The idea for this chapter is from Kitty-kat-101. Thank you so much for such a great idea.
And now…A Day in the Life of Earth's Stargate Chapter 4
Guess what! Guess what! When Sg-1 came back through my wormhole yesterday I think I think I heard something. I think that if I practice enough I'll be able to communicate with other gates when we connect. I'll have plenty of time to practice. I'm always connecting to other gates. We can share stories and complain about the boredom of being an inanimate object to each other. Not being able to move makes life much less fun. I mean, take Earth for example. There are deserts and icelands and rainforests and oceans and the last time I saw them I was on my way over from the dig in Giza a long time ago. All that pretty stuff and I'm stuck in this ugly gray room. I've seen the ocean since then. I didn't really like it, of course it might have been the circumstances under which I saw it. It was the time that Sg-1 was beamed up to Thor's ship. The Balisknor, I think it was. They beamed me up so that they could gate to a planet and then get back to Earth through the Stargate found in Antarctica. I went down with the ship and landed in one of Earth's oceans. I can't remember which one. I was so waterlogged from that meeting with the ocean that I don't remember getting back here to the SGC. Too bad. It would have been nice to see Cheyenne Mountain Complex from the outside.
ERRGG!
Someone should really get some WD-40 for that door. Every time that damn thing opens it makes that sound. It's okay this time because Sg-1 is getting ready to leave for a mission. They all look so good in their BDU's. They look good in everything. Except dress blues. Sam and Jack always look so uptight in those. Like they have to act perfect. They stand perfectly straight and Jack doesn't make any sarcastic comments. Thank God they only have to wear them at promotion ceremonies and funerals. There aren't too many of either in here, but they have them every once in a while.
I'm dialing for them now. I'm glad I don't get motion sickness. That would be a definite disadvantage in this job. Though what other use is there for an Ancient transportation device nowadays.
KAWOOSH! My wormhole is open now.
"Hello." I say into my wormhole, hoping to get in contact with the gate on the planet I am connected to.
"Hi?" It questions back.
"Are you a Gate?" I ask. I have to know for sure.
"Duh." It answers sarcastically. If the planet is anything like the gate then I think Jack is going to have a great time.
"So am I." I say.
"Where are you?" It asks.
"Earth." I answer. I love making new friends. This conversation is going really fast. Sg-1 is about to step through.
"What is an Earth?" It asks.
"It's the planet I'm on. The planet of the Tau'ri." I say, clarifying my answer. I've never had to explain something before. This is fun.
"Oh." The other gate says. "Bye."
"What?" I manage to slip in before the wormhole disengages. Oh man! They shut it off. At least I'll be able to talk to that gate when Sg-1 gets back in a day or so.
I'm leaving it there for now. I'm trying to work on as much as possible. My desktop has something that needs to be cleaned and my laptop died two days ago. I hope to find a computer to write on while mine are out of commission.
