Ch. 4
(P5X-879)
There was a Roman town on one side of the Stargate a few miles away. And on the other there was a huge coliseum. The planet seemed to have been abandoned a few hundred years ago.
"Alright, I want Jonas and AJ to check out the town. Teal'c and Carter, you're with me," Jack ordered.
They all nodded and went their ways.
(P5X-879, Town)
Aurora and Jonas walked around the streets of the old, abandoned town. It was eerie. There were bodies all over the place, all of which had weapons gouged in them. AJ dragged her feet as she slowly walked around, making the dirt raise up.
"These guys didn't die in a very nice way," Aurora commented.
"What happened here?" Jonas asked.
"I have no idea," she told him.
AJ coughed slightly. Then Jack radioed her.
"Hey, AJ, find anything interesting yet?" he asked.
"Nope," she said.
"There are skeletons everywhere, Colonel," Jonas spoke into his radio. "They all have swords, axes and other weapons stuck in them."
"This doesn't feel right, Jack. Something terrible happened here. I can sense it," Aurora said.
"Alright, meet us back at the 'Gate. We'll floor this one," Jack said on the other end of the radio.
"We're on our way," AJ told him.
(SGC, Briefing Room)
Aurora sat at the briefing room table, tapping her pen against the table irritably. She didn't mind going to the Debriefings much. But, for some reason she was oddly touchier since they got back form P5X-879. Maybe it was just hormones from the pregnancy.
"As far as we could tell, the Goa'ulds haven't been to P5X-879 for thousands of years," Sam was saying.
Before Sam could continue, AJ sighed heavily and loudly. Everyone in the room stared at her.
"Sorry," AJ said.
She stopped tapping the pen abruptly.
"Are you feeling well, Aurora Jackson?" Teal'c asked.
"I'm fine, Teal'c. I'm just egger to get home, I guess," she said.
"You were dreading to go home this morning," Jonas said.
"I'm just tired," Aurora said.
"As soon as Dr. Fraiser checks you over one more time," he told her.
(SGC, Infirmary)
Once the briefing was over, AJ slowly made her way to the Infirmary. Janet looked up from her folder and said:
"You're Adrenaline Levels are higher than normal. I'd like to take some more extensive blood tests, just to be sure,"
Aurora sighed and nodded.
30 minutes later . . .
"Well, I haven't detected any other thing that's wrong with you," Dr. Fraiser told her. "But, I'd like for you to stay on base for a 24 hour observation."
AJ groaned loudly.
(SGC, Aurora's Office)
AJ sat at her desk in her office, her back to the opened door, flipping through random books. She felt someone at the doorframe of the room. Aurora slammed the book shut, irritably.
"Were you planning on actually coming in my office or were you just gonna stand there all day," she said icily.
"How'd you know I was here?" Jonas asked, stepping in.
"I'm an Empath remember?" she answered shortly, trying not to sound annoyed.
"Right, of course," he said. "Are you alright? It's just that you're not acting like yourself."
"I'm fine. I just want out of this mountain!" Aurora took in a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "I gotta go blow off some steam. I'll be in the gym if anybody needs me."
AJ walked out of her office, with Jonas following her.
"I'll join you. I've always loved a good work out," he said, trying to keep up with her.
"Fine," she grinned evilly.
Aurora turned to look at him. Her eyes glowed violet.
"I'm taking you to the Infirmary," Jonas said, taking her arm gently.
"No!" she shouted, throwing Jonas to the ground.
AJ ran down the corridor until an SF finally stopped her. He held on to her tightly as she struggled to get loose. Jonas got up and called for Janet. Dr. Fraiser came running, holding some sedative. Once Janet gave AJ the sedative, Aurora stopped struggling and collapsed. Jonas and Janet caught her before she could hit the ground.
"What was that about?" Jonas asked.
"I don't know. But, I'm willing to find out," Janet looked up to the SF. "let's get her to the Infirmary. Come on let's go!"
The SF carried AJ to the Infirmary with Jonas and Janet behind him.
