Note: Okay here's the next chapter. I have Daniel in here again so continued input as to how I'm doing his character or ways to improve would be appreciated. Plus I'm glad everyone liked the last chapter, and if you let me know I'll do another one like that. Read on and as always review!
Sometimes Miracles Happen

"I just don't get why I can't get this thing to work." Daniel said in frustration. "I've replayed it several times before, and now it won't work at all."
"Maybe it can only be replayed so many times. That way the information doesn't fall into the wrong hands." Jonas suggested.
"It could be- but that just doesn't make any sense. I mean they had this work because they want people to find it, why would they place a fail safe in it?"
"Maybe it just doesn't like Jonas." A voice said behind them.
Daniel rolled his eyes, "Jack-"
"Aww, Daniel, Jonas knows I'm kidding, don't ya Jonas?"
Jonas smiled and turned to face him," Hi sir."
Colonel O'Neill walked into the office. "Hi! So the real question is, is working on this more fun than dealing with stuck up politicians?"
Jonas laughed. "It defiantly has more of an incentive, sir."
He pondered that for a second. "That's a polite way of saying it's more fun."
"Jack, as much as I would love to have this conversation continue, is there a reason why you're here?" Daniel asked with annoyance.
"Testy today aren't we? I'm not here to bother, just seeing what you two translators are up to. Find anything out yet?"
"Not really." Jonas began.
"Teal'c mentioned that you think this thing is similar to that device we found around a year ago."
"The one that supposedly supported the Bible? I had been wondering that but I wasn't a hundred percent sure." Daniel stated.
"So you agree that it might be?" Jonas asked.
"Well in all honesty Jonas you would know more about that than I would. You dealt with the device. That was one of the reasons I wanted Sam to ask you to come here. I figured you would be able to discern which it was."
"It's similar, I wouldn't say it defiantly is just yet, but it seems to be."
"Well, I'll let the two of you go ahead and do whatever it is you do. When you find something out let me know. I'm free." He paused." Have fun." He said and walked away.
Jonas watched Colonel O'Neill leave, "Some things never change."
Daniel laughed," Yes, Jack is Jack."
Jonas thought for a moment. "Daniel, if you think that this is similar to that device that supposedly mentioned the Bible is it even worth working on? I mean what value would it have against Anubis?"
"Probably none, but we have no way of knowing that they are even connected. The technology could just be similar. I mean it says that it leads to a great power source. Now the Bible might contain things that even the Ancients could have found interesting but it doesn't contain power, especially in the sense of defeating a Goa'uld. Personally I think this is something different, similarities as you said, but altogether different."
"Where are the notes you took from the message?"
"Right here," he handed Jonas a notebook," But it's very jumbled. Just bits and pieces that I was able to get and write down quickly. I haven't really been able to translate it because it's just on the sounds not on the exact spellings."
Jonas looked over what Daniel handed him. He could see why Daniel was frustrated. When you had the words in front of you it was easier to know what you were doing. But when it all was just little pieces it was incredibly difficult. He noticed two lines that Daniel had underlined. However Jonas couldn't make out the writing next to it.
"What does this say?"
Daniel came over to him." Those words seemed familiar to me. As I did some research it looks like it recaps about the plague that whipped out mankind. But that was just what I was able to piece together. It's not exact."
"Why would it mention about the plague. I mean it has nothing to do with anything else you've translated."
"You might have just answered your own question: I haven't translated it yet."
Jonas lowered his head in embarrassment. "Sorry, I guess I just haven't done this in a while."
"Plus you have stuff on your mind." Daniel looked at his desk." So I have coffee, you have tea. Let's get to work."-
Later that day found Daniel racing to General Hammond's office and Jonas racing to the infirmary. The two of them had continued the basic translation and had figured out the basic part of the beginning of the holographic message. The disease that had affected the SG team and was affecting Amy was intentional. What was supposed to be a protection from enemies reaching the tablet had been miscalculated, and the spores to a deadly disease had been released. But what sent Jonas and Daniel racing was the fact that if their translating had been correct, this was the same disease that had wiped out all humanity thousands of years before.
Note: Well how was it? Did I get the characters okay? Let me know what you think!
