Chapter 9
The next day, Jack flew to Indiana to talk to Joe and his family while Sam was busy getting everything set up for the power change over. When it was done, the power was off for three seconds.
When it came back on, Sam checked to see if everything was working properly. When it was, she was happy. Then she went to the control room just as the gate started spinning. When the wormhole was formed and the iris closed,
"Who is it, Lieutenant?" Sam asked as she ran up the steps.
"Receiving IDC, it's Atlantis, Colonel." Sam sat as the iris opened.
"This is Colonel Carter of Stargate Command." Then a face appeared on the monitor screen.
"Colonel Carter."
"Dr Weir. I take it everything worked out satisfactorily?"
"Yes, thank you for the ships and extra drones, they helped."
"That is good news. I'll let General O'Neill know."
"The reason I called is we need more drones, we have five left."
"What about ships?"
"We need more of them also; we lost the four that you gave us."
"Casualties?"
"Five wounded, the Odyssey showed up in time to beam the four pilots off their ships before they exploded."
"That is good news. By when do you need the ships and drones?"
"Soon, just in case."
"Who are you sending through this time?"
"The same four as before."
"Ok, when will you be sending them?"
"Tomorrow, if that is ok."
"Yes, I'll be here. Is there any messages to pass on?"
"Just what I've told you."
"Alright, we'll talk to you tomorrow." Then the screen went blank and the gate shut down.
Sam did some typing and checked a couple of things before she returned to her lab for the rest of the day.
Later that afternoon, Jack walked into Sam's lab. She looked up and smiled. "How did it go?" she asked.
"They're moving here. Joe's looking forward to it."
"What about Christine and Andy?"
"Andy starts collage in couple of weeks and it's a good time for them to move."
"Oh?"
"Christine lost her job last week, her boss ended up bankrupt."
"So good timing then."
"Yeah, and Joe's business was going downhill since a new barber shop opened and is charging lower prices."
"Well he could always find a job here in Colorado Springs."
"I know I told him that. He's put his business is up for sale."
"Really? So when are they coming?"
"Monday, since that's the quietest day for Joe. I'll take the ship to pick them up, save them that money." Sam smiled.
"Good idea."
"Yeah, so is everything ok here?"
"Yep, we are now on ZPM power." Jack smiled.
"Cool, what else?"
"Tomorrow I'll go to the Alpha Site and take this with me." Jack saw it was an Ancient power box
"Cool. What about the Gamma Site"
"Done. After I've finish at the Alpha Site, I'll go to the Gamma Site them back home."
"Ok. Anything happen while I was away?"
"Ah…. Yes, Atlantis called, I spoke to Dr Weir, the Wraith mother ships have been destroyed, and Atlantis is safe."
"Casualties?"
"Five wounded."
"That is good news." Sam smiled.
"Yes it is. Dr Weir is sending four pilots here tomorrow."
"Why?"
"They need four ships and more drones, the four they took with them yesterday were destroyed."
"Oh… ok. So shall we get out of here?"
"I need ten minutes."
"Ok, I'll go and see what else has been happening." He gave her a smile before turning and walking out the door.
An hour later, Jack and Sam left the base for the night.
The next morning, Jack was down in the gate room to see Sam off since she was leaving at 0800 hours. After Sam left, Jack returned to his office to face two days' worth of paperwork.
An hour later, Sam returned to the SGC with a smile on her face. When she stepped on the ramp she saw the ship, and four members of the Atlantis team talking to Jack.
"Hey how did it go?"
"Good, they are happy with the new power sources."
"That's good news. So, care to join us, we're taking food and other things for SG1 and 2."
"Sure," she said smiling.
They walked over and onto the ship while six airmen moved the ramp to one side of the gate room. Sam noticed when she walked onto the ship that there were containers everywhere. When she sat down in the passenger seat, she turned to see Jack sitting in the driver seat and the four others standing behind them.
"What's with the containers?"
Then she saw airmen putting the remaining containers in the back, then the door close. She turned to Jack.
"Its supplies for SG1 and 2."
"Ok."
She turned to watch Jack dial the gate and pilot their ship through the gate to the other side. Then they flew to the temple. When they reached their destination, they saw trees blown over like they had been through a bad storm. Jack flew over where the camp site should have been, it was gone.
"They must have been through some sort of storm," Sam said.
"I hope they are ok," one of the men said.
Jack flew to the cavern entrance and flew in 'til they reached the main cavern. They flew over to an open area and landed the ship just as they saw Teal'c walk out from around one of the other ships.
They all smiled then they saw the others show up. The members of SG1 and 2 all smiled when they saw who was in the ship.
"Hi, guys. We brought some goodies for you," Jack said.
"Thanks, Jack."
"You will have to unload them. Sorry, we're stuck in here."
"Sure." They walked to the back of the ship and waited for the door to open.
"Wow, you're not joking, Jack. "
SG1 and 2 removed most of the containers, and then the four Atlantis team members, Jack, and Sam help unloaded the rest.
"What happened outside?" Sam asked.
"A storm hit after you guys left. We managed to get all our gear in here."
"Ok, we better help load four ships with drones for these guys," Jack said.
"So you destroy the Wraith ships?" Ferretti asked.
"Yep. But we only have five drones left."
"Ok, and Atlantis?" Daniel asked.
"Still in one piece."
"That is good news."
SG1 and 2 helped load up the four ships, once done the Atlantis team left to head to the Stargate.
"I'll come and get you guys in three days."
"Yes, Sir."
"Good, come on, Carter."
"Bye, guys."
"Bye, Sam."
Sam followed Jack onto the ship, and then they left the cavern and headed to the Stargate.
