"Familiar Strangers"
Ch.4
Nicole's POV
(The SGC, Briefing Room)
Colonel O'Neill, Teal'c, Major Carter, and General Hammond were sitting in the Briefing Room, apparently waiting for Dr. Jackson to arrive. Daniel and I stood, having just arrived.
"Dr. Jackson, how many times must I remind you about the SGC's rules about civilians knowing about our program?" General Hammond said to Daniel, trying to remain calm in front of myself and SG-1.
"Sir, if you'll just give me a chance to explain the situation. You'll understand why she's here," Daniel pleaded, sitting down next to the general.
"What do you expect me to do, Doctor," the general asked.
"General Hammond, all I want is for you to hear me out. This may be the only chance I'll ever have to change the future," I spoke up, speaking clearly and firmly.
They all looked up at me.
"Excuse me?" Jack asked.
"I get these premonitions," I told them. "I can see into the future. But, the images I see are only quick flashes and aren't concrete,"
"Because the future isn't set in stone, right?" Sam asked.
"Exactly," I smiled. "So, you believe me?"
Samantha didn't say anything.
"It doesn't matter," I said. "I don't now even why I tried."
Daniel looked at me, confused.
"What?" he said.
I ignored him and looked directly at Hammond. "Look, you can believe me or not. But, as Earths first line of defense against the Goa'ulds, I say you're doing a poor job," I continued.
"Daniel, you believe her?" Jack asked.
"As a matter of fact, I do," Dr. Jackson said. "You believed me when I went through the Quantum Mirror."
"What makes you think that this is any different, Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c asked.
"It's not . . . Entirely," he said.
"General, I see terrible things happen every day. Death, destruction, and mayhem. All in which I can't stand to see anymore," I said, still standing. Then I mumbled, holding my head, "And I've got the migraines to prove it."
I rested both of my hands on the chair in front of me. I gasped as my head started to throb, gripping my hands, squeezing the chair. I saw a blinding light before this image appeared:
*Premonition*
Hundreds of Jaffa swarmed the hallways of the SGC. By the looks of things, whichever System Lord was trying to take over the base, succeeded. The members of the SGC laid scattered all around the base, bleeding, their eyes wide open in terror.
*End of Premonition*
I took my hands away from the chair and held my head in pain. I slowly sat down in the chair, next to Daniel and Sam.
"That one hurt even more than the others," I said faintly.
"What'd ya see?" Jack asked.
"Who ever attacked the SGC in my other premonition, succeeded in this one. Everyone was dead," I took a deep breath, still holding my head.
It throbbed worse than it has ever had.
"These premonitions, how long have you had them?" Hammond asked.
"Since I was 15. So, about 20 years," I answered politely.
General Hammond looked from Daniel to me. I could tell he was thinking.
"I am willing to take the risk," Hammond paused.
I put my head in my hands.
"Sir . . . ," Daniel began, desperately.
"I wasn't finished, Dr. Jackson," The General said. Putting a hand up to silence him. "I am willing to take the risk to have Dr. Allison as part of the SGC. I am not, however, going to risk the fate of this planet."
I quickly looked up and gaped at him.
"I heard that's a great way to catch flies, Dr. Allison," Jack remarked, grinning broadly.
I closed my mouth and then said, smirking, "You know, Colonel, you look a lot older in person."
I saw Daniel, Sam, and even General Hammond grin.
"Dr. Allison, I want you to go see Dr. Fraiser in the Infirmary. See what you can do about those migraines. Dismissed,"
Everyone nodded and left.
The End
