Tada! Chapter two, still just an intro, Chapter three will difianately have more action I promise! Anywho thanks for the reviews!
Dis I own nothing...I'm going to college, gosh...well I do own Anna so don't steal her...
"Wow, space… um that's big… General." Anna sat in the Stargate briefing room next to her uncle.
Jack nodded his head, "Uh yeah, well space generally is big, but what do you say? You'll be helping to save the world! Think about it?"
"How long do I have to think?" She asked raising an eyebrow his direction.
He made a face, "You can't leave the base until you make a decision."
"Ah, I knew there was a catch of some kind." She smiled, "Well it'll sure be a learning experience."
"You mean you accept?" Jack gave a small smile.
"I accept." She held out her hand, Jack grabbed it and shook it.
"Wonderful, we'll have everything sent to your office then." Jack stood, "Until then why don't you get acquainted with Daniel, er, Dr. Jackson and Major Carter."
"Alright I think I can handle that, but where exactly are they? I think I can manage Dr. Jackson, but Major Carter's office… this place is very big." Anna stood up and walked with Jack to the door.
"Uh well let see," He ran a hand over his face, "Actually Carter's office is on another floor one you don't have access to yet and Daniel's is on this floor so why don't you just talk with him."
"Yes sir!" She mock saluted and headed off back to Dr. Jackson's office.
Dr. Daniel Jackson, she'd always thought that his theories were interesting and a little on the far side of crazy, but now they made perfect sense. Anna made a mental note to never tell him that she had thought him a loon. That wouldn't be good considering she already felt as if she'd pushed a little too hard showing him that she could translate alien text.
"I did it without knowing, can't be that hard to explain." She mumbled to herself, "It's just in me to solve things."
She turned into the hall where Dr. Jackson's office was. Just outside his door she stopped took a deep breath and tapped on his door.
"Come in!" He was bent over his desk pouring over books and notebooks.
"Dr. Jackson, General O'Neil sent me here." He looked up and stood to his full height.
"Uh, any reason why?" He adjusted his glasses and looked at her with his blue eyes.
She looked down at the floor suddenly feeling awkward for being there, "I think he shoved me off to someone else so he could do something else."
"That would be Jack." Daniel smiled, "Good catch, by the way."
"Excuse me?" Anna looked up and let herself in closer.
"Your find with the ending markings, it helped a lot." He looked down at the translation.
"Oh, it really helped?" She stopped near the desk looking at him.
He nodded, "Yes more then you know."
Some silence passed between them before Anna asked, "So what language was that exactly?"
"Hm? Oh um…It's an older dialect of the Goa'uld." He told her, "You see we recently went to a planet where we found this. It's similar, but harder to make out, thinks are rearranged, so to speak."
She moved to his side to get a better look at it, "Could it be more what we'd call our Shakespearian era here on Earth."
Daniel looked down at her, "How do you mean?"
"Our language evolved from the Shakespearian time. To be or not to be, would translate to I don't know what to do, or rather in Hamlets perspective, what should I be." She looked up at him with her brown eyes, "So is it possible that possible things that are 'backwards' for lack of a better term at the moment are simply Shakespeare?"
She hoped she'd made sense to him. It looked so good in her head, it might look better on paper, but saying things was not her expertise.
"That makes sense." Daniel nodded, "You're right every language evolves in some way or another. Maybe I should read some Shakespeare and see how things workout."
She sighed, "For a moment there I thought I didn't make any sense to you."
"Well I've been translating languages for years now, so no worries." Daniel bent over again to his research.
Anna opened her mouth, she didn't know whether or not she should be insulted. Just as she decided, she was interrupted, "Knock knock!"
They both looked at the door, Major Carter was standing there with a bright smile on her face, "Daniel is it alright if I steal the new linguist show her around my office and get her caught up on things."
"Not at all please understanding everything helps with translating after all." He barely moved from his bent over position.
"Ms. Anderson if you'll follow me." She smiled as Anna followed her to an elevator.
"Please you can just call me Anna or Ann." The elevator door opened and they both stepped on.
"Only if you call me Sam, you only have to be formal with me when it's necessary." Sam smiled at her.
"Deal." The doors opened and they walked off toward Sam's office, "So you're the technical aspect of this team."
"Well I'm not the only one, but for team SG-1 yeah I am." Sam smiled and walked into what looked like something from a sci-fi movie.
Anna's mouth dropped, "Excuse me for picking my jaw off the floor."
Sam chuckled, "Still not used to the whole alien technology."
"It's just I never thought we, as a people, would have so much technology already." She picked up a round ball that had a large red circle on the top.
"Ah!" Sam grabbed it from her hands, "That's dangerous."
"OH! I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse me I have bad wandering fingers." She clasped her hands behind her back.
"It's alright, to touch things just ask before you do." Sam explained that it was a Goa'uld grenade.
Anna's eye's widened, "Is everything in here a weapon?"
"No, not everything, take this for example." Sam picked up another round but smaller blue device, "Watch this."
She stepped away from Anna and placed the thing on her chest, and suddenly Jack was there.
"Uncle Jack?" Anna jumped.
"You think so don't you?" He told her, "But would the General know how to describe space telemetry?"
"I don't think he would even know how to say telemetry." Anna smirked.
"Hey…" He made a face.
"Oh! Sorry…" Anna looked at the floor.
He tapped his chest and Sam was there again, "Its okay, I agree with you just don't tell him that." Anna laughed as Sam brought the device for her to look at, "It's a cloaking device that some aliens used to infiltrate our ranks."
"They did that?" Anna held the device in her hand tracing her fingers over the edges.
"Well they thought they had us but we figured it out." Sam sat down, "Well where to begin on telling you how this relates to what you'll be doing. Um…"
Several hours later Anna had made it to the mess hall in the base. She had a slight headache from all the space telemetry and technology talk from Sam and thought some food would.
She was just stating into her favorite blue jello when Jack sat down at the table, "Hey! I got a surprise for you!"
"A bed?" She guessed.
"Uh no… Here." He handed her a security card, "Know you can go anywhere!"
"Thank you…" She pick up and flipped it from front to back.
"Don't lose it, especially off base!" He pointed his finger at her and scooped up her jello.
"HEY! Give me back jello!" She yelled.
He held the jello a whole arms length away from her, "Not until you tell me what's wrong."
"What's wrong is you have my jello! Sir!" She slapped his arm.
"Ow...Stop that!" He looked at her, "Something's bugging you and I want to know what. You were ecstatic earlier, what happened since then?"
Anna rolled her eyes, "Nothing I just did what you wanted me to do. I talked to Daniel and Sam." He caught the slight change in her voice when she said Daniel.
"What did he do to you?" He put the jello on a different table and leaned on the one he was at.
"Wh-what?" She stammered out.
"Daniel what did he say to you?" His eyes narrowed a little, acting like an over protective father.
"Nothing, we just talked about his translation."
"The one that he couldn't figure out?" Jack pressed.
"Yeah, I guess…why?" She watched as her jello was picked up by another soldier and thrown away, she frowned.
"He's sent you the cold shoulder, hasn't he? Seemed a bit distant and distracted?"
"Now that you mention he did seem a bit put off by something, of coarse I wouldn't know either way since I just met him…" She trailed off. Really it had been bother her all day. Dr. Daniel Jackson, did seem put off and it wasn't a normal thing for him.
"Don't worry it's just his way of pouting. He does it to me all the time when I tell we have to come home earlier from a mission and there's so much more to translate and what not." He smiled.
"He just didn't seem like he wanted to talk much." Anna shrugged.
"This is odd because he's the first to try and talk his way through anything, even if it means getting shot at." He said recalling a few times when Daniel talking had caused them a lot of pain, "Come on enough of this I'll show you to your office."
"Alright," She stood, "but you still owe me a new blue jello."
