October 2011 Antarctic Outpost Earth One of the few good things you could say about the Ancients was that they had built things to last. While his current posting wasn’t exactly his idea of an ideal climate – being damn near freezing all the time, the structure…
May 2011 Old Earth Calendar Atlantis Sitting at her desk sipping her first cup of coffee, Elizabeth paged through her morning memos. Thanks to the pictures being circulated throughout Pegasus, most of the senior Gate team members had decided to confine themselves to the City. That wasn’t to…
Earth Chapter One – Not Quite As Things Seem May 2011 Colorado Springs, CO O’Neill-Jackson Residence “Jack, you always throw the best barbeques. Thanks for inviting my crew.” Handing over one of the beers in his hands, Jack nodded in thanks as he looked Steven Caldwell over.…
Chapter One – Getting Started April 2011 Old Earth Calendar While John was being taken down to the infirmary to recover from his second trip through the Chair, Elizabeth pondered the next round of decisions that needed to be made. Chuck had notified her that the City had…
April 2011 Old Earth Calendar “Look, all our ATA positive personnel who know how to fly a jumper have been cycling through the Chair for the last week. And thanks to the vote we just held, we are apparently going to be staying out here ‘in the black,’”…
Flipping the pages of his copy of Caldwell’s after-action report from one point to another, Balok looked at the officer in front of him. “Colonel, you and your crew spent a little less than two weeks on Atlantis after your rescue. Is that correct?” Sitting straight in his chair,…
“Unscheduled off world activation. Unscheduled off world activation!” Despite having been in command of the SGC for just over a year, General James Balok knew he was never going to get used to hearing those words sung out several times a week. He also didn’t think he was…
Two and a half days of frantic packing, endless Jumper flights, last minute innovations and never-ending worry later, Atlantis and her citizens were as ready to leave Lantea as they ever would be. The freshwater tanks where Atlantis stored desalinated sea water were full and the waste treatment…
The Jumper loads of wounded were gone, and only the dead remained behind. Snorting softly to himself, Radek shook his head. He really wasn’t that much of a romantic, and but while the thought was unpleasant there was still an element of truth to it. The only people from…
Shortly after Jumper One had ditched them to check out the space station, Jumpers Two and Three had received a weak distress signal from the wreck of the Daedalus. Listening to the voice of an unknown Lieutenant describe the numbers of dead and wounded, Lorne swallowed hard, more than…
They were right outside the asteroid belt before the location of the space station was finally pinpointed. Unfortunately it wasn’t found due to Rodney’s efforts at the sensors, it was found because the station lit up its own sensor array and painted the incoming Jumpers. Each of the Jumper…
Because he was watching the long ranged sensors that were normally trained on the Daedalus, Chuck was the only one to really see the icon that represented the ship stop and then wink out. Staring at the screen in shock for a moment he blinked. Then with a…
T minus four days They got the communication burst from the Daedalus when she was a little over two days out, basically stating that she was on time with a rough manifest and passenger list attached. Reviewing the lists of supplies and personnel, Elizabeth was reminded that if everything…
The meetings were over; the time had come to put the plans into action. ************************************* Daedalus left Atlantis on time, each of her crew convinced that this was to be the last time they would see the City, the last time they would see their friends. Knowing that…
Sitting in the main conference room, thinking over the revelations of the last hour, John was reminded of the chain of events that had lead to the expedition’s return to Atlantis. After hearing what the SGC had decided the four of them had been left with a feeling of…
After a late night visit from Dr. Jackson and Lt. O’Neill, Elizabeth had decided it would be a good idea to call an early morning meeting so the command staff could be there when the pair delivered the information they carried. As a courtesy she was also…
Take two clones…
No matter what happens, you still need to eat. And sometimes plan an insurrection over a good meal.
Planning As usual, Elizabeth started off the meeting. After all it was her office, her city, and ultimately her responsibility. “Gentlemen, thank you for coming. Before we get into the supply and personnel situation here in the City, I would like you to hear what Col. Caldwell had to say…
