Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters or anything like that,
except Kohl Sirk.
Thanks in advance for glancing in the direction of my story. I'm hoping for reviews.
Owww... almost finished!!! Everyone seems happy with it and it seems my physics explanations were 'decent'. Here's the next chapter, I try to get them up as fast as I can. Now that I know how to end it, it'll be easy. Keep an eye out, only a couple chapters left. Don't worry, I won't leave you hanging!!! And THANKS AGAIN to everyone who takes the time to give feedback.
When a stranger is literally thrown through the Earth Stargate, SG-1 must discover who he is, why he claims to be part of SG-1 and how he opened the Iris.
He came through the stargate unannounced, he opened the Iris and he laughed when he saw O'Neill and Carter. Who is he? There are so many unanswered questions... what are the answers? Only time will tell.
Traveler: Preparations
The lab was crowded with scientists all wanting to be a part of this time travel experiment. Everyone worked feverishly until late into the night. Around midnight, most people had gone home, but Sirk and Carter remained behind still discussing the time travel theory.
"So let me go over this again." Sirk began for the third time.
"We've gone over this before." Carter groaned.
"Humor me. Besides, I want to understand the process I'll be risking my life with. OK, so you're going to charge the gate up using a Naquadah reactor that will have an energy frequency identical to the one the gate was charged with when I arrived. Then with my inverted GDO, I'll jump into the gate, you'll boost the power with a compound Naquadah generator linkup. Hopefully giving it enough power to speed me up to ten years in the future. Now tell me, why does that seem too easy?"
"I guess it does seem a little easy, but you're not taking into account how accurate these frequencies are and the amount of energy needed to propel you forward and the perfect timing required and-" Carter would have kept explaining the difficulties of this attempt but Sirk cut in and stopped her.
"I get it. It will be difficult. But you can do it. I know you can."
"You have a lot of faith in me."
"Yeah, ever since that day..."
"Which day?"
"Sorry, I forgot you haven't experienced it." Sirk attempted to change the subject.
"No, tell me."
Sirk sighed, then smiled. "OK. It was one of our very first missions, the newly commissioned SG-1, and we'd already bitten off more than we could chew. The four of us got pinned down by Jaffa. You and I provided cover fire and allowed Kovitch and Ling to escape toward the gate. After they left, we were backed into a foxhole, well, that's the bast way to describe it. We sat silently in hiding together until the Jaffa passed, but we were pretty much out of ammo and couldn't make it back to the gate. So we sat there, occasionally hearing patrols. We knew they would never stop looking for us. Our only hope was Kovitvh and Ling.
"By the second day in that hole, I was about ready to give up. I was sure they weren't coming back, that they'd died on the way to the gate. But you told me something then that I've never forgotten. You said 'no matter how far from home you are, someone will come looking for you'. Not two hours later did Col. Crox and his search and rescue team pull us out of that foxhole. I never believed you before that day, but I've never doubted you since."
An uneasy quiet filled the room for what seemed like hours before Carter finally spoke. "We'll meet each other again."
"I don't know about that. I may have changed things too greatly."
The two worked longer into the night but by the time they went to bed, they had everything figured out except the burned out GDO.
When work resumed the next morning, Sirk entered the lab to find his ticket home, in pieces littered across the table. His jaw dropped and he tried to vocally express his hysterics but no words came out.
Carter saw the startled boy and quickly tried to ease his discomfort. "I can put it back together, don't worry." The boy simply closed his gapping mouth and sat down beside her.
As the two huddled over the GDO, Daniel entered the lab with some papers in a thick file under his arm. "How's it coming?" He greeted.
"It's coming along, within a few hours it should be fixed, if I can find the right parts. We're lucky it's only a few parts that need replacing. I doubt I could duplicate one of these with our current technology." Carter replied.
"Good to hear." Daniel responded and turned to leave.
Sirk looked hard at one of the files that was poking out of the folder under Daniel's arm and when he clearly saw the markings on one of the photographs he couldn't stop himself from speaking. "P3X-989."
Daniel stopped and turned to face Sirk. "You recognize these markings?"
Sirk immediately closed his mouth and wished he hadn't said anything. But he couldn't keep a straight face. With a smile on his face he answered Daniel. "Yes... yes I do."
"Can you help me with them?" Daniel inquired.
"No... I can't. I..." Sirk tried to keep his composure but found himself snickering.
"What's so funny?" Carter finally cut in.
"I don't get it either." Daniel added.
Between giggles and snickers, Sirk managed to respond. "You'll get it when you translate it..." Daniel decided he wouldn't get a straight answer from the boy, so he bid them farewell and left. Carter looked sternly at Sirk and asked again what was so funny.
"Just wait, you'll know." Carter gave up and went back to work on the GDO. Elsewhere on base, another group of scientists was busy rigging up the Naquadah reactors that would be needed for Sirk's journey home.
