A/N: Sorry for taking so long guys, but I've kinda busy updating my more popular fanfics again. But hey, at least I finally updated, right?
Anywho, I'm off to try and write more of my Stargate Atlantis and Full Metal Alchemist fics. (I haven't updated my FMA one in like months! 00')
For the next two weeks Anne spent most of her time under surveillance and being put through rigorous experiments. What little free time she was allowed was spent mostly sleeping or with SG-1.
With Cameron, Anne would play video games or watch movies/TV. Sam was teaching her all about the stargate and wormholes. (Which she didn't get.) Teal'c sought fit to teach her how to fight, should she need to. And Daniel, who almost never left her side, liked no more then to tell Anne of all his travels and encounters with alien cultures.
"So Doctor, what did you want to talk with me about?" Landry asked, walking into the hospital ward.
"As you already know, we believe that Aries used a combination of gene splicing and the usage of a DNA resequencer to create Anne." Carter stated.
Gen. Landry nodded. "So you told me anyways."
"And by doing so he was able to sucessfully create a super-solder. But, if that's so, then why doesn't Anne show any signs?" Sam questioned.
"I thought you said that Aries hid her powers so that his enemies couldn't find her." Landry stated.
Dr. Lam nodded. "Which is why we've been testing her these last two weeks. In order to find out how to activate her powers, we first had to find how they were being supressed."
"So then I'm to take it you've found out how he did it?"
"After further analysis, Lt. Carter and I believe we have located a type of switch in Anne's neck." Dr. Lam explained.
"A switch?"
"Yes, in a manner of speaking." Carter replied. "You see, what we found was not so much as a switch in the literal sense, but rather a microscopic computer chip. We believe that turning off the chip is the key to finally activating Anne's inert powers."
Gen. Landry cocked an eyebrow hearing this. "And how exactly do we turn the chip off?"
"That's just the thing. If I'm right then the only way to deactivate the chip is with a Goa'uld hand device." answered Sam.
Later…
"Explain to me again, why I'm tied to chair?" Anne asked nervously. "And what the hell is that freaky gold glove gunna do to me?"
"Well you see, by wearing this hand device I will hopefully be able to deactivate the microchip in your neck." Sam explained.
"Hopefully? What do you mean by that? Am I gunna be okay or not?"
Sam smiled. "Don't worry, I won't have to use that much power to turn it off. So at the very most you might get a warm, stinging feeling in your neck for a second or two."
"Oh joy." Anne scoffed.
(In the Observation Room…)
"Are you sure the restraints are necessary?" Daniel asked Landry. "I mean she's been here for over two weeks, if she was going to do something she'd have done it by now."
Gen. Landry nodded. "I know you don't like the idea of tying Anne down, and quit frankly, neither do I. But we have no idea what's gunna happen once that chip is deactivated, so we can't afford to take any unnecessary risks."
"I wouldn't worry much, Jackson. Dr. Lam and Carter are two of the most qualified people I know. So I'm sure they'll take care of your little girlfriend for you." Mitchell smirked.
Daniel scowled. "What do mean 'my girlfriend'? I can assure you, there is nothing going on between Anne and I."
"Oh come on! It's not like it's a secret! Heck, the whole base knows you've got the hots for the girl, so it's no use denying it."
"I believe Colonel Mitchell to be right, Daniel Jackson. Ever since Anne arrived on the base you've been displaying several odd behaviors. One of which is an increase of bathroom privileges."
Daniel blushed furiously. "I told you guys, it's not what you think. I just happen to be getting over a minor stomach virus is all."
"Then why do you blush every time you talk to her?" Cameron teased.
"I think that's enough Colonel Mitchell. It would appear that the ladies are ready to begin the experiment." Gen. Landry announced.
"We're ready whenever you are, Sir." Sam stated.
Landry nodded in understanding. "You may begin then."
Concentrating hard, Sam activated the hand device and placed her hand over the back of Anne's neck. As she did so, Anne clenched her teeth together in pain.
"The signal is getting weaker." Lam stated, reading the results on the monitor.
"Just another minute…" Carter explained.
At that exact moment Anne felt a surge of energy within her.
"Done!" Sam exclaimed, smiling triumphantly.
All of the sudden Anne's eyes began to glow, and she started screaming in pain.
"What's wrong with her?" Daniel was the first to ask.
"It would appear that by deactivating the chip, all the information that was previously inaccessible is now exploding into her consciousness. In essence, she's like an overloaded computer." Sam explained.
Meanwhile, Dr. Lam had injected Anne with a sedative to put her to sleep.
"Will she be okay?" Gen. Landry inquired as Daniel ran out of the room.
"Yes, I believe so." Dr. Lam replied. "But she's gunna need to rest for a while, just in case. In the mean time, I'll be keeping a close watch on her vital signs."
Just then Daniel came running into the operation room/lab, rushing over towards Anne.
"But you said she's gunna be okay, right?" he asked, gently caressing Anne's cheek. "I mean, there aren't going to be any more harmful side-effects, are there?"
"It doesn't look like it. But we still won't know everything until she gets up." Lam answered.
"Relax Daniel, Dr. Lam and I are doing the best we can for Anne right now. In the off chance that anything should go wrong, you'll be the first to know." Sam smiled.
Daniel nodded. "Okay. But if it's alright with you, Dr. Lam, would I be able to stay here with her? That way you could get more work done while I look after her."
Dr. Lam gave him an uneasy look, then looked up into the observation room. "It's up to General Landry, but since her signs are stable, I don't see the harm in it."
"So long as you're ready to leave with the rest of SG-1 by 0900 tomorrow, then I don't see the harm in it." the General smiled.
"Are you sure they'll still need me, Sir?" Daniel asked.
Gen. Landry looked over at Mitchell with a questioning look.
"It is just a simple delivery Sir." Cameron stated. "I think we handle the drop off without him this once."
"Very well then, it would seem that you're not needed after all, Dr. Jackson."
Daniel smiled. "Thank you Sir."
Two and a half days later…
'Ugh, not again!' Anne though as she woke up, staring up at the familiar whit-tile ceiling. 'This is starting to become a habit.'
Just then she felt something rub up against her stomach.
'What the fuck is THAT?' she wondered, nearly petrified with fear.
A/N: It was kinda short and all, compared to some of my other fic chapters, but I hope you all enjoyed it none the less. And I plan on hopefully posting another chapter within the next week or two, so look for it.
And per usual, please R/R. It doesn't have to all be praise, though praise is more then welcomed. I also enjoy getting CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, suggestions, and questionsas well. (No "flames" please.)
