Author's Note: Here's the next chapter, I hope you like this one too. Please be sure to read and review. Also note the suspense. ;) And, the next chapter will also tie in another aspect of SG-1's show, so stay tuned for that!
Everyone is asleep, except for this...night shift. Humans...how pathetic. They make me sick. Here I am, controlling one. At least this one looks better than my other host. This one does not have a pot belly.
Usually, Andre Macleod wouldn't have been thinking such thoughts, being an archaeologist, he was usually in one dig or another, but he was called to come to Atlantis and look into the past there.
On his last Earth dig, he had uncovered a beautiful jar. When he picked it up, the seal crumbled, and the contents of it disappeared into his lap. Later that day, he was called to Atlantis, and he went, but not as himself.
He was digging in Hapy's tomb, and that is where this mess all began. Hapy, the ancient Egyptian god of Innundation, was now controlling all his actions and reactions to the current surrounding environment. Hapy was also now about to do something that Andre protested at madly.
You cannot do this, not even you, Hapy. You used to bring the life giving water of the Nile to the people of Egypt. Give me control of my body and I will take you back there, allow you to rule once again.
Hear my words, Tau'ri. I am Hapy the goa'uld. I'd rather take over this unknown galaxy than return to...Earth.
Your people belong in the other galaxy. How do you expect to grow here, in this one? You have no power that you can draw from, no way to reproduce, you are doomed for failure.
Tau'ri, I will have silence from you, this must be done. I want to explore this place and take over the lives of the people here.
Your hunger for power eludes you from knowing your true doom here doesn't it?
SILENCE!
The bickering thoughts were silenced as he moved forward, into the pale light of the control center. He was going to get through that 'gate if he had to kill everyone in his path. He knew what he needed to do, but he was still weak from all the time in that...jar. This body, however, was strong, and would carry him through.
He had already disabled all the lights and power to the rest of the complex, but the simple night shift here didn't notice anything, and they wouldn't, at least not yet. Approaching the nearest person, Hapy took him out with a single move. Now he had to take out the rest of this night shift before he could go through with the next step of the plan.
McKay:
Nuts, I can't sleep. I need to figure out what is up with the lights.
Getting up, he tossed on some clothes and walked out his cracked door, having to push it open to let him through. Now he really needed to get to the control room and figure out what was going on.
The elevator wasn't working, so he decided to take the stairs. Walking up to the control room, he noticed that the lights there were still working. Getting closer, however, he saw someone walking around swiftly taking people out.
Panicking, Rodney didn't know what to do. Stepping back into the shadows, he tapped his radio, hoping it was working.
"Major Sheppard, please report to the control center, I think we have an intruder", Rodney whispered, hoping the other man would get the message.
Hissing into the radio, John sounded really grumpy, "What!?"
It was obvious he was getting dressed because of the extra noise on the radio, but Rodney ignored that so he could elaborate, "There is someone walking around, taking people out."
"I'm on my way, stay where you are", John called, apparently running now.
"Yes, stay were you are", the shadowed man smiled evilly as he approached the scientist.
Gulping, Rodney froze where he was, looking at the man's features, "Hey, aren't you Macleod?"
"Yes, Doctor McKay. But also no, I am Hapy, the goa'uld", the smile was one of arrogance.
Great, just what we need, another enemy here. And this one is a goa'uld. Wait, how did a goa'uld get here? Don't they do checks on these things?
Sheppard:
John was expecting Rodney to be playing a trick on him, but you never can tell with this guy. Walking in, he was shocked at what he saw. Rodney was being held at gun point in the middle of the control center where the dialing panel was. Immediately drawing his own weapon up to a ready position, John wondered why the night watch guys had been so lax. Then his mind fluttered back to the present.
No matter how very annoying Rodney was, he was still at gunpoint, and he looked like he was getting ready to 'pass out' any minute.
"Hi Major, I'd like you to meet Hapy, the goa'uld", Rodney greeted, plastering a nervous smile on his face.
"Put your weapon down and join us up here", the man said in a deep voice with a touch of accent.
John hesitated, "I don't think so, buddy. How about you let him go before he faints, and you follow me down here?"
Moving the weapon off of Rodney and training it on John, the mysterious Hapy was not happy, "You tell your Tau'ri friend to dial the Chaapa'ai."
Even though McKay didn't get along with Sheppard, he started to walk over to the panel to dial the 'gate. He didn't want bloodshed here.
"Move away from there, McKay, that's a direct order", John growled, looking as if he could care less about the weapon pointed at him.
"No", Rodney replied bravely, hoping this would end peacefully.
"Now, doctor", John glared between Rodney and Hapy, wondering for a small moment exactly what a goa'uld was.
Rodney started backing up, "Ok. You're funeral."
Then, the sound of gunfire ricocheted throughout the room and into the corridors.
