Stargate Command or what will be the Stargate command
General West anxiously awaited any news on the team that he had sent off-world through Stargate, Well, this was a sentence that he thought he would never use, but that was life. It is around three days.
Moreover, he should be expecting them back any time soon. Just then, soldiers bust into his office. "Sir, the device is activating," he said.
General West quickly got out of his seat and followed the soldier to where the device was installed. He watched in anticipation as the Stargate dialled and the blue Horizon appeared, and within minutes, soldiers he had sent, started walking through it. Seeing that, he sighed in relief.
As the saying goes, spoken too soon, two soldiers Walked in carrying a person, and at last, came O'Neil. As Jack made his way down and looked at his face, he said, "Sir, can we talk in private."
General West nodded and said, "Let us go to my office."
After some time, both were seated in his office; he could no longer hold and said, "What happened there, O'Neil."
"Sir, it is a long story," Jack replied, telling him everything except the nuclear bomb and Daniel.
So the Stargate at Abydos has been destroyed, as well as the alien going by the name Ra, Egyptian God of sun and you have brought one of these alien kind back for us to study; Jack just nodded.
"Well, Jack, you had an interesting few days. Go and have a shower and rest. You certainly deserve it, thanks." he said. As Jack left his office, he quickly went to the infirmary.
As he entered the infirmary, he saw that the alien was already on the operation table, and the base doctor was working on the alien. He was sure that the alien was of male species. He looked male, but you cannot be sure.
He shook himself out of these thoughts and wondered why he was concerned about the sex of the alien. It did not matter if it was male or female. At least to him, some geek could go gaga on that subject, but it did not matter as far as he was concerned.
He watched the base medical team perform preliminary checks on the alien and after node from everyone in the medical team. He saw an X-ray machine being brought over the alien. He wondered where the machine came from because he was sure this item was not in the base Hospital; all the X-ray requests used to go to the local Hospital.
He got to love the efficiency of the government in the usual time. The bureaucracy was slow and unmoving, which they were famous for, but in times of crisis, they could rival the best in the private sector regarding their problem-solving powers. It did help that, in that condition, they had the full might of the United States government behind them—all the inter-agency rivalry where forgotten. You could take this as an example of disassembling an X-ray machine from a local Hospital, bringing it to the base, and assembling it again, which generally takes a day. However, it was done within the time it took him to debrief Cornel O'Neil.
He watched as the alien was brought to the X-ray machine and his full scan was taken; as he saw the Doctor move away from the alien as the X-rays we are taken, he quickly made his way to him.
"Hi doc, what can you tell me," he said.
"Sir", the Doctor replied in alarm as if he was seeing him just now, which could be true. The Doctor must have a lot on his mind right now which was understandable. He watched as a doctor took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Not much, sir, we could identify around 15 Bullet holes in his body, and he must have lost much blood, or that would be my guess if he were a human, but this is an alien life form. We do not know his body structure, sir," the Doctor replied.
"He looks pretty human to me, so there must be some similarity, right." the General said.
"Yes, sir, that is what we are hoping for, but we cannot be sure until we open him up", the Doctor replied.
" So anything you can tell me right now which I can pass to higher-ups, I will be with them in half an hour. I have to tell the President something. " the General said.
" Well, sir, you can say that on our preliminary checks, this alien is semi-conscious; it looks like a human. The blood we have analyzed seems human we will know more when we open the alien up." the Doctor replied.
" Sir, the X-rays are ready, " one of the medical team said. He and the doc made their way to the X-rays; he waited patiently as the Doctor checked the X-ray.
" This looks like a human x-ray, so that is good, at least if you discount this budging thing in his neck. We will begin the operation in 15 minutes. Tell them to be ready." the Doctor said to his subordinate.
"Well, doc, you have everything under control here. I will leave it to you." General West said.
Half an hour later
General West was on a conference call with the President, Chief of staff and the joint Chief.
"Sir, as you would have been informed, the team we sent to the other planet has returned, and they have brought an alien with them." General West said, making sure that everyone was on the same page. These were very powerful people who needed it to make the right decision.
"We have since started medical procedures on the alien as he is injured." General West continue.
"What type of injuries and medical condition are there if you can shed some light on it," the Chief of staff said.
"Sir, according to my medical team's preliminary report, the alien is semi-conscious and has what appears to be a human structure; at least 15 bullets hit him. We are prepping him for the surgery," General West replied.
"General, whatever resources you need there are yours, and keep us informed; I classify this to need to know basis as well as a national secret and report to us about the surgery as soon as you can." the President said.
" Yes, sir." General West replied, and the conference terminated.
"Inform me as soon as the medical team finishes surgery," he said to his aid. "And now we wait," he said to himself.
The surgery lasted almost 12 hours, and the tired Doctor sat in his office.
"Doc. I do not need much; just the basic would do for now." the General said.
"Sir, the surgery went well. We will continue to monitor the alien for now", the doc said.
"That is good enough for me for now. You go and rest doc. We have a call with the President at 11 00, which is 5 hours from now." the General said, and both retired to sleep.
Dr. James Weber's pov.
James was not able to sleep much that night. Even if he was exhausted, the meeting in the morning was on his mind. He woke up around 9 a.m. To prepare for the meeting, and had a light breakfast.
At 11, he was on the conference call with the President, Chief of staff and the joint chiefs, and General West was also with him.
" Good Morning, sir; I will get to the point. This is Dr. James Weber. He and his team are performing the surgery on the alien. So without further ado, I will handle these to Doctor James so he can brief you." General West said.
"Sir, the alien body seems remarkably similar to ours. Even identical, the only difference I could find was watching this snake-like creature attached to his neck; this seemed like a parasite. So as the General must have informed you, we found 15 bullets in the alien body. The alien survived for so long and was still semi-conscious when the team brought him to Earth.
This is nothing sort of extraordinary, that his body since he was fighting the bullet and was healing even before we started operating on him, so based on that, I can say that the alien would make a full recovery. I am just not sure about the time frame. Also, sir, we removed almost all of that parasite. Only a tiny gland is still attached to his body as it was so close to the spine that I did not feel comfortable removing that." James finished his report.
He looked around and saw that the higher-ups were pleased with the report.
"Great work, Doctor; I will send someone to look at the parasite to understand it better. Could you leave us, Doctor? I have to discuss something with the General; again, great work." the President said. James nodded and left the room.
