"Hello, Samantha Carter, How are you today?" Samantha turned around to the voice, the voice belonged to a man, tall, broad shoulders, tanned skin and shaven black hair. His brown eyes gave him a feel of all knowing, like he knew everything she had ever done, and ever would do.
"Ah!" Samantha said startled.
"Sorry about this I don't mean any harm, I am Nimthîriel Antien,"
"Umm, Hi," said Samantha Carter.
"I came to apologize for a scare a member of my kind gave you a few months ago."
"Oh,"
"Would you mind if I saw Ronon, Dr. McKay and Colonel Shepard? More importantly Ronon"
"Yeah I would, I mean what are you?"
"Sorry," said Nimthîriel Antien "allow me to explain," and he changed before her eyes from a tall, broad shoulders, tanned skin and shaven black haired man to a shorter, bustier, plumper, light brown haired young lady.
"What….?" Said Samantha Carter
"Like I said, let me explain," she sat down in a chair and motioned for her to take a seat to take a seat and so they did.
"Let me start from the beginning, I belong to a race called Todooconhecimento translated to your language it means all knowing. We know everything and I mean everything, we can change forms, normally into something considered to be physically appealing to the…." She took a moment her to figure out what she would say,
"'Predator' but at a terrible price, we die with in a couple of days to be reborn into a different mindset, a different personality, and in a different place, we are also very weak beings, easily killed."
"So wait a second," Samantha said. "What took you so long to want to do this?" she asked
Nimthîriel Antien replied. "As I said we are born into different personalities, my predecessors did not have any desire to communicate with humans on any matters, or any desire to straighten out the mess that had been made."
Samantha nodded and Nimthîriel Antien continued.
"Normally we live on a diet of bio-energy, most of us leave to a desert or something after a while, but some of us stay around for a long time and become more powerful, start being able to manipulate emotions, live a little longer, but we are still vulnerable. We have existed for a long time, sometimes together, more often as nomads just wandering around. Some of us use are knowledge to play tricks on others, which is what I have come to confront you about."
"Well you did give are team a scare when they where on M6R-125,"
"That is not what I came to discuss," Nimthîriel Antien said. "One of my kindred, now dead, Dûrion, lived a little to long amongst humans, grew a little strong, did some harmful manipulation and uhhhh…sexually assaulted one of your people here."
Ronon had just been running to Samantha Carter's office to ask if he could go on a mission, she had denied him for the past few days insisting that he needed a break, but he didn't want to stop, he had nothing to do when he wasn't on a mission, but think about her. ?he did not want to think about her, it was too painful. When he walked in the room though he was confused to see young lady sitting in Samantha Carter's office wearing earth civilian clothes, "Umm, Samantha Carter-"
"That is not what I came to discuss," the young lady said. "One of my kindred, now dead, Dûrion, lived a little to long amongst humans, grew a little strong, did some harmful manipulation and uhhhh…sexually assaulted one of your people here
"Excuse me?"
"Samantha, she did not realized it, because 'Steve' disguised himself as someone she loved, and Dûrion was able to tamper with her emotions and her…partners."
Samantha Carter sat back in her seat, putting her hand on her head. "Who was it?" she asked
"Your, Doctor Jennifer Keller was assaulted, Ronon was manipulated," she said. Ronon leaned against the side of the entrance; Samantha Carter looked up at him.
"Can you tell us more?" Samantha Carter asked, the young lady took a tablet off Samantha Carter's desk and tapped and wrote for a while,
"This is all you will need," she said and she disappeared.
"What did she give you?" Ronon asked
"An address,"
"A gate address?"
"No an address on earth, it is my old apartment before…" she fell silent.
"Think it is a trap?" asked Ronon
"No I don't think so, she is monitored because she is still with the program, and she works with Dr. Lam in SGC."
"You mean I could talk to her if I wanted to?" Ronon's temper started to rise. 'Why had they kept her a secret from him?'
"She asked never to hear from you again, now I see why," 'girls and their loyalty...' Ronon though with an eye roll.
"Can I go get her?" Ronon asked
"Take Shepard with you; see if you can straighten out this mess,"
We will learn about Dr. Keller in the next chapter!
