Sometimes Miracles Happen
By Ans4Christ
Slowly, Jonas walked back to Daniel's office. His mind couldn't think. He felt as though he was handling too much. Amy was one issue, now Kelwona was another and the Ancient tablet was weighing heavily on him as well. Something wasn't right with that. Something was different and yet familiar all at the same time. He knew he had to find the answer, he knew it was the only way- to help save the universe, and to save Amy. He knew it was crazy but if the tablet somehow caused the disease wouldn't it provide the cure for it as well? And if it was the same disease that had destroyed the Ancients why would they risk exposing it again? Whatever was encoded in the tablet must be so powerful and important that they would be willing to risk anything to protect it. And yet- they wanted the information to be known by someone. Otherwise they would not have allowed it to survive. But what was it?
Immediately, the memory of the Ancient device from a year prior flashed into his mind. Wasn't that a similar circumstance: a device that had a weapon and was used because it needed to protect a secret? Jonas stopped in his tracks. What if the answer wasn't on the tablet? What if like the device you had to return to the initial power source? With the Ancient device they had been able to shut it off to understand it- perhaps there was a way to shut this off as well, without risk of illness.
All of a sudden everything made sense. The reason why Daniel and he had been unable to replay the holographic image wasn't because they couldn't find the right code- it was because the energy source had been drained from the tablet. The only way to replay the image was to recharge the battery, so to speak. And that meant only one thing- someone had to return to the planet and reconnect it to the pillars. Jonas knew what had to be done; he also knew the risk of such an adventure, Amy lying in the infirmary was proof of that, so the only question that remained was- would anyone let him do it?
"Absolutely not! It is completely out of the question!" General Hammond stated firmly.
"Sir, Please! This is the only way to find out what the tablet says." Jonas pleaded.
All of Sg-1 stood in General Hammond's office as Jonas' pleaded his idea. Convincing Daniel had been very difficult, but in the end even he had relented knowing that Jonas was right. The others had been hesitant but realized it was the only way. Communicating that to the General however was proving a challenge.
"Jonas, I understand why you are willing to risk this and I appreciate your willingness but I am not about to risk spreading this illness to the rest of this planet not to mention the risk of all of you getting killed."
"Sir, if we were to wear protective suits I have no doubt we'd be protected. It's not just because of Amy that I want to do this. This planet, this galaxy is in serious danger- perhaps from something as serious as when this plague was initially released. If we don't do something to stop Anubis now- we may forever lose the opportunity to do so. This may be our only chance."
"Sir," Colonel O'Neill stepped in, "I agree that this plan is beyond nuts- but what plan to save the world has ever been sane? Something needs to be done. I trust both Daniel and Jonas- if they say we need to do this than I say let's do it. No matter the risk."
"We've all ready lost one SG team." Hammond stated softly.
"No, disrespect intended sir, but if we don't find a way to stop Anubis, the SGC will be losing a lot more teams. How many are you willing to sacrifice until nothing can be done?" Jonas stated.
General Hammond looked at him," Being an ambassador has certainly increased your gumption son. "Hammond sighed," All right, it's against my wishes, but if you're all willing to accept the risks. Colonel, get your team ready, you leave in an hour."
"Yes, Sir." O'Neill said.
"Sir," Jonas jumped in," I request permission to go with SG-1."
Hammond looked from Jonas to the Colonel, the Colonel gave a nod and a small smile. Hammond nodded in agreement. "Permission granted. Suit up."
They all walked out of the office, Colonel O'Neill came up to Jonas and patted his shoulder," Just like old times Quinn, just like old times."
They were leaving in five minutes but there was one more thing Jonas had to do. He walked into the infirmary and into Amy's room. He walked to her bed and touched her forehead wiping her hair to the side, giving her a soft kiss.
"I won't come back until I've found a way to help you, Amy. That's a promise. No matter the risk, I'm gonna help you get well again." He whispered.
Well? Like it, hate it, not to sure yet? Let me know:)
