Author's Notes: I'm really sorry for the tremendously long wait. Though these chapters don't really tie together at all. For anyone who's still reading, Thanks I guess. If you like review and I'll write more when I'm not working on my other stories. If you've seen my profile and read my stories you can see that I have a lot of unfinished projects.
Here we go again! Dizzy, dizzy, dizzy. Wait for it.
"Unauthorized off world activation." I hear from the Control Room over the PA system. Well lets see what's going on in there. I look into the Control Room as I feel the last chevron lock and the defense teams come and stand here in the Gate Room with me. Hammond just entered the Control Room. I, of course can't hear what they are saying from here. Which is why I learned to read lips a very long time ago. It only took me a few days under this mountain to realize that all the interesting stuff that happens, happens up there. Though technically I am the one with the open wormhole. I feel so ignored. Okay, so back to what's going on in the Control Room. Sg-1 is there now too. Even Jack is back. And it looks like he can see again. He looks great. Of course it has been about a week since they came back and, I might be wrong, but I think Jacob came in and helped. That would explain his fast recovery. Though no matter how hard people try they can't seem to keep Jack down for long.
Hey, the Control Room! Let's see. Technician Davis, or Walter is trying desperately to get the Iris to close. Sam is at another terminal trying to help as well. I think Sam is saying something. Hmm. Looks like, 'We've lost control of the system, sir.' Again? Oh. Now Jack's speaking, 'again?' Good man. Saying for me what I can't say for myself. Lots of drama today. I wish I had some popcorn. I wonder what popcorn tastes like. I guess I'll just have to go without. I'll just watch them to find out what's wrong. Though nothing feels wrong. Actually I feel great. I wonder what's wrong.
'What's happening?' Daniel asks and I read.
'I don't know.' Sam says. It looks like she's still typing at the computer. 'The Iris won't close. I've run a bunch of system checks and diagnostics. There's nothing wrong. I have no idea what's happening.'
TEU! I think the wormhole just shut down.
'What just happened?' Hammond asks.
'I think the wormhole just shut down.' Sam says. Déjà vu. I just thought that.
'Did anything come through the wormhole.' Daniel asks. I didn't feel anything come through. I usually do when stuff comes through.
'There was a radio transmission right before the wormhole disengaged.' Sam answers. I didn't hear anything.
'Why couldn't we hear it come through?' Jack asks and I read. Good question.
'I don't know, but the computer picked it up.' Sam says. 'I'm trying to change the frequency so that we can hear it.' I have no idea what that means, but if Sam does, more power to her. I wonder if the other science geeks understand her. I know for a fact that Jack doesn't have a clue what she's talking about. I might not be able to hear them, but I can see his eyes glaze when she starts talking in what he calls technobabble. 'I think I've got it.' Sam says. 'I'm putting it through the speakers in this room.' She types some more and the people in the room start listening to something. Of course, I'm stuck inside this stupid gray room known as The Gate Room. The room nicknamed after me and I can't hear ANYTHING! I wonder what it sounds like and what it means.
'So?' Jack questions. Always the man to get right to the point. 'What is it?'
Daniel looks like he's translating something. 'I think it's 'We need help' either that or 'See our kelp.' The first makes more sense obviously. I think this might be a culture that's actually calling us. We should check it out.' He's very curious. I love it when he translates things twice; the second translation is always weird and makes no sense.
"Radiation team to the Gate Room." Finally something I can hear. The radiation team came in with their big fancy equipment to pick up any radiation from the back of the Iris, just in case. Hey, there's Siler! And Sam is coming in from the Control Room. The rest of Sg-1 are following her too. Awesome! I'll be able to hear all of them. Hammond is watching carefully from the Control Room.
"Is there anything there Siler?" Sam asks. Siler and the guys are waving their weird radiation sticks around me.
"No. Nothing." Sgt. Siler answers back. Good, in My Room, nothing is definitely a good thing. No radiation! Woohoo! What does that mean? Some culture really wants our help? Sg-1 should check this out.
"Sir," Sam starts talking to Jack. "If Daniel is right and a race is calling us for help then we could possibly get a new ally."
"Okay." He says. "New allies are good."
"Yes, sir. They are." Sam answers smiling.
Sg-1 all just looked up. Oh Hammond is talking. '…briefing room in five minutes.' I think. I missed the beginning. Hammond probably wants to see Sg-1 in the briefing room.
"Yes, sir." Jack says leaving my room with Sam, Daniel and Teal'c following him, most likely to the briefing room.
17 Minutes LaterI'm bored for the moment. Sg's-2, 7 and 12 are due back today. Sg-2 went on a recon mission to a planet that I don't know a name for two or three days ago. Sg's-7 and 12 went on a mission for the Tok'ra because Sg-1 was on downtime when they came. Between Sg's-2, 7 and 12 coming in I'm pretty sure Sg's-3 and 4 are heading out for separate recon missions to two more unnamed, for me, planets.
23 Minutes LaterSg-1 just entered my room. They are all suited up and they've all got their weapons and are straightening their vests and whatnot.
Up in the Control Room Sgt. Davis, would you believe it took me 4 years to learn his name, is starting up the dialing of me.
SWOOSH…CHINK!
"Chevron 1 Engaged!" He says into the microphone, which carries his voice into my Gate Room.
SWOOSH…CHINK!
"Chevron 2 Engaged!"
SWOOSH…CHINK!
"Chevron 3 Engaged!"
SWOOSH…CHINK!
"Chevron 4 Engaged!"
SWOOSH…CHINK!
"Chevron 5 Engaged!"
SWOOSH…CHINK!
"Chevron 6 Engaged!"
SWOOSH…CHINK!
"Chevron 7 Locked!"
I watch carefully as the probe rides up the ramp and through my wormhole. Up in the Control Room Hammond and Sgt. Davis are watching the images.
"Sg-1, you have a go." General Hammond is at the microphone now, projecting his voice into the Gate Room. "The images and data sent back through the probe all check out.
"Well, let's go." Jack says doing a little skip onto the ramp and walking up to me. Sam, Daniel and Teal'c follow their fearless leader and with all four of them, in a horizontal line facing me step through the wormhole to whatever awaits them on the other side.
