?"
"Oh right." Daniel said, finally understanding the question. "It might have been easier if you'd just
asked that."
"Yeah well it would also have been easier if she'd just spoken English to begin with too, don't ya think
Danny." Jack replied, a sudden dislike for the girl surfacing.
Sam sighed and stepped forward, "It's the year 2000."
The girl had shied away from Sam the minute she stepped forward but now as the reality of it sank in
she frowned and looked straight ahead, "2000?" she whispered.
"What's wrong?" Sam asked stepping yet closer.
The girl looked at her then quickly looked away again. She took a deep breath before turning to face
Daniel, "Daniel I need to speak to you and General Hammond right away." the girl grunted in
frustration, "and Janet will you let me out of these damn straps!"
