Chapter 21

Andrea and O'Neill are transported to Thor's ship. "What still no hello. Scottie's beaming you up. Anything." O'Neill says to Andrea.

Thor appears in front of the Colonel. "O'Neill, you asked for my help."

"Hey, I didn't ask, she asked." Jack says point to Andrea.

"Shall I bring the gate aboard?" Thor asks.

"No I'll have to arrange that." O'Neill says looking at Thor.

"Then do so." Thor puts him back where he found O'Neill.

Andrea nods. "Thank you, Thor. I need to return to Kelowna to check on them. The how the problem is?"

"Freyer can take you." Thor says looking at her.

Andrea knows the Colonel Ronson won't be receptive to her alone. "I know if I don't go with gate O'Neill may go a little crazy. And they cannot, not go with gate."

"That is a problem then." Thor says agreeing with Andrea.

Andrea thinks for a moment then looks at Thor. "If I record it could you send a ship to do it for me?"

"Yes, that would work. You can do it while you take the gate." Thor says know Andrea knows how to record Holograms using Asgard technology.

Andrea smiles know that she can continue her watch over Kelowna safely without anyone else's interference. "Thank you. If you would return me I'll let you know when we are ready."

Sam and Andi stand in the Major's lab. "Colonel O'Neill says he's ready, Thor." Major Carter says through the link.

Daniel walks into the room, dropping a book. "Wait, we're not!" Daniel says picking up some things he dropped.

Andrea walks over to Daniel. "Tell him to go ahead, I'll get everything Daniel." Andrea says helping Daniel stand up. The five of them are transported to Thor's ship along with the Stargate.

"My stuff?" Daniel asks.

Andrea walks over to a consol. "I got it. Hey Sam come check this out." Andrea brings up the rest of Daniel's things.

"This is new!" Sam says looking at the consol.

Andrea looks at Sam who is looking at her equipment. "Yeah, you know how to us this right?"

"I think so." Sam answers looking up.

"Good. Come on Jack, I want to show you something." Andrea walks to the door and waits for O'Neill. "We'll be back in a minute."

"Where are you going?" Daniel asks.

Andrea smiles at Daniel. "To send Thor to Freyer ship. Sam can show you where it is." Andrea points to the consol.

O'Neill looks at the Major. "Take us to Oz, Carter! We're going to send the wizard on his way."

"He's giving us the ship?" Daniel asks wonder if the Asgard would really leave them alone on one of their ships.

"He's letting me bower it, me!" Andrea says leading Jack down the corridor.

"Thor must trust Andrea a great deal." Teal'c says looking at Carter.

"And us for that matter." Daniel says curiously.

O'Neill walks next to Andrea down the corridor. "I can't believe he's letting us borrow the ship." O'Neill says to Andrea.

"Yes, well if an Asgard ship appeared out of the blue and I said to Colonel Ronson, I'm Dr. Andrea Jackson, I'm bring you a third gate we found on earth he'd ask where you are and I'd be in a pickle." Andrea smiles at the Colonel.

Jack turns to Andrea sarcastically. "You think so?"

"From what Jonas told me yes." Andrea nods.

At the end of the Corridor a door opens for them and Thor stands waiting. "Please return my ship in one piece O'Neill" Thor says.

"I will buddy." O'Neill says

"I will send the message through when I'm finished." Andrea says before transporting Thor over to Freyr's ship.

"That was easy. This is a nice ship is it new?" O'Neill asks her.

"Yes, it is one of several being built." Andrea says showing him around the ship. "A smaller ship is being built for me as we speak."

O'Neill looks at her surprised. "For you? Do I get one?"

"I don't know Jack." Andrea says as they return to the bridge of the ship.

"So where did he put the gate?" He asks her.

Andrea grins. "In the hold, have the Major show you when we get back to the bridge."

"Has a nice view from here." O'Neill says looking out the window at Earth.

"Yes, it does." Andrea and O'Neill walk into the control room.

"Is Thor on his way?" Daniel asks as the two walk into the room.

"Yeah, Andrea says the Asgard are building her a small ship." O'Neill grins wickedly.

Andrea notices Sam and Daniel's expressions. "Yes, but it will be a while before it's finished. The Asgard are still trying to catch-up with technology that Anubis has."

"What about replacing the O'Neill?" Sam asks grinning at the Colonel.

Andrea smiles and look at Daniel, then the Colonel. "The O'Neill 2 was in its first stages when I last saw it."

"Another ship, named after me huh?" O'Neill grins.

Andrea laughs, "There is also a Carter being built now as well."

"Wow, after me?" Sam says.

Andrea smiles and looks at her husband. "Yes, the small ship being built for me is called the Valkyrie 1."

"Why are they building you a ship Andrea?" Daniel asks walking toward her.

"So that I can run my own errands, with out having to borrow someone else's ship." Andrea looks at his face, holding back wanting to touch him.

"Do you run lots of errands Andrea Jackson?" Teal'c asks her.

"On a monthly basis yes, I check in on worlds when it's possible for me to get away." Andrea looks at the ship's course and speed. "The Prometheus is in this region it will take at least three days to get there."

"Three days to sit and wait huh?" O'Neill looks bored already.

Andrea rolls her eyes. "If you want I intend to work."

"Major Carter is going to study the engines." Teal'c says to O'Neill.

Andrea looks at O'Neill. "Why don't you and Teal'c take a look at the weapons and shields?"

O'Neill shrugs at that not finding the idea to his interest. "What are you doing Daniel?"

Daniel looks at his bored friend. "I'm trying to translate this, and Andrea asked me to help find the myth, about the Destruction of the Temple of Artemis."

O'Neill turns to Andi. "And you?"

Andrea looks at him and gives her laundry list of tasks. "I'm going to monitor communications, and do some reports. And record some messages, which I need to, do now. Major, if you would monitor this every two hours. I'll be here. It's going to take a few hours. So you guys can run the ship with out crashing it."

O'Neill looks at Andrea then Major Carter. "Sure, Carter can do anything? Can't you Carter?"

Carter looks at her superior. "Not everything, but these systems seem easier than before."

"Good, I'll be back later." Andrea leaves.

"So Teal'c you want to go poke around with me?" O'Neill asks Teal'c. Teal'c nods. "We'll be back later."

Daniel looks at his friend. "Don't get lost Jack."

"Teal'c will get us back. Right T?" O'Neill turns to Teal'c.

"Indeed." Teal'c says following O'Neill out the door.

"Daniel, I amazed at the way you and Andi remain professional." Sam says making further study of the ship's control room.

Daniel smiles thinking of his lovely wife. "Thanks, you don't notice it, but the way we look at each other says how much we love each other."

Sam laughs. "Oh, I notice. You're very good at separating what is work and what is relationship. The two of you act very professional in front of people when you're on base. I find it strange just now that she got down to business and didn't discuss anything with you."

Daniel nods. "She told me before we left that, she had something important to do. She seemed focused on that since Thor arrived."

Sam looks up at her friend. "She did tell you what it was?"

"She said it was something about allies, she seemed angry too." Daniel sits down and pulls out his notebook and several books.

"Allies, no who or what, she's becoming more mysterious than Teal'c." Sam observes.

"Not really, she's going on a need to know basis. Whatever is she's doing now, though I've never seen her get angry so fast." Daniel confides in Sam.

Sam looks at Daniel slightly confused. "She didn't seem angry?"

"She blew up this morning; she was talking to Jonas when I was coming into the room. He said something, and she got really angry." Daniel looks up from his books."She's very good at hiding feelings, or expressing them."

"That she is." Sam agrees.

O'Neill and Teal'c stand in the corridor. "Where did she go?" Jack asks.

"I did not see O'Neill." Teal'c says looking around the corridors.

"Oh well, it's this way." Jack and Teal'c head toward the weapons part of the ship.

Andrea walks into a medium size room and locks the door. Setting certain controls, she then walks and stands in a certain spot and begins to speak.

"Welcome, first this is a recording. I'm Dr. Andrea Jackson. All of you are very lucky. By saving the life of someone who has now become my friend, I saved your planet from an introduction with a Goa'uld called Anubis. It is time for you to resolved your problems and have peace so that when you do encounter the Goa'uld for the first time you will not lose so many of your people to their power. The Kelownan government knows what I'm talking about. It is to their advantage to share this information with you. Also they have built a Naquidra bomb. This bomb was used. The Tiraina and Andari government are in the process of building there own. Stop immediately. If you don't I will be force to take actions to stop you. For now, I suggest that you become humble; I have the power to force your hand. Before each of you is a device with a copy of this message for your governments. Before you leave a message will play telling you how to use them. The Andari and Terranian devices also include information on the goa'uld. I highly suggest that someone from the Kelownan government contacts Earth soon and asks for me and only me. If this is not done, I will be back, in person. Any further loss of life in your silly war is not necessary and will only anger me. You have ten minutes before the next message plays; use the time to become acquainted. You will be returned to where you were taken. I suggest you follow my advice."

Andrea returns to the consol makes some edits then returns to the platform to record more messages.

Daniel smiles when Andrea comes whistling into the control room, 4 hours later. "You look ravishing."

"Why thank you, it must be the relief." Andrea sits next to Daniel

Daniel notices the change in his wife's mood and face. "What did you do?"

"I took out my anger on those it was directed to." Andrea says feeling relaxed.

Daniel laughs. "That works for Jack too."

Andrea smiles and chuckles a little. "I noticed. Is he still poking around?"

Daniel nods. "Yeah, I saw Sam a minute ago; she's having a blast looking at the engines."

Andrea smiles. "I thought she would. I left her a surprise."

Daniel grins. "She told me you left her some graphics of it."

"Then she liked them." Andrea asks.

Daniel takes Andrea's hand. "Yes, she lost tract of time once."

"It's ok." Andrea kisses Daniel. "You know I love you."

"I love you too." Daniel kisses her back. "I found it."

"Bless you!" Andrea hugs him gratefully. "It was driving me nuts."

"I translated it too." Daniel smiles know it would make his wife happy.

"Then I owe you." Andrea looks at him grinning.

"Maybe." Daniel says planning something in his head.

Daniel and Andi sit on the bridge eating. Andrea answers one of Daniel's questions. "I do." Andrea stands up and walks to the consol and moves some buttons around. "Here that?"

Daniel looks up from his food to his wife. "Yes, what is it? It sounds like Asgard."

"Yeah, I understand what they are saying too." Andrea says, her eyes listening to the messages.

Daniel asks her. "New second language to you then?"

"Better than my I can Gaelic." Andrea says grinning.

"Really, what are they talking about?"

"Where ships are, the state of things in the universe." Andrea says listening to the sounds. After hearing something she turns to the consol and quickly pulls the ship out of Hyperdrive.

The ships stops and they can barely feel it. "What just happened?"

"I had to stop the ship until. I need to make a course correction." Andrea says still at the consol

"Why, what did they say?" Daniel wonders.

Andrea leaves the Consol and walks back to Daniel. "It's not safe to go straight anymore. Anubis has gain control of an area that we were going to go through. Now we have to go around."

"Daniel what happened?" Sam says over the radio.

Andrea holds her radio. "Problems, you and Colonel O'Neill should report up here."

"What kind of problems AJ?" Jack asks calling her by the SF's pet name.

"We can't go straight anymore." Andrea replies into her radio.

"Care to elaborate on why?" O'Neill voice says over her radio.

"What's wrong" Sam enters the room and looks at Andrea.

Andrea points to the consol. "Look at the screen."

"Why did we stop?" Jack and Teal'c enter the room looking bewildered "I thought this would be a smooth trip."

Sam touches something on the consol and a map appears on a larger screen. "Anubis just defeated a minor goa'uld here, now we have to go the long way around."

O'Neill looks at them. "Can we do anything?"

"No, not now. Are trip just got lengthen by a day too." Andrea say know the Colonel would like some action.

"Why can't we go this way?" Sam asks point to a region Andrea avoided.

Andrea's tone changes suddenly. "Never go there alone. You should tell Colonel Ronson to avoid that area too."

"Why?" O'Neill asks.

"Bad things happen there." Andrea says looking away.

"What do you mean?" Daniel and Sam ask.

"It's not safe, that's all I know." Andrea hides her lie well.

O'Neill accepts her answer. "Hey, if Thor says it's not safe I'm inclined to believe him."

Andrea picks up her coffee. "I'm glad; Thor wants to keep his new ship."

O'Neill grins. "He does he?"

Sam laughs. "He wasn't keen on what we did to the O'Neill sir."

SG-1 and Andrea sit on the bridge. Andrea stares at Daniel, looking up from her notes. Daniel looks up and stares back. O'Neill groans. "Go back to your room you two."

Sam snickers. "They can't were almost there."

O'Neill scowls. "I swear the two of you glow, when you're in the same room together."

"Really? Maybe Sam should to see if we're giving of some kind of energy." Andrea jokes.

"I don't think I can detect that kind of energy Andi." Sam jokes along with her.

Teal'c turns to O'Neill. "Do you find their love disturbing O'Neill?"

"No, I just think.." Jack groans again. "Never mind."

"I think he's sick of us staring at each other." Daniel says looking at his wife.

Andrea stands up and walks to the controls. "We should be coming out of Hyperdrive anytime now. You should get ready colonel."

"Ah, finally I won't have to stare at those two much longer." O'Neill sighs with relief.

Daniel stands up. "You stare at Andrea?" Daniel asks walking up to Jack.

O'Neill puts out his hands. "Whoa, slow down Daniel, you two ooze chemistry. It draws attention."

"He doesn't just stare at me Daniel!" Andrea says laughing.

"What else does he do?" Daniel asks.

"He." Andrea is cut off.

"If you even then about it, I'll kill you." O'Neill says as they approach the Prometheus.

"My mouth is sealed shut. Hailing the Prometheus now." Andrea looks at O'Neill and says "Prometheus do you copy?"

"How can I help the Asgard?" Colonel Ronson asks.

"Can you put me over there?" O'Neill asks Sam.

"Colonel O'Neill is that you?" Ronson says over the radio.

Sam sends Jack to the Prometheus. "Sam you guys go, I'll stay and man the ship."

"Are you sure?" O'Neill says hate leaving anyone alone.

"Yeah, go I'll join you when the ship gets picked up." Andrea beams Sam, Teal'c and Daniel over to the Prometheus bridges along with all their gear. Andrea then sends a signal to the Asgard that she's reached her destination.
