Review Response:

LJQ … Thanks I was hoping someone would understand why Jonas was more cold and take charge in this story and not just rip me for not portraying him as he has been in the past. This chapter however will give you a more Jonas like character I think

Quick-demon… Well yup I guess it is but if you follow section 13 of secrets and then look at this story you will figure it out. Please keep me informed of what you think. I am hoping that this story isn't totally usless but actualy a healp to the other.

Pagan Twylight … pleas please do follow through I would love to get your input on this story esp as it relates to my other one if you could. As usualy any pointers will be taken seriously though it seems lately one thing after another is keeping me from finding the perfect beta.

And now …..Poofda!

The Mighty Quinn

Chapter 1: Director Quinn Round Two

Planet: Langara

Nation: Kelowna

Earth Date: June 3nd 2003

Langaran Time: 0330hrs

Jonas watched as the chevrons locked in to place after the inner ring spun to the proper symbol. He watched the giant blue white mass explode out from the gate as warning to all that there was danger ahead. He picked up the freshly charged radio he kept with him for just these occasions.

"Stargate Command this is Jonas Quinn I am sending code for verification now." Jonas picked up the other device he kept with him at all times and pressed several buttons in sequence on the numerical keypad.

"Jonas its good to hear from you, how may we be of assistance." Came the voice of General George Hammond.

"Sir is it possible for you to come here? I have some good news, but its also news that I need some help with. I am speaking for myself not my country or planet. It's more of a social call if you will. I would come there but my Leaders think I am too valuable to be let off planet." Jonas hoped someone could come.

"First I would need to know what the situation is. I can't authorize a visit without good reason." The General said.

"General Hammond they've made me the Director of our Stargate program. Frankly sir I'm over my head and just need to talk to someone and get some advice." Jonas reply carried his meaning both in words and inflection.

"We will Dial you in ten minuets time. Stand by." Came the reply

Jonas watched as the gate cut out.

True to his word ten moments later the gate began to dial in. the Guards that Jonas had posted flanked the gate with weapons at the ready. He waited and nothing happened. Then suddenly the radio came to life

"Jonas this is General Hammond I am coming through with SG-1, acknowledge?" A large smile lit up Jonas face and his look became more relaxed.

"That is affirmative we stand ready to receive you General and SG-1" Jonas replied.

The Blue puddle of energy fluctuated and rippled until matter began to come through. In this case the matter was the green camouflaged cap on top of General Hammonds baldpate. He was quickly followed by Colonel O'Niell, Major Carter, Daniel Jackson and Teal'c.

Jonas signaled for his makeshift Guards to lower their weapons and stand down. By the time the gate deactivated he was standing in front of General Hammond Shaking his had profusely.

"Welcome to Planet Langara Nation of Kelowna" Jonas said formally. "Welcome"

"Thank you Mr. Uh Director Quinn" George Said emphasizing Director with a smile. " Now perhaps you will have a better understanding of what I do every day"

"What would that be sir? Solitaire?" Jack threw in off hand like. Hammond Glared at him. "Chess … uhm ..Chess right?" he tried and failed to make a save.

"Someday Colonel I hope you get to find out."

"Sir that was a low blow." Jack feigned hurt.

"Congratulations Jonas Quinn" Teal'c said smiling broadly like a proud father.

"Yeah Congratulations Jonas." Sam added smiling

"Thank you all. I admit I feel really out of my element here. The only thing I can figure is that because I would not give them the information they want from me that they are hoping I will get myself in a situation and I will have to divulge it on my own." He explained.

"Well why don't we sit down and you can tell us all about it?" The General offered.

"I agree, please if you will, right this way." Jonas led them to the briefing room and motioned them to take a seat.

"Well this is certainly a new experience" General Hammond said noting his place farther down the side of the table.

"For me as well sir I assure you." Jonas said solemnly. "Let me bring you up to speed." He began and proceeded to fill them in on the events of the past six months.

"Sounds like you are now in a position to make a real difference Jonas I'm happy for ya" Jack said when he was finished.

"When I was newly made First Prime to Apophis I too had doubts about my competency to do the job I was assigned. As much as I dislike now the job I had to do I did eventually become confident in my abilities. I believe Jonas Quinn you will as well. As they say you must .. Give it time.." Teal'c offered sagely

"I appreciate you confidence in me Teal'c I just wish I felt the same." Jonas said honestly to his friend.

"I have to agree with Colonel O'Niell on this one Jonas. I think you are in a very good position to make some changes for the betterment of your world." Sam gave him an encouraging look.

"I get the feeling you all think things are just peachy to use one of the Colonels phrases but I don't feel that way. I know I'm being used but at the same time I cant pass up this opportunity. I really do not want to mess this up." Jonas quirked his head to the side slightly.

"How far have they tied your hands?" General Hammond asked seriously.

"So far all the pushing I've done has been met with no resistance. I ordered all military personnel out of the base and when I came through the gate room not even a guard for the gate was left. I had to get a couple of poor scientist to stand guard with weapons they didn't know how to use." His look was grave.

"You did what?" Jack asked concerned.

"It was the only way I could be sure that there wasn't someone spying on me and reporting my every move. Also I didn't need a second in command with an alternate agenda." He justified.

"I can see where that was eventually needed but was it wise to do it so soon?" Daniel spoke up for the first time. Jonas knew that they were never that close he really didn't expect Daniel to join in too much.

"You may be correct Daniel" he let it hang

"Well for now you need to get your base secure" Hammond offered sincerely. "I will make a gesture of good will from my planet to yours." He gave a friendly yet totally diplomatic expression to Jonas. "I will see that an Iris is created for assembly with the same alloys our is so you can install it on your gate. You will understand when I can't give you our security system as well?"

"Completely General. I thank you for your generosity. I will also make a gesture of good will from my people to yours I will see to it that a quantity of Naquada makes it from my world to yours, though I cant promise how much." Jonas smiled honestly.

"Well it seems that once you get your military personnel picked you will have that aspect well in hand I would however suggest you make sure your scientist can fight too" O'Niell supplied helpfully.

"Thank you Jonas that would be much appreciated" the General continued. "Someday I hope our people can be open allies."

"As do I sir."

"Have you considered a second base of operations Jonas Quinn?" Teal'c asked

"Well Teal'c I haven't gotten that far but I see where that may be a good Idea Thank you." He watched as Teal'c nodded respectfully.

"General Hammond can you give me any advice? What changes would you make given these circumstances?" Jonas asked the question that had been burning in him.

"Green and Blue Jell-O. You definitely need to have green and blue Jell-O in the mess hall" Jack jumped in bringing a smile to all but General Hammond who it seemed was immune to Jack's wise cracking humor.

"I would take things one step at a time, I would also get your defensive capabilities up to snuff immediately." George Offered.

"Anything else?"

"Well I could offer you a million things but you need to take things one step at a time Jonas. You know you are welcome to contact me at any time you feel you need to talk. I can't guarantee that I will be able to come personally but I will gladly offer advice." The General responded. "However I think our time here is almost up."

"I would suggest making sure we, meaning Earth and Langara know what each others uniforms look like so we don't shoot each other by accident." Daniel supplied "There has got to come a time when our teams Gate to the same world at some point."

"Excellent point Dr. Jackson I will make sure that is a priority and I will send you a video of our uniforms as soon as we design the new ones." He paused. "I don't want you to be late. If you will just follow me again." Jonas led them once more to the gate room. "Thank you so much for coming when I needed you most. I want you to know I still consider you my best friends and you have an open invitation to visit Langara as long as I am the Director of the LGC. I hope to chat with you further after a few days by radio if that is acceptable?"

"That would be excellent Director Quinn. I would be happy to offer any information I can to help you in your new position." The General answered as the gate was dialed.

"Jonas you will come visits some time right?" Sam said

"When I can I will" Jonas paused. "Might be a while though" he smiled gesturing to their surroundings.

"Again Jonas Quinn I say you have the heart of the warrior. Live and Die well my friend" Teal'c said clasping Jonas' arm in a firm grip.

"I will my friend you do the same." Jonas replied looking the other man in the eye with respect.

"Don't let the bastards get you down Jonas. If they do then you know who to call ok?" Jack said seriously.

" Thanks Jack, keep and eye on Daniel for me. We were never very close but us geeks got to stick together yaknow." He smiled at Daniel and Jack. The Kawoosh had settled in to a blue pool of shimmering water and light.

"Thank you all my friends I hope to see you again soon. I promise if ever I find a serious advantage over out mutual enemies I will share it with you immediately even if it const me my home once more."

"Lets hope it never comes to the Mr. Quinn. Good Luck in your new position" with that the General and SG-1 walked in to the event horizon of the wormhole.

Jonas watched in silence as the gate disengaged and was silent. He checked with his two psudo guards and headed off to get what little sleep he could.
