Aww, it's so sad! I've just seen yet another repeat of The Lost City part 2
and I hate the way it ends!!! It means we have to wait half a bloody year
to see how they defrost Jack and whether Sam dumps that weirdo Pete (ducks
on crates-what the hell?) because she realises that her mind was wrong in
Grace and that she is madly in love with her (no longer) CO, Jack!!!
Anyway...enough of my ranting and raving, here's the next chapter-hope you
enjoy. Please review!!!
Chapter 2.
SG1 along with their newest friend stepped through the Stargate and out onto the metal ramp at Stargate Command.
"Welcome home SG1," A large Texan boomed. "You must be Sanura?" He said a little taken back by the cat likenesses.
"I am, and you are?" The girl asked tilting her head to the side, her ears still twitching, taking in the new sounds.
"General Hammond, commander of this base." He reached out a hand to shake hers.
"That's nice for you." She said slightly patronising.
"Yeah, she has an authority problem Sir." Jack added before heading for the door.
"Wait right there Colonel!" Hammond warned.
"Sir?" Jack asked guiltily.
"I want to talk to you in my office, the rest of you go and see Dr. Fraiser, get Sanura checked out." He ordered.
"Yes Sir." Major Carter smiled then led the way to the infirmary. "Don't worry Sanura, Janet has to check everyone that comes on the base from off- world."
"Checked how?" She asked looking around, never taking her eyes off the walls and each minor detail.
"Oh, injections, CA...brain scans to make sure no Goa'uld, that kind of thing." Daniel explained hoping the girl missed the whole CAT scan reference. "It's a piece of cake."
"What's cake?"
"Food, very nice, I'll show you afterwards." He offered.
"That would be nice" She smiled at him.
"Good." He smiled back. "Here we are." He waved his hand at the door.
"Hey guys!" Janet greeted the group. "You must be Sanura, the General told me you'd be coming soon."
"So you're Janet?"
"Yup, come on lets get started." She ushered the group in to 'her' infirmary and onto beds. "So where's the Colonel? He's normally the first in line for my extra big needles!"
--------------------
Meanwhile... "So Colonel, forget to mention the fact that the girl is half cat?" Hammond said calmly, it was scary how calm he was.
"Did I?" Jack asked seating himself in the empty chair in front of Hammond's desk. "Sorry Sir, a minor detail, must have slipped my mind."
"I'm sure," Hammond clasped his hands together on the table. "I am personally putting you in charge of the mission on Sanura's planet as you know the layout of the land etcetera."
"Thank you Sir."
"Good, now get to the infirmary and have your post mission exam Colonel."
"Aww, but Sir I..." The Colonel wined.
"No buts Jack, you have to keep an eye out for Bregman and his camera crew. I don't want this particular girl on camera." Hammond sighed.
Jack nodded his head and left to find the rest of his team and sweet talk Janet.
----------------------------
Before the group had even left the infirmary, it had gotten around the base that there was a newcomer with a tail and pointy ears. Now of course Bregman had heard all about it and was waiting patiently outside the infirmary, ready to pounce.
As soon as the door opened the tubby man was there with his crew, Tech Sergeant Dale James and Airman First Class Shep Wickenhouse.
"Colonel O'Neill," He cried. "What can you tell me about the girl that you brought through the Stargate?"
"Bregman, will you just get lost!" The Colonel shouted. "Firstly you catch me after I've been repeatedly stabbed with a huge, honking needle and secondly you are right in my face!"
"But Colonel, what can you tell me..."
"Bregman you aren't allowed to film that." Colonel Tom Rundell said walking around the corner.
"Tom, didn't I tell you to call me Emmet?"
"You may have done, turn the camera off." He ordered the young camera crew who readily complied with his demand.
"Look, I just want to get some footage of the types of aliens coming through the gate on a regular basis, let the audience get a feel of the working environment..."
"No, General Hammond specifically said that no current affairs would be filmed and this is defiantly current." Tom said.
"You tell him Rundell." Jack said before walking past the director.
"Remember you still haven't given me an interview Colonel!" He cried in vain. "Dammit."
"Bregman, away from the infirmary." Rundell said.
"Fine, I'll go get some shots of the toilets or something." He replied before walking away. "Come on!"
As soon as they were out of sight, Daniel, Sam and Teal'c escorted Sanura out of the room and down the hall towards a VIP room.
"This is useless." Daniel huffed sitting down on the edge of the bed. "Bregman's here for another week and Sanura won't want to be cooped up in here for that long."
"Why isn't he allowed to film me?" The girl asked sitting cross-legged on the bed.
"Because you're...different." Daniel cringed at his choice of words.
"Duh!" She sighed and lay down. "If he's doing a film about the SGC, shouldn't there be something about the different types of allies and things? You know, to show people that just because someone looks weird, it doesn't mean that they are any different to you."
"That's a very good point." Sam agreed. "But it might be better to just let people see the more...human looking ones."
"Also a very good point, I can see how it could be disconcerting." Sanura rolled onto her stomach. "I'm hungry."
"Okay, Teal'c and I will go and get a load of food and bring it back here." Sam said getting up from the table she was sitting on.
"Bring cake!" Daniel yelled after her as they left the room. He shut the door quietly and turned to face the girl on the bed. "So, how's earth so far?"
"Claustrophobic." She grinned.
Daniel plonked himself down next to her. "Well, there are good reasons you're not allowed out side."
"Not even out of this room?" She asked putting on her best puppy-dog eyes, which was considerably much harder for a cat.
He smiled. "Not at the moment, you know that."
"Yeah, I guess." She rolled onto her back again. "I miss it, I know I've only just got here, and it seems like a nice enough place and all, but I miss home. I never really felt like it was home, after Bastet took my mother it seemed...I felt displaced, like I didn't belong anywhere. I was ten when she was taken, Sef took me in and tried to look after me but I was me; a pain in the arse." She sighed.
"It must have been hard on you." Daniel said knowingly. "My parents died when I was younger, I was moved from foster home to foster home and felt I had no place, now this is my home."
"Yeah but I didn't make it easier on me or anyone else for that matter, I'd try to run from all my problems but only seemed to create more." She smiled and sat up. "Last month the first male cat man came to the town to be "suited". So of course I ran away, I didn't want to be married off to some guy I'd never seen before in my life and now this is happening. I know it would have been too late anyway if I did get married to the guy but I was selfish."
"Come here." Daniel said wrapping an arm around the girl and pulling her closer. "What ever happened nothing would have changed, at least now you've learned from your mistakes."
They sat in silence; Sanura curled up in Daniel's embrace with her head on his chest. The door opening broke the silence, Sam and Teal'c walked in carrying trays full of food, they had found Jack on the way and he was now carrying a rather large chocolate cake. The three of them walked in and almost laughed, Daniel and Sanura had both fallen asleep on each other. Setting the food down on the table quietly they walked over to the bed and pulled the covers over the pair, they then exited the room and made sure the guard at the door didn't let anyone disturb them. They then went to their own rooms and got some shuteye.
