"Major Carter, when did you arrive back?" Amy asked as Sam walked into the elevator.
"We came back yesterday afternoon. I'm shocked you didn't know." Sam said with a slight smirk.
Amy seemed puzzled," What do you mean?"
Sam looked at her apologetically," I'm sorry. I was just joking because of how much you have been around Jonas lately, that's all."
Amy nodded," Yeah, I know that rumors are spreading that we're going out. It's so ridiculous because we're not. You know how you just find a common link with someone and you just like to connect with that person?" Sam nodded," That's all it is with Jonas and me, I swear."
"I believe you. But I have to admit I have been teasing Jonas like crazy about it. By the way have you seen him at all this morning?"
"No, I haven't." The elevator opened and they both headed down the corridor.
"I hope he didn't fall asleep in his office again."
"He fell asleep in his office?"
"Yeah, he's really determined to understand these writings. He's pushing himself to hard. I'm starting to get a little worried."
"Major, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Is there something between you and Jonas?"
Sam looked oddly at her for a moment, then realized what she was saying," Oh no! No, no-no. There is absolutely nothing going on between us. Sometimes I just worry about him. It was difficult with how he came onto SG- 1; he's had a hard time with it all. I guess I just like to look after him sometimes. But other than that, nothing more."
Amy was quiet for a moment, "You know with Jonas being so available we should do something to get him hooked up with someone."
Sam laughed," Yeah but then we wouldn't be able to have him hang out with us as much."
"Good point." Amy agreed, "Are you going to head to his office? I'm curious to see if he did fall asleep again."
"He better not have." Sam said firmly.
"Well if he did it's too bad I don't have my whistle." Amy said.
Sam started laughing." That would be to funny."
They both walked to Jonas' office and stopped at the entrance. There were papers on the table, and a few scattered on the floor. But the most interesting and probably most amusing sight was what Jonas seemed to be doing. He was tacking the various papers to a blank wall in his office, apparently trying to read it. Amy and Sam just stood there for a moment staring at him. Jonas must have sensed this cause he turned around, eyed them and saw what they were staring at. Then he gave a sheepish smile," Hi."
Amy looked at Sam for a moment," Um, Jonas this might sound like a crazy question, but what on earth are you doing?" Amy asked.
Jonas raised his hand and pointed towards the papers excitedly," Translating. I finally got it! Finally! It was right in front of me the entire time. The whole reason I couldn't figure it out was because sentences were dispersed to different parts of the platform. Which makes sense; I mean if the Ancients put a defense on it, why wouldn't they want to make it even more difficult to read. I mean this is something that is really important, they wouldn't just want anyone to figure it out or come across it, but someone who was really interested and took the time and was able to figure it out. I don't have all of it yet. The inside of the platform is defiantly encoded. It says on here that you can actually open the device and see what was hidden within it, but that the only way is to find one of many riddles, or verses, I'm not sure which, that are encoded within the inside of the platform, but if I can find it and we bring the device back and put it on the platform we can unlock it, if you will, and understand exactly what this is. It doesn't say on here if it's a weapon or not, but it says that it is one of, if not the most important discovery that the Ancients ever found. So Sam can you go with me and convince General Hammond to go back to the planet?" He asked plainly.
Amy and Sam just stared at him. He had talked so fast it had seemed as if he hadn't even taken a breath." Jonas, I would seriously consider lessening your coffee intake." Amy stated.
Jonas looked at her oddly, "I don't drink coffee."
"Oh, well in that-a- case I'd defiantly take a breath and calm down, please."
"Jonas, it's 8:30 in the morning, when did you figure this out?" Sam finally asked.
"I worked on it all night. I tried something, it worked and I just couldn't stop working on it, besides I'm not the least bit tired."
"Why don't you come get breakfast then." Sam suggested.
"No, I'm going to figure this out," He went back to the wall.
Amy leaned towards Sam," Should we get a medical team to sedate him for over exhaustion and hyperactivity?"
Sam couldn't help but laugh. Jonas spun around," What's so funny?"
"Nothing, umm, I'm going to go get Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c and tell them about this and then we'll go and tell General Hammond. Amy, stay and keep an eye on Jonas, okay?"
"Oh, sure leave me with the hyper one." Amy whispered.
Sam grinned," I'll be back in a few minutes."
"Jonas, don't take this the wrong way but you're acting incredible hyper and somewhat crazed." Amy said walking toward him.
Jonas looked at her and started laughing." I know I'm a bit revved up. It's just I'm so excited that I finally got this. It's like I conquered something."
"I knew you would get it eventually. But you still have to figure out the inside of the platform."
Jonas nodded taking a swing of his very old tea," True, but from what I understand it's like a crossword puzzle. There are a few words mixed in with various other letters. I got a few words from each side but it's not a lot to go on."
Amy stepped up closer to the papers," What do you have so far?"
Jonas grabbed a sheet of paper from his desk," Um, let's see so far I have these phrases: heavens declare; skies proclaim; and work of."
Amy's eyes widened," That sounds similar to a verse from Psalm 19."
Jonas looked at her," What verse?"
" 'The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.' Psalm 19:1."
Jonas quickly grabbed another piece of paper and started to look for the rest of the verse. Sure enough he found it." Wow, I wasn't sure if it meant riddles or verses. Now I know. So all I have to do is press this on the inside of the platform and we'll unlock the device." Jonas stopped for a moment," Amy, why would it have a scripture verse?"
Amy shrugged," Who knows? Maybe they had heard it at one point when they were on earth and they liked it."
Jonas was quiet," Amy, I hope this doesn't prove what you believe false."
Amy smiled," Don't even think about that. My faith is tough, it'll take a lot to unconvince me, if that's even possible."
Jonas smiled," I'm so glad to hear that."
