AN: See the note at the end for changes to SPD.

Tenaya sat in the back seat of an SUV. She had been surprised when General Hammond had granted her request after finding potentially what she had asked for. She reached over and felt for Jonas' hand who had begged to join SG1 on this quest with her. "This reminds me of the last time we rode together."

"Except we aren't in the front seat and your brother isn't glaring at me the entire drive." Jonas chuckled.

They had flown across the country and were currently driving to the up and coming metropolis of New Tech city which had recently started developing since the private police force academy had opened up there enticing potential law enforcement officers from all over the world to study at the academy before going on to study at state police academies.

Teal'c sat in the passenger seat while Sam drove. Daniel sat on the other side of Tenaya and Jack had refused to join them saying it was a futile task and they were just taking an alien on a useless trip."

Hammond had been hesitant to allow Tenaya to go however Sam had backed Tenaya up, "What is she going to see sir? We will be on a plane and then a car and she is blind it isn't like she is going to see how our world is laid out."

"Alright she can go but keep her public exposure to a minimum." Hammond had nodded.

Sam pulled into a parking lot and Jonas looked out at the perfectly manicured lawns which were only marred by a group of young recruits out for an orderly jog across the campus. There was an odd rectangular patch of lawn that no one seemed to walk on in between the main campus building and the street.

Daniel and Teal'c climbed out of the SUV and Jonas assisted Tenaya out of the back seat. If they hadn't known better she would look just like any other young woman off of the street. She had been given a pair of jeans and a t-shirt as well as a pair of fashion sunglasses to ward off any bright lights. Janet had even made her take a cane which she had protested about telling Jonas that she never uses any such assistance back home as it makes her feel different. The cane was currently folded up in her pocket and she simply linked arms with Jonas.

Tenaya breathed in deeply, "The flowers smell so heavenly. The flowers in Corinth don't smell nearly as good and the flowers in the wastelands are so small and only bloom after a cleansing rainfall that they don't give off such nice scents."

Sam looked at Tenaya, "Remember you can't talk about that here."

Tenaya nodded, "I know, I am from Corinth Maine if anyone asks." Tenaya said annoyed, "Although I find it quite amusing that you have so many places called Corinth around here. Back home we only have one city called Corinth."

Daniel laughed, "You have one city!"

Tenaya smiled as she was guided to the door, "True!"

Walking into the main lobby Sam looked around. There was a display with the history of the police force on display and a directory pointing to different lecture halls and the dormitory. At the back of the lobby there was an information desk and a young woman wearing the Special Police Delta uniform sat there with braids wrapped around her head.

"Welcome to the Delta base how can I direct you?" she chirped cheerfully

Tenaya stepped forward, "I need to speak to Commander Cruger."

"Do you have an appointment?" the person chirped back.

"Not really, however, if you tell him that Tenaya from Corinth is here to see him. He should understand who I am." Tenaya explained

"Cadet are you giving these guests a hard time?" A woman wearing a lab coat came over to them with a nod.

The cadet stood and folded her arms behind her back, "No Ma'am!"

"Tenaya, you and your guests can follow me; I will take you to Commander Cruger. We have been expecting a visit from someone from your city." The woman nodded and led the way, "I am Dr. Kat Manx and I am in charge of the science division here, I am responsible for some of the new technology that has been made available to various law enforcement groups."

Sam nodded, "I am Major Samantha Carter and this Murray, Jonas and Dr. Daniel Jackson."

"I know much about you all as you will soon find out." Kat nodded as she pressed the button for the top floor next to the elevator.

Stepping into the elevator everyone seemed cautious after Kat's comment. However not a word was said until they were out of the elevator and walking down a hallway filled with classrooms.

Kat pulled out an ID card and swiped it into a card reader but didn't open the door more than enough to place her hand on. "When we walk through this door you are going to see some things that are going to change your way of thinking but you cannot freak out."

Kat opened the door and everyone walked through before Kat joined them letting the door shut behind them. The initial part of the hallway was dark so they didn't see anything however they stepped over a ledge and they found themselves in a see through walkway that extended about a hundred feet over the lawn.

Jonas looked down, "Ok we didn't see this when we walked in."

Kat turned to look at them, "that is because we have entered a subspace pocket that houses the actual power behind the SPD name."

Daniel jumped back when he noticed that Kat now had feline ears and fangs where her canine teeth should be.

"Perhaps it was a good idea that we left Colonel O'Neill behind." Teal'c acknowledged

"Teal'c you may take that hat off, you will not stand out where I will be taking you." Kat acknowledged as she led them to a door on the other side of the walkway.

Sam gasped, "You are GSA aren't you?"

Kat nodded, "We are allied with the GSA although we are not necessarily GSA ourselves however we do extend our services to them."

Jonas prodded, "See I was right!"

Tenaya absorbed everything that was being said from Jonas' side with a smile glad that this had proven to be the correct place.

Just before Kat could reach for the door it swung open and a humanoid alien wearing a uniform stepped out into the walkway. Daniel pointed as the Alien passed by with his elongated sleek grey skin and three tipped clawed hand.

"Uhh is he supposed to be going to that other building?" Daniel asked

Kat nodded, "of course it is fine, and once he leaves this walkway he will have a human appearance. Like me we only appear for what we are inside the actual SPD."

Stepping into a main corridor everyone looked around however unfortunately a man with wild blond hair ran smack into Tenaya spilling a tray of egg shaped objects.

Kat jumped, "Boom, what have I told you about running with my experiments?"

Boom scrambled to pick them up, "Uhh sorry Kat, it won't happen again."

"It is alright Boom why don't you clean up and return them to the lab." Kat smiled with a change in tune.

Jonas helped Tenaya recover and looked back at Boom as he did so.

Once they were around the corner Kat whispered, "Boom is my assistant; he has true potential if he can ever just get his head on straight. He flunked out of the academy after just one day but because the Commander sees something in him as do I we gave him a job here."

It looks like he tries your patience." Daniel noted as he looked around.

As they walked various other aliens passed by them and Sam nodded, "Yes Daniel, Colonel O'Neill staying behind was a very good thing."

A young woman wearing an SPD uniform trimmed in pink walked up to them and pulled her arm to her chest in a form of a salute. "Commander Cruger has asked for a few more moments as he is in conference with Nova."

Kat nodded, "This is B-Squad Cadet Ranger Sydney Drew."

Teal'c observed the young woman, "You are human?"

Syd smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I suppose I am human but that is an odd question now isn't it when you are where the hidden is obvious."

Kat smirked, "Although some things are not so obvious to some people."

Syd rolled her eyes, "If you would like Cruger has asked that you wait in the lounge which is just down this way."

Everyone turned to follow the new comers lead as she led them into a room in the opposite direction. There they encountered many different types of aliens all sitting down sharing in either a meal or playing a game with each other. For the most part they all wore the standard uniform. Syd led the group over to a small group of people who were wearing uniforms similar to hers.

Kat excused herself once she saw that they were alright with waiting in this room. "I have some experiments I need to get back to doing and also consoling Boom about his error in judgment."

"I will keep an eye on them." A young man with Blonde hair who was wearing a white uniform and looked like he couldn't be older than fifteen nodded.

Kat nodded, "Thank you Sam."

Sam introduced himself, "I am Special Operations officer Sam Omega."

Syd giggled, "Sam is the only member of this operation who is human but not from Earth."

Sam rolled his eyes and glared at Syd who promptly shut her mouth.

"For Syd's information, I was born here on Earth but a genetic accident had me transferred by an early team when I was only a year old to the new home world of Space Patrol Delta." Sam explained, "I will be seventeen next week."

A girl closer in age to Syd coughed into her hand, "If it matters I am B Squad Cadet Ranger Z Delgado and these are Sky Tate, Bridge Carson and SOPHIE who are all also a part of the B Squad.

SOPHIE looked up at them with a slightly guilty look on her face and then Sam noticed as she looked down that SOPHIE's skin was peeled back on her arm exposing tangled wires.

Omega smiled, "You don't need to be worried, SOPHIE is an android who works for SPD. It is her entire mission to work with our equipment and fine tune any power fluctuations but she is also a mighty fine fighter so she was given the position on B Squad that was vacated by Jack Landers who is currently visiting and was around here."

Just as Omega said that a Black man with dreads stepped through the wall and flopped down on the couch, "You will see some strange things around here and our team isn't even the tip of the iceberg."

Bridge looked at them, "Jack is right; we aren't as strange as some things around here even with our genetic powers that caused us to be social outcasts growing us."

Z nodded, "We were born with really strange and abnormal powers that as babies we couldn't control. Luckily when the GSA reawakened here on Earth we were saved from ourselves and our powers brought more into control. Unfortunately it was too late for Jack and I because we were abandoned by our families who didn't understand us."

"How were your powers brought into control?" Sam asked

Sky nodded, "there is a device here on Earth that the GSA owns that can alter a person's genetic structures. It was used on us. While our powers couldn't be removed altogether we are well within our limits to control our abilities, just don't touch Bridge, his powers are harder to control and sometimes send him into mental overload."

Bridge nodded, "I wear gloves to help control my powers and keep myself removed from touching other people's thoughts. We were allowed to live our normal lives and with the exception of Z, Jack and Sam we were accepted back into our own families. However recently we were all recruited and asked to serve with SPD for a time."

Everyone from the SGC took all this information in however Tenaya drank it all in having heard stories like this passed down from others on her planet.

"Sam do you think this genetic device could be like the one we found that Niirti was using?" Jonas enquired.

"I really don't know Jonas but it sounds like it might be."

Omega nodded, "You don't have to worry about the genetic resequencer that was used on us it is useless against people who don't have a specific gene in their bodies. It is part of a failsafe on the device which is very well hidden from the common eye in a place where no one ever goes."

Tenaya smiled, "Don't worry about the device, no one from the GSA will ever go out seeking people who might have the gene. It goes against the three cardinal rules that are embedded in every member of the GSA."

Daniel looked at Tenaya, "You know of these rules?"

Tenaya nodded, "Everyone on Corinth understands them to some aspect, they are simple and while they only apply to certain people we all understand them and don't misuse the rules."

Omega nodded, "You are from Corinthum!"

"Yes, I am from Corinthum." Tenaya nodded

"My partner who doesn't serve with B Squad like I do is originally from Corinthum, she left the planet years ago though, she calls herself Nova and she was my mentor and trainer as I grew up within SPD."

Sam looked at Tenaya and the rest of B Squad, "So what about these rules that you all follow?"

"Don't use your power for personal gain." Jack began to list off

"Never reveal your identity. Which sort of goes along with the first rule." Bridge explained the second rule.

Never escalate a battle, the GSA is purely a defensive force, we can strike out at an enemy that keeps striking us if they are deemed a big enough threat however." Omega explained.

Jonas looked at Jack, "Isn't what you did earlier considered using your power for personal gain?"

"Nah, man," Jack laughed, "that was just playing around. Using my power for personal gain would be me walking down the street seeing someone about to be hit by a falling object and me phasing that person through a wall to save them from injury."

"Exactly, there is nothing to keep us from playing as long as we don't interfere with other people's lives." Sky replied

There was a deep cough from behind them and Bridge darted over, "May I introduce you to Commander Anubis 'Doggie' Cruger. We call him Doggie because he looks like a big scaly blue dog in his natural form."

"Cadet Carson!" Cruger reprimanded Bridge.

Bridge shut his mouth and returned to the couch.

Cruger looked at Tenaya, "Tenaya I understand that you were sent to petition SPD for the allowance to have a base placed on your world?"

"Yes sir!" Tenaya turned to face the voice and nodded her head. "I was told to try and make contact with you here as it would be faster than waiting for someone to come and check on us from Galactic Prime."

"And it has been a much shorter route. You can discuss this plea with the members of Galactic Prime. Nova is prepping her ship to take you there." Cruger addressed the young Corinthium that stood before him.

Daniel stepped forward, "Tenaya is our guest and we can't just let her go without permission from our superiors."

Cruger growled, "Tenaya is a citizen of the GSA and it is our primary mission to see that citizens of the GSA are looked after."

Tenaya let go of Jonas and turned around, "It is alright, this is the way it is supposed to be. I will have someone dial Earth when I am returned to Corinthum."

Omega took Tenaya's arm and led her towards the door leaving SG1 and Jonas with Cruger and the rest of the B Squad.

"I will attempt to answer some of your questions in the meantime before you must return to your base." Cruger nodded, "I will tell you that after you leave much of this SPD base will change as many of us will be leaving Earth to instead protect Corinthum. We will leave an essentials team behind but we have done the original job that was required by us here."

"You are just going to pack up and leave?" Sam asked

"It is the way it has to be, we allowed you to find out about us and that falls under revealing our identity." Sky nodded, "It is the way our lives go and we only do what is asked of us in order to protect that which we love."

"Come with me and I can explain to you some of the reasons behind why the GSA does what it does." Cruger gestured them out of the room.

AN: These are just some of the changes I have made to SPD in order to make it fit the current day. Basically one big change is that I took the idea from Dekaranger that aliens appear as human when they are in common day settings so as to not stand out as aliens. SPD outside the secretive Ranger base is known as Special Police Delta and everything pertaining to the rangers is invisible to the everyday eye unless covered by the morphing grid.

The rangers were born with powers that they couldn't control so the GSA stepped in and used a genetic resequencer on them to allow them to control their powers and as such asked them to join them when the time was right.
