My first fic: Child's Play - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

KatDonovan · 30th April 2001, 08:10 PM

Ok, here goes. For those of you who caught the conversation about this in the YKYBWTMSGWhen thread, this isn't exactly what I had in mind then. When I started thinking about writing and this is what took over.

This is just the beginning, I figured I'd better post what I have before, the knots in my stomach tightened up so much I couldn't breath any more.

Title: Child's Play
Author: KatDonovan (with special input and inspiration from my sis, BrinDonovan, hehe, long story

)
Category: Fun, of course
Spoilers: none that I can remember, but if so, sorry
Rated: PG
Description: SG1 have fun
Disclaimer: I don't own them, never have, never will. I just borrow them, play with them for awhile, and send them on their merry way home.(it's safer that way

)Won't make any money from this, so no sense in getting mad at me.
Dedication: this is for THE MOB :rolly2:

"Flowers. Why does it always have to be flowers." Daniel muttered to himself as he read through the information Sam had given him concerning their impending mission. Jack grinned at him from across the briefing room table.

"Don't forget to take your allergy meds, Danny boy, looks like we're going for a walk in the wildflowers."

"Actually, Sir, the new sensors I installed on the MALP to take readings of mold spoors and pollens show hardly a trace amount of either." Sam directed a reassuring smile Daniel's way. "It seems there is less for him to be allergic to on P5C-169, than there is on a typical day here on Earth."

Everyone rose from their seats at the table as General Hammond entered the room. "Take a seat people. We'll have to make this brief, as I have a conference call with the JCS scheduled in a few minutes." he sat down and focused his attention on his team. "So, Major Carter, tell me why you think this is an important planet for us to explore.

"When we sent the MALP through yesterday, we took the usual readings and samples, everything came back nominal, except for one thing." Sam leaned forward excitedly as she continued. "Readings indicated a significant deposit of naquada, but also showed no signs of Go'auld occupation, past or present, though there did seem to be some sort of ruins in the distance, surrounded by a vast field of flowers. I'm hopeful that Daniel will be able to learn, from those ruins, why the planet is uninhabited and if the naquada deposit is large enough to justify an advanced exploration and, perhaps, mining operation."

General Hammond studied the faces of the rest of SG 1. "Colonel, what do you think?"

Jack sat back in his chair and though for a moment. "Well, Sir, I think Carter has the right idea. If there is enough naquada on that planet, then we could possibly start our own mining operation, and begin developing our own naquada based technology. It might be easier to do it ourselves, than rely on the Tok'ra or the Tollen to throw us the occasional technobone. So to speak."

"O'Neill is correct General Hammond." Teal'c propped his elbows on the arms of his chair and steepled his fingers, in his usual 'thoughtful' pose. He continued, "It might prove quite efficient for us to have our own ready supply of the material for future research and development purposes."

"Very well." General Hammond collected the folder of information Major Carter had put together from on the table in front of him and stood up. "SG 1 you have a go."

~Fin~ (for now)

Well, there it is. Tell me whatcha think. Be gentle. I'm gonna go throw up now.

KatDonovan · 1st May 2001, 08:32 PM

Thanks for all the nice comments, makes me feel a bit steadier about posting this next bit. Here you go.

The shimmering surface of the wormhole cast a soft blue glow over the gate room, illumination the faces of SG1 as they prepared to leave for their mission to P5C-169. Sam readied the new hand held scanner she had recently finished designing. She would need it to find the deposits of haquada that made this mission so very important.

Daniel checked the digital camera in the bag slung over his shoulder. MALP data from the last 24 hours had shown that the planet had an unusually short daytime cycle, only 6 hours each of daylight and darkness. They couldn't stay long, so he would need to take plenty of video of the ruins to study while back on Earth. He also, covertly, checked his pockets to to make sure his allergy medication was within close reach. Sam was brilliant, and he trusted her implicitly, but sometimes things just happed, especially when it came to himself and SG1.

"So, Jack IS coming with us today, right?" Daniel adjusted his backpack as he glanced upward at the control room window.

"Indeed, Daniel Jackson," replied Teal'c "O'Neill merely had some task he needed to perform before our departure."

"Here he comes." Sam said, frowning at the dorway as Jack came bounding in, grinning. "Uh oh. He's got that look again."

"Hmmm, yes he does." Daniel exchanged sideways glances with Sam, he'd seen that mischievous smile many times before, usually when he was about to end up the butt of one of Jack's jokes. "Jack, where have you been? You're holding us up."

"Sorry campers, just had to retrieve something I
thought we might need." Jack walked up beside Daniel and handed him a brand new, never been opened, box of tissues. "Be prepared I always say." He slapped Daniel on the back and walked toward the gate, snickering.

Daniel looked down at the box in his hands, then back up at Jack striding up the ramp. "You know, Jack, sometimes you can act like such a child." He shook his head, sighed, and followed the rest of his team through the gate.

The view from the platform on which the gate rested was magnificent. Bright blue sky, with a few fluffy white clouds, massive verdant trees scattered hither and yon over the landscape, and as far as the eye could see, there were flowers. Literally millions of flowers, of all shapes and sizes, in every conceivable color, blanketed the ground. A gentle breeze blew across the land setting the flowers to swaying, causing sounds, not unlike tiny golden bells, to rise to the ears of SG1 as they stood, peering in awe at the beauty surrounding them.

"My God! It's gorgeous. From the video on the MALP, I thought it would be beautiful, but I never could have imagined anything as grand as this. And the air, it smells so..... so..... there aren't even any words to describe it." Sam took a deep breath of the fragrant air, closing her eyes in sheer contentment.

"This is what I always imagined Heaven would look like. It's absolutely stunning." Daniel also took a deep breath, hand hovering over the pocket holding his medication, just in case. Instead of the sneezing fit he was expecting, the only reaction he had was pleasure at the incredible aroma of the perfumed air. "I've always thought flowers were pretty, but this is the first time I've ever been able to really appreciate them like everyone else."

Teal'c walked down the stairs and forward a few dozen steps until he was knee deep in a patch of ruby red flowers. "Truly it is magnificent. In all of the time I traveled the galaxy with Apophis, never did I encounter any planet that could possibly compare to this one."

"Well, I've changed my mind." Everyone looked at Jack questioningly. "Here, right here, is where I'm going to retire to. If we can just find a lake or pond with anything in it that even resembles a fish, I'm never leaving." He looked around at the curiously empty landscape. "There is one thing that bothers me about this place though."

"If it's such a paradise, how come there aren't any inhabitants?" Daniel posed the question that was troubling them all.

Jack glanced at him, then at the rest of his team, "Exactly."
