What Comes Of Dreams Chapter 27 The
klaxons began to wail, filling the corridors of the SGC with their usually
noise. Shortly after, MSgt. Harriman
announced that there was as unscheduled off-world activation. Military issued boots could be heard as
people ran through the corridors to take up defensive positions around the gateroom. The
remaining members of SG1, General Hammond, and Jacob/Selmak, were just as
quickly filing into the control room hoping beyond hope that it was the wayward
Archeologist. No
sooner had Walter said that it was the GDO code for SG1 than Sam/Jolinar bolted
out the door faster than anyone had ever seen her move. She was practically flying down the stairs,
through the corridor, and into the gateroom. She had moved with such speed that she
arrived at the foot of the ramp before the iris was fully retracted. Arriving just seconds behind Sam, the rest of
SG1 and Jacob waited with bated breath for Daniel to step through the
gate. What happened left everyone
shocked….and Unas came through just before the iris closed. Seeing
all of the things being pointed at her, scarred Chena witless; holding out her
arms and dropping down into a crouch, she yelled out the first thing that came
to mind. “Daniel sent me!” The
sudden voice of an Unas speaking English stunned
everyone. Seeing that the Unas was
scarred, Sam started to approach it when the Unas’ eyes grew wide and she let
out a loud snarl. Backing up, Sam looked
around wondering what to do. The answer
came in the form of Jack O’Neill. “Uhm, hiya? How is it going?” Jack asked as he slowly approached the
crouching Unas that seemed scarred. Looking
at the man that approached her, Chena slowly held the GDO out towards him
hoping that he would not hurt her. Again
remembering what Daniel had told her to do in case that something happened, she
spoke. “Daniel
said to speak to Jack.” Chena said in
her scarred voice. “Are you Jack?” Looking
bewildered, but hearing that the Unas was scarred and the fact that it was
talking about Daniel, Jack decided to play along. “I
am Jack.” O’Neill stated. “Who are you and how do you know Daniel?” “I
am Chena, daughter of Chaka.” Chena said
losing some of her fear. “Daniel came to
my planet, I helped him, he helped me…Chena fears Daniel is dead.” A
sudden gasp from most those in the room had Chena quickly slipping back into
her protective crouch. Looking around
she saw that the woman who had approached her earlier was crying, which did not
make since because she felt like the evil ones but they did not cry. Remembering the note that Daniel had written
and attached to the water skin with the grok in it that she carried, Chena
quickly dumped her bag out to find it. Sam
started crying at hearing the Unas say that it feared Daniel was dead. How could she lose Daniel after being told by
Shifu that Daniel would be back with her. It was so unfair
that she could now give Daniel children and him not be there to help make it
happen. ~
“Settle yourself my Samantha.” Jolinar
soothed. “This Unas only said it was
afraid our Daniel was dead, not that it knows.” ~ ~
“You are right Joli.” Sam replied. “But why did it act scarred of us and snarl
when we approached?” ~ ~
“Remember, the Unas can sense the symbiote.”
Jolinar said softly as not to upset Samantha. “It may not know the difference between
Goa’uld and Tok’ra.” ~ Walking
slowly with her hands out in front of her, Sam stopped beside Jack while the
Unas went through the items it has poured out of it’s
bag. Crouching down so
as not to seem a threat, Sam spoke to the Unas. “Chena?” Sam asked in
a soft voice. “Do you know my
Daniel? Where is he?” Stopping
from her rummaging in the pile in front of her, Chena looked up at the human female
that had been crying and was not crouching down in front of her. Even though she felt like an evil one, the
way she spoke and her calling Daniel her’s
puzzled her. “Chena
knows Daniel.” Chena responded. “He killed the big grey worm and then he made
the pale-white jaffa in all black follow him to
protect Chena.” Hearing
the description of what could only be a Super Soldier dropped everyone’s heart
in the room into their shoes. There was
no way that Daniel could take on a Super Soldier by himself and live. Sam once again started crying as she looked
at the Unas Daniel had died to protect. Sniffing,
Sam decided to get more information while Chena seemed to be looking for
something in the pile. “Chena, you
mentioned Daniel killed a big grey worm.
What did you mean by this?” Chena
thought about a way to describe it, then she
remembered what it looked like if it was small.
“Like the evil things inside other Finally
spotting what she was looking for, Chena grabbed up the waterskin
filled with grok and the note that was attached to it; jumping up she, rushed
over to Jack thrusting the items into his hands. “Daniel
said give to Jack, Chena give to Jack.”
Chena said self-congratulatory. As
Jack started to read through the note; his eyebrows started rising into his
hairline. Everyone, except Sam, watched
as Jack’s eyebrows looked like they were about to disappear from his scalp. While
Jack was reading the note, Sam once again started trying to get answers from
Chena. “Chena,
why do you fear that my Daniel was killed?”
Samantha asked wondering to herself why she was being so territorial. “Daniel
lured the pale Jaffa away,” Chena began
looking at the human woman in front of her, ‘then the direction the pale Jaffa
and Daniel went, there was a big explosion and a big fire that ate the very
air…Chena does not think that her Daniel could survive the fire.” Her
Daniel, this Unas was female and thought that Daniel was hers? Oh Sam was not happy at hearing that. “Daniel is mine and Jolinar’s,
Sam stated with vehemence in her voice.” Quickly
rushing up the ramp and grabbing hold of Sam’s shoulders, Jacob and Teal’c did
all they could to hold Samantha back without hurting her. They knew that tone of voice and knew that an
all out battle was soon to erupt. The
Marines that had been manning the defenses took an involuntary step back. They heard what Major Carter had done to the
Goa’uld spy and they did not want to get caught in any kind of cast off. Seeing
the look that was in the human woman’s eyes and the sound of her voice; Chena went
quickly into a defensive crouch once again.
Blinking in confusion and then comprehension, Chena looked at the human
woman and remembered one of the names that Daniel had said when he was
recovering. “You
are Samantha?” Chena asked looking
confused and scarred. The
utterance of her full first name snapped the rage out of Sam faster than a
bucket of cold water. Continuing to
stare daggers at the female Unas, she nodded her head. “Chena
remembers hearing Daniel call this name during his mending time.” Chena said gaining confidence in her
voice. “If you are Samantha, then Daniel
is yours, not Chena’s…Chena spoke badly.” Rolling
his eyes, Jack could not help the thought passing through his mind about Daniel
once again living up to having a woman on every planet. It now seemed that it did not matter the
species. Before he could stop himself,
Jack chuckled out loud which had Sam’s glare of death spinning on him. “What
is so funny, Sir?” Sam practically
growled. “Perhaps
O’Neill is remembering his past comments about DanielJackson having a woman on
every planet.” Teal’c offered up. The
not-so-silent snickers from those in the room only seemed to raise Sam’s temper
up another notch as she glared at everybody one at a time. Any follow-up comments quickly dyed before
they could be voiced. Handing
the note and the “grok” over to Sam, Jack looked at her with eyes asking for
forgiveness. Sam only thought it funny
how Jack was trying to act like Daniel with that look…and he was not good at
it. Sam quickly read over the note and
couldn’t help the squeak that broke free of her lips as she read about the
giant symbiote. Her thoughts started
running a mile a minute when she read over what the “grok” in the waterskin was reported as being able to do. “Colonel.” General
Hammond said from the foot of the ramp.
“If everything is clear down there, why don’t you bring our, guest, to
the conference room?” Snapping
back into Colonel mode; Jack took a look at Chena and
sighed a tiny bit. “Chena, follow me
please…we need to talk.” Stooping
down to gather her stuff, Chena was stopped when Jack touched her
shoulder. “Your
things will be brought to you.” Jack
said softly remembering how strong Unas are.
“We need to clear away from the gate incase Daniel survived and tries to
come home” Nodding
her assent, Chena stood and followed Jack down the ramp and towards the
conference room. When she grew near
Jacob/Selmak and Teal’c, the familiar feeling of the evil ones again set off
her internal alarms and she started snarling at them. Both Jacob and Teal’c backed away with their
hands raised to show they were no threat and Chena continued to follow. Catching one of the SFs
as she passed, Samantha handed the waterskin and the
note to her and ordered that it be taken to one of the biochemists
immediately. She then hurried her way to
the conference room. End Chapter Twenty-Seven of This story along with all original characters and situations were created
