The Eltarian Chronicles

by anyabar1987

Finally back to after being deleted. SG1 has to learn to open their eyes to see a bigger picture at play and to learn more about the forces at work in the galaxy. I am not sure how far this will go as my physical notes were lost but if you review and give me a lot of positive feedback I might be able to piece together the rest of the story.

7. Tenaya Returns

"Incoming Traveler No IDC received!" Daniel ran into the control room behind the rest of SG1 and watched as the iris closed.

General Hammond nodded as the iris closed and addressed Sam. "Major is there any risk of attack?"

Sam sat at a console and looked at the computer readouts, "No, Sir there is no visible variation of any magnitude of anything coming through the gate."

Harriman responded, "Sir I am receiving a radio transmission. Colonel, you are going to want to hear this."

Jack crossed his arms and nodded as Hammond turned to also listen.

"This is Captain Scott Truman of Eagle Squadron premier fighter unit of the Corinth City Defense which is the primary military of the CSA representing the GSA. We would like permission to send a sole traveler to your planet in order to discuss some recent findings. Please respond!"

Harriman looked up at the General, "Should I send a reply?"

Hammond looked at Jack, "What do you think Colonel?"

"It certainly sounds like the one that we met who identified himself as Scott Truman and he got all the acronyms correctly."

Sam shook her head, "I recommend that we allow them to proceed. They are far from Goa'uld space and their gate has been supposedly buried since we last visited them. I doubt they have been compromised."

Daniel pointed out, "Unless the GSA is actually our enemy and the GSA is going to use our trust of them against us."

Teal'c raised his eyebrow, "Indeed, however not likely, their weaponry at their disposal would be equally matched by our own firepower."

General nodded his head, "Alright we will let them visit however I want to Gate room ready for an ambush. Open the iris and send a confirmation Major."

Sam spoke into the radio and sent a confirmation as soldiers ran into the gate room and took their positions around the ramp.

A few moments passed and a young woman stood at the edge of the event horizon and Jack swore, "Aw Hell!" Jack leaned forward and ordered into the mic, "Stand down, hold your fire!"

Hammond looked at the Colonel shocked, "Colonel you had better have a good reason to order my men to stand down so soon."

Teal'c stepped forward, "Colonel O'Neill indeed does have a valid reason, "that is Tenaya."

"You mean to tell me that the Corinthiums have sent us a blind girl?" Hammond barked and SG1 left the control room and went to the gate room.

Hammond watched as the girl jumped as the soldiers all stood down as SG1 approached the young woman before him.

Sam reached out her arm and spoke to the girl, "Tenaya, it is alright I am Major Carter."

Tenaya ducked her head slightly, "Major Carter it is good to hear your voice once more."

"We have many questions for you however before we do that we have to take you to be examined by our medical staff." Sam said gently as she took Tenaya's hand and led her down the ramp.

"Colonel O'Neill I know you said we should call and you visit us when we were ready but there isn't any time. I had to relay this information to you. The GSA representatives told us that you must know the information I carry with me." Tenaya said to the Colonel

SG1PR

Janet walked up to Tenaya in the infirmary, "Janet this is Tenaya, she is from Corinthum."

"Yes, I read the report." Janet nodded with a smile, "Hello Tenaya, I am Dr. Fraiser, is it alright if I take a look at you?"

Tenaya ringed her hands together and then nodded nervously. "I promise I won't do anything unnecessary but I just have to have a peak to make sure you're not carrying any harmful bacteria."

"I am blind, not stupid Doctor!" Tenaya exclaimed, "I know this is a necessary procedure."

Sam hid a smiled at Tenaya's comeback, "Janet, you should remember that she has photo sensitivity to bright lights."

Janet nodded and held up her flashlight, "Tenaya I am just going to check your eyes quickly. I was told that you don't remember how you became blind?"

Tenaya grimaced from the pain as the light glanced briefly across her eyes, "That is correct, my memory was wiped however Dr. K believes that there is evidence that my blindness was caused by a sickness when I was an infant."

Janet placed a stethoscope to Tenaya's chest and listened before calling Dana over to finish the exam. Janet pulled the curtain around Tenaya and beckoned for Sam to follow her into her office.

"What is this all about Janet?" Sam asked once the door was closed.

"When I just listened to Tenaya's heart I heard something else besides her heart."

"What kind of sound?" Sam asked

"I heard a rattling noise that had a rhythmic beat to it. Are you sure her world has no history with the Goa'uld?" Janet asked.

"I am sure however I know that this Dr. K who appears to be a child prodigy as well as one of Corinthum's leading surviving scientists was very worried and protective about something concerning Tenaya and her brother. Something they consider the hybrid experiments."

"I am going to need to do further tests on this matter before I can declare her safe. I am also going to want a heavier guard on her until we know she isn't a danger." Janet shook her head as she picked up her phone to call the General.

SG1PR

Dana looked at Tenaya as she prepared to draw a blood sample, "It is a pleasure to meet someone from Corinthum." Dana nodded as she walked over with a tourniquet and started to fasten it around one arm.

Tenaya stopped Dana, "please take the blood from my other arm, my blood flow is very poor on this side."

Dana nodded and preceded to place the band around Tenaya's other arm. "I was surprised to learn that the SGC had made contact with Corinthum."

Tenaya's face became questioning, "what do you mean?"

Dana set down the needle after applying the Tourniquet and placed Tenaya's hand on her bare wrist hoping the motion would mean something to the other girl. It did because Tenaya quickly looked away and nodded her head.

Janet stepped back into the room as Dana inserted the needle into Tenaya's arm but didn't interfere until the blood had been drawn.

Dana left the room and Janet nodded, "Tenaya I need to ask you a few additional questions."

"You heard something else besides my heart didn't you?" Tenaya nodded sadly, "I was hoping that that would be overlooked when I volunteered to come here."

"You know what is going on inside of you then?" Janet asked surprised

"Yes it is kind of hard not to know." Tenaya nodded, "I was once what you call a cyborg. On Corinthum we are called Hybrids and we were created by Venjix."

"Venjix is the name you gave to the virus that nearly wiped out your people?" Janet asked

Tenaya nodded, "It kidnapped thousands of people and injected many of us with a bionic virus that turned us into hybrids. If you want to do a body scan you can check out my story however I can assure you that I am not contagious and even more I can tell you that my body is in a process of transforming itself back into organic matter."

SG1PR

Janet sat at the briefing table while the closed circuit monitors displayed Tenaya in a VIP room waiting. "I performed two body scans on Tenaya in the last twenty-four hours at her request."

General Hammond nodded, "what did the results say?"

"The results confirmed her story sir. She claims to have been at one time over eighty percent mechanical, she is now at some approximately forty percent and it is falling. I marked evidence of decay in just the twenty four hours however it is very microscopic."

Daniel shook his head, "Well that is far more advanced than we are."

Jack shook his head, "You mean that virus turned her into a machine and now she is turning human again?"

"Yes that is what her story demonstrates. She has no idea how far this transformation will go as she showed me her right hand is completely artificial and she is unsure of if her arm will retain functionality if her right arm transforms back but so far her body has been stabilizing the artificial parts and bringing them into sync with the rest of her body. She also revealed to me that during this time that she was a hybrid she could see however the implants allowing this have since degraded." Janet explained as she revealed the test results.

Jack whistled, "Someone should give Star Trek whatever she is on, it would be handy against the Borg!"

General Hammond nodded ignoring the comment from Jack, "Do we trust her?"

"I think it is safe to trust her. Although; I want to request an opportunity to meet with this Dr. K." Janet shook her head, "I don't see her as any risk to the base."

Jack laughed, "You are going to feel very old yet very dumb to Dr. K. Although I doubt she will come here, apparently she is afraid of the outdoors."

"I have been informed that she is a bit on the young side." Janet responded

SG1PR

Tenaya was escorted into the briefing room and Hammond apologized for the delays in their meeting.

"I understand completely, as SG1 knows we don't allow anyone access to our city without a body scan." Tenaya nodded, "My people also understood that this trip might take a while if you felt at all threatened by what I once was. But they also believed that you would accept me as you seem to have done."

"Yes your people are proving interesting and we greatly anticipate the idea of eventually creating an alliance with you." Hammond nodded his head.

"I hope that one day we will be able to create an alliance however I feel that that may still be a bit in the future. I have come to ask for your help however and to educate you in some of the ways and a bit of history of the GSA." Tenaya explained

"Finally someone is willing to talk! All we have had are very cryptic encounters." Jack exclaimed at the thought of hearing something new.

"Well I hope that my news does not disappoint you." Tenaya shrugged, "After your visit to Corinthum I was pulled from my duties in the wastelands and instead with the aid of a screen reader went to the remains of the Venjix core. There I found some startling information which I took to the representatives."

Sam paused, "I am curious about this screen reader?"

Tenaya smiled, "Of course, a screen reader is a device that we use on Corinthum for people with seeing impairments." She reached into her side bag and pulled out a rectangle device with a surface that was layered with little bumps. "I plug in data cards to this port and it converts the text into a system of raised dots which I can then read or I can plug it into any computer terminal and the screen turns into a keyboard if the terminal I need doesn't have a keyboard I can use and from there I can either save the files I access and read them on my screen or I can use a voice reader to read to me the files to me verbally."

Sam gazed at the device, "That is amazing! We have had a lot of progress with computers recently but never have we come up with anything like that."

Jack nodded his head, "We also haven't destroyed ourselves with a computer virus."

Tenaya sat the device down and gulped on air a little bit. "Colonel, I understand but don't think you are intimidating me at all."

Hammond nodded, "Can we get back on topic please?"

"Well I attempted to search through the Venjix databanks but for the longest time I couldn't find anything." Tenaya explained, "About a month ago I found something however with the help of Gemma. I found that Venjix had uncovered the stargate while demolishing Ledge City. I also found that it tried destroying it but failed as you previously speculated. Venjix then attempted to figure it out but couldn't. None of the records I found showed that it ever got the gate working."

Daniel nodded confused, "and the important information is?"

"Records showed that something or someone came through the stargate," Tenaya blurted out, "However from that point forth Venjix had a special troupe guard the gate but classified all information about it from the generals."

"How are you sure that none of these Generals knew about the gate?" Teal'c asked folding his hands in front of himself.

Tenaya pinched her nose, "I know because I was one of his top generals."

Jack bolted up from his seat, "You… Were on Venjix's side?"

"Yes however not by my own will. Venjix scrubbed my memories and made me believe I was a machine. I will not go into some of the ordeals I went through but you should know that everything I have said is the truth and that I have been purged of any of the virus' control by the antivirus that courses through my veins." Tenaya nodded.

"So you have come to us because something came through your gate?" Daniel reasoned, "Are your people worried that there might be another enemy on your planet? Did the records ever show if this person or thing made contact with this Venjix?"

Tenaya shook her head, "No however whatever came through could be on the planet still unless they never made it into the dome. Venjix kept the gate guarded after that and then during the last year the people of Corinth have been only allowed out of the city under guard because of the nomads and then prior to this visit our gate has been sealed."

Hammond leaned forward, "So does your Colonel want our people to come through and see if we can find your intruder?"

Tenaya shook her head, "No, not at the immediate moment. More so we just want information on people who could have potentially come through the gate and any strengths or weaknesses they might have."

"How do you know it wasn't a member of the GSA come to keep an eye on what was going on?" Daniel theorized.

"We know that it wasn't a GSA member because they don't facilitate the use of the Stargates. In fact our representative was under the impression that the stargate on our planet had been removed prior to our colonization of the planet 9000 years ago."

"We have encountered a world that falls in the middle of GSA space that had a gate." Teal'c enquired

"I don't know much on this topic because as I have said before my memory was scrubbed. However I was given a crash course in GSA history prior to coming here." Tenaya explained, "once a long time ago the original members of the GSA were part of a peaceful coalition with many other races that spanned galaxies but then they went away to focus on another galaxy that had not yet been developed. When they returned the Galaxy had been overrun by an evil race which was just revealed to us as the Goa'uld. After attempts at peace with them which failed the GSA went to war with the Goa'uld and won however they were weakened severely and compromised. During this time of weakness a new enemy appeared and took over an entire sector of space. The GSA feared that the Goa'uld and this new evil would mix and make each other stronger so they sealed themselves into a region of space which successfully locked the evil inside as well. Earth was an anchor point because the power was already strong there all this ended about 12,000 years ago."

"The Goa'uld were already on Earth by that time and they didn't leave until much later in the timeline." Teal'c explained to Tenaya.

"Yes, it has been explained to me that Earth was always considered neutral ground as Earth was the anchor point for the universal power grid and the power intensified when the energy barrier line was drawn at Earth. The GSA managed to guard the space just beyond Earth and if the Goa'uld came too far into GSA space they were met with zero tolerance. But because this energy barrier was meant to keep the darkness in they stopped using the stargates which they had been using for many millennia. They stopped using them because it made it too easy for the darkness to gain access to the Goa'uld. Instead members of the GSA who wish to get from one point to another with little to no travel time facilitate a system that translates into teleportation and uses a system of relay stations to direct the traffic between different worlds. Don't ask me to explain that further because I don't understand the concept." Tenaya finished describing.

Hammond nodded as he took in the information she had piled on top of them. "So all your people want is information about different races out there?"

Before Tenaya could answer Jack interrupted, "So the GSA have forbidden use of the stargate however you just traveled here using one."

"Yes, however it isn't an outright forbidden topic. We are not slaves or restricted to any one thing under the GSA law. We have rights and freedoms. We can choose what is right for each of our planets and individuals have all the right to say yes or no to anything asked of them." Tenaya nodded and explained, "Right now the stargate is something new and even though we have been told about the stargate and the reasons why it isn't used, Colonel Truman has decided that for the time being we will facilitate use of the stargate with caution and discretion."

"And that means?" Hammond asked

"We will most likely seal our gate again until a better method can be devised." Tenaya explained.

Hammond nodded, "I will talk to my superiors about giving you the information you have asked for, I should know by the end of the day."

"I have one more request that was asked of me by the civilian council." Tenaya said after a pause, "I know it might seem strange that all of this was asked by me seeing as I am just one person who many would limit because of my impairment but I was sent because of the relationship I had established with SG1."

"What kind of a request is this one?" Hammond enquired

"This is a request that sort of needs to be kept off of public records just for your peoples own security. I need to locate a group known as Space Patrol Delta. Years ago when the group was formed and they offered to put an agency on Corinthum it was declined because we had these huge dreams of how we were going to protect ourselves that we felt we didn't need the external protection of this group." Tenaya explained, "However now that our pride has been crushed we need to approach them but all requests need to be made in person."

"How will we be of assistance to this feat?" Teal'c enquired.

"We don't have a ship of our own nor does our representative have the means to get us to their headquarters so our only other option would be to approach the group that is stationed here on Earth." Tenaya reasoned.

"I will look into seeing if this group exists however until then why don't you return to your room or get a bite to eat?" the Hammond suggested.

Tenaya nodded in agreement as she rose from her chair while one of her guards took her elbow to guide her to the door. "Thank you for your assistance." She thanked the guard as they walked

"It is not a problem ma'am." The guard smiled as he led her from the room

"You have done this a time or two. I can feel it in the way you lead; most people seem hesitant or unsure if they don't do this regularly." Tenaya said

"My younger sister is blind and I used to lead her around a lot like this so that she didn't have to use her cane or to help her navigate buffet lines." The guard explained.

SG1PR

SG1 was sitting at the table discussing Tenaya's latest request when the Stargate activated. Jack rolled his eyes as they went down to the control room, "who else is going to knock on our door?"

Walter sat at his station and looked up as SG1 and Hammond walked in, "We are receiving Jonas' IDC sir."

"Open the Iris Sargent." Hammond nodded ready to welcome the Kelownan back to the SGC.

Jonas stepped through the stargate and waved at SG1 when he saw them in the control room, "Sorry to come on such short notice but my schedule was clear and I really just needed to get away for a while."

Hammond nodded, "Welcome back Jonas Quinn."

Jonas scratched his head, "Thank you sir, I was hoping you wouldn't mind my coming for a few days."

Daniel leaned in, "I was actually going to give you a call later concerning a request you made before you left."

"Did the people of Corinthum invite you for a visit?" Jonas asked with a smile

"Not quite!" Jack rocked to his toes with a look of desperation

Sam shook her head, "Tenaya is here with us for a short stay."

"Really?" Jonas asked with another smile, "Do you think I could join in with any discussions with Tenaya, I acknowledge I am no longer a part the SGC but I did come to understand some of her peoples culture during our short visit there."

"For some reason, I think Tenaya will like Jonas better than me." Daniel voiced his opinion.

"She likes you just fine Danny-boy." Jack said slapping Daniel's back.

Hammond nodded, "Your knowledge might come in handy in this case."

After everyone had started heading up the steps a technician slipped Jonas a magazine. Jonas nodded and slipped it into his side bag. He wasn't about to reveal where he received his all his tabloids and there was no rule that he couldn't keep getting them even though he lived back on Kelowna. Tabloids were considered filth and trash.

Going into the briefing room Jonas took a seat at the table and grinned at the thought of sitting at this table again. Sam handed him a banana and a coffee and he knew it was made to be. "So what sort of request did Tenaya make? When we visited her world her people didn't want anything from us, nor did they need anything from us."

"They want a list of potential bad guys and their weaknesses because apparently there might be a Goa'uld or other non GSA baddie on Corinthum and they may have been there for some time," Jack responded.

"Are the Corinthiums ready to talk about an alliance with the people of Earth?" Jonas asked

"Not yet, they are more interested on reaching a group they believe is operating here on Earth known as Space Patrol Delta. Apparently they feel this group would be better off protecting then than we would." Sam shook her head.

"Well if all bad guys who might attack their world are like what we ran into on P4Z-4X2 I don't think the SGC would be a good protection for the people of Corinthum." Jonas threw in his advice.

Jack nodded, "Ahh, you mean those Zing-Zane guys?"

Daniel looked at a page in front of him, "I believe the report called them Zangyack Jack"

"Yes, that it did" Jack pointed at Daniel with a nod.

Teal'c looked at the rest of the team with a raised eyebrow.

Jonas stood up and shrugged, "Teal'c do you have one of your copies of the tabloids from five months ago on you?"

Teal'c revealed a magazine and pushed it across the table to Jonas without a word

Jack shook his head, "Really T?"

"I know you don't like my theories about how the Power rangers are connected to this all however I think I may remember something that might prove useful." Jonas flipped open the tabloid and wrote Space Patrol Delta on the white board. In another color he rewrote the S the P and the D before writing Power Rangers above the label."

Sam tilted her head, "Sir Jonas may actually have something. I admit to reading that article and there is the group in New Tech City: Special Police Delta. It just happens to be the same city the mysterious power rangers SPD operated out of."

"Are you really buying this?" Jack protested before turning to Hammond, "Do you believe any of this?"

AN: So in order to hide SPD in the ranks of current day Earth I combined the PR name with the Sentai name which will give them their cover story.
