Sometimes Miracles Happen
By Ans4Christ
Exhuasted and bewildered SG-1 finally stepped through the stargate back home. Though given the option to refresh for a few moments they chose for an immediate meeting with General Hammond. Colonel O'Neil quickly explained everything that had happened, and Daniel explained the findings within the tablet, and the map that was brought back.
"So you're saying Dr. Jackson, that you think this map leads to the lost city?"
"Well, we're not exactly sure as to where it leads to yet sir, but it has to point us in the right direction."
"It could even be clues to other planets, that will lead us there." Jonas suggested.
"How do you mean?" Hammond asked.
"Well, from working with Ancient technology, especially of late, I've come to realize that they don't like to tell you outright where things are. They want you to look for it. It tests you to see if you're worthy of it. I don't want to speak for the rest of the team but I certiantly feel as though I've been tested in everyway the past few days, just to see whether or not I should possess this information. Which though it was very trying, it is also very exciting because whatever this map contains, whatever this weapon is, it is something so incredibly amazing that the Ancients went to all of this trouble to ensure that it did not fall into the wrong hands."
"I have to agree with Jonas sir. I've been studing Ancient technolgy for years, and I would have to say that we are touching upon something very powerful, perhaps more powerful then we can even realize. The Ancients went to such a great length to protect this information from their enemies, whatever this leads to may vary well bring destruction upon all whom oppose it's power. I can't even explain why I feel this way. Being in the presence of the pillars, it just gave this feeling. I can't explain it." Sam stuttered.
"You're not alone in that feeling Sam. Something was there General Hammond. I can't explain what either. Perhaps someone of the Ancients remained behind to be watching us, I don't know. But I totally agree with Sam, and Jonas, this is powerful. We may have the tools now to defeat Anubis. That's all we've really wanted." Daniel stated.
"I would have to disagree Daniel Jackson." Teal'c interjected. "The ultimate purpose of the SGC has been to see the downfall of the Gou'ld. I would have to say whatever this weapon is and whereever this weapon may be, I feel the downfall of the Gou'ld will coincide with its finding."
General Hammond stared at them all with a look of surprise, and yet he seemed pleased with their feelings. His eyes landing on O'Neill. "Well Colonel, anything you care to add about this issue?"
"Well sir, we've seen a lot of weird things in our missions. Would I say this one was the weirdest. I honestly don't know. But I do think it is the Ancients, and I do agree it has to be something important. I don't think anyone would go to all the trouble that it appears the Ancients have gone to if it wasn't for something of great value. I'm glad that we went, and I'm glad that it's over." O'Neil said, receiving nods of agreement from the rest of the team.
"On that note team, good job, and you're all dismissed." Everyone got up to leave. "Mr. Quinn, if you could stay for a moment."
Jonas sat back in his seat nervously. He waited as General Hammond saw that everyone had left the briefing room. He settled in his chair and leaned forward on the table towards Jonas. "Jonas, first thing I want to say is how glad I am to of had you working with us on this. I know that you have other obligations, and I just wanted to say that I know how valuable you were to this mission and to helping SG-1 with these findings. It will not go unnoticed to you, or to your government. I would like to send a gift back to Kelowna, saying thank you for letting you stay here as long as they did."
"I didn't really give them a choice in that sir." Jonas stated.
Hammond smiled, "Be that as it may, I still wish to be cordial to them. I will leave it to your guidance as to what you wish to take back with you. I trust you and your judgement." He paused. "I also feel compelled to tell you that there have been some new developments with Amy. I think you should head straight to the infirmary and talk with Dr. Fraiser."
Jonas froze, he didn't know if he could move or speak. "Is it good or bad?" He muttered.
Hammond locked eyes with Jonas, "I think you need to talk to Dr. Fraiser, son."
Jonas nodded his head, "Okay. Thank you, sir." Jonas got out of his chair and headed for the infirmary, not sure what was going to happen. But knowing somehow that everything would work out. He just had to have the faith to believe.
