You guys seemed to enjoy the first chapter... I'm glad! Here's some more... Enjoy.
Oh by the way, there will be no shipper, no slash and no romance in this story. Just hardcore Stargate action!
SG-1 returns to the safety of the SGC to find something is wrong. The power is out, the gate room is a mess and everyone is missing.
Empty Halls: Security Station Alpha
"OK, so what now?" Daniel said. This situation was getting spookier by the second.
"Calm down Danny-boy. Carter, can we use the intercoms?"
"No sir. Everything is offline except the emergency lights and it seems only half of those are functional."
"Can you get main power back?"
"No sir, not from here. It seems the power was cut manually, therefore I need to go down to the main control room and see where the problem is."
"Let's try the radios. Sierra Gulf One to any Stargate Command personnel, do you copy? Over." Very faint radio static filled the air. The colonel tried again. "Is there anyone out there? Over." No response.
"OK, this is what we're gonna do. Carter, you and Teal'c head down to the main control room and find the problem. Daniel and I are gonna scout around for any signs of life. Keep your radios on and watch your backs." With that the group of four split up. Colonel O'Neill decided to head to the briefing room first. He and Daniel climbed the spiral staircase and found the room was in perfect order. All the papers on the table were in neat little piles, the chairs were tucked in and a jug of coffee and cups stood in the center of the table. O'Neill approached the coffee and felt the jug, the coffee was ice cold.
"This is very weird." Daniel broke the silence. The two men then went to the window and looked down into the gate room. From up here they saw the full extent of the damage. O'Neill decided it would take more than a new coat of paint to fix this mess. Siler would be busy over the next few weeks.
"Com'on Daniel, let's head to the infirmary." The two made their way through the dark halls. Halfway to the infirmary they had to turn their flashlights on to navigate the total darkness of many of the corridors. When they reached the infirmary they were shocked at what they saw.
"Someone made a stand here." The colonel explained as he took in the sights around him. The beds had been flipped onto their sides to act as barriers that faced the doorways. The whole center of the room was clear except for the massive weapons cache that included, strangely enough, a rocket launcher.
"Is that what I think it is?" Daniel asked pointing to the rocket launcher.
"Yep."
"Isn't it suicide to use that in this closed space?"
"Yep, someone must've been desperate." They entered the center of the room and grabbed some extra ammo. From their new position they could see more shell casings littering the floor as well as some small puddles of blood and a bit of blood splatter on the walls.
"Carter." The colonel spoke into his radio. "How's it coming?"
Carter and Teal'c had made their way to the main control room and now stood looking at the mangled mess of wires on the walls of the room.
"Colonel, this room's a mess; it looks like someone took a chainsaw to the main power circuitry." Came the reply over the radio.
"Any chance of fixing it?"
"Negative sir."
"Understood. Carter, let's meet in security station alpha."
"Understood sir. Carter out."
"Come on, Daniel, let's meet Carter."
The colonel and Daniel were the first to reach the security room. O'Neill tried the door handle. It was locked. He swiped his security card but the panel was dead. So he lowered his P-90, took a few steps away from the door and prepared to ram it.
"Jack that might not be-"
"I know what I'm doing Daniel." O'Neill took a running start and rammed the door with his right shoulder. The door didn't budge and O'Neill quickly grabbed for his shoulder. Daniel went to speak. "Say it and I'll make sure the coffee in next month's food requisition is 'forgotten'." Daniel quickly closed his mouth. Just then Carter and Teal'c arrived.
"We heard a bang." Carter said.
"O'Neill, you are injured."
"Nope, just my pride. The door is locked, maybe barricaded from the inside. We can't get in."
Carter moved closer and examined the door with her flashlight. "Sir, these are stress fractures. Whatever tried to get in must've been strong."
O'Neill decided to take credit for that and smirked at Daniel. "So how do we get in, a directional charge?"
Carter scanned the door a few seconds longer. "Teal'c, push here." She said and pointed to a section at waist level. Teal'c complied and a few seconds later the door buckled and then gave way.
"Looks like security is gonna need a new door." O'Neill quipped.
"OK, so this door was locked from the inside, right?" Daniel asked.
"Yep."
"So, where's the guy who locked it?"
SG-1 scanned the room. It was in disarray like most of the others. It looked like someone had made a stand here as well, albeit a very short one. A desk was overturned and there were three P-90 magazines behind it. Carter quickly scooped them up. Other then SG-1, there was no one in the room.
"So, where'd he go? He didn't just disappear, right?" The rest of SG-1 just looked toward their commanding officer. They were starting to wonder if maybe he had disappeared. It sure would explain things.
SG-1 stood in security station alpha and quickly went over what they knew. They exchanged information. Carter explained just how mangled the main power circuitry was (Siler'd be at it for days) and O'Neill told Carter and Teal'c about the weapons cache in the infirmary. They were about to decide what to do next when a noise from behind them caused them to fall silent. They listened for a second and discovered the source of the sound. At the back of the room there was a cabinet that was used to store weaponry. It had been tilted over so it now stood on an angle with only one bottom corner on the floor and one top corner against the wall. SG-1 moved the cabinet and found a door behind it that led to a closet. Colonel O'Neill gave some hand signals and everyone prepared for the opening of the door. The colonel knelt down, and then flung open the door and shone his flashlight inside only to see that he was looking down the barrel of a gun.
