Season six (set before Full Circle)
Spoilers: Prophecy, Metamorphosis, Sight Unseen, and Meridian.
Characters: Jonas, Sam, other, Col. O'Neill and Teal'c.
Category: mystery, angst.
Summery: A mysterious artifact from the Ancients may lead the team to a discovery that they never envisioned possible.
Side note: I made up the planet P69-321, the character Amy Smith, and the book philosophies through the ages. If there is any similarity in planet, character or book, it was merely coincidental. ( Also I made Dr. Smith's position up. This story was possible only by God's help, because truth be told. I'm not that smart to think up something like this.(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Get out! A precognitive ability, I mean how would that work? I mean being telepathic or telekinetic is somewhat understandable, but seeing the future is totally different."
"Tell me about it! I really don't know how exactly, Nirrti must have changed something in me when I was in that gene-splicing machine, and it caused it to happen. How and why it started when it did I don't know, but it was an experience. " Jonas said taking a swig of his tea.
"What was it like, to see the future? I mean, I know you were really ill, but seeing the future, that still had to be cool." Amy said with this intrigued look.
"It was kinda cool, I mean obviously being sick wasn't fun, but seeing the actually future was an interesting experience. Well, at first, after Sam, Major Carter I mean, got hurt -it wasn't fun anymore, you know?"
"Yeah, I get what you mean. Out of curiosity though, after everything that happened, if you could have kept it, without being physically ill, would you have?" Amy asked.
Jonas thought for a moment. "You know with everything I've thought about concerning this I really never seriously thought about it. When I had it I obviously wanted to keep it because it would have been a great asset to the SGC, once I had learned how to control it. But after I saw the danger it could do, misinterpreting like with Major Carter, plus the fact that not every vision could be correct. No I wouldn't want it because I wouldn't want to risk those I care about. If I could do it without risking them yeah, sure I'd love to have it back."
Amy thought for a moment." So you don't want to risk those whom you care about. But yet you risked yourself, I mean you almost died in trying to control that ability. Why would you put yourself at such a great risk?"
Jonas sighed, "That's a real, real long story."
Amy leaned forward and looked at him," The same long story about the office switching?"
Jonas leaned back in his chair," Yeah, same one."
"So tell me about it. Unless you have something pressing."
"Not really." Jonas stared at his tea mug," You sure you want to hear this?"
"I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't sure."
"Well you see, on my home world-"
"Hold it. You're not from earth?" Amy seemed shocked.
"No, I'm from a planet called Kelowna."
Amy sat straight up in her seat and looked at him. "You're an alien?"
"Yeah." Jonas was puzzled," You didn't know that."
Amy looked at him in disbelief. "I never would have guessed had you not told me. You act just like you're from earth."
Jonas grinned," Really?"
"Yeah, I mean I never would have known." Amy smiled," So I interrupted your story, what happened on your planet." Jonas told her the complete story from beginning to end in what had taken place that fateful day on Kelowna, he went into such detail it was as if he was relieving all of those events. Then he began to tell her about his first few months on earth and readjusting, and finally being given the opportunity to be on SG-1. She listened without saying a word. She seemed to wear a blank expression, and Jonas couldn't place what she was thinking. He had always been good at reading people, but for some reason he couldn't read her. He felt comfortable around her though, and with telling her these things, which made him even more confused, he barely knew her, couldn't read her, and yet in some bizarre way he knew that he could trust her. When he finished he just sat there and looked at her. She was sitting back in her chair almost looking for something to say." That is unbelievable. You've certainly had a year of adventure, to say the least." She paused." So the reason you risked yourself when you had the precognitive visions was because you were trying to prove that you could be of help, and be an asset to the team."
Jonas shrugged," Basically, yeah."
"Jonas don't take this the wrong way, but that was really stupid."
Jonas chuckled," Yeah, I guess it was kinda stupid. But I felt like I had to prove it you know. I just had to prove it. And it wasn't to prove it to Colonel O'Neill or anyone else; it was to prove it to myself. That I could do it, that I had the courage to risk it all and lose it all."
"And in doing so you almost did lose it all." Amy pointed out.
"True." Jonas thought a moment," Okay maybe it was stupid. But I'm okay, everyone else is okay. And to top it off another planet got freed from the Goa'uld."
"Which in turn fulfilled an ancient prophecy." Amy added.
"Exactly. Sam says it was just coincidence, but I still wonder you know. Maybe things are pre-determined."
"Well, in a way what happened to you was."
Jonas gave a puzzled look," What do you mean?"
"Well think about it. This ability could have come about at any time, right?" Jonas nodded," And it just happened to start developing at the exact time you were on -237; not a week before or a week later, the exact time. Which means you were able to have the ability to alter the things you saw and fulfill a 1,000-year-old prophecy. It's almost like it was pre- determined for it to happen when it happened."
Jonas pondered that for a moment." I never thought about it that way before; you know it does make sense. Not scientifically though."
"Well, maybe not everything in life is scientific, maybe some things can't be figured out or explained. Is the future pre-determined? Maybe, maybe not, maybe it's all a matter of random possibilities. I think it's a combination of both, but no one really knows right? Wait a minute look who I'm asking."
Jonas started laughing." Well, either way, the future is still going to happen whether we know what it will be or not. You know what I am so rude, we've been talking about me for the past 45 minutes and I don't know one thing about you. What's your story?"
Amy furrowed her eyebrows, "Hmm, not much to tell. I'm from New England, from a military family. Practically everyone in my family was at one time or another in the armed services, I'm the only one that is not an officer. My four older brothers are in the Air Force, I graduated high school when I was 16, finished college at 22 while juggling 5 majors, have been all over the world, and speak around 6 languages. Oh and I'm only 27." Jonas' mouth was agape." Enough information for you?" They both started laughing.
"Hey what's so funny?" a voice came from behind them.
"Sam, hey, finally done with your research?" Jonas asked.
"No, not exactly. Just thought I'd grab a snack." Sam glanced at Amy," And this is?"
"Oh right, Major Samantha Carter, this is Dr. Amy Smith. Dr. Smith this is Major Carter."
Amy got up and shook Sam's hand. "So you're Major Carter, Jonas was telling me a lot about you."
"Really," Sam gave him a look.
Jonas put his hands up," Nothing but compliments I swear."
"Yeah well, it better be." Sam joked pulling up a seat and sitting down." So I take it your one of the new personal to the SGC."
"Yeah. I'm sure my being in a dress suit makes it obvious. But it is my first day and it has been a little topsy-turvy."
"You better get used to topsy-turvy if you're going to work here." Sam said.
"That's what Jonas was basically telling me. Not in the same words mind you." Amy said.
"So what are you going to be doing here?"
"Well I'm basically going to be an office person from what I understand. Off world once in awhile, but basically figuring things out from what other teams bring back. I just hope I won't go crazy without having a window to look out of, or get some fresh air and stuff. That was the one thing that turned me off for this job. But I figured I'd just put up some pictures and get over it."
Sam laughed," Yeah that is the difficult part about working here, but after a month or so you get used to it." Sam paused and looked at the two of them," So how exactly did the two of you end up here at the same table?"
Jonas and Amy exchanged a humorous look." Well, Major, you could say Jonas and I just ran into each other. Literally." Amy said.
Jonas chuckled, Sam looked at him," Am I missing something?"
"Sam, she's serious, we ran into each other, literally. We were both turning down the same corridor at the same time, and we-ah, collided."
Sam looked at them," You're kidding?"
"No," They both said in unison and smirked.
"I'll take that as a yes. So you ran into each other and ended up here, how?" Sam inquired.
"I know it seems kinda weird, but it happened like this-" Jonas began and relayed the whole story to Sam and even some of the things that he and Amy had been talking about.
"Well, that certainly is interesting. Run into each other and then have lunch together. No offense but that's really odd." Sam commented.
"Yeah, it is odd isn't it?" Amy glanced at her watch," You know as much as I hate to, I should probably get going I have to finish unpacking and I have a whole stack of papers to reorganize." Amy shot a joking look at Jonas.
"I said I was sorry."
"I'm just kidding." Amy got out of her seat," Well Jonas, thanks for helping me to get acquainted with the base; it has been an interesting afternoon. I mean that in a good way." She turned to Sam," Major, it was a pleasure meeting you."
"Nice meeting you too, good luck with the unpacking."
"Thanks I'm gonna need it. Jonas, I'll see you around."
Jonas nodded," Hey, I know where you work," he joked," see you around base." Amy turned and left and Jonas stared after her for a second.
Sam watched this and got a huge smirk on her face," Why don't you just ask her out."
Jonas stared oddly at her," What are you talking about."
"Oh come on it's so obvious you like her, just ask her out, or are you gonna pull the Kelownan, friend must ask thing again."
Jonas shook his head," Sam, that's ridiculous, I'm not the least bit attracted to Amy. I mean I just met her. We just had some stuff in common and talked for a little while that's all." Sam just looked at him," I swear Sam, I'm not the least bit interested."
"Interested in what?" Colonel O'Neill came up from behind them," So here's the question were the two of you really working on stuff or were you both just trying to avoid me?" He said as he sat down.
"Sir, I just got here for a quick snack and I found Jonas and one of the new scientists flirting." Sam said.
" Sam, we were not flirting! We were just talking."
"Talking and flirting can go together, Jonas." Colonel O'Neill said." So you really didn't have to work, you were just checking out the new scientists."
Jonas put his head down and shook it." Colonel, I ran into Amy, in the hall, literally, her papers went flying everywhere I felt bad about it, we started talking, she asked where she could get something to eat, I brought her here and we started talking. That's where it starts and ends I swear."
Colonel O'Neill looked at him," What do you mean literally?"
Jonas was confused for a moment," I mean we literally collided with each other in the hall."
Colonel O'Neill grimaced," That had to hurt." He paused." Wait a minute you just met her this afternoon right?"
"Right."
"And you're already calling her by her first name." Colonel O'Neill looked at him," Sure you don't like her."
Jonas threw his hands up," I swear it's not like that. Never mind, you're both determined not to believe me anyway."
"We're just teasing you, Jonas." Sam said.
"I wasn't." Colonel O'Neill said.
Jonas got a confused look on his face for a moment, "Anyway, has anybody heard from Dr. Frasier, when she's finally going to let us back on active duty?" he asked.
"I was just there, not yet." Colonel O'Neill sighed," She's determined to find something wrong with us. I really think she enjoys it."
"Well no one has figured out yet exactly what knocked us out. I have an idea though." Sam began.
"What?" Jonas asked.
"The device we brought back from P69-321 has very strong energy signatures, and every so often it has an energy spike. Now whenever someone was standing close to it, you could see the beginnings of an electrical surge. My guess is it's some kind of defense mechanism. When Colonel O'Neill touched it, it shocked him hard enough to knock him out for that length of time, and then sent out a stronger surge away from the actually artifact and it knocked the rest of us out for a little while."
Jonas thought for a moment," That makes sense actually, I mean the language on the device seems to indicate that this is a piece of technology from the Ancients, so it would explain why it would have that strong of an energy surge. The question is why would a artifact from the Ancients have a defense on it."
"I have no idea. Do the writings say anything?" Sam asked.
Jonas shook his head," Nope. A lot of the writings on it have worn off, but from what I could get it's just reiterating everything that was on the walls in those caves. It's like the story of the people are on it, but nothing about the device itself."
"Why would the Ancients make a device and not say anything about it?" Sam asked.
"I have no idea, it makes no sense."
"I hate to be the one to put a damper on things here, Carter, but how come SG-4 was able to bring it back with them? Wouldn't that thing have shocked them too?"
Sam shrugged," I'm not sure, Sir. The artifact itself was mounted on top of some kind of platform. Maybe that platform is some kind of recharge for it, and the artifact used most of its energy on all of us, and it wasn't able to recharge in time, in order to defend itself again. That's just an assumption of course, I would have to observe it more to be sure."
"Well, whatever it is or does could someone tell Frasier so she'll let us off base? She's really starting to annoy me." Colonel O'Neill said.
"Yeah, I'll tell her." Sam said," Then I'll go talk to General Hammond about letting us go back to the planet."
"Go back? Dare I ask why?" Colonel O'Neill asked.
"Well, Sir, we have a piece of technology from the Ancients that has a defensive shielding of some kind. Which seems to indicate that this is a very important piece of technology. We have to go back and see if we can find out what it is exactly."
"I'm with Sam on this Colonel, the writings that we found haven't said anything, but maybe there's something we missed. It's defiantly worth checking out again."
Colonel O'Neill sighed," Just how I wanted to spend my weekend, on a rainy planet. I don't want to sound like a poor sport, but let's just hope it's worth it and we find something we can use."
