The Jaffa
Of the many things Teal’c had experienced across his years serving the false gods and while working to overthrow them, there was little doubt in his mind that the political process was the most annoying.
He had returned to Dakara directly after the Ancient had finished informing the Tau’ri about the threat of the Ori with the expectation that his words would be heard and they could begin preparing...

Chapter 89 - The Icy Outpost - Part 2
Upon return it took him nearly fifteen minutes to get the generator hooked up to the outpost's power systems. Not his best time all things considered, but he was going to give himself a pass since it was his first time working with equipment as ancient as the outposts.
“Okay.” He muttered, tossing the group a half smile as he settled himself down onto the control chair. “Let's see what we have to work with.”
With that he e...

Chapter 88 - The Icy Outpost - Part 1
The location of the outpost was marked on the surface by a geodesic dome covering the hole Jack O’Neill had drilled into the ice and a number of prefabricated buildings that looked to have been hastily rushed out, probably from the nearby McMurdo Station.
He had set the puddlejumper down at one of the two makeshift helicopter pads, and from there they had been directed by a heavily bundled man to the dome, where they were currently wa...

Chapter 87 - Family Road Trip
Flying a Puddlejumper had been a big part of Eventus’s job back when he was running around Pegasus putting out various fires. So he was fully qualified on all of its systems, and the various mission modifications that could be made to the starship.
He was also more than used to passengers who could get rather argumentative, as his former team had often spent a significant portion of their trips trolling each other to pass the time.

Chapter 86 - Lunch Conversations
In the end only Shen decided to join him for lunch, something he wasn’t particularly put out about as it was only really her and Colonel Chekov who hit the point of being interesting enough that he wasn’t adverse to spending long amounts of time with them.
“Perfect?” Shen asked in confusion.
“My people didn’t really cook in the manner you’d think of it.” Eventus offered with a shrug before taking anothe...

“The false identities and access to your world are non-negotiable.” Eventus said, feeling more than a little like he was repeating himself at this point given how many different ways he’d already tried to make that clear to them.
“You cannot actually believe we would just give you free reign like that?” Russel Chapman shot back, a number of the other members nodding in agreement with his words.
“Why not?” Event...

Three years of Kira looking like Kira made it hard for Raine not to stare when the Bajoran showed up at the door to her suite without her customary nose ridges. It was surprisingly attention grabbing all things considered, and the Asari finally dragged hers eyes away from the woman's nose to offer the group a smile.
“I’m sorry.” Kira began, shooting the currently disguised Asari a very ...

Chapter 84 - Price Check
For reasons that weren't readily apparent to Eventus the IOA had ended up deciding that this time the SGC would be an acceptable location for their meeting. Significantly more convenient for him given the circumstances, but he was a bit disappointed that he wouldn't have a chance to get away from the increasingly stifling interior of the SGC's metal and concrete halls.
They’d chosen what looked to be a conference room that seemed ...

“And so I set out to create a weapon with which the Ori could be put to rest once and for all.” Daniel frowned, staring at the holographic words he had just finished reading for a moment before turning to look at them. “Is that even possible?”
“In theory.” Eventus confirmed with a nod. “The Ascended aren’t unassailable. There’s a device on Atlantis which produces an energetic effect that has been described by Asce...

When Teyla had experienced Earth through the people of mist's enforced dream, it had been a generally pleasant endeavor outside of the very end of things when John had pulled a weapon on his dead friends. However the past two days of waiting for various circumstances to line up so she could actually leave the SGC, had done a rather remarkable job of showing her just how obviously dreamlike that first exper...

The party had eventually petered out, after which Raine had dragged Jadzia back to her suite so they could work on their other project. Which of course had turned into introducing the Trill to Guinan mere moments after walking through the suite’s door.

The Asari hadn't wanted to come on board, but over a decade fighting the Cardassians had instilled a healthy sense of caution in Nerys, so she wasn't going to just believe the woman without at least some proof of her identity.
Thankfully they had the holographic doctor on board which could run the necessary comparative analysis. Which was why their guest was currently sitting on a biobed as the h...

The being standing in front of Eventus obviously wasn't the real Moros, as he was still cycling around the stargate loop Ganos Lal had hidden him in. Even knowing that however, Eventus still felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end as it stared at him.

In hindsight Eventus probably should have expected Daniel to rush his newly raised suspicion about Author’s Mantle to O’Neill and Landry. After all, from what he remembered Stargate Command didn’t exactly have the best track record when it came to dealing with the machinations of Ascended beings.
The following request that he take a look at the device was perfectly logical given the Lantean had been openly using a somew...

Even to Eventus the convenience of Asgard transporters was something impressive. No need for satellite relay networks that would only allow you to travel to locations where ring platforms had been set up. No need for mile long trips afterwards to get where you really wanted to go. Just the flash of matter transmission and you were there.
Because of that convenience, he'd arrived back at the SCG in time to enjoy the mess hall's best...

So he’d ended up spending the night in what General Landry had assured the Lantean was their highest level VIP quarters.

And Carter was at least temporarily back at the SGC to help out with everything they currently had going on.
