"Different Kinds of Fire Power"

Ch. 4

(A/N: Okay, so I'm two or three days late then what I said it would be done. But, the weekend got busy. Enjoy!!!)

(2150, Enterprise, Captain's Mess)

Captain Archer, Sub-Commander T'Pol, Commander Tucker, and Lt. Colonel Turner sat in the Captain's mess. Sarah's head pounded and she started to get dark circles under her eyes. Dr. Phlox has insisted that she gets some rest. But, how could she rest when Earth was in danger?

"What do you want to know?" Sarah Turner asked, taking a sip of her iced tea.

"Tell me more about Stargate Command," Archer said.

"Okay," she said. "The device itself was discovered in Egypt in 1928 where it lay buried for several thousand years. In 1945, a team of scientists hoping to find a military application for the device successfully established a stable wormhole by a process of random dialing. It was, for all intents and purposes, a lucky accident, which they were unable to repeat. The Gate remained inactive, until 8 years ago when Dr Daniel Jackson joined the programme. Dr Jackson successfully deciphered the symbols on the Gate allowing us to begin routine exploration of alien worlds. Since that time, we have visited literally hundreds of planets. Thousands more remain to be explored," she paused as she took a bite of chicken.

"Why haven't we heard of Stargate Command?" Trip asked.

"My guess is that all of the information that has anything to do with the SGC was destroyed and something happened to the Stargate its self," Sarah said.

"If the Programme was so secret, then why are you telling us this?" T'Pol asked.

"You want to know if you could trust me. How can you do that if I don't tell you everything?" she asked rhetorically.

Trip nodded. That answer seemed to be reasonable to him. Even Archer liked the answer.

"Okay, let's say that I believe you and we'll help," Archer began. "How can you be sure that Enterprise will even last five minutes against Anubis' forces?"

"I can't be sure. But, five minutes is all we need. Like I said before, all I need is for Enterprise to keep Anubis away from SG-1 and stall for time. Even if it is only five minutes," Sarah told him. She saw Archer looking a little worried. Sarah knew what he was thinking. "As soon as there is any danger I'll send you back here." She then grinned, "Besides your unexpected arrival would probably throw Anubis just a little off track."

"That would seem the logical thing to do," T'Pol said. "If Enterprise was destroyed in your present, then that would harm the timeline,"

Colonel Turner nodded.

"How did your powers come about?" Trip asked.

"Well, I was born with them, actually," she said.

The three exchanged glances. Sarah cleared her throat to break the tension.

"So, is there anything else that you'd like to know?" she said.

Archer glanced around at the other two.

"I think that's about it," he said.

"Well, if you'll excuse me, Cap'n. I must get some sleep before my shift," Trip stood up and gave a quick, polite bow to Sarah and T'Pol.

T'Pol bowed back at him.

"Good night, Trip," Colonel Turner and Captain Archer said in unison as Trip left.

Sarah then looked at Archer.

"Captain, my we talk in private, please?" she asked.

"Of course," he nodded and looked over to T'Pol.

"I must get back to my duties, Captain," T'Pol got up gracefully and left.

"What is it?" he then asked Sarah.

"Well, I have another power that I use. It's sorta like a countermeasure for my time traveling power. When I leave I erase all the memory of me from people's minds," she told him. "I thought that I should tell you. Once you go back through the wormhole, back to you own time, I will erase you and you crews memories. As well as the people in my own time period."

"Thank you for being so honest," Archer paused then said, "I think I've made my decision."

"What is it?" she asked.

"We'll help you,"

Sarah sighed with relief.

"Thank you, Captain," she said.

"Certainly," Archer said. "I want you to take a nap. I need you sharp and we can't risk any mistakes."

Colonel Turner nodded. She couldn't help but grin.

"Yes, sir,"

"As soon as you're rested, we need to think of a plan of attack," he said.

She nodded and left for Sick Bay.

(2150, Enterprise, The Bridge)

Once as Sarah had a quick nap in one of the Sick Bay beds, she met Archer and the rest of the Senior Officers in the Ready Room. As soon as they got their plans ready, They went to the Bridge.

Sarah conjured up the familiar blue mist. She directed it to the outside of the ship, into space. The mist expanded. Colonel Turner looked at Archer, who nodded and ordered:

"Take her in, Travis. Nice and slow,"

"Aye, sir,"

Enterprise slowly entered the blue mist and within minutes the doorway swallowed, leaving the space empty once more.
