Chapter thirteen
Sam went to her lab and managed to disable the device then she took it to the infirmary and put it back into the Senator's pocket. Then she gave Janet the nod as she walked out and went to get ready herself. Jacob and Daniel returned back to his lab and saw what Jack had done and read what Jack had written down.
"Jacob, look at this!" He passed Jacob his pad and Jacob read it then looked at Daniel.
"This are the instructions on how to power up the device!"
"I know. Come on, we have work to do!" They got things sorted out before leaving.
Sam walked into one of the storage rooms after she found out where Jack was. He asked Sam for one of her generators and some other equipment, so she went to get them and take them to the gate room.
Fifteen minutes later, they all were walking up the ramp and through the gate to the other side where there was a cargo ship. Then the gate shut down. They put everything on the ship and were just about to leave.
"Sam, I'm going to go and activate the weapon!"
"Dad!" Sam was shocked with what she heard.
"Don't worry, if everything works out, I'll head to the alpha site till I hear from you." Then he showed her the cloaking device.
"Ok, good luck!"
"Thanks!" Then they hugged.
"See you when you return."
"Ok, dad." Then the others said good bye before they got on the ship and left.
Jacob walked over to the DHD and dialled a planet. He said his good bye to Bra'tac before walking up the steps and through, then the gate shut down. Then he dialled the planet in question walked up the steps and cloaked himself before walking through it, then it shut down.
He stood there when he stepped through when the Jaffa guards looked and nothing happened then the gate shut down which they thought was odd. Then they went back to do their thing.
Jacob walked around them and headed to the mountain and walked up to where the control panel was then he uncloaked himself and pulled out Jack's instructions. H e followed them step-by-step till he heard humming coming from behind him.
He pushed each square button then he pushed the last one then there was a shock wave that came from the device which knocked him and all the Jaffa off their feet.
When Jacob stood up, he followed the instructions to turn it off. Then he left and headed to the stargate. He dialled a different planet and walked up the steps and through till he got to the other side, then the gate shut down.
Then he dialled the alpha site and pulled out his GDO and pushed the code number. Then he walked up the steps and through to the other side and then it shut down.
He could see that they were on emergency lights, so he asked one of the airmen what happened, then he went to find the CO. Jacob knew all he could do was wait for Sam to call.
Jack and Sam were sitting on the floor talking while Teal'c and Daniel were up front.
"Sam, what would you like to do when all of this is over?"
"I don't know Jack, first things first, ok?"
"Ok. I was thinking, how about I take you to Hawaii for our honeymoon?"
"That would be nice, but we can talk about it later, but I was thinking your cabin." Jack smiled.
"Now that would be great" he said smiling at her then he gave her a kiss just as Daniel walked in.
"Oops, sorry!" They pulled apart and turned to Daniel.
"Daniel, you never change." Sam giggled.
"What's up?" She said.
"Teal'c said it's going to take five days to reach the planet." Jack and Sam looked at each other.
"We need to go faster."
He gave Sam a quick kiss before getting up and walking to the engine room. She stood up and followed Jack. When she walked in, she was shocked and amazed to see him move crystals around, then he got a zat out and fired it once. Then they heard the humming getting louder. He looked at Sam and could see the sad look on her face. He walked up to her.
"Everything is going to be ok!"
"I hope so, Jack."
He pulled her into a hug then Daniel showed up and saw Jack looking at him. Daniel tapped his watch and showed three fingers. Then he mouthed 'three hours'. Jack gave him a slight nod then he turned around and walked back up front.
When they pulled apart, he gave her a kiss then they walked back to the next room where they sat down with Jack's arm wrapped around her shoulder as she leaned against him.
They talked and Sam noticed that he was starting to speak ancient, so she knew that there wasn't much time for him. So, she was going to spend as much time as she could with him, just in case he didn't make it.
After SG1 and Jacob left, Dr. Weir went to find out what was going on, when she saw Colonel Dixon walking towards her.
"Colonel, what's going on?"
"Ma'am?"
"Major Carter told me about the Trust trying to take over the SGC."
"This way!"
They went down to Sam's lab and walked in. He turned one of the computers on and put is his password. Then he brought up the complex and showed it to her.
He typed in so the dots showed up for where the exits and shafts were. He told her where the trust was and which groups had been taken out.
When he finished telling her, a message appeared so they read it. It was instructions from Sam. Once he had the instructions, a timer showed up. When it returned to zero, the complex showed up again.
"Ok, well, you carry on!"
"Yes ma'am!" He typed away then closed the laptop down.
"How many have been tranquillised so far?"
"Two hundred and forty!"
"Ok, you better get back, and good luck!"
"Yes ma'am!" They went their separate directions.
When Dr. Weir returned to the control room to see how things were, the gate started spinning and the wormhole was formed.
"The iris is not closing!" Walter said, then he got on the Mic.
"Manual override!"
One of the airmen walked over to where the override switch was when the shock wave hit, knocking everyone off their feet and causing the computers to blow and the power to go out. Then the emergency lighting came on.
Walter got up and went to the phone for a cleanup crew and Siler to show up. Then he hung up and turned to Dr. Weir.
"Sergeant?"
"Right now we are vulnerable, and since we don't know what just came through the gate, we are in trouble!"
"Can you close the iris?" Then the gate shut down.
"I think so."
He walked down to the gate room and got the airmen to try it. When it worked, they had that, at least. When Walter returned, Siler showed up with three laptops. He connected them up to where the computers use to be.
"What this?"
"Major Carter's emergency back up, just in case something likes this happens while she is off world."
"Ok." A few minutes later every thing was connected up.
"I'll start replacing the monitors and some of the computer systems."
"Ok, do it!" He got started then the phone rang. Walter answered it, Dr. Weir looked at him.
"Sergeant?"
"It's NORAD, thirty plus ships just showed up!"
"You better get me the President!"
"Yes ma'am!"
Then he spoke to NORAD then hung up. Then he contacted the President and informed him about what had happened.
While that was going on, Jon took the jumper out into space. He moved it to where Anubis was. He moved the ship so he could see Anubis and a Jaffa.
Then he moved down to where the Air Force ships were, where he knew that they were going to be attracted. When he was ready, he turned the ZPM power source on and he built a shield over the ships. When it was done, he waited for four hours.
When Anubis' ship fired upon them, the weapon's fire hit the shields, which shocked everyone, not just on the ships but at the White House.
When it was over, all they could do was to wait. Then, Anubis tried it again, ending with the same results. Jon moved the ship up and out to space after shutting the shields down before leaving. When he reached outer space, all he could do was to wait and see what happened next.
When SG1 reached the planet in question, they could see that it was almost at the end of it's life. They were able to find a dome and energy readings so Daniel, Jack and Sam suited up and ringed down to the planet where Jack got the ZPM which was needed. Then they returned to the ship and headed back to Earth.
Sam watched Jack as he worked on the rings. She could see him rubbing his head every now and then, carry on working. Sam didn't like to see him suffering like this, but she knew that he would fight till the end. Sam watched him till Daniel showed up
"Jack, Anubis ships are in Earth's orbit and we will be reaching Earth in couple of minutes. "
Jack looked up at Daniel then he stood up and walked up to the front. Sam stood up and followed them. When she walked in, Jack and Teal'c swapped places and Jack was driving.
When they came out of hyperspace, they were down at the South Pole. Jack drove then stopped. He got up and Teal'c took his place. Jack walked back to the ring room and he activated the rings. They were making a humming noise at the same time they all heard,
"Sg1, this is Prometheus, we're here to cover your six!" Teal'c saw the ship and heard General Hammond.
"General Hammond, it's is good to hear from you!"
"You too, Teal'c. How's Jack?"
"Not good!"
"Understood!" Then the humming stopped.
Jack removed the clips on the rings and picked up the bag.
"Teal'c, we are ringing down," Sam said.
"There are death gliders heading this way!"
"Ok, as soon as we ring down, move out of the way!"
"Understood!" Then he pushed the buttons to ring them down.
"General Hammond, I would advise you to move Prometheus!"
"Copy that, Teal'c!"
Then they moved just as the X302s showed up and so did the death gliders. A few seconds later, there were hundreds of fireballs coming out of the hole ripping the death gliders to pieces. Then, most of them went in to hyperspace. Jon saw the fireballs hit all of Anubis' ships, blowing them to pieces. Then, it was over.
When SG1 were ringed down they followed Jack till he stopped,
"Dormata!"
"Sleep," Daniel said.
Then they walked over to where the chair was and Jack swapped the ZPM's. Then he sat in the chair and all the lights came on. Sam and Daniel watched Jack, then they heard a noise and turned to see ice melting and fireballs coming out of the ground and up the hole.
A few seconds later, it was over. They watched Jack as he concentrated, then the lights went out and Jack's eyes closed. Sam walked over to him.
"Jack?" he opened his eyes.
"Dormata!" Then Daniel walked over.
"That chamber might save his life Sam!"
"Help me!"
They helped Jack up and took him over to the chamber and put him in it. Then he leaned forward to give Sam a kiss, then he leaned back still looking into her eyes, then the chamber froze.
"Now what?"
"I don't know, Sam"
"This isn't Atlantis is it?"
"No, it's more of an outpost."
Fifteen minutes after Anubis' ships were blown to pieces and both Jon and Prometheus were still out in space, a ship showed up and it beeped.
"Open a channel!" Hammond said, then a face appeared.
"General Hammond, sorry I couldn't get here sooner." Hammond smiled.
"Thor, it's good to see you. You got our message?"
"Yes, I have O'Neill's, Major Carte's and Dr. Jackson's location."
"Can you save Jack?"
"Yes I can it, but it will take a few minutes to remove the knowledge from O'Neill."
"Understood! We will stay here since we have some repairs to do before returning back to the hanger."
"Understood! I'll let you know when I am done."
"I'll be waiting." Then the screen went blank.
Daniel and Sam were looking around when they were beamed aboard Thor's ship. When they looked around, they saw Jack in a chamber, then Thor showed up.
"Thor!" Sam said smiling.
"Major Carter, Dr. Jackson, sorry I couldn't get here sooner."
"Is everything ok?" Daniel asked.
"I was monitoring the human replicators. They figured out the time dilation and they were able to turn it off."
"So what happened?"
"They were distorted by an unknown energy wave."
"I think I know what caused the energy wave, Thor." He looked at Sam.
"Do you?"
"Yes I think so… Thor can you beam Daniel down to the gate room?"
"Yes, I can do that."
"Thanks!" Then she turned to Daniel.
"Call dad, he will be at the Alpha site if everything went to plan."
"Ok, how do I contact you?"
"Contact Prometheus."
"Ok." Then he was beamed down to the gate room.
"Thor, can you save what Jack remembered after the download right up to till he was frozen when you remove the ancient knowledge from him?"
"I don't know if it can be done, why do you ask?"
"Jack and I got married, I want him to remember our wedding, everything."
"I'll see what I can do."
"Thank you!" Thor started moving stones around while Sam was looking down at Jack.
When Daniel appeared in the gate room, he ran out and up to the control room to see the place in pieces.
"What happened?"
"Some kind of energy wave came through and blew up all the computers. We only have these laptops as back up till Major Carter can fix things."
"Ok, can you still dial out?"
"Yes."
"Good. dial the alpha site and find out if Jacob Carter is there. If so, ask him to come home, Sam wants to talk to him."
"Yes sir!"
The technician typed on the keyboard then the gate started spinning. At the same time Dr. Weir showed up and Daniel turned when he saw her.
"Dr Jackson, what's going on?"
"Dr. Weir, we're calling the Alpha site to see if Jacob is there. If so, he can come back home."
"Ok, where's the rest of your team?"
"Teal'c is down at Antarctica."
"Why is he there?"
"That is where the outpost is. Sam and Jack are on Thor's ship"
"Are you sure? Norad only detected one ship." Daniel smiled.
"I know, with the Asgard ships, we can't detect them unless we go out into space, then we can see them." Then the wormhole was formed.
"This is Stargate Command calling the Alpha site, come in Alpha site!" They all waited.
"This is Alpha site, Stargate Command."
"Is General Carter there?"
"Yes, he is." Daniel stepped forward.
"This is Dr. Jackson, can you tell Jacob Carter he can come home? Major Carter and Thor want to talk to him." Then they waited.
"Daniel, it's Jacob. I'm coming home as soon as the gate is shut down."
"Ok, Jacob." Then the gate shut down.
"Sergeant, as soon as Jacob arrives, have Prometheus send a message to Thor."
"Yes sir!"
Then the gate started spinning. Knowing it was the Alpha site, Daniel went down to the gate room when the wormhole was formed. He waited for few seconds then Jacob walked onto the ramp then walked down it till he was standing in front of Daniel.
"Daniel, how's Jack?"
"He will be back to himself in no time. At the moment, Thor's got him in a stasis chamber,"
"Ok" Then they were beamed up onto Thor's ship.
