Stargate Atlantis Trading Grounds I: The Return To La Rochelle
Warnings: This story is going to match the dialog, in the flashback memories, of chapter 4, of the past meets the present series. As it also follows the complete mental breakdowns, of the human half of the team. And Robert Makepeace and Adam Johnson, so the story is going to follow the dialog to the letter exactly. Along with some new dialog that was not in the fast forwarded portion in the flashbacks.
With this chapter, it's taking a leaf out of the movie version of Sphere, before they all got paranoid enough to start turning on each other. With 1/10th the ship 850ft deep below the waterline, it's the events during Hoffman's case. That come to the fore, Daniel taking Goodman's position, her taking Halperin's position. And Samuel L. Jackson's character double, and Liev Schrieber's save his life, during his drop off.
Basing this in real time, rather then the show, of 25 years ago, Antarctica was a neutral zone for research so military research was not allowed out there. And with it, as the chair is considered military technology, it was meant to be last resort. In case of another orbital attack, so the outpost is now trade and exploration here. Also with this chapter Daniel is telling the public, the SGA has reactivated now, and with it.
That he's working trade to bring in more improvement for the planet at large now, so a military attack to bring him back to the states, is attempted, is an international. In incidents and enough to get them convicted for kidnapping now, with his clearance. So from here, is he's dropping in on Ry'ac and Drey'auc and before the press conference. And just before his first stop in planets is to Gaea, home of the Nox.
As the mission was sanctioned, and he was transferred to Landry and the Atlantis team at the time. As Rodney McKay, Cam Mitchell, Vala Mal Doran, Hank Landry, Frank Simmons, Steven Caldwell, John Shepard. And Elizabeth Weir enter the picture here, the story will have Daniel and Teal'C joining their team. As the SGA is founded 5 years early, and moved into the outpost on earth….
Disclaimers: I don't own the shows, the story belongs to everything else belongs to the creators and the movie companies.
Chapter 46: The Mission Begins And The Truth Comes Out IX
"Sarah and I are giving it another go, time reversed itself, Annie." Daniel said and she smiled in delight at that. "Perfect the team is back is together, and we live our real lives, but if they're not going to leave you alone, we go out the backdoor here right now. Do our studies, live, with doing them in the stars, after talking to Mac right now, but this is ridiculous right now. So just to control you, they go Cyberdyne systems on us right now?" She said and he nodded gently.
"I can't go back, I do and Vidrine does a Silberman here, by blackmailing me now, fortunately Charlie and Emily are in Rochester New York. But, and you're going to love this, Charlie is David, partner to Farrow/Marshall." he said and they nodded in shock. "Our defense contracts!" Picard said and he nodded and he got on the phone. "Vidrine, are you aware that Jackson's ex girlfriend's family is carrying a high share in Farrow/Marshall." he said and the officers all paled.
"Yeah you heard me right, Farrow/Marshall, that you start blackmailing him this way, we lost 75 percent of our munitions contracts now, causing us to run out of munitions." he said and they started shaking in fear, now realizing that idea backfired as well. "Here's my own threat, leave him alone, or the next time he returns to states, your ass. Now, is ending up in military court, gentlemen." he said and Maybourne, Kennedy, Sean Grieves and West and Vidrine went white.
"Get the message and back off, before you cost the U.S. government quadrillions in dollars, because you're hung up here on Hathor." he said sternly and they swallowed hard at that, as he switched off the radio, and dialed the president and the Senate Appropriations Committee. "Mr. President, this is General Landry at the SGA, I gained some very serious intel here. It seems that the father of one Dr. Sarah Gardener, just happens to be Charlie David Gardener."
"Yeah the same Dave Gardener who's partnered with Farrow/Marshall, that he gets wind here, that they're blackmailing his once again future son-in-law. And it's going to cost us billions in to trillions, in tax dollars, to be able to afford the aeronautical technology again. We have to put an end to this, because we don't, and the U.S. military has gone completely bankrupt. We already tested the gate out, and the only thing we noticed, with the battle bridge here at the moment."
"In truth here, halfway underwater, a few ripples, but nothing more than that, and it's not taking up the power in the ship. But we're a training center for teenagers, getting into the academy, learning to be pilots. Along with a Manhattan sized city in suburbs now, that these children, and their non soldier parent. Do not need to be harassed by crazy U.S. military officers right now.., I understand, that if they're not going to leave him alone, they're being replaced right now."
"Yes Sir, I understand.., right, I'll get Sarah and her family, and Daniel's college crowd and beam them in, yes Sir, I will, bye." he said and Daniel nodded. "The president say to bring the Gardeners, Father Thomas, Dr. Jordan and the team here?" Anna asked and he nodded. "Yes, we're relocating them, so the Gardeners are safely here, along with your friends, school priest. And mentor at the academy, so your team is safely here now." he said and they sighed in relief.
"So best to put the communicators on their, the Gardeners, kitchen counter, and then put my name on it, and they know, I'm protecting them." he said and Landry nodded. "So you work the base line program you don't work the program at all, it doesn't work like that. Well once we went live, the U.N. and the senate and House make the calls right now, but that did it. The president is close to having them tried for blackmail next." He said and Daniel nodded then.
"Well I made my choice, time to return to the real me again, I get back together with my family and I'm under your command." he said and they nodded. "The communicators." he said and Daniel nodded as they charged to the transporter room. "Sarah, I'm sending you and your curator, some communicators, once on, we lock onto your signature." he said and they all nodded, as 5 TNG communicators appeared on the table, and they put them on then quickly.
As 5 more ended up on the Gardeners dinner table, and Charlie Gardener, Sarah's father, picked one up, saw. D.J., and smiled gently. "Charlie, Emily, I'm back, we decided to give it another shot, so I'm bringing you all here, the ship herself is the size of 4 states. So as a result, we're in Antarctica here, I'm working for the SGA, my commander. He's the leader of what my side of the program turns into, but the city's is big enough."
"Just to hold 750,000 people, to protect you, like I would my adoptive family right now, I'm adopted by my original Commander, General Hammond now. Said is getting you out of range, before they come after you, but the job just took it. A turn for the worst here, to control me, is using you to do so, only they never knew here right now. They never knew here now that you're controlling 75% of their defense contracts."
"But as I'm still healing, but if her to, then I'm going it alone now, I will bring Sarah back, you have my word now, I love you guys, I never stopped. You're my family, and I'm severing all ties with Sierra Gulf Charlie now, I'm Starfleet now. I'm still me, I just changed into a skilled Commander, with my original PH'D's, see you soon, D.J..' he read to himself and his wife and they smiled in delight, knowing who the initials meant now.
"I got it son, Emily put this on, Charisse, Lily, Peter." he said and they nodded, as they put on their's. "Alright Daniel, we're almost ready, we just need to pack, and then beam up in 45 minutes." he said, tapping the shield, and he got a beep in response then, as they all packed up their clothes, what belongings they wanted to bring. If this was like their favorite tv show, it meant a perfect time as they lived in a 5 bedroom apartment now after this now finally.
As the quintet had their clothes and gear slung over their shoulders. "Alright we're ready Daniel, do it, bring us in." Jordan said and O'Brien switched it on, and they appeared on the teleporter pad, before she dropped her duffle and threw her arms around him. "God I missed you so much, love." she said and he smiled. "I missed you too honey, Sir, this is Senior Professor, Dr. David Adam Johnson and Drs. Sarah Gardener, Steven Raynor and Kevin Bishop."
"I'd like you to meet my new team, in both versions, Teal'C and Bert Samuels you know, well the new members are Colonel Andy Dixon. Captain Jason Adams, Lieutenant, Dr. Jennifer Keller, Vala Mal Doran and Major Cam Mitchell, these 2 men. They are my commander and his fellow General, Major Generals Hank Landry and Jean Pierre Luc Picard. The Grandfather of Jean Luc Picard, TNG crew." he said and they nodded smiling, before they heard a gentle call out then.
"Alright we're ready love, beam us in now." they heard from her mother and O'brien locked on, and beamed them to the ship and Emily moved to him then. "God I missed you baby, I didn't think you'd ever come back, Danny." she said and he smiled. "I missed you too, Emily, hey Charlie, been a long time, but we decided to give it another go." he said and they nodded smiling. "And we never been more thrilled you did son, welcome home." he said to him then.
"Oh my god, what the hell did they do to you exactly!" Jordan said and he nodded. "The bastard is a military interrogator in black ops, he got arrested 10 years ago by General Segei. Who is an Iraqi General, that if one version of breaking the soldier, in captivity never works, they went to the other, and the other is a career soldier's worst nightmare, once they strip them. To take the whip to their back, seeing them chest up unclothed, the inner caveman takes total control."
"During Hathor they got shoved back 10 years in memories, you remember what I looked like when playing basketball, I just stripped the jersey and was bare chested." he said and the curator's eyes narrowed at the news. "They took one look at you and their inner cave man lost it, you don't have to say anything else, the report said they claimed you're a traitor. When they actively helped her, he even became her first Jaffa." Bishop said sternly and he nodded then.
"You never got over that, and you threw him to the wolves, first Shyla and then to the brass, and we're 34, borderline 35, and they're going on 43, this is pedophilia. And they're rapists, so get that baby away from him and now, as they run these guys through the psychiatric ringer. And Carter is of the belief here that he would never attack one of their own men, but to them you're a traitor, this makes everything they did okay." Sarah said sternly and Daniel nodded.
"Well I know you on sight now, military hair cut maybe, but that's still you right now, my boyfriend, you belong to me, but she wants a man get her own. But holding you hostage to protect herself, that's beyond selfish right now, M.I. tramp." she said sternly and knowing she would have gone white at that remark, from her rival to him, who was no rival at all. He severed all contact with her, and moved to the other side of the globe, as he belonged to Sarah.
"The 25 decks up the battle bridge are living quarters, level 26 to 50, are the engineering room, training simulations, our cargo and below that is the docking station for the subs. The water purifier and what could be considered the aquarium now, with what's underwater. And the only noise these animals hear is the humming of the engine, not the constant explosions here. But we're on the edge of the drop off here." Daniel said and he nodded smiling gently to the news.
"So here's where we're living now, we can study the cultures for real now, instead of artifacts and taking guesses." Bishop said and he nodded. "Hey Sarah, guys, Professor." Anna said and they smiled, as they hugged her tightly. "Sorry Professor, the job got too dangerous, with the NID involved, I stay away or, just like Selig. And they're going to kill you, and now even Vidrine and West get in on the act now." he said and he nodded, as he hugged him tightly in response.
"Well the episode gets changed, from Sarah being turned into a host, to her staying here, let's see if we can make contact with the Mariposans, they get a copy of Sarah. And the other copy is for the bloody thing, same thing for Steven, the little bugger attacks Steven's second clone. And the other stays with them, while they stay here, and me with them, as I get cloned." Jordan said and Landry nodded in agreement to his opinion. "Start next week." he said to them gently then.
And they and Bishop nodded,. "I been watching the show for 2.5 years and I never realized that was always you, till the news broadcast, and the press conference. That was why you left, and now the program is open knowledge right now, well then Area 51. That must be their military technology hoard, while you're bringing back drugs and other things. That make a benefit, we're just new members of the crew now, our team back together." Bishop said and he nodded then.
"That's the reason exactly, but I have to make a visit to the rest of the races, the Tollan and Tok'ra, but that mission to Shyla, could take a while, so I'm spotting two weeks. And then you come in after me, as you get an education here, in the pre french revolution. Because their planetary ring is trapped in 1660's." he said and they nodded, smiling gently. "Well our expertise was Egyptian, but here's taking studying the living history too far." Jordan said with a chuckle.
"Check that previous in passengers General, I ran a headcount!" David Bender said and he nodded. "What's the total?" he said and he explained it. "Ship complement's of 800,000 maximum, so said is we have 1/10th more then half that, at 80,000 complement." he said and Landry nodded. "So that's sum number kids, sum adults and some furry household" Daniel said, running an estimate and Landry nodded. "So 5,000 kids, per suburb." he said and they nodded.
"So 15,000 per area, 2.5% in our furry passengers, 37.5% are kids up to college level. 30% are the officers spouses and the other 30% is officers." he said and they nodded. "So that's 15,000 members per suburb and their furry friends, yeah okay, so said age groups are 600 members. Alright, sickbay is the ship hospital and dentistry, everybody go there for medical and for the dentist now, holodecks are open to everyone in your portion of ship, as are the library, malls."
"And arcades, whatever got downloaded here, into games and entertainment, if the games are first person shooters, watch where you aim the weapons. And before you get too wound up here, if said are games like Doom, Quake and Heretic." Landry said and they nodded to the orders. "Yeah about that, I found these on the holodeck, for the first two, the third matches more medieval weaponry." Jake Kurland said, passing him the prototypes, to the intar weapons.
"They only work on the holodeck?" he asked and he nodded. "The Potts brothers." Daniel said and Will covered his eyes. "Young man that wasn't funny, it's a wonder he never died, from the effects of those parasites." Picard said sternly and Daniel nodded. "Alright again, we need to split ourselves down the middle, to cover the entire contingent here." Porter said and he nodded in agreement. "Agreed, number out." he said and they nodded as Picard said it quickly then.
"Computer how many in each department do we have, military personnel: medical personnel, scientists, technicians, security detail, engineering?" he asked and she explained that. "The ship complement contains 25 medical doctors, 10 psychiatrists, 16 dentists. 420 nurses and orderlies, in civilian mode two, we have a few officers here. And with medical spouses, 250 security officers, 290 scientists all fields, 300 pilots.
"And command officers, 200 Technicians and 250 engineering officers, and 200 deepsea exploration, in this case is we also have the cast here. So expect trouble, as the place is packed to the brim for now, but we have enough people here as it is." she said and Sarah started laughing at that. "So you're like the smart house in that movie, we just log our signatures in, and you do the rest." her mother said smiling gently at the remark then.
"Yes Emily that's right, mentally I'm no older then you, your age group, so Danny Junior and his twin, or just their big brother, they had me as an automated baby sitter now, while you and Commander Jackson were busy with something. Everything dangerous was locked up or covered up, so child proof took on an entirely whole new meaning here." she said and they nodded, smiling in relief, knowing this made it easier.
"Of all areas in the field, Ship is broken down, to 4 parts now, deepsea exploration, engineering, exploration and trade and residential living quarters. Now then, from levels 36 to 42 are engineering, 35 to 25 are the military base now. With the ship 750 miles long there's plenty of room to pretend you're in 16 floor military silo. From 25 and up, is residential living quarters, ship complement of 750,000 people now."
"And McMurdo and White Rock Research are in range of the complement, however, if SGC-1 returns to Antarctica, then they are designated to White Rock Research. And only, which is the bow section of deck 26, and the doors sealed shut on that side. As if there is bio-hazard, I am not allowing it all over me and infecting you, my passengers. In case of contaminates, but sides, in civilian, from slightly harmless in sciences."
"To medium, to low threat level, to highly dangerous are marked by your color, white is the research department. At the outpost Dr. Jackson found here now, sky blue is residential living quarters, you're marked by your color side. When in your teenage children's uniform color as I provided pre high school, color designations. So you know where your designation is, your children are dressed like Wes was season 2."
"Surface sea blue is turquoise, covering engineering, research, trade and exploration, and deep blue, bordering on navy is deepsea exploration, and the door marked by red. Is the entrance into the habitat, only authorized personnel are allowed passed the red door. Everyone else, report to the control room, unless you wish to do a stint in the habitat." it said and they nodded. "Nice, our departments." Shepard said to that, smiling.
"Oh, right before I forget to tell you this, I'm allergic to citrus." Rodney said and Pulaski nodded. "Then nothing made of citrus fruits, at least you're not a diabetic, but borderline hypoglycemia is bad enough already, Rodney, so no missing meals, and 4 snacks a day." she said and he nodded then. "Wearing contacts on missions, but I'm wearing glasses here, so word of warning here, it's genetic, runs in the family, 4 generations." Daniel said and she nodded in understanding then.
"And even the technology can't fix that." she said bemused and he nodded. "I'd hate to be the poor idiot that never took your training seriously, but good food, good entertainment. If you keep to the rules and you can enjoy yourselves on mission, but as you said, with us being it. Scientists, our idea of fun, doesn't not center around camping and fishing, but rather soaking in the culture, we got an auditorium for plays and the orchestra here." Will said and he smiled.
"How about the other careers, grade to high school teachers, bankers, store salesmans, school coaching jobs, and so on?" he asked and they heard a smile. "There are 240 teachers on board, including special needs students, in teaching, 84 teaching aides. While teachers are normal, 120 are including coaching jobs, 84 store salesman, 75 bankers, 95 salesman. 120 in waitressing jobs all of which are high level jobs, currently the ship."
"It has enough banking power and to last 250 years, supplies in the area of 30 years, however now. With it's young passengers now, the snacking supplies will be used up in 15." it said and they nodded with a chuckle. "Then we need to bring in more junk food, for these children now, but 80% good, 20% bad now, said sports teachers. We convert the holodeck into said sport arena of choice, so sports now, that gym is meant not just for schooling now."
"But also…, Ente, what does the battle bridge offer to military personnel, before they return home for the day, in the saucer section." he asked and it explained that. "Battle Bridge, as a military base, from decks 26 to 42 are containing the ship positionary jobs. The gate room, 4 gyms, 5 shuttle bays, 18 cargo bays, with 3 necessary for supplies. In trade deals on missions, 5 ready to be of use for technology containment, engineering."
"Decks 43 to 52, are more hazardous however, because that portion is for deep sea exploration, so submarine officers are required to decompress mandatory. And though wearing pressure suits, any personnel going down there must pressurize the lock. As the deeper levels are pressurized by helium, and carrying voice regulators. There is no fast return to the surface, once below deck 43." it said and they nodded sternly then.
"How far deep is 43 to 52 extending if the ship is underwater?" he asked and it sighed. "I'm afraid, that level is going off the shelf, extending 850 feet below the surface. In media it looks smaller then to reality, in reality the ship, me is 3x's the size of my name sake. With the ship underwater, in the lower levels, the ship was created with the strongest material possible to withstand the pressure of the ocean itself." it said and they nodded.
"Too late, and like I said, we never dove that low before, there had to be a side effect, said side effect, we can see through windows to know the hell is going on outside." they heard and Daniel nodded. "Ted, I thought I said decompression?" he said and the man shook his head. "Wrong man, my peer said that, the man talking with the balloon voice, is Lawrence Theodore Collins. But my name's Theodore Jason Alexander, I was on deck 43, when I said that, Commander."
"Fully decompressed, they were just coming on board, but the last 10 decks are the habitat, that Dustin, Sharon and Sam were on. Peter's counterpart, his name is David Harold Barnes, Commander Dave Barnes, my name is Lieutenant Commander Ted Alexander. But Admiral Haden is doing our section, and our habitat comes equipped with all the comforts. And of home, but our families are topside in the ship right now." he said and Daniel nodded then in relief.
"Nice to meet you Ted." he said, and shook his hand and he smiled, looking into his eyes, he saw a good man, and a friend. "So what's your expertise exactly?" he asked and he chuckled. "I'm a physicist, controlling the control room actually on deck 43, it's as you figured, that second door once you reach the interlock, to the other side of the floor. And it's marked by red lining, that's the entrance to the habitat, I'm making sure everything's working correctly here."
"Fully pressurized, so no chance of water seeping in, but Peter had every right to be worried, because the only weapon we have down there comes with the added danger. Of starting a fire, fortunately none of our undersea friends can attack us, because we're strong enough. Just to not get dislodged from the edge of the continent, or from the saucer section. Said book, said is still a danger, with these hotshots now, but if O'neill got arrested, is he'd never survive this."
"He's a burrower, on the solid ground, not underwater." he said and Daniel nodded. "Well you can teach me this, but I'm an archeology/anthropology, but my real reason now. In why I left, not only did they betray my trust, Jack just tried to kill me last week, to prevent me. And from leaving, my late wife's son, he's an ancient prodigy, carrying all the knowledge of their species. As the Goa'uld now." he said and Alexander nodded, smiling gently then, in understanding.
"But 850ft, the most we get down to, is the twilight zone, we never been down further then that, that have a flyboy, or jarhead, come on board a ship full of seals here. They're a lone eagle, or bulldog, amongst a few hundred thousand leopard seals and colossal squids. But she pulls that stunt, and claims something, that the team and I would never, ever do to you. Then she finally snapped from the space dementia, of life underwater." Haden said and he nodded gently then.
"Yep, you knew the entire story, as I never lied to you, and we had each other's back, when I'm not topside, but rather then an astronaut, I'm a naval crewman. Being an undersea water explorer here, the job is beyond simple, when you know what you're doing. But her arrogance has always been telling, she never controls her mouth, till it gets her in trouble. And by then I'm not talking to her, as the silent treatment." he said and Haden crossed his arms sternly then.
"I get that, we know all about that, which is why exactly, you're better off with us, you been doing this so long, why go back to being on solid ground, back to the states here now. Returning to the mainland, when it's more simple down here, simple, though at times dangerous. It's you're not hearing explosions, because the noise never penetrates this far down now in truth. You're better of use in trade, training our cubs and your real job, you deserve happiness here."
"And you get it finally, by having your girlfriend back now, new life, new career and you learn this, but said Naval rank, you're my superior, but we're friends, brothers." he said and Daniel nodded smiling. "Is she telling me the truth, she was never there for me, ever, in truth, she always took the easy way out, take my realizing it's a virus, or the damn plants. It's the same damn story every time, she apologies, but never means it." he said and Alexander nodded.
Now seeing the level of resentment, and pain she did to him, as they talked and Haden nodded sternly, knowing the Air Force major had done such a job, he decided then. He was never going back, at the time then, he was happy where he was now. "I mean ever, cruel jabs, insulting my job, hiding information I deserved to know here. A choice between listening to her, or to you, no contest, I would you in a heartbeat now." he said and they both smiled gently at that news.
"Where we at down there exactly?" he asked and they nodded. "That's 850ft, is 150ft above the, what we call the Aphotic Zone now, where the sunlight doesn't penetrate that deep. It's like living in space is so quiet right now, that's decks 44 through 52, and traveling around. And down there take the sub, but we're not on our own, we're connected to the ship here. With your base just above us." Alexander said gently and Daniel and Teal'C nodded in understanding gently.
"It's added side effects, once we go into your arena, is a case of be prepared for the tidal forces, it's Aquatica on Sam's movie, the blast would blow the pressure out of alignment." Daniel said and Haden nodded, smiling at his insight. "Yes there you see, you're a natural naval personnel here, you understand the remark making sure it's stabilized. Pressure equalized, like going into space, we teach you the mental and physical constraints of life in deepsea exploration here."
"And soon you're in that sub and doing what we do, as you recuperate from the decompression here, before going topside again, to your network. But for a Flyboy, Bulldog or a Mule, they have no idea how dangerous this gets, this is why we do the deepsea salvage. And exploration, we're less likely to go off the handle here." he said and Daniel nodded. "Hence the remark of only a mathematician can decode what we're sending down to you guys, from the surface levels."
"To alert you, if Apophis's counterpart returns, man your battle stations right now and we got company, because the torpedo launcher is the chair itself." he said and they nodded. "And sound general quarters, we got company here, but who are they kidding right now in truth. Instead of going to Atlantis, you love your job down here, that why leave." he said to him then. "Yep, aside from Teal'C, I know I got you, to watch my back, always." he said and Alexander smiled then.
"Or the entire team here, huh Dan?" They heard from Jackson's double and he nodded gently smiling then. "Yeah uh, Eric?" he asked and he heard a gentle smile in his voice as he answered him then gently. "That's right man, my name is Eric Walker, Lieutenant Eric Walker, my trio are Captain Brandon Henderson. And Junior Grade Karen Parker, but I get the reasoning, after months together, it's simple logic, after she lied to you."
"Followed by taking the easy way out, during Machello, and then throwing Linea in your face now. That in truth, is simple logic, you base trust on who had your back all the time, Teal'C, Lou, Jared, Andy's counterpart, Michael. They're like us, we'd never lie to you, just to protect ourselves, yeah the job gets dangerous. On any number of levels, but it's not your job, to catch them, that why should you believe her now."
"And in anything she said, as she was never there for you, she lied to you, she barely killed you in trying to escape, the NMS, it's simple logic. But we been together so long, that this was easy right now, Ted and me, if she left the control deck. You were on duty in doing delivery, she does that, and it's that's it now. We were never separated, we're team mates, simple logic." he said and Daniel nodded as Alexander nodded gently.
"You're the Mathematician, Karen's the marine biologist and Dave's the psychiatrist, yeah this should be good, we got 8 psychiatrists on board this ship and Dave's one of them. But said mini psychotic break she doesn't realize how dangerous this gets, it all sounds good. In theory till you actually get up there or down here, and you realize it's harder than it looks here. I been around you three, and Ted so long, you're my best friends, and you and Teal'C, it's a no brainer."
"Once you come topside, I can tell you directly Dave, but quite frankly, after lying to me, and I get the truth straight from Shyla's father, after I slammed into the wall. In my P.T., after they caused a cave in, was too much, after I gave her a chance now. She's holding onto the fact the damn thing was the reason for my change of personality. Only now, I changed overnight, because she lied to me and secondly, I'm working for you: the medical/psychiatric department."
"Making the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, Commander, I turned into a Commander of Will's caliber overnight, and went Will Riker on her for that stunt. I was on a back payoff, but knowing they were looking for me, I decided to not call in. As the base computer logs the planet of every incoming call, not outgoing, and this was. Like the scar on his arm, meant to emphasize the psychosis of Hathor." he said, and the trio nodded in understanding to the news as their fourth.
Then crossed his arms. "I understand, repeated showing of psychosis, first by said faked suicide, before going to get the GDO back. Followed by not telling them the dangers, followed by a test in telling them you could send them home. That you stay there, and then followed it up by last week's set up, and it's looking like a murder scene. When in the bathroom and living room, it's a test, it's all a test right now, of psychiatrics."
"One he lost and her, she's now converted and taking everything he says no question, they either brainwashed her, or better, she too is a drone. But just prior, is the cruelest thing anyone could ever do to someone else. Believe the lie, the one person, besides Teal'C, you thought could trust. She betrayed you in the cruelest way possibly, after the trio had a breakdown, based on Hathor, how can you listen to her, over us."
"It's alright, we understand perfectly, us or her, after 9 months together, we had each others backs before the timer, on the SGC ends. Is a no brainer, it would always be us, simple logic, we never lied to each other before. So why start now exactly, you doing 1/10th of your time with us in the habitat, 10 days decompression. Then return to the surface, again and again, is easy, you do it all the time." he said and Daniel said nodded.
"Son, we better just drop the act, I already came to get you, before we brought it here." he added to him gently and Alexander and his trio nodded. "So you're the Danny, he's always talking about?" the team radio-man said gently and he nodded. "I am, and he's another adoptive uncle, so said attachment after sum months here, was real. He had me for 5 years of entire 10, before I got out of the system, as for this, he brought me along from time to time."
"In this case is 1 day per 100ft, so 8 1/2 days here in decompression." he said, running his own physics and Alexander smiled, and he smiled he guessed correctly at the response. "Yeah there you see, you understand perfectly, 1 day per 100ft deep, the most we get is 500ft. We never been down that deep, that it's cutting it, just a little too close, that's why I said that. Queenie and I never leave deck 43, control room side, they're the divers." he said and the duo nodded.
"Just wait for that same rant, in her case, I want to trust and listen to you, Eric, then that's fine, because you been doing everything, but part the sea for me. Since I started working here, but she's telling me, you're not telling me the truth." he said and he nodded. "Yeah that should be interesting now, just imagine, if we did have an alien spaceship down here." he said and on that, the image shot up, as he and his other team mate, looking like David Arquette.
And Alexander, got him up, as he was too weak to get off the floor, "Not again, where is she?" he said weakly, gasping for breath. "Try and relax your breathing, slow down, slow down calm down man. You're gonna hyperventilate." Walker said and he said it "Where is she? She said she'd..., she'd keep an eye out for me." he asked and he said it gently. "I looked through the whole habitat here for her, but I couldn't find her right now."
"I thought maybe she was with you." he said and he nodded. "Where is she? Where is she?" he asked as they waited till he was ready, as they went to check the camera to see where she went. 'Sam damn it, first Sha're and now this, you lied to me, again, you promised!" they heard sternly then. "She tell you she was going out?" he asked them seeing her and they shook their heads. "No." he said to him then. "Sam?" he said and she said it then.
"Daniel? I can't hear you." she said and they exchanged looks. "Nice lie." Walker said sternly and they nodded. "Captain, if you can't hear him, then why are you answering the summons, shouldn't you be pretending the com is busted, after the squid attack." Haden said sternly to that and the quartet crossed their arms. "Agreed here, if she can't hear you, why did she answer right now exactly?" Alexander said sternly and he nodded then.
"Sam, what are you doing?" he asked her and she explained that. "I went out looking for food. We're out of food." she said and Alexander looking over his shoulder at their third, and he shook his head. "Cupboards are loaded, plenty of food in the fridge, she snapped." he said softly and Walker covered the mike with his hand at that remark. "There's plenty of food, I was just in up there, the pressures of being down here, she just cracked, Daniel."
"I think Hancock let her out prematurely here." he said sternly to that and he nodded. "You went to look for food in the spacecraft? That seems a little odd, don't you think?" he asked her gently then. "Why, what's odd about it?" she asked and he explained that to her then. "If there was food? Sam, uh, wouldn't it be three hundred years old?" he said and she said it with a hopeful smile in her tone to that remark at the remark then.
"I was hoping our luck would change and I'd find a cryogenic freezer. Or a bottle of bordeaux."she said and Walker nodded sternly then. "She's lying." he said and Alexander nodded. "Daniel, she's lying about everything, we been together so long, you said it yourself, after you joined us, why would I lie to you exactly, our friendship." he said and he nodded, knowing that cemented his decision, his ex team to his new friends, Teal'C.
He chose his new Navy quintet, and she said it carefully. "Is Eric there with you, Daniel?" she asked and Alexander pointed over his thumb his shoulder and he nodded. "Eric's checking the system Sam, but why don't we just talk when you get back? Meet me in the galley. We'll have a cup of coffee. We still have coffee, don't we?" he asked with a joking smile in the question, and they heard a bemused tone to that, as Haden hid a chuckle to that remark.
"Very funny, I'll take mine black, like my mood." she said and he nodded. "All right. See you soon." he said and turns off the microphone. "So now what, she's clearly not able to handle this." he asked and he nodded. "Uh huh, yeah what we have here are two ingredients: Sam and this underwater environment..., you put them together. And you've got one big ass bomb." Walker said sternly and he nodded to him in agreement.
As they waited for her to arrive, the 4 of them and their girl team mate were talking, as Sam enters."How'd it go with the mini-sub?" she said and he said. "It was a little disconcerting out there, actually." he said and she froze. "Oh?" she said and he nodded. "Weren't you supposed to be watching me from the control room?" he said and she said it. "Eric said he'd take over for me, he sat down right…, in front of the monitors.."
"And…, Daniel, what happened?" she asked and he said it. "I was in trouble, where the hell were you?" he asked and she said it shakily, realizing, once again, this was based on another Sha're. "What's going on, Daniel?" she asked and he said it, as the quartet were all staring at her. "All I know is, going out to find food in the spacecraft when there's plenty of food here, isn't exactly normal."he said and she looked at him in shock then.
"What do you mean, plenty of food? I was just here. There's nothing in th…" she said, and checked and saw food, as Walker said it sternly then. "Ta-da…, a veritable horn of plenty." he said and she turned around slowly. "He must've hidden it." she said, shaking and he scoffed then. "You think I hid all this food, how exactly, there is no chance of that, and not when we can't leave the habitat." he said sternly and she said it, shaking, to him.
"I don't know what's going on here, but twenty minutes ago I was standing right here and there was no food in the cupboards and no food in the refrigerator." she said and he nodded."Why, Sam? Why would Eric do that? Why would he set you up?" he said carefully and she started shaking in fear. "I don't know what happened. All I know is this food wasn't here." she said and Walker said it sternly then to her at that remark then.
"Uh huh, okay you promised to watch out for me and you didn't, you went to find food, that we already have, hello red flag here. And while you're looking for food, I'm close to a black out, from another medical emergency. And out of hypoxia, my cord blacked, out, and Teal'C had to come in after me, get me out. It's Goodman's incident with rapid cooling effect with the helium here." Daniel said and Henderson crossed his arms.
"Which is why I'm dressed like this, repeated hot drinks, wrapped in blankets, the team doctor said. That I'm very lucky, beyond lucky right now, were it not for their fast thinking, I would be dead right now, out of asphyxiation right now. So again why you leave the camera room, when my anchor blacked out right now?" he asked, and she started shaking violently in fear, realizing Henderson, too, was another psychiatrist then.
"I'm telling you, I was standing here, and this food was not here." she said, shaking in fear and Parker shook her head. "Please, you can't handle the isolation of life underwater, like going into space, via spaceship. And with the mental and physical rigors of working in space, so you don't freak out on the asteroid. Same thing, and this says clearly, you're suffering space dementia." she said sternly to her and Walker finished that.
"Calling Captain Carter, calling Captain Sam Carter, please return to reality." Walker said to her then and that did it. "Shut up!" she said at him and then said it to Daniel. "Okay, you can see what he's doing to me." she said and he said it. "Can I Sam, after Sha're, the sarcophagus, and Machello, as you were supposed to be watching, Sam. You were supposed to be watching, but you were not there at all." he said and broke it down.
"It's been what, 9 months, since your father, I been living here, and these guys are my best friends, they never lie to me, I been coming into the habitat. And 9x's out of 10, after Svetlana contacted us, saying she locked onto something. And Maybourne gets arrested now?" he asked and she started shaking violently, realizing how bad that looked now, after jumping Chaka now, he did a stint or two in real habitat now then at the tone.
"No I been doing this off and on, and for 10 months, I been down here 79 times in 10 months, this makes my 80th time. To them, I'm a natural at this, but the one time we bring you on board. But my locker is next to their's, my underwater suit, to them, I'm part of their team, just like I'm Andy's next in command here." he said and she paled, realizing he did it so often the effects didn't get to him, this was her first time and she cracked.
"As Dave would later say, to Brandon, well what I understand here, a thousand feet underwater and with no link to the surface. Said is just about the most dangerous place on the planet, if there's a problem, I need to know, right now, Commander." he said and she started shaking violently, as she saw the stern looks at her, realizing as a flyboy, a gate traveler, she was not well equipped to handle, in being underwater for days on end
"But we're 145 fathoms down, and currently there is a blizzard going on upstairs, in your department, and it got more dangerous. As, you're the resident schizophrenic on board, one we're all waiting to flip out and crack up. I decided to give you a chance and then told David about your mental history here. Just who the hell are you kidding, when are you going to get over that?!" he asked and she went white and they nodded.
"That's the facts, you promised to watch out for me and you didn't, you think Eric said something he didn't, you think that the cupboards are empty. When they're full..., Clinically, we would classify that as a psychotic break." he said and she said it with a panicky tone at that remark. "I'm not crazy, Daniel. What're you gonna do? Write me a prescription? Just get rid of me, well, it's not that convenient down here, Daniel."
"Okay, I am not psychotic." she snapped, feeling her frustration growing by the minutes then, now realizing Daniel went back to the realization. That he couldn't count on her for anything anymore, couldn't trust her not to have his back, without thinking about herself. "How about a mini-psychotic break." he said, walking around the table. "That's not fair." she said and he snapped it out. "Sam!" he said and she said it shakily and he read it out then.
"What?" she said then and he nodded. "Sam, I'm down there, my cord blacked out here, I can't breathe, I'm hyperventilating, the man saved me!" he said and she said it quickly. "But I..." she started to say and snapped it off. "Wait a minute, now you want me to believe that the man set me up, why, this isn't 'Alice in Wonderland'. Remember 'just you and me babe'? Is it unrealistic to think that at this point you are a danger."
"To yourself, you are a danger to all of us..., that your misguided anger towards me, for something not my fault, but your own commander. Who's still in that psychiatric hospital right now, for something that I don't know. Happened 4 years ago, because his incompetence is so distorted in his head, that your own. Is so distorted in your head, just because I never told you, when that trap was meant for him, not for you."
"When it was that happened 3.5 years ago, after I left to get that back pay off ago is so distorted in your head, like a drug here. You just can't let it go, because I never was there, that why should you be for me, that's what it comes down. Revenge, pure and simple, you blame me, I was out there, you almost got me killed. The man tried to save my life! You now want me to disbelieve Eric?!" he said and she said it in frustration.
"Yes, yes I want you to disbelieve Eric, I want you to look at me and believe me for one time, Daniel, don't you...? Just look at me, Daniel! Am I telling you the truth?" she said and he said it firmly, knowing everything he and the quintet had gone through together. Nothing would ever be the same again, her or them and Teal'C, it would always be them. "You weren't there, Sam." he said in finality and she nodded, knowing she lost him to them then.
"You want to believe Eric, Daniel, then that's fine, because he's done everything but part the sea for you. Since we've been down here, but I'm telling you that he is not telling you the truth." she said and he nodded. "This is not about Eric, okay, this is about you and me, it always was isn't it, you lied to me. And because you followed that bastard, you ignored the rules, that it?" he said and she looked at him then carefully.
"He didn't tell you what's inside The Sphere, did he." she said and turned to Jackson's double. "You didn't tell him, did you? You didn't tell him what's inside the Sphere, did you?" she said and Walker said it sternly then. "And how would you know that, Sam?" he asked and Daniel froze and looked at her. "Sam, did you go inside The Sphere?" he asked and he slammed his hand on the stop button then and they nodded sternly to that response.
"If that's not evidence and nothing is, we been together so long, it's clear, but us, we never lied to each other before, not starting now. She's been lying to you constantly here, she barely killed you 3 times in a year. She gave up after 24 hours right now here, she doesn't care about anything, but her own feelings. But the cold blooded decision, after Omac, that's enough of that." Parker's voice said sternly and he nodded.
"I'd hate to be her when she realizes she got replaced, Karen, you and him, you took her place in his life, you share a bond." Walker said and Daniel nodded. "You watching this in the decompression chamber, guys?" he asked and he heard Brandon Henderson answer that. "Yeah Daniel we are and I also agree with Jake, in fact here, she needs serious help, this is a psychotic break, if that happens for real, as you say my thoughts exactly."
"You can manage the stress down here, you been doing it off and on for months, in zero gravity, it's second nature to you after sums months. But her, she's a flyboy, you're a Seal now and the job is beyond easy, in underwater. But not on a deadline, though currently, you got a month, before you start training here right now. With you recovering still, as such, she's had a screw loose ever since Omac." he said to him then.
"Well I been listening to you way too much, but 1/10th of my time down there with you, this is beyond easy right now to me, but the ship is my arena, why should I listen to her. After she lied to me, regarding Sha're, she nearly killed me, 3 times, from the cave in, withdrawal. Or just by NMS from psychiatric drugs, she may say she was sorry, but she never means it. She still listens to him, till I throw it back in her face, but I just reversed everything on them, but, in truth."
"Just how much did dad tell you, with my being gone the past week." he said and knew the psychiatrist nodded gently then. "Enough to see that being around Airman and Marines, is just too dangerous, and you should be somewhere they can't reach you. And not with them locked up right now, but allowing her here, I'm waiting for the attempt. But you're too close to the guys now, to really open up to, you need someone here."
"That doesn't know you as well to talk to now, that's why Sanderson assigned you to me, so I can be there if you need. Though in this case, at times said patient grows too attached, and though going on 35, you still look half your age." he said and Daniel nodded gently. "Well then I better explain this, but to him. That's Jack O'neill, all the explosions and fire fights, is his idea of excitement, but for once, I need total peace and quiet here."
"I haven't had a chance to completely relax, since Hathor came into the picture, before Apophis got arrested by Sokar now, I'm exhausted, physically. Mentally and emotionally, that all I need is total peace and quiet here, but the trauma of some of these situations. I'm hearing weapons fire go off, I'm seeing Jack and Makepeace with that seductive leer on their faces. If this means exiling myself to you, the Navy, so be it." he said and the doctor nodded gently then to him.
"Since Hathor came into the picture, well I can hear the emphasis, as she said this crap is hormonal driven, but is there self restraint here?" Walker asked and he shook his head. "Not when the officers in question, or are interrogators." he said and they nodded sternly. "And there's why we're never letting them near you ever again, but yeah, I'm Ancient descent, that's why I'm so much like Sam, if you chose him." he said sternly to the news.
