A/N: So chapter two. Here it goes.
Alex563 sat at a computer in the control room typing at a constant speed. Jack lent over her shoulder to be better able to see what she was doing.
"Sir, if you wish to know what I am doing it would serve you better to just ask rather then try to read over my shoulder." Alex563 told the now disgruntled looking CO.
"Fine what are you doing?" Jack asked.
"Reading your old mission reports again, I find that I am better able to understand why you did some things now that I have met you and watched you interact with your group." Alex563 said.
"But you only met us two hours ago, so how can you have observed us interacting or working as a group?" Jack had taken an interest in this strange teenager.
Alex spun around on her chair, "Jack, I am not like other people. What would take then weeks to observe in their surrounding, takes me mere hours."
"Hope you have fun with that. You said you were reading our old mission reports iagain/i?" Jack did not believe that anyone would have bothered to read all of their reports.
"Actually sir I said your, I have already read over Major Carter's and Teal'c's, then after your's I am going to go over Daniel's again. Also I am reading them as it will help me understand how to work in a group as I have never been required to do so before." Alex563 got up left Jack in the control room in a stunned stupor.
"You… you've never had… had to work… in a group before?" Jack stuttered into the now empty space.
A prompt 'No Sir' made its way to Jack's ears from the hallway. Jack, in his confused state of mind, was not paying all that much attention to where he was going and soon enough found himself out side of Sam's lab/office. He always came here when he wanted answers, or when he didn't or when he was bored, who was he kidding he always came here regardless of his reason.
Jack heard Daniel's and Sam's voices coming from inside the lab and with out bothering to knock he made his way inside. The pair of egg heads were at Sam's bench talking about Alex563 over a cup of steaming coffee when Jack interrupted. Looking up Sam waved him towards a spare stool before turning back to Daniel.
"… Area 51 have always experimented with human cloning and genetics, I just never realised that they had succeeded in creating living clones that were able to with stand the intense training courses that are in Alex's record." Sam finished.
"Sam, you heard what she said, most of them didn't withstand the training. Out of her group she was one of five of that survived. I asked her earlier and she said that the Alex group originally had 56 members. 40 of them died before birth and the other 11 died during training when their bodies just gave up." Daniel ever the humanist had enquired about the rest of her group.
"So they only have a 28.5% chance of being born alive and then a 45.5% chance of surviving the training. That's horrible. But you have to wonder what they are doing it for and where the rest of Alex is." Sam instantly sprouted off the maths to go with Daniels ethical problems.
"We don't know and we don't care! Lets just try and get threw these next few missions with out bringing the death toll of Alex up any further okay?" Jack really didn't care about the stats, he just wanted his team to be left alone to do what they did best, save the world.
"Yes sir."
"Okay Jack. Anyway, it is getting pretty late and I for one would like to get some work done today. There is a tablet from P2X-055 that SG-4 brought back that I want to translate, it is in an ancient gou'ald dialect…" With that said Daniel wandered absent-mindedly out of the lab and down the corridor still mumbling to himself about the variations that he had so far found in the dialect.
Jack turned to his 2IC. "So Major… what do ya recon the first mission with Alex522 will be?"
"Sir its Alex563…" A blank stare from he CO "Never mind, anyway General Hammond just sent our next mission. It's a moon called M3R-396, apparently there is some extraordinary astronomical phenomenon that he think Alex and I will be able to better understand after a bit of observation." Sam paused to look at Jack and realised that she had lost him at 'It's a moon'. "Sir!"
"Wha?"
"We will be there for a week. Departure is set for tomorrow at 1300."
Jack nodded to show that he had got the last bit before he also left Sam's office to hunt put Teal'c and a boxing match.
Next time on SG-1 the team and Alex563 will start their first mission together.
A.N. Hey guys sorry that this has taken so long, anyway the next chapter should be up in a few days.
