Stargate Atlantis Trading Grounds I: The Return To La Rochelle
Warnings: With this chapter it gives a surprise look at what happened after the trilogy, in the Mighty Ducks movies, as instead of them being destroyed. And falling apart, Bombay quits the offer here, at the Goodwill Games and trains the next generation. As the pre academy unit in Atlantic City, is none other then the Minneapolis Mighty Ducks. Movie 3, and both sides of the team combine together as one now here finally.
As Wesley Crusher becomes the best of friends with the team, and he and his unit join forces with them their entire team and give the Hawks, who are the Edina Hawks. From the movie trilogy, a real run for their money now, as the year goes by, as the teams at the academy are created in the added sports now, as the years go by here. Taking on the names of the Districts, the Atlantic City Knights and Edina Red Hawks.
But if anyone noticed here in the continued references to the movie script of Sphere, the story is going to follow some of it, but changes in other areas. And this story on Sphere, is going to be book 3 of the 6 part series I'm creating now. Basing it from now, to end of Season 5, and instead of dead, Daniel's going to be training to be a Q. And like season 6 showed, only 3 of the 22 episodes, has him with the trio, the others.
He's there at the SGA, Daniel's clone, turned twin brother ascended and Daniel is at the SGA, making his powers stronger. As the last episode unlocked his potential completely, though by doing that, everything that came with it. Starts coming out in visions, till they reach my other story, of the Past and Present series. Till the final shot results now here in the 5 years he spent, on board the enterprise, there in Antarctica.
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 141: New Futures And Fresh Starts VII: Time's Arrow and Recovery VII
"Captain Apone, our team is in place to take over, so go topside, we'll take over from here, thanks for all your help. And see you in a couple weeks, we'll let you know what we find out now." she said and knew they nodded, as they prepared to get ready then. "You remember how to work the equipment?" Daniel asked and Sam nodded. "Alright here, 7 go in, ladies you stay here, watch us." Henderson said and the duo nodded gently then.
"Split into two teams or we won't cover the territory otherwise, so Daniel, you're with me and Karen, Samantha, you go with Dave, and the guys." he said and she sighed and nodded. 'Not happy, as once again she wants to talk to him about this, I don't think so, as he's never going back right now.' They heard then sternly to this then, as they went into the changing room and got into uniform then, as he looked between them gently at that.
"What if I have to go to the bathroom?"Sam asked and Walker hid a smile. "Just go down your leg, Sam."he said and she looked at him. "Really? You can urinate in these?" she asked and he nodded. "You can, question is, would you want to?" he said and she nodded, as Daniel was standing next to Parker, with a smile and she nudged him and he grinned at her. As they were crowded around the pool. "I'll take point." Daniel said and Barnes nodded then.
As he tapped his light and she checked her helmet. "Where's the switch?" Sam asked, before finding it and nodded. "Okay, let's go, I'm coming after you." Parker said and Daniel nodded, as he signaled he was going first and jumped in, as he landed on the rocky bottom then, as they came in after him then, as Henderson gave the read out. "Alright, Queenie, we're at 1,022ft, ambient temperature here at 34, heading out north, north west."
"Three thirty, it's a firm bottom, intermittent coral here." he read out and she nodded then. "Hey, Daniel. You know, a space launch costs a hundred million dollars. You could come down here once a day every day for fifty years for that. The ocean is the oldest living environment...so much older than the land. And yet we don't know anything about it, as of yet." she said and he nodded smiling as he lead them forward.
"How do you do this every day, it's freezing down here." Sam said, knowing though wearing these suits, it was still freezing cold. "Deep sea diving is an art to the most skilled, but the ship's base is 700ft right above us right now. This is normal to me, because I grew up with this, in truth, I couldn't get enough, it's safer, less dangerous. Then being in the base program ever was, and saying of which."he said, nodding to the door.
"Oh, my God!" she said in amazement to this "Look at the size of that thing." he said and Daniel nodded, as he looked straight up. "The make and model matches an alkesh, here, it's an alkesh the size of a hatak vessel." he said and Henderson nodded gently. "That's the troop carrier?"Barnes asked and he nodded. "Yeah and the damn things have enough room for 2,000 troops." he said to him and they both nodded in understanding then gently.
"Looks like a skeleton crew, whoever was doing the driving must have thought doing a slingshot maneuver around the gravitational well was a good idea. But the acceleration over shot the mark and shot them back 62 years." Alexander said and Daniel nodded. "You see that tunnel..., we go there, that's the heart of darkness." he said and Sam nodded, as she looked at the layout then as they entered the tunneling system then.
"We're in the coral pipe now, approaching the airlock." Henderson said and Fletcher nodded then to report then. " I'm feeling pressure in my ears, is that normal?"Sam asked and Parker said it. "Just use your equalizer." She said gently and Sam adjusts his equipment. "A little better." She said and she smiled then. "You know, the most toxic creatures on earth live down here. The venom of a land animal is nothing by comparison."
"Even the weakest sea snake is in veritably lethal, if this was the pacific ocean." She said and she said it bemused. "Is that supposed to make me feel good, Karen?"She said to that. "Airlock's in sight now." Henderson said and Alexander, examining things nodded. "This thing is enormous." he said and Daniel nodded "This is our airlock. It'll take us from a wet to a dry environment. We're assuming the inside of the ship is sealed."
Entering the Airlock one by one then, they switched over to the room being drained of water as they checked the probe they were talking then. "Alright. What's happening here guys?" Fletcher said gently to this. "Yeah, maybe it's the hydraulics. The pressure messes everything up at this depth." he said and Daniel nodded. "Time for a demonstration in basic physics, gentlemen." he said and carefully whacked on the door then gently at that.
As Walker goes to the door and bangs on it, before seeing it. "Hey Daniel what are these ships made of exactly?" he asked and he explained that. "Nezenat powder, it's used in creating the frame work for the ships in the system lord fleets, why." he said and Henderson nodded. "What is it, Eric?" he said and nodded. "Take a look. It's chipped." he said and Sam nods as the others gather around them. "Stolen ship." Daniel said to that news.
"It's chipped. So what?" Sam said and he looked at her. "Sam watch the attitude, she's a Lieutenant Commander and she and Eric are my seconds here. Start getting rude and it's calling insubordination charges right now." Daniel said and she paled. "And to get back to the matter at hand on said question now, if this framework. Is so strong, you think you would adapt it, made impenetrable." Barnes said and she swallowed hard.
"I thought you said there was no damage taken unless blown up on the inside. That this trinium mineral framework was so super-strong, there was no way you could hurt it." Walker said and she nodded. "I did." she said and Daniel nodded. "But it gets chipped just from some scientist whacking on it with a hammer. But it looks like your R wasn't more thorough in building this thing, I'd say this is a bigger version right now."
"And of your retrofitting project right now?" he said to her then. "Hold up a second right now, because it's looking the engine is still on." Parker said and moved to the door then. "Is there heat coming off this thing, or is it just happy to see me?" he said and Daniel pulled the rifle version of the intar off his shoulder. "Get away from there, Karen, back up." Barnes said and she moved back slightly. "Just a minute." Sam said, touching it carefully then.
And before he grabbed her to keep from checking it. "I mean get back now, get back!" Barnes says as he yanks Sam roughly and shoves her aside, angry, she glares at him. But before she could answer they hear a click and Barnes unstraps a intar from his shoulder as the door opens, revealing blackness inside and Daniel pointed it. "Is anyone else here wondering here who the hell opened the door?" Walker said firmly and Daniel nodded in agreement
"Yeah, I'd like to know who hit the button too." Fletcher said in response and the cat mewed in agreement then. "Goldie, seat, not desk, stay off the keyboard." she said and he mewed a second time. "We got the cat in the control room if you said that, Queenie?" Henderson said and she looked down and Collins tried to keep from laughing. "Yeah he's got his paws on the desk, trying to keep an eye on you." she said and he nodded, smiling.
"Who's pressing buttons here exactly, did I not just say curiosity killed the cat?" Daniel said and the team nodded. "Meow." they heard over the radio and tried to keep from laughing. "No Goldie, I mean curiosity in us humanoid cats, leads to an injury if you're pressing squares and circles, not knowing what they do exactly. And someone just unlocked door here to let us in." he said and they got a second in response to that remark gently.
"Agreed and how did that happen?" Alexander asked and they nodded. "I'm not sure about the atmosphere, helmets stay on, if the exhaust is shooting out carbon monoxide."Henderson said and they nodded to the orders. "We come in peace." Alexander said and Walker exchanged smiles with him. "I always wanted to say that." he said to him and he nodded smiling as Daniel went in then as he looked around then gently at that.
Looking around then they're checking the area now, before Parker freezes up. "Somebody's been here." she said and Walker looked at her. "What?" he said and she nodded. "Yeah, there's footsteps, and they ain't ours, looks like nobody died on impact." she said and he nodded. "What do you say, Daniel: Time to turn back?" he asked and Daniel shook his head. "I'm a little curious here right now." he said and Sam looked at him in shock then.
"Daniel." she started to say and he said it sternly. "We're not pulling out, we just started, this is recon and determining threats, we have no idea who is on board this ship. That 2) Who's the more reliable to know this right now exactly at the moment here. And when this thing could be carrying a bunch of enemy jaffa, rather now. Then humanoid troops, or just a case here now, of this being a convict transport right now on truth."
"You been out of military action right now for 11 months Lieutenant, I'm not likely to shoot the first person we come into contact with. You remember you nearly shot a group of Jaffa monks during your first trip through. Directly after nearly killing Skaara and his friends." he said sternly to her at that attitude and she flinched, knowing that was a bad decision, she made a bad first impression on him after seeing him for the first time.
In 24 years now, as Henderson ended the argument gently then. "Let's break up into two squads, we'll never cover the ground otherwise." Henderson said and she repeated that in shock then quickly at that remark. "Split up?" she said and Alexander nodded. "He's got a point here right now. We've got maybe a half- hour of gas left. So two teams is best right now and a Jedi for both teams here." he said and Barnes nodded in agreement.
"Ted, Sam and Harry, you come with me, Daniel Karen and Brand stick together. Come on." he said and Walker nodded "I think the people who built this place would call that divide and conquer." he said to him and Daniel nodded. "Whoever built this thing wanted us dead, we'd be dead already, personal experience, keep from getting shot." he said and Walker nodded in agreement, as he pulled his lightsaber out and Daniel the same then.
As they saw the frame work and realizing they came in through the engineering room. "Brand' we came in through the engineering room, it over taxed the engine. Although the reactor is still working here, their's is a matching version to our's here. But the chips are replaced by crystals, they ripped off a system lord engineering design here now." Barnes said gently and Henderson nodded, as the quartet checked over the everything then.
As they went exploring then. "Yeah thought so, in the crash, they reactivated the engines, everything is still working, keeping the heat and engine replicators running. For food and water, fresh air now, and they breathe oxygen." Daniel said, and pulled out a concentration device. "The engines never over heated, in fact these engines are made from naquada generators or crystals, looks like they enhanced and mixed them."
"Let's see if we can find the cockpit." he said and Henderson nodded in agreement, as they went up. "So what was that exactly?" she said and he explained that. "She's in shock I could ever enjoy this right now and more then going into the Cartouche. But I gave it up for Sarah right now, but it's not that, it's she's still desperate here. To protect herself, and from going back into Shyla's kingdom, but my remark on pressure now."
"She's realizing I never forgave her after she delayed till the last damn minute and lost Sha're two years ago, furthering the search for another year. Which essentially meant trying to take her alive was not an option at the time, but I quit now. And as a result here, which is why I just told her that, who in their right minds here now. In truth would ever put up being the real or verbal punching bag of a bunch of jarheads."
"Naming off the parameters they all paled, as instead of falling down, it's falling up and dying, because your lungs will burst at this level now. But she's being overly cautious here now and frankly, she still seems me as a civilian here. And sees I'm the crazy one, but when I'm not acting like I know everything here. She's big fish out in an even deeper pool here, and one thinking she knows everything here now."
"But she's cheating here, so the exchange in engineering and aeronautics is resulting in an age pissing match, as she hears that Ted and Eric. They got their PH.D.'s by 20 she got her's at 21." he said and she nodded. "Yeah like you had son, you gained your's at 18 exactly, you couldn't get enough of this and the ending results here. Said are resulting in doing digging, but she needs to control her competitiveness here now."
"You boys had never been closer, you're the best of friends, Karen loves you like a brother." Henderson said and he nodded, as they kept going, at the same time the quartet were checking their side. "Looks like someone left the damn light on here, because with water this cold it's taking more time to keep the room warm." Alexander said and he nodded, as he checked his tank. "Twenty five minutes." he added to Barnes then gently.
As they checked out the system as he saw the old fashioned mechanisms then. "Look at this, Harry: cross-stress bracing for the outer hull. Tremendous support along all axes. This is interesting, this material, strong and soft at the same time: like better than rubber, better than steel." he said and Walker chuckled and nodded at the remark and she looked at him. "You seem to know a lot about this." she said in amazement and he nodded gently.
"Yeah, I, uh, studied aeronautical engineering at M.I.T., before getting into the diving teams now, isn't that where you got your Ph.D., guys?" he asked and they both nodded. "Where I got mine: All three of them." he said and Walker nodded gently. "I hated M.I.T." he said to him then and Alexander nodded. "Envy?" he asked and he nodded then. "Puberty." he said and she looked at him. "Puberty? How old?" she asked and he nodded then gently.
"First Ph.D, eighteen." he said and she nodded in annoyance, realizing these 2 out matched her skills in everything. "Damn! One year, Eric. You beat me by one year, Eric." she said and he nodded. "Like Danny would say here, just because you're very good, doesn't mean you're always right, we been doing this for years now. You're a beginner now, you need to stop being so competitive." Barnes said sternly to her at that remark then.
"Let's push on." he said to him as she looks around for a place to sit. "God, they didn't tell you how heavy these things were out of water." she said as Alexander looked down then, as he finds a box, as he brushes the silt off the top. "Come here, look at this!" he said and she, Barnes and Harry join him. "'Trash/Basura'?" he said and they exchanged shocked looks as at the same time, the trio found their way to cockpit and what seems to be a leather chair.
As he presses the disengage switch, while Henderson is checking records, they hear a scream and he turns. "Jesus!" he said and Henderson nodded. "Oh my God!" he said in shock to this then, as Parker examines the body carefully. "Jesus! It's human." she said and he nodded. "I'd say the poor soul got stuck this thing, or someone killed him in his sleep, he must have been on watch, and someone killed him." Daniel said gentlu and she nodded then.
"Yeah you can see by the direction that the fracture runs, that he was hit in the back of the head." she said and he nodded in agreement. "What's in his hand?" Henderson said and she shook her hand. "I don't know." she said to him then, and Daniel takes a small package from the skeleton's hand. "What is it?" she said and he read the label. "Smokehouse almonds, only one country eats these?" he said, knowing what just happened in the weeks.
That they been working a bridge down to them and they nodded then as they look at each other a beat. "My God: it's an American spaceship." she said to this, and he nodded, as they exchange a look as they absorb this stunning revelation. "It can't be an American spaceship, it's 62 years old, by this point we had colonies all over the galaxy over the last year. But 62 years into the future, we're colonizing abandoned planets here now."
"Who are you people exactly." Henderson said sternly and he nodded, as he turned his light to the name tag. Cpt. J. Hanson Jr.. "Jared Hanson Jr., Captain Jared Hanson Jr., the SGC department, this is one of their's. Jared Hanson Jr. or Senior now is District 6, this is a District 6 spaceship, they're the jock headed version of SGC officers. And I failed their grandfathers, in training, they washed out of my training academy, and got sent."
"Now, to SGC, but Jack is their hero and they refused to believe what I revealed in the tape recording, well this is generation 2 now. They must have been collecting technology this way, the latest one resulted. And in them crashing the ship, after losing control." Daniel said and she nodded as Henderson checked logs then firmly at that news. "Well, it can't be, but it is." she said gently and Henderson nodded as he answered her.
"Okay, okay: Let's see if there's some kind of flight recorder or data computer that we can ring up a flight history." he said and she nodded and went to flight records. "Alright. Look at this. Okay, good. Here we go." she said and he nodded, as they saw the dates then. FLIGHT DATA ENTRIES FDS 01/01/63-12/31/62 FDS 01/01/63-12/31/61, before seeing one marked-UNKNOWN ENTRY EVENT. "Look at the dates, that can't be." he said to her then.
"It could be. It could be 2043 or 2063, I don't know which one is weirder." she said and he nodded gently then. 'Unknown Entry Event'? Press that." he said and she looked at him. "Are you sure?" she asked and he nodded. "Yes." he said and Parker presses the console at "Unknown Entry Event, as they see a sort of hologram created all around them. As they streak through a galaxy, stars and planets all around them, and Daniel nodded gently to this then.
They feel like they're falling into outer space. "Traveling around the galaxy for the last 62 years, after the gate stopped being used for military search and retrieval. They created this bird to continue stealing from the races and…" he started to say and then saw what was in the middle of the screen, a black spot. "Oh my god, you idiot, turn around, you're heading straight into it!" he said sharply, knowing what it was immediately then.
As it started getting bigger, the closer they got to it, before suddenly having a white cluster in the middle of it, before the upsurge threw them across space, and it stopped. "Man what a headrush." he said and they both nodded, in amazement. "Alright so this bird took an unexpected wrong turn through the rings of Saturn, and flew down the gullet. And of that a blackhole, next question is what they pick up." Henderson said and he nodded.
"This is Barnes, Brand?" Barnes said gently and Parker, Daniel and Henderson and exchange a look. "Yes, I can hear you: I can't explain it, but I think we're inside an American spacecraft." he said and they heard a bemused smile in his voice. "It gets better." he said and he shook his head. "This is enough and plenty for me for one day." he said and she and Daniel nodded, as they head for where the trio are and see a bronze ball the size of a 'gate.
The Sphere, a giant metal ball with an iridescent surface, ten meters across, is held suspended by a giant claw-like apparatus in one of the forward bays. Something mesmerizing about it... The team approaches. "What the hell is it?" Alexander said and Daniel nodded then gently. "Different color but the parameters match up, I can't think of anything else it could be, alien technology yes, but mental strength of character." he said and they nodded.
"Whatever it is, it seems to be what this bird was designed to do. Go out into space and gather things like this up and bring it back. Looks to me this was stolen off a race planet, or better the continuum now and brought back." Barnes said and Alexander nodded gently. "Yeah...but back from where exactly, we're still searching for their point of origin?" he said gently and Daniel nodded gently in agreement to that opinion at that.
"Don't get too excited, Ted, we turn it over and it'll proabably say, 'Made in Korea.'." he said and Daniel chuckled as he said it with a bemused smile "Somehow I doubt that, Eric." he said to him and they nodded. "No doors, no hinges of any kind..." Barnes said and Walker nodded. "Mental test, you unlock something in your head, it unlocks a way into it, but if this follows the same parameters, don't over do it." he said and Daniel nodded.
"Where's Carter?" Daniel said and he smiled. "I sent her back to the ship to report in, so she doesn't realize what we're about to do here. Change the past now, create you a twin brother and your brother is her archeologist, you stay here with us." Barnes said and he nodded, smiling. "Looks like she realized despite the frequent arguing between you, you're not budging and decided to tell Jackson." Henderson said to him then gently.
"I bet if you put a laser micrometer on this you'd find it's a perfect sphere, I mean a perfect sphere, down to a thousandth of an inch. That's a message in itself, perfection in cosmology." Alexander said and they looked at him then. "Really." he said and Barnes nodded in agreement. "What do you mean?" he asked him and he nodded then gently. "Well when Pope Benedict asked Giotto for a drawing to prove his worth as an artist now."
"Giotto drew a perfect circle, freehand, perfection is a powerful message." he said and they nodded. "Well I know what the Zen or Jedi masters would say." she said gently and he looked at her. "What's that?" Walker asked her gently then. "This ball wants to be caught." she said and he nodded. "If Kinsey saw this thing, the thinking is the same as the 'gate, it's a Pandora's box, get control of it." Daniel said sternly and he nodded then.
"Nobody built a thing like this, looking into their third eye, Karen, in fact, they went to a lot of trouble and they didn't do it for nothing. Must be a mental test of strength, allow it to control you and do some questionable decisions. Or you control it and make the planet a better place, something put it out there. To get picked up and brought back: Are you forgetting the Trojan Horse, could be a trap." he said and she smiled.
"That sounds a little paranoid, don't you think, Dave?" Alexander asked him then gently. "Paranoia is a disease, fear is useful, defense is basic, down to the simplest one cell organism: Us/Them. And frankly, I have a right to be cautious, she's dangerous, not the sphere, but Carter." he said and he nodded gently. "We'll leave a video camera here, keep an eye on it, but nothing reckless for now." Henderson said and he nodded then.
"Can I ask you something about this reflective surface." He said and they nodded then. "Yeah it appears to be made of mercury doesn't it, except mercury is a liquid at this temperature." he said to him then. "No. That's not what I'm talking about, what worries me is that it's reflecting everything, but us." he said and they all froze. "Yeah this is matching the movie in analysis now." Daniel said and he nodded gently as he said it then.
"We keep this up, it's going scene by scene throughout the movie the rest of the trip down here." Henderson said and they nodded in agreement. "Mew?" they heard and he chuckled. "Yeah big dark gold ball, could be useful for creating things, only it's meant to protect all us two legged kittens and cats. And not just kittens or cats from a single country, from bad clouds, and noisy weapons." he said and said it to the quintet gently.
"I hate to be the one non-scientist who picks this up, guys. You know what I mean?" he said and the team nodded. "What do you think it is?" he asked and Daniel nodded. "I think Q over charged the damn thing, with the powers." he said and he nodded. "I don't know, I'm not sure of that, whatever it is, it's alien, yes, but who now. Is the next question." he said, running his hand down the side of it and they nodded smiling then gently
"There's that and next question here is see it to be, not want it to be, he said make the world a better place, see it to be a source of fixing our problems. The problems the UN doesn't have time for, so we consider that right now, finish the And and take out the commies now, as we do everything earth doesn't have time for here." Daniel said and they nodded, as it jumped forward to the analysis then, as they were talking gently then.
"Well that's really good right now, we're going over this as it jumps forward, with you being that good and better at analysis now. She starts realizing why is she even here, when we have you, you and Rodney, you're the best at what you do. But you're not a particle physicist, and not likely to use your knowledge to build anything dangerous." Daniel said and Alexander nodded. "We bounce ideas off each other here after 11 months now." he said and he nodded gently.
"Yeah that and she is doing all our arguments here, but none of us are likely to start with the jealousies we been together way too long. And you like being able to get involved without a fight breaking out as she starts to realize here. She's not so smart that, no man can't out think her here right now in truth." Parker said and Daniel nodded. "Well that should be an interesting fight, she's jealous, you have it all figured out." he said and Alexander chuckled and nodded.
As they see themselves settled into the galley talking, as they were having lunch, where the team, now in their blue sweats, confers over hot coffee as Levy bakes something in the oven. "An American spacecraft: materials and technology more advanced than anything we know of, crashes into the ocean." he said and Sam looked at him. "If it crashed how come it's not damaged?" she asked him and he nodded to her gently then at that question.
"The materials are obviously superstrong, you guys said it yourself, that trinium material is so strong is can hold against a crash landing." he said and she nodded then. "If that's the case, how come the door chipped just from you banging on it?" she asked and he nodded. "One month in salt water it starts corroding from that and this temperature, but they crashed a month ago." he said and she nodded in aggravation then
And as she said it then. "Yeah she's seeing as our team expert now, in multiple Ph.D.'s now, she's starting to see that why do we need her. You had it all figured out right now, that 1) salt water after a month starts corroding metal like this, 2) there is only one way we have it. Now showing up out of the blue, said is the sling shot maneuver over charged the engines. That 3) instead of getting too close to a gas giant, it flew into a blackhole." Parker said to him then.
"From where?" she asked him then and he smiled. "Not from where, from when." he said to her and she nodded. "So, you're saying, this thing took a wrong turn?" she asked and he nodded to her. "Yes, that's right, what if the craft inadvertently flew into a black hole, it arrived in our past from its present. What about those dates you saw on the flight recorder, guys." he said and Henderson nodded gently as he answered him then.
"That's '61, '63." he said to him then. "That's right. That has to be 2061 and 2063, that image that you told me you saw on the monitor. From what you describe that sounds exactly like a black hole..., a tear in the space..." he started to say and she stood up then "We know what a black hole is, Ted." She said and Henderson looked at Daniel. "I don't know what a black hole is, I'm psychiatry, not astronomy." he said and Daniel smiled.
"They had a tough time explaining this to dad, after a blackhole formed not far from 451, last year, but a black hole is a collapsed dead star. That has so much gravity it acts like a huge vacuum cleaner, sucking everything into it. Uh light, interstellar dust, time..." he said and Alexander nodded in agreement. "Yeah 5 minutes, becomes 6 hours, when that close to the damn thing." Walker said and she sighed at that remark then.
"Time." he said in agreement. "It's possible, but not plausible." she said and he shook his head. "No, I'd say the plausible became probable after it crashlanded on our doorstep here, as it's more than probable, it's rudimentary astrophysics. We just haven't been able to fly into one and prove it." he said and that did it, as she stood up. "Well, Ted, sounds like you've got this all figured out." She said and left the room in a huff then.
"Anyone consider jealousy here, we can use the gravitational well to run a slingshot maneuver and put enough speed to keep from getting sucked in." Daniel asked and Alexander nodded in agreement then. "Yes that and she's seeing you, as young men, can figure it out faster then she can. But this is Kynthia and the sarcophagus all over again, young lady grow up." Levy said sternly and Henderson nodded in agreement sternly.
As they watched as message types out gently then: "ADMIRAL HADEN HAS LEARNED SGC CIVILIANS AT SATURATED DEPTHS. AND DEMANDS THEY BE SENT TOPSIDE IMMEDIATELY." he read to himself and looked up. "Yeah good idea, get her out of here, before this turns into another injury waiting to happen, and she returns topside now. We stay down here and do this ourselves." Walker said and they nodded in agreement to that opinion then.
As Barnes reads message, crumples it into a ball and throws it away, then types a response. "I'm willing to bet Teeny was taping that conversation so we know why she left during his shift." Collins said and Henderson nodded in agreement to that opinion. "Yeah that and after 3 weeks of continually discussing this and his firm refusal, before taking it to the sparring ring. And beating the crap out of the putties, he had enough of this." Walker said sternly to this then.
"COULD NOT DE-CODE LAST MESSAGE. TRANSMISSION SCRAMBLED. PLEASE RE-SEND." he said typing back in response "BLIZZARD DUE 0800 HOURS. GALE FORCE CONDITIONS AND SOUTHEAST SWELLS OF SNOW TOPSIDE. CONTACT TEAM MUST EVACUATE TWO HOURS OR REMAIN HABITAT FOR DURATION OF STORM. OSSA." he read and nodded. "Damn it, well there goes our study." he said and headed for the galley.
"Brand, message came down, they're expecting a level one blizzard, topside, they're yanking us out." he said and Henderson nodded gently. "Putting it to a vote, we stay or leave now." he said and Barnes nodded. "Guys can I have your attention please." he said and the quintet turned to him. "Well, I just got off the horn topside: Expecting a bad blow-up there, they're pulling us out." he said and Alexander nodded gently to him then.
"Level 4 blizzard huh, typical here, we're in the middle of summer here up there and it's still enough to trigger hurricane style blizzards outside." Daniel said and he chuckled and nodded. "Yep and the ship is strong enough to withstand it, but us, we're safely down here till it blows over right now, so like during being on Pacific during a hurricane same thing here." he said and Daniel nodded, as he answered him then gently.
"They give us a choice here right now?" he asked and they nodded. "Yeah and we can for the duration of the storm or we leave now, and hand it to the Finnegan unit." Henderson said and he nodded. "I vote stay, we're just getting started, why stop the research, I barely get started, before they stop it." Daniel said and Alexander nodded. "Agreed, stay here, we just barely scratched the surface." he said and they nodded.
"Just a more enhanced version of training, we mastered the others, and now we see how well we master this in what side effects, Eric." Daniel said and Walker nodded in agreement to his opinion. "Agreed here right now, the ability to manifest our hopes and dreams now, making the world a better place. Erase the pollution, deforestation and famine from the planet, technology that does just that, it's worth the risk here."
"Right now, see it to he, see it to be an enormous amount of good in the world, want it to be, want it to be used for military intelligence now. She's too young, so we see how well she does, in making decisions, you and I had 11 months training. Now, that in truth here at the moment, it's case of seeing what their feeble minds. Now would do with that power, it's like any normal advanced technology." he said and Daniel nodded.
"Here's why I was so ticked off, guys, she voted without asking me how I felt about it, and then taking mental control away from me, the control factor. She could have killed 75 to 85 people, Eric, in addition to Jedi, we're animagi. You're a deep chocolate brown wolf, me I'm golden brown, what happens if we were real werewolves?" he asked and Levy covered her eyes. "It's a killing spree." Renfro said sternly and he nodded.
"Exactly here, we become real werewolves, it's a slaughter waiting to happen, but this is what happens when you get between the patient and the medical doctor. With that serum in the patient's body, I set them up, instead of them setting me up." he said and Walker smiled. "Young lady, you should have thought, before acting, you never know when your target of persecution can out think you." Barnes said, smiling sternly at that.
"Never let her live that down since then, huh?" Parker asked and he nodded. "Yeah that and she lied right to dad's face, but she never knew this, I was raised in medical. And psychiatry now, knowing she in truth lied to me right now, I was furious at her. My remark during the obstacle was meant to underline this, why couldn't she say it. Why couldn't she tell me, when it means my entire life, and now I'm expecting father."
"If Sarah gets it next, with my being an expecting father, or the father of a going on 3 year old and instead of the father is the mother. That disappeared, that baby is wondering what did he do to have his mother leave. When is mommy come home, I miss mommy, I want mommy, though that happens and it's her head." he said and she swallowed hard, knowing he meant it then, he was making sure she got the consequences.
"She is a cold blooded little tramp here." Collins said sternly and she went pale at that. "We get why right now, but if this, in truth, is the same woman the girls and I let have it. 11 months ago, and heads are going to roll right now, you maybe healed physically. But you are no where near mentally, just the thought of being near these bastards. And you get sick, PTSD never quit now." Alexander said and she went pale, never realizing that.
"She knows, she just doesn't care, to her, her safety matters more then my own health, I said no, god knows how many times, and she still won't leave it alone." he said and Walker crossed his arms and she swallowed hard. "Uh huh, and if you have a reaction during the confrontation, and she leaves. And during your shift to drop off the tapes, she doesn't realize how far gone your PTSD is in being around those bastards."
"You can show me that reason here later at another time, but trapped between two things, you're not going back and we're all against them. After the way they treated you, how would they like it, if you withhold the most important information to them." she said and he nodded. "I know and I said the same thing, but they see that's not the point, seeing it as I become a tyrant, because I had enough of their crap right now."
"Not caring if they want to kill themselves, then the hell with it, anyway here, here's what happened." he said and showed them the tape deck. "After you were that brutal in honesty, she does an end run around you now, goes straight to the boss. And you out rank her, by 2 ranks, you're medical, not command, arrogant much." Will said sternly and she swallowed hard, realizing she, because she was the daughter of a two star, did think that right now then.
That she could do anything she wanted and he made it clear she couldn't now, by bashing her direct opinion then by upstaging her. "What are you saying Captain, as it seems to me to what they done to nurse him back to health. Said is combined with the effects of the technology, and enough it's not done healing the damage. That if 5 doses can cause this, it's clear his body is not done healing yet, though he's practically buzzing here."
"And with energy, and we all know energy drinks do to a person, and with them, nutritional milkshakes, you could be blowing this out of proportion. Or is this you're furious he did the research on order of the medical and psychiatric teams. This could just be connected to the monetary amount he brought back and abandoned you. And there in the mines." he said and the duo jerked at the stern jab, and she tried to say it then.
"Hold on, he had orders to do the research, why didn't anyone tell us that?" Jack said and he crossed his arms. "Covert operations, you were never meant to know, Colonel, this was between him, Teal'C, me, the quintet, his cub quartet. Jerry, Jake, and the president, and you're trying throw him to the wolves, right now. Simply because it's effects make you brutally honest." he said and they started shaking in fear at that news.
Now realizing he knew what they were trying to do. "His remark on 'little research', he meant that literally, they asked for a detailed research battery on the technology. And with it, find anything worth trade here, and we're bringing in a medical score. Said worth over 895 octillion and it's enough to create some interesting side effects. But I don't see that as a reason to report him, when you insulted him and the princess."
"As all she was doing was helping him with the research, Anna was standing there, listening to entire exchange, she explained everything to me. And it may have been cruel, but he was right, you should, at this age be married. And with two children young lady, your father wants you to settle down. As he just told you our opinion, no matter how cruel it sounded, you insulted him and he threw it back at you now."
"So no, I'm not having him confined, simply because he told you the truth, however brutally honest it maybe then." he said and they both paled at that, as she tried to find an excuse to keep him from leaving. "Sir, I think he needs to be confined, he is clearly addicted to the effects…." she started to say, and he cut in. "I could see this as an attempted by the NID, they really willing to kill 75 people, to get out of scrutiny."
"Because the effects of that serum, if what Pyrus told me was true, it's not the sarcophagus, but the control serum for medical arrests. That could turn him into a feral wolf, and he could go on a rampage, till the timer wears off." he said sternly to her as, Daniel walks in and sets some papers on Hammond's desk. "Uh huh yeah I see it, her arrogance, because Carter is a 2, borderline 3, is very telling." Walker said to this then.
"What's this?" he asked him gently and Daniel explained that, as Henderson nodded sternly then, smiling and they smiled then gently. "Briar Patch metaphor, it's forcing them to hold you there, and you shove them so far into scrutiny, there's no getting out of that hole." he said and they went white in fear, realizing they all been tricked, Daniel used reverse psychology. And they played along so beautifully then, they were trapped under scrutiny, no matter what they said.
"Reverse psychology, you been around us far too long to spot a way to shove them into that hole right now, but this is ingenius now in truth here." he said and Daniel smiled and she swallowed hard then, realizing he knew she was likely to attempt this then. "It's my resignation, dad, Sanderson reassigned me, they're, after going back. Sending me to the quintet, to make trade, the duo's snatchers, Lord Andre and Madam Nichole."
"The drugs altogether create a life span, of double normal human, the drugs. They are created with a sarcophagus in mind, as we're too young to actually harness that effect, the medical department went to the next best thing, go to the person, that did it before. Pyrus himself, I promised to return and I'm keeping that promise." he said and Hammond nodded smiling gently then and they heard Jack's panicked tone then.
"Oh, please." he said and Henderson crossed his arms, and Daniel went further. "General, I respectfully request permission to go through the gate to P3R-636. There's a side effect to the arrest serum, I don't make it back, before the timer gives out. Someone's going to get hurt here right now, it's like throwing a wolf amongst the sheep. A slaughter waiting to happen, so please." he said and Hammond nodded gently then.
"Request denied!" Jack snapped and Daniel immediately snapped off at him then. "Shut up, I wasn't asking you, I've been reassigned, only the general has the right. To make the decision to let me leave, why are you so desperate to keep me here exactly. As I said, I could send you home, and continue with the trade deal." he said and they both went white, and Hammond crossed his arms, and he stopped it on that and Henderson nodded.
"Uh huh, yeah I see it alright, no you and their plan never works, she's converted completely here right now, no you and she's scared that she'll walk back in there. But them, it's to get our attention off them for once, by sabotaging your reputation, but nice try, we're not falling for it. And with that, Vance we need him under our care, they're desperate to the point here, of attempted murder of dozens of officers, to prove they're sane." MacGregor said sternly to that.
"Point taken here right now, she's command, you're medical, so medical out ranks the command any day of the week now. And you had orders by a quartet of medical 3 stars to go back in, along with two psychiatric two and 3 stars. There is no over ruling that right now, so she screwed up and gets blasted with the consequences. Issues in the job, it's the same old story young lady, grow up." Barnes said and she flinched then.
"Born medical, supposedly raised command, but returned to my birthrite now, she can't over rule it, not when dad is a two star command. And you, my family, are medical and psychiatric Captains up to 4 stars here." he said and Henderson smiled in affection then. "Trained you a little too well baby, but that's the you I raised, you never changed at all, you just grew up now, but she screwed up big time, so with that now."
"Guys, how about you then?" Henderson said and Walker and Parker nodded. "Yeah stay here alright, why stop the research, as the military in the SGC stop it. And once we get to the good part, we stay to finish out." Walker said and Henderson nodded gently. "If we find anything else down here, better triple the locks on the wetpool. Only authorized personnel." he said and Barnes nodded as he left and they exchanged delight smiles then.
"You guys just talk theory, and where is Carter?" he asked and Daniel shrugged then. "I'm not sure: she decided to stay out of this, but after repeated attempts to convince me to come back right now. And the fact we got a face time link to the continental US and Jack was just released from the hospital…." he said and they nodded. "Alright that leaves my only consensus here, knowing her state of mind." Levy said to him then.
"Agreed, whoever goes outside is a clone, in case we got a more dangerous one out and about or better." Walker said to him. "I'm not liking the sound of that, we'll check the playback after everything settles down." Henderson said and Daniel nodded smiling, as he left the room and sent a message back then, at that gently as he said as he wrote. "Although advised of risks, all personnel elect to remain down for duration of storm."
"In order to continue investigation, going to, in whoever does goes in, is staying in quarantine till training is complete. However decision was made in the absence of said SGC arrival now, but repeater of bad decision making now. Commander Jackson is still holding over her, despite his more advanced knowledge of the situation. Her reckless behavior that nearly slaughtered 85 people in Sierra Gulf Charlie two years ago."
"By holding him hostage, and forcing detox, without listening to his explanation, Generals Carson and Hammond never let it go. So Jackson decided the same thing here, as we see how the isolations gets to her. Till he calls mental instability, we're carefully working out a steadfast training regime as whoever goes in first. Needs to train to control new abilities now." he wrote down and a second message came out then.
'Understood, Captain Carter is in training to understand the dangers of rash decisions, if this follows the same line, after his demo. And of if the orders never make sense now, so any going into artifact. Then are under quarantine for the duration of storm, to get their new abilities under control, logistics will beam in supplies as needed. But otherwise, all infected personnel using artifact are to remain in isolation till abilities.'
'Are controlled and not suffering megalomaniacal tendencies, protocols are there to insure enforced restraint here on powers, in Ancient born. If extension of Ancient powers, further training is needed to control them.'." they read and nodded. "Message received and understood, team will remain in quarantine till all training is complete now." Henderson said gently and Barnes nodded in agreement to the decision then firmly.
"Get ready for the confrontation here, Uncle Dave, you knew me longer, but 22 years I'm still cub me in your eyes." Daniel said and they nodded smiling. "Yep, 13 year old you trapped in your adult body, my baby boy." he said, squeezing his shoulders gently and he smiled. "Just remind her here of said decision, this is the very same thing, she voted to hold me on the base, without asking me how I felt about it, and it nearly kills now."
"In 75 to 85 people, what if I had my powers then, and became a real werewolf, the pain is excruciating, it took everything I had. Just to keep from attacking anyone for real, only the people that got in my way. And of my heading for the nearest elevator, were injured, I needed sunlight, I was getting sunlight, so back off." he said and they nodded. "Loss of vitamin D, in severe amounts hmm, okay." he said and he nodded.
"Good thing we got a sunroom you can get a nice tan that way, down here." Barnes said smiling and he nodded, as he wrote that down. "Here's my research of the sarcophagus technology, you, like the teams, needed a research battery. See if we could synthesize drugs, but no go and you went to the next best thing." he said and Henderson nodded then. "Going straight to Shyla for an alliance." he said, smiling gently then at this then.
As Sam hearing the decision, froze in shock, and charged up to the Barnes's office then. "I understand the orders came through, and you made the decision without asking. In how I felt about it." She asked and he crossed his arms. "You weren't there at the meeting young lady, you chose to not get involved here. So yes, the decision was to stay here till the storm blows over." he said and she said it angrily then at that news.
"So now what, we're staying put down here?" she said and he nodded. "Would it have made a difference here if you were there, you voted. Without asking him how he feels about it now, and not even listening to him now, about the side effects. The ending results are you nearly killed 75 to 85 people in the base, well this is the same thing. Making decisions on his health and well being without asking his input for it now."
"Don't remember me young lady, Commander Dave H. Barnes, next in command of the diving team, we met last year. He calls me Uncle Dave now, while Brand is Uncle Brandon to him now, family friends. In coming to get him, Louis, Jared, Davie and Annie came with, along with Teal'C. Before 3/4's of the command came with right now, and 1/2 the command returned to base, the other half stayed here now."
"As they, like the anthropology then being in constant war zones now, but David, when around us, went by his cub name of Davie now." he said and she froze at the memory, realizing finally who this man was. "Why are you asking me that question exactly young lady, is this, instead of a cave, is you're trapped in an underwater building?" he asked and she paled. "You're claustrophobic, is that it." he asked and swallowed hard.
At that as she heard it behind her. "Young lady, you need to get it through your head, that just because you're the daughter of a two star now. That doesn't mean you can do anything you want, you, like everyone else who is the child of 2 to 3 star. Has to follow orders, you're not entitled anymore then they are right now, in truth. And with it here, if not involved in the decision making, that doesn't mean throwing a hissy fit now."
"Just because you don't get your way, claiming we been brainwashed or replaced." he said sternly and she swallowed hard then. "Decided to get the drop on her Danny, before she does it again?" he added gently and she went white at that then. "Well I can characterize that response as 'aw shit, not again!'." Parker said smiling and Daniel nodded. "Yeah Uncle Dave, but Lieutenant he's right, I'm medical, you're command, I outrank you here."
"Back to this again Sam, huh, you're trying to find some reason to leave, just like you were trying to find some way to keep me on the base, and ran the clock out. It's a wonder you never killed anyone, but Teal'C thrown across the room, Frasier now. With a near broken shoulder, two men knocked unconscious, and Jack nearly eats a bullet. What if I had my phasing powers then huh…" he said sternly and she went white, realizing.
That she was never living that decision down. "Indeed and I agree with him, but a young wolf cub, in side a 33 year old body, you just think you know best. But an experienced diver knows, when the weather gets dangerous upstairs, it's safer down here. As we wait for it to blow over, and Daniel knows this from experience here now. As he was the first to vote to stay here and we all agreed one by one." he said and she swallowed.
"I probably should have mentioned that, she can handle being underground with a solid rock beneath her feet right now, not underwater and nor this deep." Daniel said, coming in behind her and he nodded. "Excuse me Captain, I'm next in command, Brandon's in charge." he said and she nodded. "Everything's going to be fine, Sam." he said and she said it. "How much oxygen do we have left?" she asked him firmly at that.
"The storm'll only last 72 hours, at the outside, four days, there's plenty of oxygen, barring any unforeseen situations, what exactly is your point?" he asked and she said it then. "If you were doing your job instead of fuddling around here like some middle-aged man who's lost his keys. We'd all be breathing fresh air right now instead of worrying about how much oxygen." she said and he crossed his arms at the remark.
"You forget who you're talking to young lady, as 1) I'm your superior, and 2) I'm no older then your father." he said and she froze in fear at that. "Yeah double whammy there, I know better, we maybe the same rank, but you, Dr. Patterson. And mom are parental age, to my age group, so parent and as I would have said here. As my age group, barring unforeseen consequences here, was more polite, and she's being beyond rude." he said and she went white.
And in fear at that. "For someone who's worried about oxygen, you sure are using it up." he said sternly to her and she froze. "I know you're not with O.S.S.A, you're doing a good job of pretending, turning dials. And flipping switches, but you don't know one end of a rudder from the other. We're all counting on you like you know something about how to get us back safely, or even care." she said to him then and he said it.
"Then I guess you just figured out everything huh, throwing accusations, every time the orders never make sense, and you weren't there. When we put it to a vote, were you talking to him, knowing you get caught. Then you're ending up back in that hospital, after he too just got released on good behavior now. You're on thin ice with the brass ever since you lied to them." Daniel said sternly and she started shaking then.
"Agreed right now, this psychosis on orders never making sense, and we must have been replaced, or you're drugged, is wearing very thin right now. After he diagnosed you two as having solipsism, but this time we put it to a vote. And voted to stay here, after the amount of times, he's just getting started here. And you cut his research short, barely 40 minutes into it." Henderson said sternly, coming in, in time to hear that.
And she swallowed hard at that. "Young lady you think we don't remember your reaction, after we forced the issue in getting him out of there. Your determination to not leave him alone, as your father changed you back. But they're trapped as half human, till they do something to piss off the system lords." he said sternly and she went pale at that, realizing these two men were the Naval officers that relocated him and he was a psychiatrist.
"Carter, you forget a little something in your duffle bag, and how, on return to earth, you never found it, maybe I should tell them both right now. About that something here now, because they, in appearance, match Dustin and Peter exactly. And with it now, your personality's matching Halperin, in her attitude here right now. And you're the one that's been in the hospital the last 11 months." Daniel said and she swallowed.
"You never read the screenplay have you, Sharon came in here, regarding Sam's decision to go in without telling them. And he decided to check her records, only now, why need to do that when Brandon's best friend. Just happens to be Carson, and he's a family friend, this man here, Commander Barnes now. The other member of the team so what happens if I tell them the truth, said bottle, said pills." he said and she paled.
"As I said the team was off the coastline, of every dig my parents were at, keeping us together, he, like Carson, is one of my father's best friend and quartet. Therefore two psychiatrists and a virologist, the rest of the family gang is all mom now. But unfortunately both are skilled in substance abuse now, want to explain this. Because it presents an interesting dilemma, when I said I wasn't going back to Colorado now."
"Why I found 27 missing and then remember what Pyrus told me…." he said and she started shaking in fear. "You wouldn't." she said and he smiled sternly. "Oh wouldn't I, you guys just tried to kill me last year, I had a better life the last 11 months. Then 2.5 years I spent with you, I'm married and I'm an expecting father right now. So why shouldn't I tell them the truth, why I found that many missing, since Jolinar now."
"You know it's funny here right now, try to make me out as suicidal, well you're one to talk now, in both your cases: suicide is a coward's way out. I thought there were no cowards on SG-1." he said and she swallowed hard. "Good point there, if she was member of SG-1 would she try to commit suicide now. And said pills better not be what I'm thinking of, or it's insulin shock therapy next." Henderson said and she paled further.
"You had them?!" she said and in fear and he nodded. "Just to make sure you don't try it, yeah I did, but how do you suppose dad's going to take it now. He already slit his wrist, maybe you should calm down now, and before I decide to tell them. In what you attempted, control yourself, because everyone knows. In why you're still under scrutiny here, and my uncles most of all." he said and they both nodded sternly then.
"Poetic justice isn't it, everytime I don't cooperate with your train of thought you deduce it to Shyla and the sarcophagus. Well how about everytime you never get your way, I can do deduce it to Aramis now to. But do you want this all over the team, or just stop and control your temper here. And because you sound like Jack right now, in not getting your way." he said firmly and she looked at him in shock at the accusation then.
"I know enough not to get killed down here, young lady, but do you." Barnes said sternly to her then and she said it. "Good for you." she said and Barnes gives her a hard look. "Samantha, let me ask you a question, what exactly are your qualifications for being here?" he asked and she froze. "Guess." she said to him then. "Well, I mean Brandon chose Eric: a genius kid from the slums of L.A., in six years he had a Ph.D now."
"Brandon chose Ted: a whiz kid astrophysicist, he chose Danny: a whiz kid carrying 3 PH.D's in three different sciences necessary to handle work with our alien guest. He chosen Karen: a marine biologist carrying in an minor advanced medical training. There's me, I'm the safety officer, making sure everything's working correctly, every position is filled, which makes me wonder here." he said and she started shaking then.
Realizing she got caught, she came to try and talk him into coming back, but he was still refusing right now. "Why are you here? Are you the most qualified in your field, Carson must have thought so. Then again, the report's a few years old, maybe things have changed, are you the most qualified in your field, why you come here exactly." he said and she promptly left the room. "Got you." he said with a stern smile then and they smiled.
"I'll explain later, but knowing her she's never going to leave it alone now, but I know her better then she thinks, but they're being a hypocrite. And you already said this too, after Jack attacked me last year." he said and they nodded sternly. "If someone really wanted to kill themselves they'd get a gun and shoot themselves. Or jump off the bridge, not be sitting there watching tv waiting for the overdose to kick in now."
"Well that's one way to get her to knock it off, this is completely normal to us, but her, she's scared of being trapped in habitat." Henderson said smiling sternly and she swallowed hard then. "Yeah and now the question is where'd she go exactly." he said, before the following morning they got the answer to that question, as hearing the alarms ringing. Daniel went charging to the control room, to find Henderson and Barnes already there at that firmly.
