Disclaimer: I own nothing of Stargate SG-1 or Artemis Fowl sob but, Corporal Kayed and Major Thompson are mine, so don't go troubling youself trying to remember where they came from, because they came from my odd imagination!
Yes! I have finally finished chapter three! Sorry it took so long, I think I lost my plot bunny somewhere after the second chapter. I want to thank my best friend, firecat925, for reviewing the first bit of it, and to thank everyone who reviewed.
"Ok, what the hell is going on?" Jack practically shouted at the sneering face on the projector screen. He thought a moment. "And what do faeries have to do with anything?"
Daniel just gave a 'You know this is crazy' look at the man on the screen, who was apparently named 'Foaly'. What kind of name is 'Foaly' anyway? Sounds like a horse.
Sam showed complete mouth-opened-wide surprise. Nothing could have prepared her for what was going on right now. But the fact that the person had just said faeries existed had nothing to do with it. How could anyone hack into this base's system? was the only thing she could think. However, Teal'c showed no signs of surprise, fear, or any emotion at all.
"Faeries, General O'Neill, have to do with everything," Foaly replied, looking smug. "And, to answer your first question, I'm taking, or rather have taken, control of the SGC."
Well, doesn't he get straight to the point, Sam thought as she watched silently. How the bloody hell did he get into our system anyway? repeated in her head. The SGC had one of the highest security systems in the country, probably the world. However the man had managed to get in, and it probably hadn't been easy doing it.
"Ok, so you have control," Jack mumbled, basically just to make sure this was really happening. "How did you get in our system?" He turned to Sam. "Carter, how is this possible?"
"I… I don't know sir," Sam stammered. She looked up at the man, Foaly, "How did you get in?" That was all she cared about; that, and what he would do next.
The whole room stared at Foaly who had, amazingly, been able to stay silent. "Well it was tough, but I do have to say I'm not impressed; I've seen residential manors with higher security systems than yours." Foaly responded. Ok, only one, Fowl Manor, but that doesn't concern you.
O'Neill made a barely noticeable gesture behind his back to Davis who nodded in response. Just as Davis turned to go down the stairs, Foaly spoke again. "General, activating the base's self-destruct won't do you any good. I thought something might happen, so it was one of the first things I took control of."
At this remark everyone stopped all movement and sound. This madman, for lack of a better word, could blow the whole mountain sky-high at the push of a button. Then someone spoke, "What is it you wish to do with this base?" Everyone looked at Teal'c, who had not spoken until now.
Foaly, surprised, turned to the jaffa. "All I'm ordered to do is keep you in the base until a crew can arrive to mop up a slight leak in our security"
"Orders?" Jack said. "And who's orders would that be? Who are you, and who do you work for?"
"Sorry, can't say anything more," Foaly reached to turn off the camera. "Oh, by the way, I sealed off the escape shaft too, so don't bother trying to get out that way." With that last remark, he was gone, and the base was shut out from the outside world.
LEP HQ
Foaly reached to turn off the camera, then thought of something else that might rattle their little brains. "Oh, by the way, I sealed off the escape shaft too, so don't bother trying to get out that way." He then shut off the camera.
"Nice work," a sarcastic voice behind him said. "Why don't you just put up a neon sign saying 'The People exist!' right in front of their faces!" Root yelled at the stunned Centaur. "You might as well have told them everything about us! 'Faeries have to do with everything.'"
Root mimicked, a smothered gag sounding from Holly's lips as she tried to keep a straight face. This is not the time to be laughing! Keep a straight face. Gods, I hope Root didn't hear that! Apparently he hadn't, or was too worked up about Foaly to care what Holly did.
"Just keeping them on their toes," was all Foaly could manage without bursting from laughter; partly at the shade of the Commander's face, but mostly because Holly was having a very hard time trying not to show her amusement.
If Foaly had been any other person working at that building, he would have been out of a job, but LEP needed him, especially now, and Root knew it. So instead of having the joy of yelling at Foaly, he walked out of the room, but not without trying to put a hole in the wall first.
Holly couldn't keep it in, and as soon as the door shut she was quaking with laughter. "Did you see their faces when they saw you? And then Root's face after, and then…" the rest was lost in a fit of giggles.
Foaly smirked, but decided he would be the dignified one this time. Grabbing a couple carrots he waited for Holly to calm down.
About ten minutes later Holly managed to regain her composure. She glanced up at Foaly who was giving her a strange look. "What?" she asked, curious about why he was looking at her that way.
Foaly snorted, "I don't think I've ever seen you lose it like that," was the only thing he could think of saying without sounding like some idiotic pony with an IQ of two.
Holly straightened up, and decided she better get going. "Ok Foaly, sorry to ruin the party," Foaly laughed, "but I have to get going on getting a team to go up to the surface. And if I don't get moving soon, Root is going to kick my ass." With that she turned and left, closing the door to Foaly's lab behind her.
SGC
Storeroom closet, sublevel 27
"So tell me again why we're meeting in the closet," Jack said as he looked around the room, from where he sat all he could see was toilet paper.
Sam looked at him, "Sir, because it's one of the few places in the base without security monitors of any sort. The closest one is a camera just out side the door on the other side of the room." Jack gave an acknowledging look and she continued. "Right now we need to figure out a way to either get out of this base and warn someone, or find someway to get control back. Any suggestions?" She looked around at the group in front of her. It currently consisted of Sergeant Davis, General O'Neill, Daniel, Teal'c, Major Thompson, and a few other select base personnel.
Everyone was quiet as they tried to think of something. Then Thompson spoke up, "Is there anyway through the ventilation?"
Carter sighed, "Good suggestion, but no. It was designed to also be an emergency exit if needed, but only as a last resort. And seeing as this Foaly character has control of everything, he probably sealed all the vents, and it would take hours just to get one vent open."
The whole group was starting to look very bleak when the loudspeaker came on for the third time that day. "General O'Neill and SG-1 to the briefing room; General O'Neill and SG-1 to the briefing room."
"For the love of God," Jack swore, "what the heck do they want now?" He stood up, and the rest of the group followed his example. "Carter, Daniel, Teal'c, come with me. I want the rest of you to stay here and try to think of something" He and the rest of SG-1 headed toward the door, cautiously opened it and checked for anyone outside. See it was clear the hurried out and up to the briefing room.
Jack practically ran up the stairs, and stopped dead in his tracks. The rest soon followed, as they entered the room they all reacted the same way. The cause for their shock was the two figures standing next the table in front of them. One was a woman about three feet tall, with darker skin, auburn hair, hazel eyes, and pointed ears. The other was a boy. He appeared to be about 17 years old, but dressed much to sophisticated for any normal seventeen year old. He was about five and a half feet tall, had black hair, blue eyes, and skin as pale as a white sheet, as if he had never seen the light of day.
The boy smirked, much in the same manor that Foaly had, and spoke to the surprised base members in an English accent. "Sorry for the inconvenience, but I believe we have some things to discus," with that he gestured toward the table and sat down at the head of the table, right where Jack was supposed to sit. It was obvious that he thought he was in charge.
The woman stood there, it was at this time everyone noticed she had a rather ruthless looking weapon in her small hand. She grinned as they looked at her in shock. "Don't think I won't use it if I have to. Whether you mudmen will believe it or not, I'm a trained soldier, not some frail little pixie girl."
How did Holly get in the base without getting sick? Why is the strange boy there?And if anyone caught it in the second chapter, why did Foaly refere to the Ancients as 'The Ancestors'?
