I'd love to finally seeing evil Replicator Sam myself. But somehow New Order isn't out before June here where I live. But at least we have Atlantis, now.

Beccy, ya tienen Atlantis y Season 8 en España? I know that you've had the latest Charmed season pretty early as well...

Chapter 4 - First One

As Sam returned from the bathroom somebody gave her a folder containing the details of her first mission for these people.

Reading through it she could hardly hold back a cynical chuckle.

On this mission she was to break into one of the five storage facilities where the prototype versions of the modified naquadah generators were stored finding the devices returning them to their 'owners'.

What did they picture her to be? A rogue little expert burglar cat? Hell, she was still an astrophysicist, though giving in that she was really fond of breaking into things, this was not her job.

But obviously these NID rogues could get everybody to do everything for them; even the most intelligent mind in the whole of North America to break into warehouses for them, getting back lost naquadah generators.

The best was still to come: She would get an own backup team with a whole lot of people only working to get possible unwanted guests or followers off her back guaranteeing a smooth progress of things.

'Great', Sam thought, 'a whole bunch of idiots to shoo around and I'm gonna be the queen of the whole damn party. And best: They'll seriously think I'm loyal.'

Her lips parted into a devious grin. Slowly she begin to feel really good in her new role as a bad guy. She finished reading the documents: Mission start was at 02.30 this night. This was going to be a lot of fun, more than she had expected it.

Now the two agents that had just sat on her nerves came toward her.

"Doctor Carter", one of them said almost venerably, "the last members of your team have just arrived. It's time to meet them, now."

Sam rolled her eyes "You can stop playing the truckler. I won't be nice to you in any way."

They both stared at her perplexedly.

"What are you staring at? Move it", she commanded shooing them ahead in front of her, "or do you wanna grow roots?"

The two guys did as they were told stumbling along showing her the way as fast as they could.

The next morning, Denver police headquarters, CID

Detective Pete Shanahan let out a long yawn somehow he was lacking of coffee this morning and he could not get himself to the pantry to make some at the moment, he was just too tired.

He put his arm on the table and rested his head upon it. Suddenly someone nudged his side, it was his colleague Sean.

"Morning, Shanny", he greeted him, "How are ya doin'?"

"Morning, Sean, what's up?" Pete yawned again.

"I've got something for ya", Sean waved a folder in front of his eyes.

"What's that? A new case?" he inquired, "Something exciting, I hope."

"Nah, the usual stuff", Sean smirked, "A break-in in the southeast. Security personnel reported it by round about five this morning. There were no big traces to be found only a knocked out guard no one had really been missing.'

Pete rolled his eyes. Why did he always get the boring cases? He still loved his job as hell, but this just was not fair.

His colleague grinned at him, "Have fun with it, buddy."

"Thanks a lot", Pete got up finally making his way to the coffee machine, it was about time for a good dose of caffeine.

So, this was only a bit of fun. Next chapter's gonna be a little more fun. See you after the RE and English exams, sigh.
