Stargate Atlantis Trading Grounds I: The Return To La Rochelle
Warnings: With this series, there's going to be a severe amount of backlash brought on by the traumas of Hathor and Machello. But the connector here is going to be Need and Shyla's kingdom, so for Sam and Jack. The events of Hathor and Shyla have stuck, leaving them facing a backlash that has Daniel. And Teal'C, on one of the line, them on the other, in basing this solely on the book series on the movie, directly after it.
The events are altered to it being civilian ran with military help and the SGA is just that, as Jack and Makepeace get the entirety of the consequences. That resulted in Daniel becoming a pariah now in that book series, only now it's reversed here. So everything negative on Daniel is Jack now, in the SGA and everything Jack is Daniel. In the SGC ops, but it's because of the permanent effects of Hathor's pheromones.
This story and it's followers are 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.
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. So with this chapter, is the colony/crew is now getting used to being a slightly underwater crew.
As he's getting to work in trading to bring in more improvement for the planet at large now, so a military attack. Just 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.
This chapter will finish off this portion of the story-line, as the next two chapters and forward, cover chapter 2, going by the name. And of The Glory Of Tantulus, which covers things, from his going to the races and Tok'ra creation of the treaty. And his return to Shyla, before the following Chapters cover the the breakdowns of the trio and Carter, who's lost her ability to function mentally, out of desperation now.
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 92: New Futures And Fresh Starts II
"There we go, alright the parts, that are shown currently are part of the episode, it was the teaser that had the ship crashlanding, barely 30 minutes away from the Enterprise. With Carter getting stir crazy, you decided to send her to White Rock Research station for a while. And she somehow reconfigured herself into the rotation, and Peter and I decided to watch her. As we tested her capability to handle deepsea diving and live in space." Hoffman said and he nodded.
"So Daniel's rotation with you was this week, as you decided to see why we had a teltak this size crash-landing off the coast of the continent, and barely 20 minutes away from you. And she arrives, and Daniel with his configuring the time spent on board the habitat. Applied supplies and consumables as needed, as you ran her through deepsea diving training. And she couldn't believe she was even being treated like this, she's in the military, she knows the ropes."
"True, but did she ever dive that deep underwater and spending a few weeks to a month, in a habitat." Cooper said and he nodded. "Followed by another betrayal, can she even think about anything but herself, or does the 85,000 people aboard this ship don't matter?" Hoffman said sternly and she went pale, realizing they were going to keep reminding her of that. She was expendable, but the majority mattered more then her own safety, she was dangerous here.
Before noticing something was wrong then. "Sam, something's happened to my hose." he said, quickly checking his hose then, as his mask starts whitening. "Sam, I've got bubbles coming out…., Sam!" he said frantically to her, and hearing this then. "Sam, can you tell me what to do. It's fogging me all up here." he said and still no answer, as he was trying to get back. "Sam, there's something wrong here, I've got to get out of here..."
"I've got to get out of…, Sam where the hell are you!" he shouted at her then, before Walker, quickly got on the radio then, to get his attention. "Hey, watch out for that rock. It's me, it's Eric." he said and he said it quickly. "Eric..." he said quickly, and he said it quickly. "Come around the rock... go to the right of the stanchion." he said and they heard it. "My ankle's stuck, I need help Eric, I'm stuck!" he said quickly and Henderson shook his head.
"He's hyperventilating, we need to get to him, now." he said and they nodded. "Hang on we're coming to get you, Daniel." Walker said and, Parker and Walker jumped in and grabbed him, and they quickly got him up the ladder. And as Henderson pulled him up, and they removed his helmet then. "Brandon, we need you to meet us down here now, close asphyxiation!" Stone shouted into the radio, as they pulled him away from the ledge then.
"Damn it, is she trying to kill him, where is she!" Henderson snapped angrily then to this then. "His ankle got stuck between two rocks, we had to dislodge it to get him free." Walker said and they and Gordon nodded sternly then. "At least it's not a bloody snake, but this was a real emergency, but there it is, the fan was busted right now. He's half frozen, hypothermic shock." the nurse said sternly and they all nodded to the news then.
"That and a rapid cooling effect, his fan shorted out, and he suffered rapid cooling from the helium, that could kill him!" Parker snapped and he and Barnes nodded in shocked fury at that remark. "Possibly didn't short out on purpose, his fan was sabotaged and possibly his cord with it. If you never jumped in when you did, he'd be dead right now, Karen, guys." Hoffman said sternly, checking him over, as they turned him on his side then.
"Daniel easy buddy, slow your breathing down, you're back on board." Jackson said and Stone turned around. "There's why alright, there's a puncture in the god damn hose, someone cut his cord." she snapped and they nodded in fury at that. "Just wait till he relaxes, but he's needing what our book selves decided, warmth. And rest, for a few hours, but she finally just snapped right now." Jackson said sternly and he nodded then.
"Crazed jealousy, they refuse to share him, and here's another example, if they can't have him, then no one can." Hoffman said sternly and she ran her hand through Daniel's hair gently. "Move Eric, Brandon." She said to them, as she sedated him, as he relaxed, though he was still shivering."Shh, just rest son." Hoffman said and nodded to Stone then. "He's passed out here, infirmary, now." Stone said and he nodded, as they moved him there.
"Brandon, I saw this on the radio, she was talking to O'neill, and I heard this." he said and turned it on. "Sir it's been months, since he left right now, I tried again and again to talk to him about this, he's still refusing. To consider going back to the SGC, he's happy here right now." they heard and she paled, realizing in her frame of mind then, she was as much a threat to him as Jack was right now, as they heard Jack's response then gently.
"Then we have to do something, claim after the accident, that being a navy seal is just not for him, he's better off in the Air Force." he said and then heard it then. "I can try right now, but I get caught, we're going to jail for this." she said and he nodded. "I realize that, but without him, it's worse than jail, if we walk onto a planet. And when they're there." he said and Hoffman crossed his arms sternly as he answered to that then.
"And you got caught alright you little brats, you're being committed for another 10 months for trying to kill my officer." he said and she started shaking in fear, realizing this meant another trip back under Hancock. As every time she never let go, they kept sending her back to him. "And where's Tom when we need him right now, he just threw these guys to the wolves, and he becomes the movie exactly." Barnes said sternly to the remark.
"Contact George, tell him, we caught them red handed, she was on the radio, just hours prior to his turn for the drop off. And we found his equipment sabotaged, we just wait for her to return." Hoffman said and he nodded sternly, as he went to do that, as Henderson said it. "Eric, I need some help here, once he comes too, after passing out, and before we got him up here, as he lost two hours here in his memories right now."
"And switching locations here." Henderson said and he nodded. "Good thing you're the fatherly psychiatrist, he bonded to you a little too tightly, choosing out 8 doctors. That he chose you and only you could get him to relax, if not Carson, he has you. Now, right now, Dave, but first O'neill's sexual assault, and now her, who's next." he said and Henderson nodded gently, as they got him out of his clothes, into bed and wrapped up then.
"It just got worse, look at this, Brandon." Stone said, untying his boots and removing his left boot and they saw his ankle swollen. and red from the sock up and Gordon nodded in fury. "That's why he collapsed, it's either he sprained it or dislocated it." Jackson said sternly as he removed his sock, and saw it black and purple and at angle they knew immediately now. "Dislocated ankle that said rock you told him to watch out for, he got stuck in it."
"Trying to wrench free from it, the weight of the pack ripped his ankle out and dislocated it then, and dislocated his ankle. Alright I'm putting his legs out for 96 hours, and we just keep close to him in the galley. When he confronts her rapid cooling effect, dislocation, then we deal with her, just stick close to him. He's not getting on that ankle, till he's passed the danger zone." he said sternly and they nodded.
"Stick close as this is going to hurt right now, as I get it back into place." She said and they nodded, as he carefully popped the ankle back, into place then. As the pain suddenly became too much and he turned on his side, and Stone snapped his fingers. And they nodded, and he injected the dose into his leg and she massaged it into his knee and Hoffman said it gently. "Easy, easy baby, shh, it's okay, I know it hurts." he said, as after it took hold.
They wrapped his ankle, and got him into a set of thermal p.j.'s. "I think the hallucinations took total control, or better after he said the fears of Shyla's kingdom. It completely destroyed their minds, they're going to anyway possible here. To bring him back now, but not a chance, George and I terminated his records. And with the Air Force then, desperation to protect themselves to the point of murder." Hoffman said and he nodded.
"Dave, I'm staying with them, he's as close to me, as he is to the guys and Teal'C, so the 4 of us are staying with Daniel till he's ready to return to duty right now. But this was a real weak attempt right now, at trying to sabotage him right now. Being a Naval personnel, we knew what to do after being on board this ship for the past year." Stone said and he nodded, as they, Alexander and Collins were in the infirmary with him then.
As they stayed close, waiting for him to wake up, before he woke up 2 hours later with a jerk. "Shh, shh, shh, easy baby, easy, it's okay, it's okay, it's the fan in your suit short circuited, shh, it's okay, it's okay, you're safe now." Hoffman said softly, as his eyes opened. "Uncle Brandon?" he said weakly and he said it soothingly. "Shh it's okay, it's me, you're safe now, just rest, going to be okay." he said, rubbing his shoulder to calm him.
"How long have I been asleep exactly?" he asked and he smiled paternally."Couple of hours, found the problem, and we're getting it fixed right now, but that's no more. In going out of the habitat for you now that way, you're better off by doing the subs now. What's the last thing you remember, baby?" he said gently and he nodded. "I was doing drop off as normal, and she said she would be…., where is she exactly right now."
"She did it again right now!" he said, in realization and quickly tried to sit up then, but he forced him back down as Walker hold him down, after they covered him with several blankets, as he was too weak to get off the bed, 'There it is, he's furious at her, and we just saved his life right now, that once again we were ready for this. In proving we're more his team mates then she is, we always had his back.' they heard gently to that response.
And in Jackson's mental voice then, before hearing the answering response in Hoffman's mental voice. 'Shh, whoa, whoa easy, easy baby, easy, it's okay it's okay, just relax, you need to be in bed right now, till you can get up now.'they heard gently to him then, as Collins and Walker hung on to his legs."Easy, easy baby, just take easy, it's okay, it's okay." Hoffman said gripping his arms, as they held him flat, as he was shivering from the cold.
"I thought maybe she was with you." he said and he nodded. "Where is she? Where is she?" he asked as they waited a few hours 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. "She tell you she was going out?" he asked 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." Jackson 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." Hoffman 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?" Jackson said sternly and he nodded.
"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 Stone looking over her shoulder at Jackson sand he shook her head. "Cupboards are loaded, plenty of food in the fridge, she snapped." She 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. "Well even 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 talking, knowing this was about to get hectic then, 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 Jackson 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 Hoffman 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 Hoffman as Henderson, too, was another psychiatrist.
"I'm telling you, I was standing here, and this food was not here." she said, shaking in fear and Stone 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 Jackson finished that.
"Calling Captain Carter, calling Captain Sam Carter, please return to reality." Jackson 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 Jackson 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.
"Even if we did, we had the right mind, not to abuse the power, the way the NID did, Carter, as such right now, is this is not about us, it's about you. In fact it's always been about you, claim you're stronger then a civilian, and yet you ignore it. In the most basic guidelines, and get slapped with the penalty, all because. It's you never exercise, in common sense, you know the brass said no drinking on duty right now."
"But you're just not equipped to handle being underwater, or out in space, a spaceship for days on end, you need to be strong, both physically and mentally. He spent the last year training in the rigors of being in both, both physically. And mentally and mastered it, but look at you, 2 weeks, and you crack right now." Stone said sternly to her then and she swallowed hard at that remark, realizing they all mastered the power already.
"Did you go in there or not, as with your frame of mind, you're dangerous to yourself, and to us?!" Jackson said and she swallowed hard, as Hoffman switched out and returned to himself, as he took on being Henderson, and injected the sternest tone possible. With a patient that was beyond the point of desperation, acting like a beyond violent and dangerous person. In military officers, throwing everything he had into it, like he had being a virologist then.
"That what we have here, after that stunt, and the squid attack is the actions of a violent, driven to the brink of desperation, act. What have we got to do right now exactly, manifesting that power, with your frame of mind. Is a bomb waiting to go off, and one that we're getting off this ship, before you kill us. And everyone on board, did you forget already right now young lady, we have 30,000 people on board this ship."
"The habitat is connected to the battle bridge, which is connected to the saucer section, you're dangerous, to yourself and to all of us right now. That enough is enough, you just proved to me your desperation over Aramis is still the full frontal. And of your mind, and enough that anger is a time bomb waiting to go off!" Hoffman said sternly, as he ended it on that, taking on Henderson's tone, as sternly as possible to Jack.
"Get to quarters and stay there, you're under house arrest till further notice, till the timer is up." he said and she nodded shaking, realizing she was now screwed as she left the room. "Yeah you better be afraid, you know we know what you're doing and you're facing being committed, but not a relapse, they're still holding onto that psychosis. They could be anywhere, anything could be tanked by the elixir, her mind snapped." Hammond said sternly to this then.
"Something's wrong, I'm not liking this one bit, this is too easy." Shanks said and they nodded then. "Agreed right now, we have to decode that real translation. And once done, we have to report to the admiral we can use the radio and talk to them. We just can't get out, but if this like an alien computer virus." Jackson said to him then. "She doesn't read Crichton or Verne, Twain and Stevenson." Shanks said and he nodded.
As they both turned to the book, she left on the table, and he checked it, and saw it then, seeing it empty, before turning to the cabinet. 'Matching the movie scene by scene, if Cam is saying to stop calling her that…' they heard, and he grabbed the book and charged up to the control room, to have another go at the entity, as Hoffman tried to get answers. "What isn't Sam telling me here? I know you're there, Cam, what's inside the Sphere, Cam?"
"Cam, I know you're there. You're always there." he said to her as he read it out."Sam is reading this book Sphere. What makes me nervous is that after page 178..." he said, paging through it. "It's all blank pages, Sam's upstairs sitting in the cafeteria reading blank pages. Why? Why did she go into the Sphere and come out like this? Why? Why? Why, Cam? Why is this book half a book, Cam? Why? What's going on here exactly."
"Cam? Why, Cam? Why? Why? Why? No response." he asked and he turns back to pg.178, as he exchanged looks with Walker. "She translated the code, I have to refine it now." Jackson said and he nodded, as Stone came running in. "She set the same explosives from the book, I just disabled them, how you guys doing here." she said and he nodded then sternly. "Looking into it." he said and she nodded, as she went to check on Shanks then.
As he and Walker ran through it a second time. "So, it's 'g' being one spiraling out from the center and 2 is 'b', that means that h' is 3 and 4 then is 'y'." he said and Walker nodded as he rewrote it, and then wrote out, his eyes narrowing in anger. 'Hello how are you, I am fine, what is your name, my name is Sam.'. putting the pen down. And Hoffman leaned back, grabbing her file. "Fears of jellyfish, squid and water." Jackson said to this sternly.
"Screw the spherical touch here, numbers to letters, we get this." Shanks said sternly and Hoffman nodded in agreement. "Alright, so final analysis here, you reconfigured the coding to a normal letters to numbers and rewrote the code. She's taking inspiration from the movie, and you knew she's not reading Crichton, well dead man walking here." Hammond said and he nodded, as Jackson rewrote the entire keyboard, and applied it to normal mathematics.
"She told me here, a few of her childhood traumas, everything attacking us is connected to this, her fears are manifesting into what's attacking us. But I'm not rattled enough to go back right now, though how did the god damn symbiote. Now, get out exactly, I mean Edina is the SGC district, and the symbiote came from there. It got manifested right out of the lab, a squid this size, she's afraid of squid after one."
"Nearly drowned her when they were scuba diving, when we were 13, the next time their family tried to head to the beach, was on Honolulu. And she got stung by a man 'o war, so she hates going to the beach, it's like, to her. The beach is evil and then the very last time was after going to Calais, and Calais matches the earthling version. Of it being directly on the coastline." Shanks said and Hoffman nodded, slamming his hand.
And on her file. "Frankie said she saw the one that attacked me, just disappear right in front of her." he said and they both nodded sternly. "At least you never dislocated your ankle, but this is still too much, this is why we created holodecks. So we can train to face our fears, her fears, if this keeps up, is going to destroy the ship. And kill the entire manifest, we have to erase the power from her mind." Jackson said sternly to this.
"Attacked and nearly drowned by squid as a child, she got stung by a couple jelly fish during a family trip, altogether. As aside from drinking and bathing in it, she hates being in the open ocean, to her, she hates the water." he said slowly and he nodded. "If she hates being on the open ocean, why is she here exactly." Hoffman said, and Shanks nodded sternly and as he circled jellyfish, water and symbiotes then, on her fears then.
"That wasn't a sea snake, that startled him, it was a symbiote." Jackson said and he nodded sternly. "That was in the god damn genetics lab up in the base, how the hell did it get out there exactly, answer, she manifested it right out of the lab. Psychology reports said her biggest fears are jellyfish and going into the open ocean. And now we have symbiotes appearing outside the containment field we kept them in, and nearly."
"Nearly now, killing him, as he was 3/4's frozen, after being out there." he said and he nodded. "Danny get some rest, and the duo and I are doing the rest of this." he said and Shanks nodded, as he left them alone now, as he went to her, and explained what he figured out then finally. "He makes it real for you, he makes it real for me...he has made it real for everybody, it's really frightening because you don't know whether it's really real."
"Or whether he's made it real for us to believe it's real, and it's because of the Sphere, in trying to understand here, why one of the situations. That is happening so far, was symbiotes, rather then snakes, I finally realized it here now. She's manifesting memories of when they captured two larva, and the fully grown one. That Hathor would have implanted her with." he said to her and she nodded sternly to the news then.
"Our Sam... our Sam is Cam?" she repeated and he nodded. "Come on, Karen, I'm just as tired as you are. Come on, I know you can get this, okay? Here." he said as he hands her a copy of Sphere. "Sam said she couldn't get past page 187 because she said it was too scary, okay." he said and she nodded. "If there's nothing on the pages, where's the rest of the book." she asked, paging through it. "Read what's on page 187." he said to her then.
"According to calculations of some naturalists, one of these animals, only six feet long, would have tentacles twenty-seven feet long. That would make a formidable monster." She read out and looked up. "Yes and what does Sam hate exactly here, Daniel knows her likes and dislikes better then we do. And yet a fast test, after Rosie made some fresh calamari?" he asked and she nodded. "Squid." she said to that remark then.
"And when she read that, it scared her. Getting the picture? Do you remember when all those jellyfish attacked, before Eric woke up now What was Sam doing?" he asked and she nodded. "Sleeping." she said and he nodded. "She was dreaming, and this is the really wild part - what she dreamed..." he started to say and she finished it. "Happened." she said and he nodded. "It happened." he said and she nodded, as she carefully read it out.
"That's why she came now, she's trying to prevent us from manifesting a world where Daniel was never part of the baseline program, and placing his clone. As his twin brother, in his place, Karen." Jackson said and she nodded in shocked fury then. "You're telling me that because Sam went inside the Sphere, she now has the power. Just to manifest her dreams, her fantasies, her emotions, her fears." she said sternly to that.
"Manifest, she manifested it..., she made it happen." he said and she nodded sternly then. "Daniel just explained it to me, back in 1975, she and her family were on a swimming trip, when her father was on down time. And she got snagged by a squid, said that nearly drowned her." Jackson said and he nodded sternly. "And that's a normal sized one now, but ones this big, she manifested a big one." he said and she nodded to news firmly.
"Well, we'd better not piss her off." she said and he nodded, as he, Stone and Hoffman were still figuring things out. "She's losing control of the power, in fact these powers are becoming addictive, that she can't control herself now. It's like an E-ticket ride for Harry's subconscious, it's the wildest ride you could imagine. It's the ultimate acting out, it's not that different when you're a child, a child when it imagines something."
"Thinks that it's real, but it's not, but in Sam's case it is, it's in fact so real that it's not only real to Sam it's real to all of us. And what I can't understand is that ever since he went in the Sphere, the Sphere has some kind of power. That projects every subconscious thought that Sam has, out to the computer. It prints it out, and we interact with it, we thought it was Cam, it's not Cam, it's Sam. Sam's Cam now."
"I'm willing to bet here, is two fold now, half is total jealousy, look at how much we accomplished in 18 months, gathering technology. That makes the world a better place, as the power plants are shut down. We have naquada to create more reactors and the naquada reactors are replacing the power plants. We have a way to destroy pollution, without it destroying the environment, we have ways to arrest patients."
"Said so violent that they need to be in isolation, and 3 dozen other things, so 1 an inferiority complex and 2), her fears are symbiotes. And if we heard a scream yesterday, she manifested Aramis, and he cornered her in the bedroom. She's losing control of the power, to the point she's a threat to us and herself." Jackson said and she nodded sternly then. "Does Sam know this?" she asked and he shook his head then firmly.
"If she did now, then it's wanting us know they're trying to scare him back to the SGC, but after hearing the radio conversation between her and O'neill. I'm willing to bet now her subconscious is acting without her realizing it." he said and Hoffman nodded in agreement. "No, and what I don't understand is that you went in The Sphere and nothing happened here." he said and she nodded then as she answered him then firmly.
"Obviously I didn't and why would I attack a team mate, we're that loyal to each other, then again just trying to scare her. Is the only option, it's not her manifesting these things, but me, I'm trying to scare her out of here. Before her anger at her not following direct orders destroyed her life now, kills us. Us, Daniel and the entire manifest." she said and he nodded. "That I understand, me too." Jackson said to her then.
"I was so angry at her, her attitude towards him, this cold blooded cruelty, he's just beginning to get over it, I wanted her to be scared, after what she did to him." she said and Hoffman nodded, knowing the duo were getting so overly protective of Daniel. They weren't allowing the NID to hurt him anymore now, if that meant if scare tactics never worked. Then, manifesting his existence out of the base program would now, as he answered her gently.
"Yeah if that's not big brother and sister nothing ever is, you took it upon yourselves to scare her out of here, by manifesting everything that she was afraid of." Hammond said in understanding and he nodded. "Agreed, he's looking like he did after getting thrown out of the gate, that and the following morning after we saw him. Looking like he was recovering from a stab wound, and we reached our limit, if scare tactics won't work, then a stand off will now."
"But enough is enough right now." Haden said sternly and she nodded in agreement. "Maybe you had a right to be." he said and she smiled gently, knowing he wasn't angry at her way of trying to scare her off, before she killed Daniel. "Thanks." she said and he nodded as he looks at her. "I don't know about you, Brandon, but I don't feel like dying down here, not after 20 years of doing this, I'm not dying doing what I love." she said and he nodded.
"We don't have to kill her, we just have to find something to put her under, right? So she's in some kind of deep, unconscious sleep." he said to her then and she nodded. "Dreamless sleep, I hope." she said and he nodded "A dreamless sleep, yes. How do we do that?" he asked and she smiled. "Well, I've got a bunch of drugs up there, in my medical kit, in case of emergencies here." she said and Jackson hid a laugh at that.
"Fancy that." Hoffman said with a bemused smile as they headed for the medical lab, and checked her EMT equipment bag in drugs. "Okay so Diphenyl paralene." he said and she nodded. "Burns." she said and he nodded. "After getting electrocuted one too many times that I understand." Jackson said and he nodded. "Ephedrine hydrochloride." he said and she said it bemused. "That's the dramamine." Pulaski said and Hoffman nodded gently then.
"Motion sickness." she said and he nodded. "Valdomet." he said reading the next one annd Stone explained it. "Ulcers. You might want to keep that one, considering you concern over him and his own powers." she said and he nodded. "Sintag." he asked and she nodded. "Sintag is a synthetic opiate. It's a painkiller, I might want to keep that one, because this is about to result in some severe injuries." she said and he nodded then.
"What about Parasolutrine?" Jackson said and she and Hoffman smiled. "Really? I've got paracin trichloride - that's an anesthetic." she said and he nodded. "What do you do, combine it?" he said and she nodded, as she pulled out a syringe. "Huh, huh. If you've got 20 cc's of this one, 6 of this one, you're in business. Eric after we get her in there, diable the outward mental powers buffer, no getting out." she said carefully then to him.
As she was tapping bottles with it then, as they headed for the control room, they found Shanks there, checking the feed then, as she squeezed his shoulder. "Better stay off that leg, you need to rest right now." she said and he nodded, as she sits at the monitors next to him then while Hoffman and Jackson stands close. "Come on! Come on! Come on!" she said as they see the code forming then and Daniel nodded. "Here we go." she said and he nodded smiling.
"WEATHER CONDITIONS NORMAL SURFACE SUPPORT VESSELS RETURN. ETA: 16:00:00 hours Then the 16:00:00 begins to count down..." he said, tapping in a count down from there and she nodded smiling sternly. "Weather conditions normal replacement teams for follow support return, ready and away to relieve. Apone unit ready and awaiting to pick up where Henderson team left off', 16 hours and we're out of here."
"Admiral give us 24 hours, sedation of SGC member, is required and furthered sedation in the secondary decompression chamber. Lost control of mental powers, and is a danger to herself and others, and we're going to sedation here. And before leaving as of this moment, as we're finishing the required repair work. And after sedating her and ready for pull out after." she said and heard a stern tone enter the next code then.
"That's fine Lieutenant, if she refuses to take it, we're going to aerolization of sedation, and remove anything that could be used to stay awake. That's including the emergency fire mask." he said and they nodded, as they put the final minutes into their plan into action. "Daniel stay here with Eric, and Karen call her to the lab, pretend you just dissected that symbiote." Hoffman said and they nodded gently, as she left it on the table.
"Sam, it's Karen could you meet me at the lab, please? Sam, can you meet me at the lab, please? I want to show you something. Sam!" she said into the radio and Sam went to see what this was about, not noticing that Hoffman, dressed in entirely in black to blend in with the shadows, as she entered the room and saw a notepad was left on the table then. "Karen?" she said and there on on the table, sat a hypodermic needle filled with fluid, then finally.
As he closes the door, and spins the wheel, and barricades it shut as she hears the click behind him and turns to see that the door shut. "Colonel?" she said in shock, as he quickly charged back to the control room as at the same time, struggling not to panic, she tries to figure a way out. "What are you doing, Colonel, why are you locking me in here? Colonel!" she said quickly as she looks around the lab and sees jars full of liquid on shelves as he says it firmly.
"Sam! Sam! Up here...up here, Sam, it's me, Daniel. I'm up here." he said and she said it shaking. "Why aren't you here? Why am I talking to you like this." she said and Stone explained that. "I'm talking to you from the video room, Sam, listen to me. Turn around. Turn around and look on the table." she said to her and Sam turns around and sees a hypodermic needle on the table, and went pale, realizing her own fears resulted in this.
"Do you see the hypodermic needle, Sam?" She asked and she nodded. "Yeah." she said and she said it carefully then. "I want you to inject yourself, Sam." she said to her and she looked up. "What?!" she said shaking and she said it. "Sam, you're manifesting your fears. The snakes, or rather the symbiotes, the symbiotes were you." she said, and Hoffman typed in aerolization sedatives in medical lab, and Sam said it quickly in fear at that remark.
"Why would the snakes have anything to do with me? I didn't go inside The Sphere." she said and Daniel nodded. "Oh really, want to tell me why you were screaming earlier, as Uncle Brandon said, you're thinking everything is tanked. They could be anywhere, and now your fears manifest Aramis in the bedroom with you. Before those symbiotes are manifesting right out of the water tank." Daniel said and she went pale then to that.
"Then how did the snakes get there, Sam?" she said to her then and she said it shaking then. "Maybe the symbiotes that you harvested escaped the lab, they are smart?" she said and Jackson crossed his arms. "In symbiote form they can't get out of the lab, unless they jump into someone, you know that, so that leaves one explanation. The powers manifested them right out of the lab, and since he swore off system lord planets."
"That leaves you right now, so pick up the needle and inject yourself." she said to her then sternly and she said it quickly. "I'm telling you, I didn't go in the Sphere." she said and Daniel confronted her over the radio. "Then care to explain why we're finding animals in the area around the habitat. Said that never climb higher then 1,000ft, or how could they escape Edina." he asked and she went white, realizing he knew everything about this.
"Obviously you went in the Sphere, Sam." she said to her and she said it quickly. "If I went in the Sphere I would have told you now." she said to her then. "No but you remembered the argument, I manifest myself out of existence. When in the program at the base and you have no way to protect yourself now." Daniel said and Stone interrupted what was about to become an ongoing argument now, in whereabouts then.
"If you don't use the hypodermic needle, we're going to have to defend ourselves and the manifest here from you, you already proven your desperation is dangerous. But thqt power in a completely unpredictable person, you mind is not equipped. And to handle it like our's is, but Sam, don't make me do this, I don't want to do this. Just take it and we can leave, the lockdown is close." she said and she said it quickly then.
"I didn't manifest anything. I didn't manifest anything...I didn't manifest anything." she said and Daniel nodded. "She blacked it out, like Goodman, but Goodman was the jellyfish, Addams the squid." he said and he nodded as he pointed at Jackson, as he started removing the air room from the room. "Why does it say that its low level? Why are you taking the oxygen out?" she said, before paling, realizing she never saw this movie now.
And what they were doing was knocking her unconscious, till the timer ran out. "Karen, why are you taking the gas out of the room? Karen? It's my air..." she started to say and suddenly the jar burst and she jumped in shock at the explosion them. "Think it through: Whose childhood fears were the jellyfish? Remember, Sam... remember?" she said and Sam started shaking, realizing the jellyfish were matching the ones that attacked her as a kid.
"Yes, but…, but anyone could be afraid of jellyfish, Karen." she said, realizing this was why they created holodecks, facing their fears, till their fears never got to them anymore then. "Sam, look at your wrists, remember when you told me about getting burned you're manifesting fire, Sam...you're manifesting jellyfish. The squid was also you now, all of it, but everything is you, isn't it possible that you went inside the Sphere here."
"And you just don't remember." Daniel said and Sam said it desperately then. "Karen, you would've seen it on the video." she said and Hoffman said it sternly. "The video blanked out and you were gone for two hours. So, where were you, Sam?" he said sternly to her and she swallowed hard at the remark then as she said it. "Your logic is screwy, okay. Because if I'd gone in the Sphere, I would have been different when I came out."
"I'd have been strange like Harry." she said and as water started appearing on the floor and she shouted it out. "What's with this water!" she said and Stone said it firmly."Sam, you're manifesting this room flooding, water is your fear, Sam, you said. You hadn't been in the water since you were a kid, Sam just, inject yourself with the hypodermic needle." she said and they nodded. "There's why we create panic rooms." Hoffman said and he nodded.
"Yeah the holodeck can be used to help us face our fears, as we do this, mine are really inclosed spaces, and acrophobia, but otherwise I'm fine. Her, before the start of the job started, she was afraid of squid and jellyfish, after getting electrocuted. And one to many times, was the fire and electrical burns, and now she's afraid of symbiotes here. That and being drugged on a mission, anything could drugged, Aramis could be anywhere." Daniel said and he nodded then gently.
