Chapter 11
"General? What going on?" Daniel asked as they reached the room. General Hammond turned around to find himself in front of the rest of SG-1.
"Briefing room," he told them and walked to the stairs.
Twelve hours later, the Stargate was activated, and the power went out. The guards were ready and waited in the gate room when Jack and Sam stepped on the ramp. The wormhole disengaged, and the power returned at the same time. General Hammond and SG1 rushed to the gate room
"Captain? How is he?"
"Well, hello to you to General. I am here you know?" Jack answered before Sam could.
"What happened? Who did you see?" Daniel asked.
"Well, we meet our first new allies," Sam smiled.
"Who are they?" Ferretti asked
"The Asgards. Sir, we are fine."
"It will be in our reports, sir," Sam added.
"Very well then. Colonel, Captain, once you get the all clear take three days off."
"Yes, sir."
"What about the ship?" Daniel asked
"Later Daniel. Sam and I are looking forward to spending some time with our sons." Jack said over his shoulder as they walked out of the room.
"See you in three days!" he turned towards Sam,
"So, three days, huh. What can we do in three days?"
"Oh, I'm sure we can think of some way to spend time," she grinned.
"I always loved the way you think, Sam," he wriggled his eyebrows.
"You know, we could even take longer. Now we know what's on that ship."
"Jack!"
"Yes, Sam." he said smiling.
By the time they returned to work, Sam was itching to get her hands on everything Jack had written when he had the ancient knowledge. She thanked God because it was all in English, she wasn't sure she would be able not to overload herself and Daniel with work if it was in Latin.
Months later, she still was going through all. She found the blueprints of the DHD and the ship he had drawn and then she found some words scattered around the pages.
"Ice, south, outpost" she read placing her finger over the words.
"Captain Carter," General Hammond said making her yelp.
"General! Sorry, sir. I was reading one of the many files that were left behind after the repository download. What can I do for you, sir?"
"Lunch, Captain." She raised an eyebrow confused.
"Colonel O'Neill asked me to make sure you stopped for lunch." Sam smiled
"Thank you, sir. I was about to when I found this one file, and it puzzled me."
"Puzzled you? In what way?"
"Yeah, this one mentions ice, south and what seems like an outpost on Earth."
"Is this Jack's idea of puzzles?" He asked frowning.
"No, sir. This isn't like Jack at all. Don't worry, If I think of something I'll let you know."
"Good, now stop for lunch, Captain. That's an order."
"Yes, sir." She said as she closed everything.
"Hey!" Jack's voice called behind her back, and she smiled brightly.
"Jack! How was the mission?" she asked. Containing herself since it was a week from the last time she saw him.
"Boring, long, lonely. What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to understand something I read from your files. These words look like some sort of clue to something big, see… These," she said showing the printed version of the file.
"I don't know about outpost but ice and south. South and ice…" he trailed his only option was glaringly obvious. But she didn't say it.
"I don't know about you, but the only thing I can come up with is Antarctica. It's south and ice." He shrugged. Her eyes widened.
"How did I missed that! That's got to be it!" She said kissing him.
"What did I do?" He said trying to understand why had she kissed him on the base of all the sites. She huffed.
"I know you are not dumb, Jack O'Neill. The outpost must be down in Antarctica! What do you say if we take the ship for a spin?" he smiled then frowned.
"Well, as much as I love the idea, it's big area to cover, Sam."
"However, with the ship, we can find the outpost quicker."
"Okay, you got me. You are the genius. Let's go and talk to General Hammond."
After a short explanation, Hammond agreed. They geared up and walked towards the ship. Patting the sides, Sam contacted the door button, and they entered it. Jack started the engines, and in minutes they were hovering over Antarctica. Jack made the sensors pop up on the screen as they flew over McMurdo base.
"Jack! Do you see what I see?" Sam asked after a while.
"Yeah, let's go and check it out."
Hovering the ship over the area, Jack found a place to land. They took a moment to get winter gear ready, and once they were both covered, they walked out of the ship. They strolled over to a spot not far away from the ship and dug a hole. Slowly, they prepared the climbing gear and slid down into the cavern.
"Holy Hannah!" Sam exclaimed once they reached the bottom and scanned the area and found that there was a metal piece sticking out of the ice. She brushed most of the ice away
"Jack! It's a DHD!"
"Ah, Sam?"
"It must be the one missing from Giza!"
"Uh, I don't think so."
"What do you mean? From where else it could be?" She said turning towards Jack, frowning she walked to where he was.
"Maybe is from this Stargate?" He asked.
"Woah, We better let General Hammond know!"
"I think this is the one that the ancients brought with them," Jack said.
"Okay, lets head back."
"Hang on, if this is here, what else did they leave behind?" Sam asked.
"Good point," they headed back to the surface and collected their climbing gear before returning to the ship and scouting the land.
"Jack, there," she said pointing to the screen around ten minutes later. He again flew to the area and searched for a place to land.
"Hell! There's at least a mile of ice down there." She sighed.
"I guess we know to head back and tell Hammond?"
"I guess so." Then they flew back to Colorado springs
"Colonel, Captain did you find the outpost?" General Hammond asked them an hour later when they were sitting in his office.
"Yes, sir. It's about a mile under ice." Sam said
"There's more, sir." Jack grinned.
"More?"
"Yeah! We came across another Stargate and DHD."
"Are you sure?" he asked, but Sam showed him the video images of what they had found before.
"I'll make some calls. This could the biggest discovery since finding the first Stargate, well done!"
"Thank you, sir."
"I'll keep you up to date."
"Thank you, sir."
They stood up and walked out of the General's office while he placed some phone calls.
