Lost In Time

"Trapped in 2002, several pilots struggle to find their way home. Things get even more difficult when both the USAF and the media get involved. Crossover with Stargate SG-1."

No one could have imagined one small thing like that could cause so much trouble. However, the flux capacitor just did what it was designed to do in the first place, just not when it was supposed to do it – and now, Heero Yuy has to pay the price and the people of the SGC will have to clean up the mess… more or less.

Prologue

April 2, AC195

The sky was black, and filled with stars. Normally, it would have been a beautiful sight, but right now, five people in an abandoned resource satellite had other things to take care of.

"Are you almost done yet?" a man yelled to another. "We haven't got much time left!"

"Yes, yes, one moment," the other man replied, "G, are you sure you installed the flux capacitor the right way up? Its shape seems so…"

"Oh, do shut up, H," G replied casually. His doctor's coat was clearly visible, now that he was standing near the only artificial source of light in the small room. "I hope you realize we're doing something very important here."

"Gentlemen!" yet another voice said. "Stop arguing. It's almost ready and…"

"Even better yet, J," a tall, bald man said. "It is ready."

For a moment, there was an awful silence.

"Are we absolutely sure we want to do this? Once we launch it, there's no way back."

"We are well aware of the risks, S. How many times have we discussed this yet? Twenty? Thirty?"

"Yes, I know that," S bit back, "But I still have my doubts. It'll change the course of history and we don't know what the consequences will be! For all we know…"

"It's true that we are taking a considerable risk here," J interrupted, "But the current course history is taking is the wrong way, and we all know that. If we want to change it, we've got to go back to where it all started. We have to prevent Heero Yuy's death. That way, the colonies will stay united, this awful war will never take place, and we won't have to launch Operation Meteor."

When J heard no comments, he continued and switched the device on. "Gentlemen, in less than twenty seconds, we will be taken twenty years back in time, to April 2nd, AC175. There, we will prevent Heero Yuy's assassination and by doing so, change the course of history. G, commence countdown."

"Ten seconds… nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one…"

All five scientists closed their eyes, held their breath –

"Did it work?"

"I didn't feel anything."

"Me neither."

"Were we supposed to?"

S looked at the fuel level of the device. "The flux level hasn't dropped. We're still in AC195."

"Damnit! Why won't it work?"

"Let's try again…"

But again, nothing happened. On the 3rd of April, the doctors tried again. Nothing happened. After the 3rd of April, they tried every day. Nothing ever happened.

Then came April 6th. The doctors realized that they had failed, and launched an alternate version of Operation Meteor. No one ever saw the flux device again… or at least, that's what four of the five scientists thought.
