Stargate Atlantis Trading Grounds I: The Return To La Rochelle
Warnings: I lost another page, so I have to fix this, before I finish the upload right now, as from here it's case of fixing the damage. In the cast, and with it, Nick Ballard makes an appearance, as he sees after 25 years. Daniel found his way back to the command side of the grouping that were trying to over turn his decision then. After Daniel's parents were killed in the accident here now, so from here it changes now.
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. 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 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 side 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 104: New Futures And Fresh Starts X: Time's Arrow and Recovery XII
Avalon I Continued:
"The report just shot back, anyone going in, we're quarantined till we get it under control here, you three and again. Is nobody is doing disappearing act with the powers, your powers are not a play thing, so that's enough of that already." Henderson said and Addison started laughing at that. "What 11 months results in, this is too easy, we knew your and Eric's powers, and the ability to manifest things just came forward."
"So creation of technology that can be just as beneficial as the stuff you traded for right now in all truth." Parker said smiling and Daniel nodded. "Yep, and there's a case of being responsible with the powers, but she loses it during that trip. Just proves she's just not ready for the power, and neither are they now. Our minds after 11 months of this together, that we understand this, advanced technology, like cognitive powers."
"But knowing she joined the state department, before the president disbanded them right now, is that our powers like the technology you collected are not a play thing. But as I said, as Addams now, that if the trip, the team, involves an archeologist, marine biologist, mathematician, astrophysicist and a psychiatrist. Just why is she here exactly, when we already have a astrophysicist?" Walker said and Barnes nodded.
"Well my position was the safety inspector here, it's my job to make sure everything is working correctly and we're safe from danger, Brand's the team leader. But yeah that's good, that's real good right now, just wait for them to create it. In stand alone stories, of your time with our unit, before this episode hexalogy." he said and they nodded in agreement at that. "Agreed." they heard with a meow and chuckled gently then.
"Yeah, just 14 trapped in my adult body, and pick up where we left off." he said and the quartet nodded smiling then. "Queenie, you better clone yourself then go topside." Daniel said and she nodded, as she did it as the next day Sam woke up finally, as things kept up till two days later then. "I'm taking this out to the mini-sub." Fletcher said and Barnes nodded, as he, Alexander and Renfro are writing down the code that appeared on the monitor then.
"Are you up on the duty roster?" he asked and her clone nodded. "Yes, sir." she said and he nodded then. "All right." he said and Sam said it gently then. "Where's she going?" she asked and he said it firmly, as he looked at her then, as Alexander and Renfro working working on the computer then. "It's procedure, everything in the habitat is videoed, every 12 hours we take the video storage to the mini-sub and press the reset button."
"The idea is if something happens to us and we don't reset it the sub goes to the surface automatically. So if we're all dead, they at least have a partial record of what went wrong, cheerful thought, huh?" he said and then said it to Alexander. "Mind the store a minute, I'm going to the head." he said and Alexander nodded then. "Where's the Colonel?" she asked and he said it. "He's helping Eric to control it." he said to her then.
"Jump the attack and we go to our exchange after Queen's death here, as I do the autopsy." Parker said and they nodded, as they went to it. "Side effects to the job, they can handle killing people, their bodies ripped apart, and they get queasy at the side of an autopsy. Go figure, they call explosions and bloodshed excitement, we call it cold blooded murder." Barnes said and Sam swallowed hard, realizing he quit, because what they saw as excitement was murder to him.
"Strange, I never seen a jellyfish like this before, I mean jellyfish like this are unheard, I haven't a clue what this one is. But the Antarctic Jellies are see through with orange undersides, not pinkish with white tentacles. And less then 120 sightings have been made, they never climb up this high either. That whoever went in there, replicated it off the movie." Parker said firmly and he, Daniel and Barnes nodded sternly.
"What's next: Belcher sea-snakes." Coyote said and she nodded. "That or duplicating an adult in goa'uld symbiotes, but since I left, it's been less seeing this things for real. And more looking at real animals right now in total truth here, but a symbiote lives in a temperate climate, not in water minus 35°' Fahrenheit around here." Daniel and they nodded. "That bad?" Alexander asked him and he nodded. "Worse." he said to him then.
"Your guess is as good as mine, Dave, trying to scare Danny up top, but nice try, we're finding species down here you never normally see here." She said and they nodded sternly. "Stop playing with that thing already and by that I mean the sphere, let's keep a straight mind. In truth here that whoever attempts an aggressive attack. And as we all know Eric hates octopi, but another squid attack, a certain someone here now."
"Said is trying to scare him back to CMC right now, not falling for it, she's desperate to protect herself, and tries to claim deepsea diving is just not for him, he should be back with the flyboys, but no, he's a seal and happily on the water here." Henderson said and she and Alexander nodded. "Yep and squid never climb passed their 1,000 meters, and we're 850ft and there's too much light up here to try that. But I wouldn't in truth."
"Now call this a lover's spat, but that she's crazy jealous, and desperate to the point of a class 5 threat here, that repeated attacks by tropical water animals, we know it." she said and the duo nodded sternly. "Well…., in that case, you know it's not me, because I never would attack a team mate that way." Walker said and they sighed in relief. "I'm glad to see you're awake Eric, where's the girls exactly?" Barnes asked and he smiled then.
"Teeny just reported in, she saw Carter in the radio room, talking to someone, possibly O'neill." he said sternly and they all nodded sternly then. "Just in case of emergencies, I sent a clone to run that drop, before the blizzard struck." Barnes said and he nodded. "That's not Queenie, but a clone, well that's a big relief, the team is still intact right now, but that looks replicated off the movie, she never read my record."
"To know, not squid, but octopi here, or we don't get either one coming up to this level for god's sakes." he said and she and Barnes nodded. "I've seen worse, but nobody read it." he said to him then. "Yeah no kidding, but new species, we studied everything worth to study, who did this exactly, a new species to sink her teeth…, into." he said and they all lifted their heads, and Daniel smiled. "Well that helps right now." she said and he nodded.
"Well at the moment I could care less what they want, after she ripped my heart out in delaying till there was no chance of saving Sha're at the moment. But there was no friendship between him and me, not anymore after his crack. But her now, I never should have given her that second chance, but nothing they say. Or do can change what they have done, they've destroyed me themselves." he said and they nodded.
"We know we understand and we swore to this, but you're not going back there, the little brats are going to screw you up permanently and we'd lose you anyway. Just based on everything you told us, about their psychosis, that just tells me. That this continued going into the cartouche, the war with the renegades now. That'll take everything you are, the you we know and love." Walker said and he nodded gently then.
"So what's the call here exactly?" Alexander asked and she said it sternly. "Get her off the damn ship and ship her back to Colorado Springs, but we have to. In truth, start screwing with her head, till the hallucinations now cause her to freak. But she's convinced, no anyone he cares about, and there's nothing holding him anywhere. But to the SGC, so we just start screwing with her head, making her think here now."
"That she's in the clear, till she pulls a stunt, when it's his shift to drop off the tapes now, and we have enough on her to have her shot, with her still unconscious. As once again we go back to the knowing she can't do anything in his case here. Without thinking about herself, as he told us, the psychosis is, if the orders never make sense. The boss has either been replaced, or they been drugged." she said and he smiled sternly.
"And there's my best friend, my sister, you girls know I would do anything to protect you." he said smiling and she smiled as she hugged him tightly as he pressed his forehead to her's. "I know, we know, but you're not her husband, or her boyfriend, she has no right to make it. In decisions, regarding you, and this crossed the line so far down, she might as well be arrested. But what she did was completely illegal." Fletcher said and Sam swallowed hard in fear then.
"Agreed and there it is, but Karen is Thuy, Vala is Karen herself, Sarah is Amy, Queenie is Nakia, and as for me, I'm Jason's new friend, the redhead, and with that, what right does she have to dictate things. You been with us far longer then you were with her, we're your best friends, your family, and she only just came back into your life, 2.5 years ago, so she has no right to say where you get transferred to, who you can be friends with or any other crap along those lines."
"And whatsoever here at the moment, you're a deep sea diving commander, a highly skilled one, and you're not a person we want angry at us at the moment. But in a good mood you're like John, but cross you right now, and you're asking to get it on both barrels." Renfro said and Henderson nodded in understanding as he, Levy, Patterson, Pulaski and Barnes nodded. "She's still holding onto that belief, James let her out too soon." Daniel said and they nodded.
"Well as I swore to this, you're never going back, we're getting her the hell off this ship, because the oversized teltak had a lot of liquid nitrogen. It explodes it's going to destroy everything in 200yd radius of it, but is she willing to kill 1.5 million people. To free herself from this curse, though the admiral used the sarcophagus to free her." Walker said and he nodded. "New skill, there's my idea, new tech." he said and he smiled.
"Uh huh, yeah, a way to keep ourselves entertained, we all read or watched everything. Here in the habitat, a few hundred times, this passed year right now, since Daniel joined in. So imagination, and we come up with new entertainment here." Alexander said and Daniel nodded with a smile then gently. "Yeah that and we're not getting paranoid enough to start attacking each other, but she's clearly trying to scare him."
"And back to Colorado Springs, but if this doesn't work, it's a squid attack next and if we don't get extra medical supplies, so heads up. It's an injury waiting to happen next, right now, so stick together, don't make one target." Walker said sternly and he nodded. "He told us what you and Karen decided, if you said Teeny heard her on the radio with that little bastard, at the moment." Levy said and Walker nodded gently then.
"Yeah I know, but if it means protecting him from those sick bastards, I'm doing whatever it takes, we are doing what it takes. And just to get her readmitted back to Hancock." he said and she, Henderson and Barnes all nodded then. "And I'm going to put up rotary door on the wetpool, double locks, so no coming in that way right now. But if she did what I think right now, keep an eye on her, if she's desperate enough."
"Just to attack the habitat, via the movie right now here." Barnes said sternly and the trio nodded. "And to say it now, who in here exactly is the one screwing around with the hose in the showers, guys." Henderson said and they smiled, as they ended it at that. "Guys we're not teenagers anymore, be careful, before you break something here." Walker said with a bemused smile and the trio nodded then, as we're discussing this at that then.
After a fast discussion then between Daniel, Henderson and himself then, it was that Renfro came up from the floor below. "Commander Barnes would like to see you, Ted." she said and he looked at her then. "Why?" he asked and she said it then. "Something's wrong with the computer, looks like whatever it was that killed Queenie, came back online." she said and he nodded as he went to the A/V room to check on it at that as he got to work.
As he tried to figure it out, but 45 minutes later he was stumped, as he sat there with a pencil in his hand. "Try purging it." Barnes said and he sighed at that. "I tried, it just keeps coming back." he said and Barnes thought it over. "Discharge from the buffer memory?" he asked and he shook his head. "No, I ruled that out, but we been using helium for years, the helium is getting to the chips, it's probably a saturation effect." he said and he sighed.
"If that's the case, then what are our options, then?" he asked and he explained it. "You have to change all the chips." he said and Daniel exchanged looks with Barnes at that news. "Going to be a long week if we have to change the environmental ones." he said and Barnes nodded in agreement. "Run this place on manual: It's going to be a long four days." he said as Walker came in gently at that remark. "Hey, boss." he said to him then.
"Eric." he said and Walker got straight to work. "Ted, you figured that out yet?" he said and he nodded. "It's a saturation effect." he said and he looked at it and then said it bemused. "I don't think so, if it's a saturation effect, it would be random, yeah Brandon, I think the effects kicked in, finally. Being as someone here in between us just had their inner desires trying to send us a message now." he said and Henderson straightened at that.
"What do you mean?" Alexander asked and he nodded. "Well, this has a pattern." he said as he typed in a command, as the single remark finally appeared, as they saw it was being repeated then. "See? It's like a code." he said and Barnes nodded. "Yeah, but a code from where exactly?" he asked, before Alexander shook his head bemused. "How'd you do that?" he said, knowing his best friend was beyond good then to spot it, as Barnes finished it then.
"How'd you see that?" he added and Walker said it to him then. "Try binary." he said and Daniel crossed his arms. "Better yet, check the back up logs, last time this happened we were picking up static interference from the beta gate. After realizing the NID were using it to steal technology from multiple planets 2 year ago." he said and Walker and Alexander both nodded as he did it. "Ah. See? Letter breaks." he said and they nodded then.
"You think this is coming from the sphere?" he said to him then and he sighed. "Don't know." he said and Barnes said it gently to him, in reminder, knowing what was being said was about to result in a case of safety prevention. "This mission is ultra top-secret: What you translate is for my eyes only." he said and he nodded, knowing 'my', meant 'we', in the case of him, Henderson, Sanderson and Haden then gently, as he answered him then gently then.
"If you were it, how would you know our alphabet, same way it's configured on a keyboard." he said and Alexander completed the remark, his mind going at breakneck speed to crack it then, as he remembered their discussion after Daniel threw it Sam's face, that they could get the solution in 20 minutes there at that remark. "But reflected in an orb, spherically, a keyboard, but spherical, take a keyboard wrap it around a sphere."
"Then starting at the center key, G, number the letters that spiraling out." he said and Daniel nodded. "Advanced math codes, how stupid does she think we are, I already uploaded that program after they were arguing with the brass about keeping Daniel at the SGC." He added sternly and Barnes nodded, realizing this was part of a fast program upload and Walker smiled at the remark. "Ted, you the man!" he said and he smiled then in pride.
"Still got it, I still got it, Eric, I still got the juice." he said smiling and Daniel wrote it down himself. "Numbers to letters that advanced math course, that is at the duo's school, numbers to letters." Daniel said and Renfro smiled. "Yeah alright take it easy guys, as this is like Hayden and his friend, in their working out how to reprogram the system." She said and Parker started laughing at that. "So Keyboard." Henderson said to this then.
"All right, Ted, all we got to do now is plug in the numbers." Walker said and they nodded, before a message came across the screen then and they froze in shock as the sentence. Then appeared at this, 'Hello, how are you, I am fine, what is your name, my name is Cam.', as Walker said it carefully to that. "Friends, in the 8000 years of recorded history, this is a first, you're now online with an alien intelligence." he said and Daniel nodded.
"I was expecting a more alien name, Lya, Brenna, Thera or something along those lines, but Cam in girl form is short Carmen or Camryn." he said and Henderson nodded as Barnes answered him. "You got to be kidding, you must've messed up the translation." he said and Walker shook his head. "No I don't think so." he said and he said it then. "Hold on, just where do you wish to be exactly." Daniel asked it then, as he typed it out then.
And a gentle tone came across the screen. "I wish to be with my mate, it's been 3 years, I want to return to Gascony and be with my mate. But for the longest time, since the break up with Jonas, I been put on pause, and the drink unlocked the door. I want to find love and have a life, now that the remote lost control completely of me.' Parker read and they nodded. "Gascony, that's Aramis." Daniel said and Henderson nodded in shock.
"If this is right, this alien sounds like an idiot." Barnes said and then quickly said it to keep from offending the person on the opposite end. "And no offense here to you Mam, but seems to me, now that your host body entered the sphere, you just came out yourself. Then this is easy to tell, because your host is desperate in Daniel's case." he said and knew she nodded to that, as Parker looked up at him with a bemused smile then gently.
"That's something to consider: A stupid alien." She said and he looked at her as she completed the remark. "They must have them." she said and Walker nodded, as he said it to Barnes. "I'll admit that the message is childlike, but actually it's quite perfect: it's short, to the point. Non-threatening, kind of the way you talk to a small child, cat or a dog." he said and their cat meowed in response then. "Yeah cat." he said and they chuckled.
"And Goldie, stay off the keyboard, what are you doing down here, you're supposed to be with Omega right now." Barnes asked and he meowed a second time. "Alright you can stay, just stay off the keyboard please, mental cat is coming us. After screen started acting up at the moment." he said to him then and he meowed a third time, as he sat in Parker's lap in response and she stroked his back fur then, as another message appeared then.
"Look at this." Alexander said and he nodded. "She's making a speech." he said to him then in response, as they saw another one appear. 'I am pleased to be in contact with your entities, I am enjoying this much.'." he read and Barnes nodded as he chuckled, as he went to forward approach then. "Ask her for her last name." he said to him then. "What?" he said and he nodded. "Getting the full name here." Parker said and he nodded in agreement.
"I want a full name for my report, I'm not putting in my report I lost a crew member on a deep-sat expedition to find an alien named Cam, please, 'Cam'." he said and Alexander stepped into the conversation. "Eric, we ought to tell her, that we're enjoying it too." he said and Henderson said it to him then, as a message wrote itself out then. "My last name is Retrac." Parker read out and Daniel nodded as he crossed his arms at the news.
"Retrac is Carter spelled backwards, and Peter said there is no Camryn Carter in the family, that clearly she's arrogant enough to think I would never notice that." he said and she sighed, knowing now, she never had him fooled, he knew her too well not to know this. As Henderson crossed his arms. "Ask her where she's from." he said and Walker nodded as he said it, as he wrote it out. "Where are you from?" he asked her and a new one appeared.
"I make a journey, you make a journey, we make a journey together." he read out and they nodded. "And that doesn't even remotely sound like an alien, more of someone between us, their consciousness is now making moving jokes." Daniel said and they nodded. "Well I think Cam's channeling Deepak Chopra then at the moment, but this is getting ridiculous at the moment." Parker said in response and Walker nodded with a smile.
"A journey from where?" he read out and his eyes narrowed, as the next message came up then, and he froze up then. "From where?" he asked and the next one appeared then. 'I am happy.' they saw and Alexander nodded. "She's happy." he said and Henderson crossed his arms, knowing whoever was doing this, was trying to be deceitful then. "She's crafty." he said to that, knowing soon enough her attitude would start turning dangerous, as it went blank.
"What happened?" Alexander said quickly then. "Damn, I think we lost her." Walker said and Alexander said it carefully. "We're not alone, we are definitely not alone, it's trying to make contact with us." Alexander said to this and he nodded, as his eyes narrowed sternly. "Well whatever it is, it was inside that sphere, now it's out, free to act." he said in finality then. "What do you mean by that?" Alexander asked him, and he explained that.
"Free to take over our computers, free to call us on the phone, free to come over and knock on the door if it wants to." Walker said to him and he nodded. "A physical presence." Alexander said and seeing the look on Henderson's face, Barnes said it concerned. "What are you thinking about, Brand?" Barnes asked and he said it carefully. "That last part where she said, 'I am happy.'." he said and Walker looked at him at that response.
And as he was standing to his left then. "Yeah that's something I'd be worried about, and to complete the sentence here, is she's happy, she can actually force the connection. And drag Carter back to Gascony and she's refusing to do that, as she starts manifesting images. And of Aramis in the bedroom, as we heard the scream and know she finally had a psychotic break. And from reality after being cooped up down there this long." Parker said and he nodded then.
"Don't you want Cam to be happy?" Walker said to him then. "Honestly?" He asked him and he and Barnes nodded. "What's on your mind?" Barnes asked him and he nodded as he explained this. "I would be happy if Cam had no emotions whatsoever, as once you go down that road now." He said and broke it down in why, knowing as a psychiatrist, the I.D. had been without romantic contact so long here, she was about to start turning dangerous.
"Because the thing of it is, here's Cam: an emotional being, cooped up for 5 years with no one to talk to none of the socialization. The emotional growth that comes from contact with other emotional beings..." He said and Barnes nodded as Walker said it for all of them. "So?" Walker said and he nodded as he said it in finality. "What happens if Cam gets mad?" he said carefully, and they exchanged worried looks at the consideration then.
"When she break up with that lunatic?" Daniel asked and Lou crossed his arms. "The week you guys were on Abydos, I just got the news back from the generals and dad. The wedding was called off and we all knew there was part of the catch, one thing. Now, causes guys like this, to snap, one thing, and she breaking off the wedding was it, as next time. That we see him here, he crossed the line between crazy and megalomania now." Lam said and he nodded sternly.
"With you 8 years younger here now, I met your parents not long after my parents death, but they, the Ferrettis, Carters and Hammonds. So walking into Lou at Creek Mountain of all places was a shock to system as he and I explained things to Charlie, Catherine, Barbara and Gary." he said and she nodded in understanding. "So that little boy with the trio was you?" She said and he nodded. "Yeah, like Barrett, I was the same way, as I healed." he said and she smiled then.
"And that's a good reason to be worried, you're not fooled by her, and we're all starting to realize here, that the power is going straight to her head. And after she supposedly murdered two members of the team and I went topside again. Leaving the 5 of you left, although the cat decided, for safety sake, he's not leaving Daniel, in being an emotional therapy kitty." Levy said and they nodded, as the cat meowed in agreement, knowing he was staying put then here.
"I take it you realized she couldn't understand how he loved this more then being in the SGC, in going into the cartouche, and saw this job as boring. But when we look at it, boring means safe here and the safer the better, because we're on that invulnerability serum. That prevents being killed, as does the cloning machines, and Daniel was taking on the responsibilities. Of being a full time security officer, with Will at his side." Walker said and Henderson nodded to him then.
"That's exactly what I was thinking, as she was realizing he loved the thrill of free climbing and scuba diving that deep. And she sees that, how could he possibly love this more then going into the cartouche, on the fact that he's remarried. And an expecting father, in only 11 months he turned the corner, and he's back to being himself again. And she's feeling lonely, he doesn't see the SGC the same way anymore, also the bond between you and him." he said and he nodded.
"Well you better see this now, because thanks to their being hung up on my transfer, and dad decided it was a combined party, but my birthday and transfer combined. And bringing along my friends and the quartet, Teal'C and the quartet, knowing Kevin's here. And Kevin told his father, he's looking after Jason, while he transferred under me and Landry now. But they're hung up on their own safety, completely forgetting the date." he said and Parker crossed her arms then.
"Yeah that should be real good right now, you wanted your chance to choose and we said time and time again, it's not up to them, but up to us right now. Just like your father said here, after he said that the traitor of the Abydonians was not a threat and they should be left alone. But that evaluation is not up to him, but based on your report to us now, as we see it through you. And we see Pyrus through you and your team's eyes." Addison said and Jack swallowed hard.
"And then there's the night of my birthday party, and this really drove it home now, in total truth, they're as the woman at the polishing school said: pushy, rude, ignorant of the rules. Self absorbed and materialistic, why should you have to put up with that attitude here. I did all the work and they're plagiarizing my results, it was me that got the gate working again. Me that finished the calculations, to get it to go everywhere else besides Abydos right now, me."
"That, in truth figured out what the heck is going around here, after they broke the rules and came back with a contamination, me that figured out it was STD. Me that found the back up gate, me that brought back the coordinates, they're too obsessed with their own safety. To realize pride is a sin, and that's a one way to ticket to an early grave, and instead of death. They got something even worse here." he said and Henderson nodded sternly as he crossed his arms.
"Just figures here that you're even better then they give you credit for, but their self centered behavior resulted in a single reason here. And one that we all knew about, that they completely forgot, in their quest to protect themselves." Lou said as they saw Daniel handing out invitations to several members of the command and they nodded. "Yeah we're coming bro, we're coming, wouldn't miss it." Balinsky said smiling to him at that, before posting another gently.
And on the commissary's noteboard. "What's going on?" Jack asked and he said it firmly at the remark then, as he said it then "Throwing a party." he said and he looked at him in shock then. "Why?" he asked and Hoffman crossed his arms, as they heard a stern tone. "Did you forget the date already you asswipe, his birthday party's this Saturday!' they heard from Dixon, Lou and Warren in disgust and Jack went white in fear, realizing it finally then at that.
And in their self centered quest to protect themselves, they completely forgot the date and that his birthday was that coming weekend at the time. "Oh, you know expanding my horizons. I'm getting older thought I would branch out and take some new chances." he said and he sighed. "I just got the news from Hammond, the Admiral has organized a furthered transfer, I tried to veto it, but I been turned down." he said as Daniel hands a flier then.
And to the cook in response. "Want one of these?" he asked and the officer nodded smiling, as he put it in his pocket at that. And as he read out Hammond's angered remark to him then as he said it then."Just why are you so obsessed with my staying here, can't you idiots, in truth do this for yourselves for once. And because I'm getting to death of you trying to find any possible reason for me to stay here." Daniel said angrily and he sighed at that.
"Quote: I'm getting so sick of you and Carter and your attempts to keep Commander Jackson from leaving, when are you going to understand. That we're golden yellow clearance and he's Black security clearance, triple black security clearance. And you're trying to keep him here, is wearing so thin right now, that I really agree with him. In truth now, that you're a bunch of lazy bums right now, if he gets orders to leave."
"Then he leaves, and end of story, Colonel, it's not up to you and Military intelligences services, it's up to the 5 stars. And the president, now enough already, Colonel, but enough is enough, you have no authority. Now, to hold him hostage, so that's enough of this, he's transferring to a new command, end of story!', end quote." he said and Daniel nodded as he walked passed him then sternly as he answered him then to that.
"So what, at least they didn't tell you that the sight of you gives them dry heaves or that you're a self-centered, self-absorbed…., selfish.." He said in irritation then sternly as he stapled the flyers into the noteboard and he said it. "Look, obviously they have opinions about me that they hasn't been honest about. The General said I was a talentless idiot with no concept of personal space and future direction." he said and Daniel nodded then.
Then to this then." 'Kay, no offense, Jack, but I don't think anybody really cares." he said and he looked at him in shock then. "I care..., Daniel, I mean, I could honestly use some advice here." he said and Daniel looked at him. "Oh, you want some advice, how about this: your lives aren't so interesting, it never was, right now." he said and he looked at him in shock. "What?" he said and Daniel said it, his tone angered and loaded with irritation.
"You know, after you basically making that cold blooded crack about Sha're, you lost any right to inquire on my safety, trying and talk me into staying. Or even argue here about why my personal reasons have every reason to do with you. And you bastards killing Pyrus out kidnapping me at the time." he said and he went white, realizing after his crack on his claiming he was a Goa'uld sympathizer, he basically just told him to go to hell.
"But I am so sick and tired of hearing about you and Sam's boring little mini-dramas, in trying to get the Generals and the joint chiefs to change their minds. I'm going to start tearing out my fingernails for relief, but just get over yourself, Jack, deal?" He snapped and stalked off and he looked at him in shock, never thinking he would react. And like this, and simply because they didn't want him to leave, just so they could protect themselves.
"Yeah the bastard is only fanning the flames here, young lady, did you attempt to talk to him about this right now as well." MacGregor said and she went white in fear, now realizing how screwed they really were, both of them had tried to talk to him then. And he blew her off, after she came to talk to him then, the party was at Lou's house that night. Said which was right on the lake, as they saw him with the group as they were talking happily and as Sam came in then.
"Hey." she said and he nodded coolly. "What's up?" he asked and she said it carefully. "I wanted to talk about the transfer." she said and he promptly got up and went to help the commissary baker and she followed him. "Alright, look, I don't know what's going on between us, but obviously it's something that set you off." she said and he nodded then, "Me? I can't imagine what that would be. Hm." he said and she said it quickly, then.
"Look, I'm about 2 seconds away from blowing it with you at the moment and you and I know everything about each other and I really need to discuss this. Is it really necessary to leave right now." she said and he turned around, as he tried to control his tone, as his eyes turned red in pain and anger."You know everything about me, huh, you know how I got this scar on my chin, you know why I hated my grandfather here now."
"And ever since he abandoned me to the system, do you know why I just left you in the mines, or threw that jab at you last year in the lab. Or do you know why I ride the fine line right now and between insecurity. And self-confidence: Correct me if I'm wrong, Samantha, but you don't know the answer. To any of those questions, in fact, I bet you don't even know when I was born!" he snapped at her and she froze at that then.
And before she went white in fear then. "Oh my God. Oh my, it's your birthday, Daniel I'm so sorry, God, I'm such an idiot. You were trying to tell us all day it was your birthday this weekend, too." she said and he nodded then. "Yeah now you get it, the people he's closest too in the world forget the date of his birth now. How's that for the realization of just how far the strain is to breaking in your relationships with him." Warren said and she paled.
"Yeah, but that didn't work out either, the plan was in place here right now, but I bet you forgot that too, didn't you?" he said and she said it shaking then. "No, we were supposed to go to the movies today, I can't believe I forgot. Look, I'll make it up to you: Tomorrow night, you and me, we'll do whatever you want." She said and he said it deliberately at that and Hammond, Landry, Picard and Ferretti crossed their arms sternly then.
"Do you see this look on my face that I'm trying so hard to conceal: It has nothing to do with my birthday, it has nothing to do with going to the movies. And it certainly has nothing to do with the transfer back to my branch, it has with the fact. That I came to this dark realization that everyone in SGC has either written me off. Demanding me unworthy of their time or their concerns and the conclusion that I came to today."
"On my 34th birthday, Samantha, is that my best friend in the world now looks at me the very same way." he said and she jerked, as he walked away from her and she grabbed his arm. "Daniel: How can I fix this?" she asked, shaking in fear and he said it. "You can't, okay, everything's different now, you have Jack and our friendship. It just doesn't compare to what you two have, okay, honestly I'm just not a third wheel type."
"But I can't live like this anymore, I need to be on my own for a while." He said, turning away from her and she swallowed hard, as he wiped the tears off his face. And then she saw Hammond jab pointedly at the door, and she swallowed hard and left at that. "Point taken, that why you shouldn't you be any less arrogant after pulling that stun at your birthday. It was time to leave and start fresh now at the time." Apone said and Finnegan nodded in agreement.
"And with that, you're all that matters to us, we know you better then they do, we been friends for years, but you're a Seal, not a Flyboy, but now that she joined the ranks. And of the military intelligence, and you went one further and joined the officers of the joint chiefs now. You have higher authority than she does, and she hates being outdone, least of all by a man now. So with that, it's simple here she's jealous." Henderson said and she swallowed hard in fear then.
"Just how stupid you think we are young lady, because you were there at the decision making, after feeling cheated by a man, who realized it faster then you had. You're the book version of Sharon's Character." Barnes said and Alexander nodded. "You have to look at this." Sam said, coming into the room, with a piece of paper then. "What?" Alexander asked and she said it. "There's a record here of a transmission to the surface, just before the submarine."
"In truth, was due to pick us up." she said and he said it. "Let me take a look at that." Barnes said and Sam debates turning it over to him, and he gives her a sardonic look then, takes the page and reads it. "Although advised of risks, all personnel elect to remain down for duration of storm to continue investigation', you ever stop to think. That Haden wanted us under quarantine, till he's sure." he asked her, smiling, and she froze.
"And here's the read on report, after I realized you disappeared, before I went looking for you, 'Any going into artifact. 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.'." Walker read out to her.
"Considering Brandon is the expert in precognitive abilities, after working with me, Daniel, Nathan, Billy, Wes and Alex for the last year, we got our powers as Jedi. Now, under control, so we see this, that's Daniel and me, as further enhancement. But our Ancient powers are not triggering any megalomaniacal symptoms. So we see how we do with the side effects of the sphere, but as your mind is not equipped here now."
"Whoever out of the group went into the sphere, is being quarantined till they have it control, Captain, so to translate. This is continued investigation, as whoever infiltrated alien artifact, is to remain in quarantine, till they have it under control." he said, translating and she froze in shock and Barnes smiles his Cheshire cat grin. "But Sam, we never elected to remain, we elected to return to the base, after several days now."
"When in decompression." he said and she nodded. "Exactly." she said to him and Alexander nodded. "Who sent the message?" he asked and she explained it. "The signature is encoded, remember what happened: the submarine was coming. But Renfro said she wasn't getting a reading, but the truth is, the submarine was never coming." she said, looking at Barnes. "Somebody told it not to come." she said, and Parker said it then.
"Well I consider that paranoia, you stop to think why we would take this power seriously at the moment, knowing it's dangerous. As Riker never had enough time to practice and train with the Q powers, and there's why we're down here. Why the habitat has holodecks, so we can practice till we get used to it, as this power. Is as dangerous as every other in super power there is and needs to control and with that."
"Oh are you making implications again, you remember what he said, every time the orders never make sense. You see this as we been replaced, or duplicated, it's back to this again, the orders never make sense. To Officers as young as you, it's like the assignment, the assignment is lame true, but that's still the assignment?" he asked and she froze at that, realizing she was doing it again, and he just bagged her at that remark.
"Since you're clearly new at this, here's the exact point now Sam, but in case of severe weather, and one of us ops to stay here, we all stay here, one of us leaves. We all leave, but you're simply a lieutenant, we been doing this longer now. But after you brought back two viruses, and the third nearly started growing out of the lab. We decided to insure this one stays quarantined till we're sure it's not a contagion."
"That thing could be considered contaminated, whoever between us went in, we're in quarantine, till we see the side effects, Brandon's orders, his being the team psychiatrist, so half the team tested out the effects. The other were watching mental and physical side effects, basic protocols now. Or is this about breaking orders again, orders are lame, that maybe, but still we have our orders." Parker said sternly to her.
As Levy came down, gripping Parker's shoulders, and whispered in her ear and she nodded sternly. "But here's our point now, after you broke containment three times, and infecting everyone or nearly, after Mycenae now. We're not having this leaving the habitat till we got it under control now, so knock it off, Lieutenant. This may seem strange, but then, our decisions never make sense to someone your age right now."
"Derek, Brandon and I decided this together, anyone that decides to go in, is quarantined and thanks to you, we missed our bus. So we're stuck for the duration, now knock it off, the only person that should be blamed here, is you." Bar said sternly, looking at her and she started shaking in fear. "Hey Dave, we're got the surveillance videos up here, Teeny's got drop off!" Daniel called out from above them and he nodded then.
As he looked at her as he said it warningly. "There's the point, after you jumped in there, Eric followed you, and unlocked the door here." he said and she paled, realizing, she never remembered going in, and was unconscious for 2 days. "Can't remember going in, just like you never remembered his advice, and get slapped with the penalty. But you been knocked unconscious and the first indication of trouble we get your coming around."
"Is a bunch of jellyfish, but funny thing here, the species of the jellyfish that attacked matched the ones in Miami, Florida to be exact, man o wars. Is there something you would like to tell us, Daniel's not afraid of jellyfish. Are you afraid of going deeper then 10ft in, because you scuba dived and got stung as a child here?" he asked and she backed up then, realizing he was referencing something, but what she wasn't sure of then.
"My point is, that for someone, who never accessed and controlled the darker portions of their minds. They can manifest up some dangerous side effects, real or not and not the make believe turned true. Someone's subconscious thoughts just ended up on that computer, that's not an alien. But your internal thoughts are being broadcasted and we're interacting with them as what was said on that monitor, is not alien here."
"But rather a member of the team making movie jokes, after Karen said the damn thing was kidding, but see it to be, see it to be a source. And of overlying good in the world, we use it to erase all wars from the planet, world peace. Or want it to be, want it to be used as a weapon, we're see it to be, a way to create planetary peace. But what about you, you think it could be used for your plan: an underlying agenda now."
"If we lost a crew member, supposedly?" he asked and she started, shaking. "Really what's your intent, after he refused to go back, saying he's happy right here. He's never felt stronger, or more alive again, why go back to lousy hours, constant peril. Being treated like a lunatic and abused by you." he said and she started shaking. "You can't prove anything." she said and he smiled, and she swallowed hard at that response.
"And neither can you, Haden gave Brandon and me orders, whoever goes in, is in quarantine till they control their ability to be a master builder here. Which is what this power really is, manifest the best in us all, use it for overwhelming good. In the world right now." he said and a second later, a set of blueprints manifested in the table, and Walker nodded, as he saw it. "Advanced homeless shelters, good idea." He said smiling at that.
"Daniel's ability is already coming to fruition, looking at all the ways to better improve the planet, rather then endless wars now, military technology. This is what we should be doing, rather then focus on more weapons." he said, as another appeared, this time carrying blueprints for an advanced form of storm shelters. "Whoa, goa'uld shield and we can protect the entire area, during hurricane season." Parker said smiling to that idea.
"Uh let's see here, yeah 350 mile wide area range, from Texas into Missouri now, that's the alley, and then during areas constantly hit. By tornadoes and hurricanes, we have these to protect the areas, so tornadoes. Derechos and hurricanes, no longer a problem, we just turn on the weather shield. And the storm chasers can see the damn thing up close and personal now." Walker said smiling and Barnes chuckled and nodded.
Before a third appeared, and this time with a picture of Zat gun in the corner and Alexander looked from it to the devices and chuckled. "Pollution destroyer, Zat guns the size of a ray gun, we start piling all the garbage together, and then 3 shots. And with that ray gun, we destroy any and all waste now, eliminating the amount of pollution created." he said and Barnes nodded smiling. "Yeah good idea." MacGregor said smiling at his idea then.
