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.(

A few hours later Jonas was at his desk again, finally making some headway in the translations. From what he could make out, the Ancients had found something great, something beyond what they had ever known, and it was so important that they wanted it to be kept safe. What it was exactly Jonas didn't know yet, but at least he had a beginning. He couldn't help but let his mind drift back to Amy's comment, on how the Stargate had gotten in the gate room. The exact same question he had asked Sam, nearly a year before, it was just too weird.
"How are the translations coming?" Sam was at the door.
Jonas looked up, "Hey Sam. A little bit better, from what I can tell the Ancients, were researching something, and what they found was very important. So important that they wanted it to be kept safe."
Sam walked in and glanced at the glyphs," Exactly how important is important?"
Jonas shrugged. "Not sure, but the word precious is used, so my guess would be something pretty important."
Sam looked at him," That's all you got."
Jonas nodded his head and sat back in his chair." Yeah. And I got most of this in the past hour. These writings are beyond anything we've seen before, the base translators can't even seem to figure them out, it's like they have to be dissected."
"Well, take your time. I was just talking with General Hammond and he said we'll just leave this open till whenever everything is translated, and I can figure out the technological properties. He wants us heading off world in two days."
Jonas sighed," I'm sorry Sam, I'm really trying here."
Sam smirked," Sure you are, in between showing Amy around base."
Jonas looked at her," How do you know about that?"
"I saw you showing her the gate room."
"I was just taking a break."
"Relax, Jonas, I was just teasing you. When you figure this thing out, you figure it out. It's not like we have inter-dimensional alien creatures crawling around everywhere."
Jonas started laughing," Good point."
"You want to go off base and get some dinner later?" Sam asked.
"Maybe. I really should try to work on this some more. See if I can come up with anything."
"Okay, I'll be leaving around seven so catch me before than if you change your mind."
Jonas nodded." Okay."
Sam went to the door, then turned around to look at him." You know I just realized something. You were having trouble translating the glyphs, than you talked with Amy and all of a sudden you made some headway. I wonder if there's a connection." She grinned.
Jonas rolled his eyes," Sam, don't start that again. Amy's a nice person and we talk a little, that's all."
"Teal'c thinks you like her too. He says she seems like a suitable personality for you."
"So Teal'c's a matchmaker now?"
"No, we had breakfast with her and he just made that comment to me. I'd have to agree."
Jonas tried to hide a smile. "Sam, I appreciate you and Teal'c being so concerned about my personal life. But there really is nothing going on, okay?"
"I'm sorry. I'm just having fun with you. Seriously though, get back to work and let me know if you want to come to dinner, Colonel O'Neill, Teal'c, and Janet are coming."
"Everyone's going?"
"Yeah, we haven't done this in awhile and we never really can seem to do this that often anymore so we all thought why not for tonight." Sam paused," Well, anyway, I'll see ya."
"See ya."
Sam left then edged up to the door again," Want me to see if Amy can come?"
"Sam!"
"See ya, Jonas."
