Chapter 3 - Loki's Mask
*-*-*
SG-1 arrived back at the SGC and the gate closed itself down as they came through. As usual Hammond and the airmen and medical team were waiting for them. "What happened Colonel?" he asked Jack as they walked down the ramp.
"Ask Daniel" Jack sighed, walking past the General.
"Well Dr. Jackson?" Hammond asked, eyeing him.
"We didn't find any lifeforms there but there was this city, well, the remainds of a city we've managed to bring back some artifacts for study" Daniel said.
"And you think that's a good idea?"
"Wha-"
"What if they blow us up or somethinng!" Hammond cried.
"Well, none of them apeared to have any . . . switch on buttons" Daniels hrugged.
Hammond sighed, "Ok, go get checked out, mission briefing in 15 minutes, bring the artifacts Major" he nodded to Carter.
"Yes Sir" she sighed.
----------*----------
15 minutes later SG-1, Hammond and Dr Frasier were sitting in the briefing room. The artifacts Daniel and Sam had recuverd were placed on the table. "Well the tests shwo nothing is wrong with them sir" Frasier said, putting her file away.
"I should hope there isn't, nothing happened" Jack said, looking at an old vase.
"Ok" Hammond said with a nod, "Colonel, quick briefing please"
"Well we went to this planet and it was like Earth in the middle of summer. And we found the ruins of a city and Daniel got all excited and wanted to stay and examine them so Carter went with him and Teal'c and I talked about Star Wars"
"That's all? No sign's of live?" Hammond asked, looking shocked.
"It looked like it had been abandoned or the people there had been wiped out" Sam said, leaning foreword. "Yet there were freash fruit baskets by the 'Gate"
Hammond nodded, "Ok Dr. Jackson, what's you analysis of these . . . artifacts?"
"Well most of them are old house hold items, which is understandable as it was a city, but we did find this" He picked up the mask and held it betweeen his fingers, shwoing it to them all. "The rune symbols on it suggest it's Norse"
"The Azgard?" Hammond asked straight away.
"That's what i'm thinking, this coudl ahve been an old Azgard world, or protected some way by the Azgard. Anyway, we found it in a chapel, or church, i think i could have been used in festivals or that type of thing" Daniel said and put it down again.
"And are you sure these artifacts don't . . . do anything?"
"Pretty sure sir" Sam said. "But we need to do some more tests"
Hammond nodded, "and if you find they don't, put them in storage" Carter then nodded. Hammond stood up, "Briefing over" and with that he walked out, followed by Frasier.
"That had to be the most boring mission ever" Jack sighed, letting hsi head fall on the table.
"Not for Daniel, i think he was in Heaven" Carter laughed, btu Daniel ignored them, he was to busy looking at the things he brought back.
----------*----------
Daniel sat in his office, swinging in his chair and looking at the mask, his PC was on, but he wasn't paying much attention to it. Jack stood behind him, leaning against the wall. "You actually gonna' do anything with that?"
"Just thinking, i think i've seen this design before" he said, then he put it on the table and leant foreword on his chair, typing something in the computer.
"What you doing?" Jack asked, coming to sit by him, dragging a chair with him.
"Loki" Daniel said, "The Norse God of mischief, suposed to be like the evil God"
"Everyone needs one" Jack sighed.
Daniel clicked onto a picture and it came up big on the screen, it was a statue of Loki, discovered long ago on Earth, it's face was simmilar to the mask, with the same symbols and colours.
"So we foudn our guy, Loki, the people that lived there were a bunch of devil worshipers?"
"Maybe" Daniel sighed.
"Well, glad you foudn that out" Jack sighed with sarcasim in her voice, he pated Daniel on the shoulder and stood up, "Going to the mess, need food, coming?"
Daniel shook his head, "Fine, thanks, i'll stay here"
"Ok, cya" and with that Jack left, when Daniel turned round he was gone.
Daniel shut down the computer, he couldn't be botherd to research right now. Then suddenly he thought he heard something and looked round, but no one was there. "Origonal . . ." he mutterd to himself, then backed off from the table, shock in his eyes.
The mask was glowing slightly, red and the runes were changing.
Daniel stood up, and headed for the door but the mask flew up, into the air and circled him, suddenly it stopped glowing and dropped to the floor. Daniel stood there, shocked, eventually he leant down, and picked it up.
His arm became numb, he couldn't control it. "What the hell . . .!" he cried before the mask flung itself onto his face and he fell to the floor.
