THE HERE AND NOW
THE HERE AND NOW
Chapter 38
"INTERVENTION"
Daniel Jackson was always a pain and that jack O'Neill knew all to well, but despite knowing this, the man had come quite close to him in the past years and as such had a right to be a pain; only this time he went beyond being a paint and jump to being right down insane. It seem that the archeologist/linguist had a little talk with the resident jaffa and was convince that now would be the right time to get every one together and finally had an all out discussion with Samantha carter another one of jack is little pains. Jack of course knew that tealc had had something to do with this little meeting but after what he had done to the jaffa he had no right to be out raged.
What bothered jack was the fact that he had found out about this little meeting from Hailey. it seem that his so call family were planning to spring this on him; so jack did the only thing he could do and demoted them from being his family to just plain friends, friends he could handle family he couldn't and right now he needed to handle his friends. Hailey had blurted out the little meeting or reunion by accident, it seem that the little sparkplug didn't know that it was being kept a secret hence why she had asked him about it.
"Your not angry are you sir?"
Jack smiled and shock his head no, he was not angry he was furious, of all the stupid things that his friends could do they tried to pulled something like this with him, it was right down insane. They should know him better and how quickly he lost his patience or for that matter how delicate, the subject of "her" was to his ears. Closing his eyes he takes in deep breaths, the woman sitting right in front of him just tries to remain calm and tell herself that she had nothing to worry about after all she didn't do any thing wrong.
"I'm not angry Hailey, just a bit upset is all"
The young woman looked at the throbbing vein in his head and smiled nervously, if this was him not being mad she would hate to see him lose his temper.
"Ah sir can you please not tell them I told you?"
"Don't worry captain I won't, but as for now if you could excuse me I have a little archeologist I have to strangle"
The captain smiled and looked on as the general exited his office just as Walter walked in with a stack of files, he looked at her and raised an eyebrow, she smiles in return and shakes her head.
"Don't ask"
Walter nodded and proceeded to drop the files on the general is desk, the mood the young captain was in told him that what ever had happened had upset the general a great deal and when he was in one of his moods it was better to avoid him all together. Hailey for the most part was just wondering what the hell had gotten into her friends, sure she knew that the general and Sam needed to talk but to go about it like this, well that was just down right wrong. The general was like a father to her and she didn't like to see him get set up. When she had first gotten to the sgc and had been given the position with sg-1 many of the other officers were not only rude to her but did every thing they could to show her just how much of an outsider she really was.
Those first years were the hardest she had to face and even though sgc-1 had welcomed her with open arms and always looked out for her there was only so much that they could do. they were not there every moment to stick up for her and when that happened she was always reminded that she was nothing but a troublesome kid, hell she hated it to admit it but if it wasn't for the general she would have quit a long time ago. He had taken it upon himself to cheer her up when she was down and was always there for her if she needed some one to talk too. Hailey knew that he felt guilty for bringing her in so young hence why he took it as his personal mission to see that she was all right every chance he got.
So it was no wonder that they had formed a very close relationship. As a young kid she never really had much of a family structure hence why she was shipped to military school as soon as possible; her real father was a first grade asshole who just always saw her as the thing that ruined his life. Oh, she was well aware that she was an unwanted child, and knew that both her parents saw her as trouble and a waste of money. So when Sam had taken an interest in her she had found out what it was like to be around nice decent folk and when she had meet the general she had found out what a true father could be like.
"Hey, why the rush?"
She was so deep in thought that she hadn't spotted the recently transferred col. Mitchell, the guy was supposed to be some kind of hero or something, but as far as she could tell he had done nothing extraordinary. Every pilot on that mission had risked his or her life for the sake of protecting sg-1 so she had no real respect for a guy who had been shut down for doing his job in an air fight.
"Things to do people to see"
Mitchell looked at her and realized who she was; the young captain had the record for being the youngest officer ever given a field duty and not just any field duty but one with the flag team.
"You're Hailey, captain of sg-1 right"
"That would be me"
She hated to be rude to the man but she had heard that he had a bad habit of always wearing out his welcome, and that he was to hyper for his own good, or that he got exited by the slightest things. Now that he was standing in front of the man, she could see why he had gotten that reputation. He had seen her rushing out of the general is office and yet here he was blocking her way smiling like a kid who just found his lost puppy, it was disturbing and she was beginning to see why he had gotten his reputation.
"I'm sorry to bother you like this but do you know were General O'Neill is?"
"No"
She made a side step and tried to move on but he sidestepped right along side her blocking her way.
"I'm sorry captain but I really need to find General O'Neill"
His tone had changed from friendly to some what authoritative and she didn't like it one bit, sure he might out ranked her but he wasn't her commanding officer and she was off duty. She had only come in to ask the general when the get together was, she didn't need this especially not from some one who had just transferred in.
"Sorry but I can't help you, I have stuff to do on my own"
"So it's true what they say? That sg-1 follows there own rules"
"No we just don't follow the rules when were off duty or didn't you notice my getup?"
He glanced at her once over and raised an eyebrow, she was quite the looker, Hailey is mild annoyance turned to anger when she saw him checking her out, this creep had crossed the line from annoyance to right down bothersome.
"I noticed I just needed help finding the general"
"Look why don't you try Walter, small bald fellow with glasses, he should help you out with what ever you need col."
"Oh thank you and I look forward to working with you"
He side stepped allowing her to get trough only this time his words had frozen her, she glanced at him and raised an inquisitive eyebrow, what the hell did he meant working with her? Was he a military egghead?"
"What was that?"
"Oh I am transferring in to sg-1"
She tried not to smile but she couldn't help herself, ever since she had been assigned with sg-1 not one colonel had been given command of the unit. jack didn't trust any one else with his "kids" he had placed tealc In charged for a reason and no matter what the pentagon said or what the joint chief wanted he had never once placed his team in the hands of another colonel. When the military had screamed at him to place some one from the air force in charged jack simply stated that there was no colonel out there that had tealc is experience, so they had given up and sg-1 had remained a three-man team.
"Good luck with that"
She smiled and walked away from a very concern colonel he had seen how she had reacted and knew that it was not a good sing. He had been told that he would be given any command of his choosing and when he had picked sg-1 one they had laughed at him, telling him that there was no way he was going to achieve that, not while O'Neill was in charge.
(((((DANIEL)))))
Tealc looked at his friend and frowned, the archeologist was inside a weapons is locker, it seem that O'Neill had found out about there little plan and had managed to trap the archeologist. Luckily, tealc had been walking by and heard the cries of help coming from the locker, when he had opened it and found Daniel he knew exactly what had happened.
"He found out"
"Indeed"
Daniel was furious, he had clearly told every one to keep it on the down low, to just keep it amongst themselves, and more importantly, to not tell jack what was going on. That was the whole point of the gathering to catch jack by surprised and then be there for him when he exploded in a mass of repressed anger or something like that. Closing his eyes, he wondered if he was spending way to much time with Janet.
"You know he won't come now right?"
"He will come"
"Oh? Your going to drag him in by his heels are ya?"
"No, I will simply tell Janet"
Daniel is frowned turned upside down, he smiled a million dollar smiled and cleared his throat; he knew that once Janet learned of what jack had done she would fix every thing. Hell she might even get him to come to there little get together willingly; Janet had a habit of beating the odds and when jack was involve she always came out the winner in there little arguments.
"Tealc my man have I told you how smart you are"
"No you have not"
"Well you are my friend, you are"
The jaffa smiled and together alongside Daniel the two headed off into the cafeteria to get some coffee, sure they were still worried about what might happened and of all the ramification that the gathering could have but they needed to do it for the grater good. Fences had been mended on all fronts and the only one remaining was jack, both Daniel and tealc knew that Sam would never mount enough courage to face jack alone, or if she did, she would be destroyed by him. Jack had a nasty habit or knowing how to push people away or hurting them with only glancing at them imagine what he could do with words.
That is why they had decided to do this, this was not only to help those two work trough what they had gone trough; but to finally bring back Sam into the fold and officially welcome her back to the S.G.A. While also on a more personal basis, they would be telling her that despite every thing that had happened they were going to give her a chance to get close to them once more, so they needed this little get together to go off with out a hitch and hopefully they would all get something from it.
(((((JANET)))))
If some one would have told Janet that, she would be in a fight with a woman that was the same size as her she would have laughed at there faces. there was only another woman with her size on base and both of them got along just fine, or at least they did up until this point were Hailey was asking in a not to pleasant tone to be told what there little plan was. She might have not been around when all the stuff with Sam went down but she had seen the aftermath, it was not a pleasant thing to watch.
As for Janet the petite doctor saw right trough Hailey and noticed that she was not angry at being left out of the plan, she was angry because they had done this with out telling jack. Janet had always known that the young officer saw jack as a type of father figure but until now, she realized just how much Hailey cared for the general.
"It was not a plan as it were, we were going to have a get together to just laid things out in the open"
"But why not tell him? You know how the general is"
Janet was all to aware, still she knew that having every one together at one place at one time would ease the blow to him and perhaps allow him to open up more easily; because if there was one thing that man did not do was open up. The little get together was also supposed to bring them back together and give Sam an opening to talk to jack, hell the whole point of this little get together was so that those two could at least open up a dialogue, a serious one; not one were jack pretended to not have a problem with Sam being back.
"I guess we did the wrong thing for the right reasons and now that he found out about it"
Both changed worried glances, they knew how the general acted when he didn't want to do something but when his friends went as far as to lie to him in order to get him to do what he didn't want to do well that was a whole different story. Talking to jack or convincing him of doing any thing was like pulling teeth, it was a hard and complicated process, one which usually worked out fine if you took your time and deal with it properly unfortunately this was jack; nothing was easy when it came to him. Sam was no better; she was avoiding him as much as he was.
"Did you tell Sam?"
"We did and she didn't like the idea"
"So this get together was supposed to clear every thing up before the big mission?"
"That was the plan"
Hailey groaned, that was a stupid plan, the general didn't need another thing to worry about, not when the Atlantis team was in the middle of a losing war and he had to meet with some weird race for god knows what reasons and now adding this to the plate was bound to make the general lose it. Janet could see the young captain shaking her head in frustration an now that she thought about it she had to admit that it was pretty naïve of there part to think that it would be as easy as a big get together. Truth be told she had never been a big fan of the idea but when tealc had backed up Daniel, well it didn't sound as bad.
"I may not know what the history between Sam and jack is but I know that the general doesn't need this right now"
"Your right but it has to be dealt with"
"But not by us, we don't need to meddle"
Janet had to agree with her, they were both grown up and didn't need them to get them together to talk, if any thing they should stir clear of the whole mess and let them work it out, but it was hard when you knew how much history the two shared. Jack and Sam were so stupid when it came down to personal feelings and so much so that Janet was sure neither of them would breach the subject. It was hard for them to just stand watch as there friends hurt each other over and over again but this time she knew that, that is what needed to be done, Hailey was right, by them interfering they could cause more problems for all of them.
"I guess your right"
Hailey could see the dejected and worried look on the petite doctor and frowned, she did not want to damp the doctor is spirits.
"I known is hard and I admit that I might not known the general for as long as you guys have but maybe that's why I see things differently you know"
Janet smiled and nodded it was true Hailey had not seen all the angst the two had gone trough over the years, she hadn't been there when jack was lost and Sam almost killed herself trying to bring him back, or how when Sam was lost jack despaired at the thought of never seeing her again. It was such events that made them act and tried to intervene, they just wanted there friends to stop hurting one another. The thing that they were tired of was watching those two hurt one another whether it was intentional or un intentional they still hurt one another one way or another and they were always there to see how it affected them.
They were always there and had always hated the fact that there was nothing they could do, but now a couple of years later when the opportunity had presented itself to do something and help them they had all jumped at the chance and were wrong for doing so. Hailey was right they didn't need to meddle; they just needed to do what they always did sit back and pick up the pieces of the after math.
"It's kind of hard Hailey we been trough so much together"
"I know you want what's best for your friends but some times"
"You just have to hope things work out?"
"Something like that"
"When did you become so wise?"
"When I started hanging out with you folk"
Janet smiled and they continued to chat about there little get together all the while with out realizing that Sam had heard what they had talked about, the blond had reached Janet is door and was about to ask her to lunch when she had heard them talking. At first she was about to walk away and just let them work things out on there own but when she heard Hailey mention the general her body completely froze, she just remained glued to the spot and listened to there conversation, now how ever she didn't know if she should have listened in.
She had heard what they had said about them and despite being a bit angry with the two for discussing something that was none of there business she couldn't help but feel that they were right. She had noticed the way jack treated her and it was nothing more than him being polite while at the same time keeping her at a safe distance, but she had refused to believe it. She just wanted it to be true. She had just wanted things to be normal with them, that he had accepted her back and that was that, but the truth was that she had closed herself to the possibility that jack didn't want her back, that she was better off staying away.
(((((JACK)))))
Arriving at his office jack looked at the young man sitting outside of his office waiting for him apparently, he raised an eyebrow when he saw the manila folder on his hands and the all too nervous movement of his feet, this guy was transferring in. Clearing his throat to get the soldiers is attention had the desired effect he wanted; the young man had immediately straightened himself up stood up and saluted him.
"At ease col."
"General O'Neill sir, I was I am col. Mitchell and I was"
"Come let's talk in my office"
"Ah yes sir"
Col. Mitchell the so call hero, he had heard he had been shut down in the Antarctica battle and he was one of the men who saved there asses, but to be called a hero it was a bit much. Sitting down in his comfortable chair, he signals the young colonel to do the same and wonders what type of officer he is.
"So which team do you wish to transfer too?"
"Sg-1 sir"
The man seem exited and it bothered jack, it seem that he had taken a liking to being in the battlefield or to be called a hero, neither one was a good thing. If he enjoyed the trilled of battle then that was dangerous, no one should enjoy fighting not when it could be avoided and if he wanted to be a hero then it was much worse, either way he was in it for the wrong reasons. The way he was looking at him told jack that the colonel was just in it for the recognition of being on sg-1, he was a fan of them as is it were and just like any other little fan boy he was trying to emulate them.
"I'm sorry but I can't place you on sg-1 or any other s.g teams"
The reaction the colonel gave him was just what jack was expecting of him, Mitchell was shocked at the fact that he wasn't even going to be allowed to join any other team, but jack had a good reason. Mitchell was in it for the glory, if he would have been a bit more like Sheppard then he would have gotten the job, not as leader mind you but as the forth in sg-1, unfortunately he was not Sheppard.
"What why!?"
"You want to join sg-1 for the wrong reasons"
"I want to join sg-1 because they are the best sir"
"37 people have applied to join sg-1 all of them denied"
"W-what?"
"They have all been denied because they were like you; they wanted to join sg-1 with no prior experience in gate travel, with limited field experience"
"But sir!"
"Why not apply to other s.g teams?"
The question floored him and jack smiled, just as he had thought this guy was just another one in the line of many that were trying to get some glory by being on sg-1. Mitchell looked at the general and frowned, this was the man that every one respected and admired. So why was it that he was hating him right now?
"That's not fair sir, I worked hard to get to this point"
"So why are you so against working that much harder to get into sg-1? You have almost no field experience what so ever and no gate experience to speak off so you tell me why should I let you join sg-1?"
Mitchell frowned and shock his head, if you put it like that it did seem that he was trying to get a free pass at becoming the forth in sg-1 one.
"You have to earn the spot like any other man or women in this base, just because some one gave you the option of choosing what ever post you wanted doesn't give you the right to be on that post, every body works hard to get were they are at son, this should be no different"
"Yes sir"
"Very well dismissed"
"Ah sir I would still like to try and be part of the sga"
"That can be arranged"
Not in command of course but he would at least get to go through the gate and fortunately would take him up on his offer to work his way to the top, jack smiled maybe the kid did have what it took to be on sg-1 one but he would have to work for the job. When the young colonel left jack leaned back on his chair and smiled today wasn't that bad, he had gotten a possible diamond in the rough with this new colonel guy and had trapped Daniel in a weapons locker, so far every thing was peachy.
"Sir sg-5 just brought in the nox and Reetou ambassadors sir"
"Walter you have the worst timing!"
"I know Sir I known"
(((((SAMANTHA)))))
She didn't know what to think, she had just found out that her friends were being sneaky and planning behind there back, sure they were trying to help her out or that is what they believed they were doing. Taking a deep breath, she wonders what jack had done to Daniela and the others when he had found out, yet as amusing as the thought was she couldn't help but feel concern about jack and her relationship. They were so close once and now he seem to only tolerate her and deal with her out of necessity, they had wanted her back, the government wanted her back not them, not him, with out warning she felt hot tear sliding down her face.
This was something she wasn't ready to face, something she had not wanted to think off to just forget about him and deal with the situation when the time came and now that the time had come, she had found that it was a lot harder to take in than what she had originally believed it to be. Jack O'Neill was one of her closest friends, he had always been there no matter what she circumstances were or what the problem was she always knew that he would stand by her side. But that was a long time ago, a time when she knew that he loved her and that she loved him.
"Sam? You ok?"
Hailey had come in to the lab to get her laptop and leave for the day, she had never expected to see Samantha carter crying and sobbing like a small child. When she had fist seen her she had been too surprised and had just stood in the doorway not knowing what to do, not once had she seen this side of such a strong woman and it surprised and scare the living day light out of her. Sam for the most part just turned away from her and shakes her head; this was not how she wanted to be found, especially not by some one like Hailey who knew what was wrong with her.
"I…I"
No words formed in her mouth, he brain had stopped working the minute she had realized jack was being jack, she had realized that despite her being okay with jack is reaction she was still hurt, hell it hurt more than any thing she had ever felt before. To know that some one like jack would give up on her was a hard pill to swallow, the man had once been ready to give up his life for her and now he just tolerated her presence, Hailey noticing the pain in the woman is eyes smiled slightly and walked towards her. Placing her hand behind Sam is back she gently offered her support and tried to help her out.
"This is about the general?"
"I heard you and Janet talking"
Hailey smile and nodded, so that was it. She smiled at Sam and took a deep breath, how in the world was she going to help the woman out when she had no idea what had gotten her upset in the first place. Oh sure she might have an idea of what the problem was but the way Sam was right now she didn't know if she should even pry into what she knew of both jack and Sam is relationship.
"If it's about the get together I am sure that…"
"N-no I-it's not about that, I just realized that the general, that jack…that jack had no say in whether I should return or not"
"I am not sure if that is really the problem, you're here now and that is all that counts right?"
Sam shakes her head, no that not what counts, she had believe that jack knew that he had been involved in her return, that some how he had had a hand in her returning to the s.g.a but that was a lie she had told herself. She had seen the surprised in the generals is face when she saw him at the school, she should have known back then but she had hidden from the truth in order to protect herself from more hurt.
"No that…"
"No, that is all that matters, for whatever the reasons you are here and now and you have worked hard to get back the friendships that you lost so why now? Why give up now that you're so close to finally be on good terms with them?"
"I… I don't know I am just"
"Afraid?"
She could tell just by looking at Sam that she had hit the nail in the head, all this was about a silver hair man that refused to be vulnerable again, then again, she knew that jack was just as complex as Samantha was. He had opened himself up to love again and all it had brought him was sadness, sorrow, and all because the woman…because Sam…she didn't know what had happened.
"This is all a mess you know, I left thinking that maybe just maybe I could be happy that I deserve some god damned happiness in my life and all it brought was pain and suffering to those people I knew and eventually to myself"
"W-what went wrong?"
"I choose wrong, I settled for a man whom I like instead of going for the man that I loved"
"Ah…"
Samantha Carter was in love with General O'Neill and it was as simple as that.
((((((((((O'Neill)))))))))
The delegation that had come trough was not a big one, just one nox and one Reetou enough for him to not worry about base security and such or for that matter have an overwhelming sense of doom leering at him from the shadows. So here he was one little human seated before two mighty alien races that for all intents and purpose could squish them like bugs if they wanted to, but they had chosen to ally themselves to them instead of conquering them, for that he was grateful and some what worried. You see it was he that had made them see the potential in humans, it was he that had impressed them and had taught them that being human was not as bleak, as they had first believed; he showed them that humans had potential.
Lia of the nox, was very please with the human, he had first approached them with an attitude that left little to the imagination, he was very open and clear on what he was. Jack O'Neill, the warrior the man who would defend those who could not do so themselves and what did he asked in return? Nothing, such a worthy trade in some one so violent was an oddity that they had found quite interesting.
"Lia always a pleasure"
"I am also please to see you"
"Now if you could point me to little old sabath?"
The small nox giggled at how jack referred to one of the most powerful Reetou in existence, sabath was by no means small or old and yet jack always managed to call him something different when they meet.
"(Right behind you silver head)"
"Silver head?"
Sabath of the Reetou union was some one who knew jack very well, he knew more about jack than any other race out there, including the asgard, sure the little grey aliens knew about O'Neill is genetic abilities and such but they did not know the man. Sabath had been sent on a mission to observe the humans and assess there potential as allies, when he had first arrived on base he had been a little surprised that the man known as O'Neill was not the one in charge but that he simply followed orders. At first he had been disappointed but as time past on he realized that jack O'Neill was more than just a mere human, he had surpass all expectations.
He was a warrior and a team player; he knew when to rely on the strengths of his team and when to put his foot down. If there was ever a born leader than jack was that human, but what surprised him the most was the man is will to strive to protect a world that knew nothing of what he endure. To safe guard a planet is hard enough but to do so with out any one finding out that is a monumental task, and while it took an effort from every one on base, he wondered about jack because he had no incentive to remain on the base.
His file told his life story and it had been one filled with pain, this man had endure so much and yet he remain in battle, he kept fighting for the sake of others to see that others realize what he could never have. He had seen the man broken and had seen him rise up from shattered remains as if nothing had happened, his will alone was proof that he was worthy of being feared and respected trough out the galaxy.
"He has been trying to come up with something to call you"
Lia explained and jack grinned, it seems he was rubbing off on aliens, he wondered if Hammond or any of the other representatives from the white house would have a problem with that.
"I see, well I do have silver hair so I approve"
"You better"
The spider like creature laughed and jack shivered, he was never going to get use to that laughter, it was a cross between a hyena and the clicking sounds insects made, horrifying wouldn't even begin to describe what he felt when he heard that horrible noise.
"Ah glad you approve, now if you could put your v.a we can get this meeting started"
"Ah you're no fun"
Lia found herself once again giggling at the situation, a hundred year old Reetou was bantering like a small child with a fifty something human, she gave jack a slight smile and wondered if the situation would be the same when he meet with the furlings. Jack had a way of changing the different species he meets.
"I would like to begin preparing you on how to approach the furlings, while sabath here will teach you how to show that you are indeed a high level warrior"
"Come again?"
He looked at the woman as if she were crazy, what on the world did she mean teach him how to show that he was a high-level warrior? Wasn't this supposed to be one of those boring meetings were he showed up with some boring people and discussed treaty arrangements?
"Unlike other meetings with other races the furlings are a warrior race, much like the jaffa they have codes of honor that need to be followed less you want to offend?"
"No…I just what do I need to do?"
"List the battles you have been in, the warriors you have killed and so on"
"Right…"
Lia and sabath frowned at the worried look on the general is face, it was clear that he didn't like this one bit and neither did they, but it had to be done or else O'Neill is pitiful human built would not impress them one bit.
"This is quite the serious matter O'Neill"
Lia is use of his last name told jack every thing he needed to know, this was serious, if he didn't act, the way they wanted them to act then things could go wrong very fast.
"Ok, I get were your coming from and I have some small semblance of what your are talking about in my head but as you know I can't choose what I want to know"
"We know of your handicap, hence why we are here"
Sabath took a deep breath and shakes his head, this man should not be put in this kind of situation, his mind is already stretched to its limits and despite him being one of the most brilliant minds out there, it is not by choice. The third download that he had to endure was done as a desperate attempt at saving not only the earth but also the whole universe itself. Now his mind was fractured and things came and went as they pleased, it was as if he had no control over what he wanted to do or say and in the worst of moments, he drifted off and lost himself in one of his daytime drifts.
"T-thank you guys I appreciate this"
Lia smiled a sad smiled, standing up from her chair she walks over to were jack was sitting and placed a hand on his shoulder, she could feel the hurt radiating off the man and it made her sad to know that he had one more mission to attend too. O'Neill is mind was like a puzzle it was always trying to find new things to solve and even tough most of the time he kept the ancient is knowledge away he couldn't help but snap into ancient mode whenever a problem was presented to him, his other ancient abilities were a mystery even to the Asgard.
It was as if he did things in automatic as if O'Neill switched off and the ancient is knowledge took over him, making him almost a drone just fixing every thing on sight, but fortunately, it only happened when a complex problem was presented to him. It was speculated that as time passed his brain grew a costume to the knowledge store within it, as to what would happened to the man when the knowledge was all assimilated none of them knew.
"You are most welcome O'Neill"
Lia smile and they began to work on what he would be required to do.

v.a: Visual apparatus
A special thanks to RoczaDeb I have been the site you recommended and it solves many problems I have with the spelling of the aliens, and names and stuff like that. Once again thank you and by next chappy I will try to put it to good use. I did put it trough its first test and behold the retuu are now correctly named Reetou.
Untill next time.
