I believe this one is long, it could just be the breaks.
Chapter 27
Walking into the Infirmary to see Jonas, Andrea sees Sam standing with someone else, who is obviously alien. The man's green skin or appearance didn't bother her at all. Andrea walks in looking around for Dr. Fraiser. Everyday she had come to see him since the accident. "Andrea, there is someone we'd like you to meet." Sam called her from across the room.
"Hello." Andrea says walking up studying the man.
"Warrick, this is Dr. Andrea Jackson. Andrea this is Warrick." Sam says introducing Andrea to an alien she had never seen before.
"Hello, nice to meet you." Andrea says bowing.
"Nice to meet you as well. Jonas has told me you were in a wreck together." The alien says returning her greeting.
"Unfortunately yes, we were. How are you doing today?" Andrea asks Jonas, who is lying on the bed, sitting up bruises still evident on his face.
"I hurt. They are taking me off some of the medication so I'm awake." Jonas tries not to grimace too much.
Sam turns to Andrea grinning. "Warrick has asked me to enter a race with him." Sam says with lots of enthusiasm.
Andrea knew that was coming. "You have my blessing!" Andrea says smiling.
"Major Carter says you sometimes know the future, can you tells us how we will fare?" Warrick asks her.
"I take it you already know what is going to happen?" Sam would love to know if they will when, if they won't what they can do to win.
"Possible, but I don't want to mess with your chances since they need not be messed with." Andrea says sitting down in the Chair next to Jonas.
Sam nods. Andrea was developing what Daniel liked to call the prime directive. "I think that means we're going to do well." Sam says to Warrick enthusiastically.
Warrick looks at Sam, and then Andrea. "Then we shall trust your judgment." Warrick says to her.
Jonas looks at Andrea in surprise. "You're not even going to warn them about something?" Jonas asks her.
"No, they don't need it." Andrea opens the book she had been reading to Jonas.
Jonas turns to Sam. "You're going to do really well then." Jonas says.
"Just have fun, okay." Andrea says looking at the book. Sam and Warrick leave.
Alex Fletcher picks up Daniel's keyboard. "Alex you're trouble, you know that?" Andrea says as Alex Fletcher searches the archeology lab.
"Is that why Paul is allowed to stay at your house and I'm not even though my father paid for the house." Alex gentle picks up several objects and examines each one of the items on the desks.
Andrea sighs, wishing he would finish so she could go back to work. "Alex isn't right, that is why. Not with the business I do for your father." Andrea didn't want him in her house anyway he was too much trouble.
"Is this about what happened at the hotel?" Alex says laughing. He had his habits of turning places upside down before he would stay some where, he's CIA training had made him a very cautious man.
"When you took that CIA training it ruined you. You'll never marry woman if you have to search her place first!" Andrea laughs. "I see you pocketing those."
"There like candy!" Alex says referring to the bugs he has found within the room.
"I don't think Colonel O'Neill or General Hammond would agree with you." If it was one thing Alex love was placing the bugs back on the people who put them there in the first place.
"Yes well I love these, they do some good." Alex had a plan for these babies; one was destined to be attached to Senator Kinsey.
"If you're done, please go search else where so I can work." She missed Daniel a lot and if she could work it would help.
Kawalsky sits in the driver's seat of a hummer, driving while Andrea sits in the passenger's seat. "I still think you should have driven."
"No thanks, you drive and I'll shoot." Andrea says if they have trouble she doesn't want to be responsible for a crash.
"You'll want to test drive the SUV before you pick out the one you want to buy. Do you intend for me to do that too?" Kawalsky asks her, he liked that she asked him to go with her. He felt responsible for the accident since he didn't protect her.
Andrea tensely watches the scenery outside the car. "I expect you to check out the engine. I will test drive the vehicle." She decided that a fast car just wasn't for her anymore, it screamed single woman. She was married now.
Kawalsky grins. "Just remember not to let the dealer swindle you."
Andrea laughs. "I just might swindle him instead, how about that?" Andrea had a way with salesmen.
"Go for it!" Kawalsky says pulling up to the Toyota dealership. Andrea hops out of the vehicle and begins looking while Kawalsky parks.
When Andrea pulled up to the house and parked in front of the garage, Joyce White was taking to Major Davis on the front porch. Hopping out of her Toyota Sequoia, Major Davis called to her, "Andrea, Mrs. White would like to speak with you."
"Hello Mrs. White, I see you've met the Major." Andrea says pulling her briefcase out of the back of the SUV.
"Yes, he was telling me that you and Dr. Quinn were in an accident." Mrs. White says looking at her suspiciously.
The noise woman couldn't keep away from them. "Yes it we were." Andrea lets the Major into the house and gives him a key.
Mrs. White looks at Andrea. "I was wondering if he was seeing anyone, my daughter is in town and..."
"I'm sure he would have like to, but he's stuck where he is at the moment. I'm sure he would like to meet her. I'll let him know tomorrow then when she comes back you can introduce them." Andrea says looking at the woman who was constantly asking her questions, checking on them, and even more.
Mrs. White looks around. "Where is your husband this evening?"
"He's working and won't be back for a while yet. Now if you'll excuse me, I brought work home and need to get it done." Andrea says holding her screen door open.
"Okay thank you, give Dr. Quinn my best." Mrs. White turns and walks back to her house.
Andrea walks into the house shuts the door and locks it. Walking to the kitchen she sets her briefcase down opens it, and pulls out her laptop turns it on and grabs a casserole dish out of the freezer. "Major, dinner will be done in an hour." Turning on the oven she pulls the top off the dish and puts in the oven.
"Is Mrs. White always like that?" The Major asks coming up from the mid-level.
"Yes, I had to change my morning skate schedule to avoid her like the plague." Andrea says opening her wireless internet program.
"I try to do the same, thanks for letting me use the garage." The Major says sitting at the bar. "What's for dinner?"
"Ham and potatoes and beans with a fruit salad." Andrea says being to search through University text. "If you want there are cookies in a jar, I'm going to get wrapped up in this for a while so do what ever you want, the computer downstairs has access to the internet too."
Andrea had fixed dinner for the Major, but between that and her research she did nothing else. When Major Davis got up the next morning she was still sitting at her laptop in the kitchen drinking coffee. Her hair was a little mussed where she had run her fingers through it, and her eyes were bloodshot, with light blue around them. Her dinner plate lay out untouched next to the laptop she sat at staring at. The Major wondered what she was working on that she would be up all night, especially when she wasn't needed at the SGC this morning. "Did you get any sleep?" He asks pouring himself a cup of coffee out of a fresh pot.
"No, I couldn't if I tried." Andrea continues to look at the computer screen.
"Which project are you working on?" He asked pulling a piece of toast off a plate she had made for him, she had eaten hers.
"The "meaning of life" stuff as Daniel calls it along with some other things I've done at least 100 translations or more since I've been working at the SGC. I've got to find something, which will help with some things about the Ascended." She cuts herself off and continues to read the text in front of her.
Paul knew SG-1 was work obsessive, he'd seen it before. It wasn't unusual to him that Andrea would be the same. "I can go upstairs and try to help? I don't know how much help I'll be." The Major watches her furiously shake her head at the text and click on another web link. "How many of those have you gone through?"
"I've read about 300; I've scanned over a thousand." Andrea says reading about artifact in a Roman Museum. In an instant she jumped off the stool which had been her seat and ran down the stairs to the office an shut the door.
"Okay." The Major says looking at the site. Celtic artifacts brought back by roman soldiers.
In the office Andrea sits on the phone on an overseas call on hold, in rush Italian she asks to speak to the curator of the Museum. "Ciao, sì sto denominando circa e manufatto." Andrea spoke the man's fluent language so well she had him confused, he rushed Italian was too much for him. When the man on the phone finally agreed that he had the artifact, she blessed him six times. She quickly told him she would be there on the fasts flight she could get. Andrea opened the door of the study to see the Major watching Fox News. "Major how fast can you get on a flight to Italy?"
"Why?" Davis asks.
Andrea looks at him. Her appearance is that of someone who has slept in days. Her demander is that of someone who lacks patience. "There is an object in a museum that may help me with a translation; Daniel will want to see it as soon as he returns home. If I go now I can get it before someone else realizes what it is."
"I can get you on a flight in an hour, I think." The Major rushes to a phone and calls the some contacts, if this thing was important she better get it.
When Andrea returned for packing he had the flight set up. "They're ready as soon as you are. You can call me Paul when I'm not on duty."
"Thanks Paul, I'll leave the Sequoia and take your government car. If Daniel returns before I get back, let him know what I'm doing. You don't mind checking on Jonas for me either do you?"
"No, not at all. Good luck."
"Thanks, I think I may need it." Andrea says before rushing out the front door.
"Welcome Back SG-1" Sergeant Davis said as they come down the ramp on Monday morning.
Sam was miffed with Andrea because they didn't win. They did however get an Ion generator to study. O'Neill waves to Davis and turns to Carter. "Briefing at 1400?"
"Yes sir, I want to find Andrea first and talk to her." Sam says as they walk out of the gate room.
"I'm going to go with Sam then say hello to Jonas. I'm sure he'll want to hear about what happened." Daniel says pointing in the direction Carter went.
O'Neill nods and turns to Teal'c. "Okay, see you later. Shower T?"
"Of course O'Neill one should look well for the briefing." Teal'c said as they headed for the Lockers.
Major Davis is with Jonas when Sam and Daniel walk in. "Hey Jonas, how are you doing?" Sam asks looking at Jonas who was doing much better.
Jonas smiles at his returning visitors. "Pretty good, Doc says I can go home tomorrow. I'm getting cabin fever sitting in here all day." Jonas says smiling at them.
Daniel smiles, cabin fever goes around after painful missions. It was nothing new. "Good to here. Have you seen Andrea in a while?" Daniel asks he and Sam had searched but found no signs of her.
Davis looks up. "Ah, she left for Italy Saturday morning. She said there was something she need for a translation and you would want to see it when you got back. She wanted the first flight out." Major Davis said looking at Daniel Jackson for a reaction.
Sam looks surprised. "Did Major Kawalsky go with her?" Sam asks.
"No she went with some new guys going to the Embassy there. Some SF's were going to escort her around." The Major says looking at his watch.
Daniel knowing his wife well wonders if is a piece of technology. "Did she say which artifact it was?" Daniel asks him.
Davis shakes his head. "No, I'm sorry. She was in a very big hurry." The Major stands up.
Davis steps back from the group. "I'd better find Colonel O'Neill; General Hammond gave me a message for him. You're welcome to call the airfield and ask when her flight comes in." The Major says good bye and leaves.
Daniel thinks why Italy most artifact of importance would be in Egypt. "Did she say anything to you about what it was she was looking for Jonas?" Daniel asks still wandering what she would want that would be in Italy.
"I'm sorry Daniel; she didn't say anything to me." Jonas says just as confused.
"I wonder what it is that she would leave with out a team." Sam says to Daniel.
"I guess we wait and see." Daniel says, his mind racing.
On the flight home Andrea clutched the necklace tightly, some how it gave her a feeling of comfort. Something about it called to her, just like the one around her neck. If this necklace was the key to translation some glyphs she found on a lone world, she would have some idea of what happened on earth long ago. Lost in thought she asks for someone to drive her back to Cheyenne Mountain.
Walking down the hall of the SGC, Andrea sees Daniel in a corridor walking his back to her. Andrea immediately calls to him. "Daniel, you have to see this." Andrea runs to him holding the necklace out.
Daniel turns to his wife's voice, looks and smiles. "What is that?"
Andrea runs toward him. "Look!" Andrea says sounding demanding. Andrea pushes the necklace into her husband's hand.
Daniel studies the necklace that looks exactly like Andrea's only the inscription on the back is in an ancient Gaelic language. "This is what you went to Rome for?"
Andrea nods excited. "Yes, Daniel holds it in your hand for a moment. How does it make you feel?"
Daniel holds the object in his hand. A warm, light feeling fills his entire body. "I feel almost light? Is it giving off energy?"
"I don't know, but watch." Andrea takes off her necklace and places the pennant of the ancient one and they fit together making one large pennant.
"This is Amazing we have to show this to everyone." Daniel says shocked that the objects acted as if they were made for one another.
In the briefing room SG-1 passes around the necklaces. Andrea stands watching everyone not speaking.
"This is amazing, it does give off energy but it makes you feel warm almost." Sam speaks holding the object from Rome in her hand.
"You're telling us this is Ancient?" General Hammond asks Daniel.
Daniel nods very excited. "Yes, but the inscription on the one that came from Rome isn't Ancient or Latin writing it's Gaelic a very old form similar to Latin." Daniel says handing a book to General Hammond. Sam passes the Necklace to Teal'c.
"Is that possible Dr. Jackson?" Teal'c asks him holding the necklace then passing it to O'Neill.
O'Neill grunts something holding the necklace. Turning it over he remember something from when he had the Knowledge of the Ancients in his head. That had never happened before, jumping up he drops the necklace swearing. "Hell."
Daniel turns to his friend. "Jack?" Daniel asks
Carter looks at O'Neill as well. "Colonel are you alright?" Carter asks.
Teal'c picks up the necklace and hands it to O'Neill. "I'm not sure I should touch that thing. I can tell you what it says." O'Neill says a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"How is that possible?" General Hammond asks.
"Maybe it activated the Knowledge of the Ancients." Daniel says taking it from Teal'c.
"What does it says Colonel?" Major Carter asks.
"'The Temple Key.' Temple Key which Temple and where?" Jack says to Daniel then looks at Andrea.
"I don't know, Andrea?" Daniel asks taking it to her. Andrea stands still, with a slight waver. Andrea's eyes are blue and almost glassy.
"Dr. Jackson are you alright?" The General addresses her.
Andrea can't hear anything anymore, she didn't remember when. One moment she hear voice the next it was silence. Some times she was in the conference room other moments she was in a temple far away. Andrea feels light headed when she is in the conference room.
"Is she having a vision again?" Sam walks up to look at Andrea's expression that was almost blank, if it was a horrible vision she would be in pain. On the other hand if it was good she had a different expression.
Andrea wasn't answering them. Daniel looked at her afraid to touch her, not know what she was seeing. When she collapsed he caught her. "Andrea! Andrea answer me!" Daniel gently lays her on the floor.
"I'll go call Dr. Fraiser." General Hammond says leaving the room.
Kneeling Sam looks at her pupils. "It's almost as if she's alert." Sam ignores the blueness in Andrea's eyes; she'd seen it before when Andrea was talking about Daniel.
"It is strange that she said nothing while we were speaking?" Teal'c says looming over her.
O'Neill walks over and lays his hand on Daniel's shoulder. "Daniel, put the necklace on her." Jack says. The thought came to him from no where.
"Why Colonel?" Sam asks.
"I don't know. It's something that came to mind." Jack says looking at the necklace in Daniel's hand.
"Okay, Jack." Daniel lays the Necklace in Andrea's hand and closes holding it for her.
"Maybe Dr. Fraiser should look at you too Colonel?" Sam says looking at him.
General Hammond walks in followed by Dr. Fraiser. "She just collapsed."
Fraiser walks in and moves to Andrea's side pushing Daniel out of the way. Fraiser pulls out her pen light and looks at Andrea's eyes. "What was she like before? Has she moved or come to at all?"
Daniel stands up looking down at his wife and the Doctor. "No, Janet she's never done this before ever. Not even at home." Daniel says looking worried.
Sam on Andrea's other side speaks. "She seemed to relax a little when Daniel put the necklace in her hand. Colonel O'Neill suggested we do it, he's also remembering something from when the Knowledge of the Ancients."
"Let's get her and the Colonel to the infirmary, I want to do a full exam on both of them." Dr. Fraiser says looking at Andrea.
"It's got something to do with the necklace." Sam says as they place Andrea on the Gurney.
Janet stood before Colonel O'Neill who was swinging his legs while sitting on a bed. "You're fine, nothing is wrong and I can't explain why that thing makes you recall the Knowledge of the Ancients." She said looking at him.
O'Neill feels concerned for his friend. "What about AJ?" Jack asks standing up.
Fraiser frowns, hating the unknown. "She's still out of it. Her brain pattern seems to match, what it is when she has a vision. This artifact may have triggered something. I'm not really an expert on visions."
"Daniel when to check your translation, he said it was correct." Janet says watching him look at her.
"Yes, where is Andrea?" Jack looks as if his brain is working. A thought coming out of no where giving him ideas.
"She's in the Iso-lab." Janet says to him, as he walks toward Jonas.
O'Neill stops in front of Jonas. "You know what's going on right?" Jack asks him.
"General Hammond told me." Jonas says to Jack.
"Doc. I have a hunch." Jack runs, grabs a wheel chair and pulls it up to Jonas's bed. "Let's go for a ride Jonas."
Fraiser watches a little concerned. O'Neill acted like this before when he had the knowledge of the Ancients. "What are you doing Colonel?"
"I have no Idea." Jack says helping Jonas into the chair.
O'Neill wheels Jonas into the Iso-Lab up to Andrea and stops it. As if led by something else he took the necklace and placed it around Andrea's neck. Daniel and Carter watching from above question him. "Jack what the hell are you doing."
"Janet what is he doing?" Sam says watching Dr. Fraiser monitor Jack's actions and Andrea signs.
"I'm following a hunch. Trust me." Jack says turning to them. "Jonas take her hand." Jack steps back and pulls the Doctor with him.
"Are you sure?" Jonas asks looking at the doc to see if it is ok.
"Let's see what happens." The Doctor says having no clue what the Colonel is thinking.
The minute Jonas takes her hand he feels a kind of energy he's never felt before. He slowly begins to feel the residual pain of the accident leave him and something almost pure and light flow throughout his body. He had felt that before when Ayiana had healed him. "I don't believe it." Jonas cried.
"What is it Jonas?" Sam asks from the room above.
"She healed me." Jonas stands up and everyone looks in shock as Jack shakes his head.
Andrea eyes flutter and Daniel calls out. "Doc. she's waking up!" Daniel then bolts from the room.
"Okay, I'm awake. Anyone want to fill me in on why I'm in here?" Andrea sits up and looks at Jonas who is standing and says, "Holy. . ." She closes her mouth again before saying anything else. Andrea's eyes are clear of blue and shine a brilliant violet.
"You did it not me!" Jack says looking at her shocked face.
The door opens and Daniel runs in. "What happened to you?" Daniel runs to her and asks.
Andrea looks at her husband just as concerned. "I believe someone asked about which temple the key was too?" That was the last thing she remembered.
"That would be Jack." Daniel says grinning.
"Jonas I want to see what happened you're the next to be examined." Janet says this was a strange day if she ever had one.
Sam walks in with a wondered look upon her face. "I don't understand how the Colonel Knew that she could heal him." She says looking from Jack, Jonas and Andrea.
Andrea takes the necklace off and a piece of the pennant comes off into her hand she reads the new inscription and Hands it to Jack. "I think this is for you."
"Let me see that Jack?" Daniel says taking it from him. Daniel looks at the inscription but cannot read it. "What does it say?"
"I think it says father of an old race." Looking a Jack she shrugs.
"What does it reference?" Sam asks looking at it.
"I don't know, but I'll ask Thor next time I see him. He's from and old race he may know." Jack says standing confused as the rest.
Fraiser looks at Andrea. "Okay, let see if we can find out what you did to Jonas, Not that I'm not grateful but I have to know."
"Its okay, what ever it is gone now, I feel great and so does Jonas and that Temple Vision had half an address." Andrea looks at Sam and smiles.
