Chapter 8: turn of events
Jack and Sam had learned from their years of military experience that there's always something that can go wrong. Even the most harmless mission could turn out to be deadly. So none of them expected that the relaxed life that they had been experiencing for the past months to last much longer. It may be true that after the storm comes the calm be the other way around can also be true.
Daniel and Teal'c found out about the romance between Sam and Jack four months ago and since then the four of them had gone out about fifteen times. They were happy to see Sam and Jack so happy and getting along so well. They were also glad to see that the fact that jack and Sam had a relationship didn't affect the friendship that the four friends had been building for the past eight years. Daniel had been a bit apprehensive that Jack and Sam would set him and Teal'c aside, not by choice. He knew that they wouldn't put him aside consciously but if in the relationship three is a crowd then four…well they hadn't put neither Teal'c nor him aside so there was no need to be thinking about it.
SGC
Everything was normal in the SGC (well, nothing on the SGC was exactly normal but you know what I mean) when suddenly the "alarms" went of.
- Do we have an IDC? – General Charleston had just arrived at the control room. There was no SG team due back for at least another day and none of Earths allies had shown any signs of life for months So the General knew that this could either be an attack, bad news or someone injured. None of the options were a good one.
- Yes, sir. It's SG-1. We have radio only.
- Sir. We are under heavy fire. If you don't open the iris we'll dye. We can't dial anywhere else because the DHD was destroyed and were surrounded by enemy forces. Lieutenant Thomason is injured.
- Copy that colonel. – Ben knew the risk and he also knew that he had to take them. – send a security team to the gate room. Oh, and also a medical team. – After the gate room was secured the general took a deep breath. – open the iris. – and then speaking to the radio. – Come on home.
Seconds later the gate room was under fire and SG-1 stepped throw the gate.
- Close the iris.
The general rushed to the gate room.
- What happened?
- We were at the temple when a jaffa patrol spotted us. Before we could do anything we were surrounded. Lieutenant Thomason got hit on the leg and we barely made it throw.
- We did manage to take this back. – Daniel was carrying a weird device.
The general stayed looking at the device for a good five minutes before he realized what he was doing.
Sam could have sworn that he knew what the device was.
- Well we'll talk about that in the debriefing. Go to the infirmary for a check up. See you at 14:00.
After they had all been throw the usual exams they went to meet the general (except for Thomason, he had to stay in the infirmary for a while longer).
- Sir may we come in?
- Yes colonel.
Before anyone could do or say anything the "alarms" of the base went off.
- What now?
- Any team…
- No. No one is due back.
- Sir it's SG-3 IDC.
- Open the iris.
Ten of Anubis drones came shooting throw the gate.
- What the hell? Sound the alarm.
- All security teams to the gate room.
- We should go get you out of here sir.
- No argument from me. Let's go to level 16.
- Sir I wish to remain and fight the drones.
- Ok. Colonel you come with me. You two can stay.
- Ok sir.
------------
A/N: What will happen to the SGC? How did the drones get the iris code? Is SG-3 ok?
These questions and many more will be answered on the new chapter of consequences.
