Part 2. Now please be aware that I want this story to be separatedinto segments that almost leave the same feelings as a cliff hanger, as I feel that in a lot of ways that is how the TV series is structured. As such, some chapters will be smaller thanothers.
I would also like you all to be aware that I am beginning my third year of university this week so my publishing times may become inconsistent. Please be patient and have faith.
I would love to hear feedback and read any reviews you feel like posting. Also, I welcome constructive criticism, but let's all remain friendly and positive :) I hope you enjoy this chapter
Upon her arrival at Stagate Command, G was rushed through the facility and to the gate control room, where Major General Jack O'Niell and Dr. Daniel Jackson were waiting for her.
"Hey, you ready G?" Daniel asked her, placing a hand on her shoulder, which G was sure was meant to be comforting, but only added to her rising feelings of trepidation. She nodded briskly, turning her attention to O'Niell.
"I've done as you asked, my belongings have ben taken to the gate room. Do you have any further information on my sister at present?" G made sure that her voice remained strong and professional despite the fear that was clawing at her gut.
"Yeah, look kid, I'm not sure that I'm the right one to tell you everything. We need you to go through the gate to Atlantis, other than that Jackson will brief you on the situation." With that O'Niell gave her an awkward pat on the arm and his trademark uncertain smile, at which G's already unsteady legs began to shake. He left the room, nodding and uttering orders at Gate Control as he went. Jackson placed his hand on G's back and began to lead her down into the Gate room.
"Daniel, please, tell me what's happened," G spoke quietly so that only she and her colleague could hear. Although she was allowing her weariness and concern appear in her voice, Jackson admired that she kept her eyes trained on the gate and her body language rigid and professional. "What has happened to my sister?"
"Elizabeth and the others have discovered a world full of thriving replicators. They were taken captive, but assisted in their escape by one of the replicators who wished to improve himself in order to achieve ascension and didn't believe that causing our personnel harm would assist in that." Daniel sighed, knowing that the rest of the story would be hitting a sore point for the girl before him. Her silvery eyes were already looking full of apprehension. "G, he infected your sister with the nanites. They're trying to take over her body."
"So basically you are calling me in because apart from perhaps Dr McKay, I may be the only person able to affect the outcome for my sister," she turned to him then with a steely resolve. Her violet hair had been put up in a hurry and tendrils now framed her face highlighting her unnaturally silver eyes which were currently swimming with emotion. "It's either that, or you are sending me to say goodbye."
"We're hoping that you can help save your sister, G, we really are." He replied, looking her in the eye with compassion and what G assumed was pity. "But we're also hoping you can assist if the replicators continue to pose a threat to Atlantis. I know this is hard for you G, but we really need your expertise on this one." She nodded to Jackson and looked up through the window to the Gate operators, nodding again to signal that she was ready to depart.
"Well… Wish me luck, from the sounds of it I'm going to need it," she stated simply, the strength in her conviction striking Daniel with surprise. She then turned to him with a somewhat rueful expression. "And tell the General that if my sister dies, I'll be coming after him."
With that the gate opened and the lapis surface shimmered to life. With one final farewell gesture at SGC, G walked calmly through the wormhole, pushing a cart with her belongings as she went. The familiar feeling of weightlessness and of the universe rushing past her enveloped her and momentarily she was left in a serene silence, only for her mind to come crashing back to her loud reality when the exited the gate into the lost city of Atlantis.
