Misguided Perceptions Chapter 4: Home“Incoming wormhole!” shouted Walter.
“Are we receiving an IDC?” asked Hammond.
“Yes, Sir. It’s SG-1,” Walter replied.
“Open the Iris,” ordered Hammond.
Walter, the chief technician, opened the iris that the SGC had put over the gate to keep hostiles out and away from Earth. As the Iris opened, SG-1 walked through the gate and the marines raised their weapons as soon as Senis stepped put of the gate.
“Whoa, easy boys,” said Jack to the marines.
“Lower your weapons,” ordered Hammond as he walked into the gate room.
“Hello, sir,” greeted Jack
“Welcome back,” smiled Hammond, “you had us worried there for a second.”
“Its good to be back, George,” said Jacob.
“It’s always a pleasure to have you and Master Bra’tac here,” replied Hammond.
“Indeed,” said Bra’tac, “It is a good to be here, Hammond of Texas.”
“How was the Mission?” questioned Hammond.
“It went well and we made a new friend,” said Jack with a grin.
“General, may I introduce Senis Nightroad,” continued Daniel.
“Hi,” added Senis.
“It is a pleasure to meet you,” said Hammond, “SG-1, Please meet me in the Briefing room in one hour and I will have a marine show Mr. Nightroad to a room, but first I need you all to go to the infirmary to get an okay from Dr. Frasier.” (For those who want to know this takes place shortly before Janet Frasier is killed in season 7)
SG-1 departed the gate room after Hammond. They went to the infirmary to see the doctor so she could make sure they were okay and nothing happened that they did not know about.
“Hey, Doc,” shouted Jack.
“Colonel, you’re trying to wake the dead, aren’t you?” grouched Frasier.
“General says we need a check up,” said Jack as if Janet had not said a word
“Okay, then. Why don’t you sit down?” suggested Frasier with sarcasm.
“Yes, ma’am,” joked Jack.
“Is it safe, Daniel,” whispered Senis.
“Yes, Janet is the best there is around,” laughed Daniel.
“My, who do we have here,” asked Frasier.
“Uh….Senis Nightroad,” stuttered Senis.
“Well then Senis have a seat,” said Frasier as she walked over to a bed indicating for Senis to sit.
“Ok,” replied Senis as he sat on the bed next to where Frasier was standing.
Jennet performed several simple tested on Senis to check his health and make sure Anubis did not do anything to him to make him a threat. Other members of the medical staff preformed the same tests on SG-1. Dr. Frasier brought over a needle to get a blood sample for a few tests, but Senis grabbed her hand.
“I am sorry Doctor, but I can’t let you take a blood sample,” Senis explained.
SG-1 looked over to see what had caused some alarm in the marines and medical staff. They saw something that worried them. Senis had grabbed the Doctor’s hand to stop here from taking blood.
“I am sorry but I must,” insisted Frasier.
“I can’t let you do that,” stated Senis
“What the hell is going on?” barked Hammond as he walked in.
While the situation had been going on one of the doctors had called Hammond to alert him in case it became a hostile situation.
“Well, Sir, Senis is not allowing me to finish my tests,” explained Frasier.
“Mr. Nightroad, why are you not allowing Dr. Frasier to do her job?” asked Hammond.
“I am sorry, General, but I know I am no threat to your base even if you do not believe me and I can not allow her to take a sample of my blood for many reasons that I am unable to tell you,” said Senis.
“Why can’t you tell us?” questioned Daniel as he moved closer.
“Daniel, if I may ask you something?” questioned Senis, “Would you lie or even kill someone to protect those who are dear to you? Even if the person you are lying to was someone you wanted to consider a friend?”
“Well, I believe that if you truly wanted to be friends with someone you would trust them with the truth,” answered Daniel.
“You may be right,” chuckled Senis, “Alright, I will allow the Doctor to take a blood sample and tell you what I believe you should know but know this it will not be the whole truth.”
“Alright,” said Hammond, “Doctor, please finish taking the sample and run your tests, and then I want SG-1, Jacob, Bra’tac and Mr. Nightroad in the briefing room.”
Jennet took the blood sample and went to the back of the infirmary. Senis and SG-1 left to head to the briefing room to meat Hammond
On the way to the briefing room Jack and Senis were a little behind everyone else.
“Say, Senis what the hell was all that about,” asked Jack, “And also, why did you say you weren’t going to tell us the whole truth?”
“In time I will tell you everything, but not now,” replied Senis.
“When?” wondered Jack.
“When you are ready to understand that there is more in this universe that you can understand and explain,” Senis said, face grim in a way that showed he had seen a great deal more then he should have, “And when you stop trying to explain or destroy anything you do not understand.”
“Uhh… could I ask you one more thing?” questioned Jack.
“Yes, go right ahead,” replied Senis.
“Why are you wearing a suit and scarf in the middle of summer?”
Senis went into mad fits of laughter, drawing the curious glances of SG-1 and other people in the hallways they passed.
“What!?” exclaimed Jack.
“Oh, nothing,” chuckled Senis, “It’s just funny that after all that has happened you ask about my clothing.”
“Tell me, Colonel,” said Senis, “Do you ever manage to stay serious for very long?”
Before Jack could they came to the door leading them to the briefing room.
“Perhaps we shall finish this conversation latter?” inquired Senis.
“Yeah,” muttered Jack.
In the briefing room everyone took a seat at the table. Jack sat in the chair to the left of General Hammond who sat at the head. Next to Jack plopped Senis, then Daniel. On Hammond’s left was Sam, then her father and finally Teal’c and Bra’Tac.
“Alright, first of all we are going to learn what Mr. Nightroad will tell us about himself, then we will go on to the mission,” explained Hammond. A chorus of “yes” and “Yes, Sir” followed. Everyone looked at Senis.
“Well what do you want to know?” Senis asked “Ask anything you want and I will answer it to the best of my ability.”
”Why is Anubis after you?” asked Daniel.
“Wow, Daniel, I do believe that’s the third time you’ve asked me that question today,” remarked Senis, “As I have said before, I do not know why he came after me particularly but I do know he wonted to take a host that would not only increase his own power but would also strike more fear into the System Lords and his Jaffa alike. As you know many Jaffa are falling away from the Goa’uld and joining the Jaffa Rebellion.”
“True. Now why did you not want Dr. Frasier to take a sample of your blood,” asked Hammond.
“I believe you will find out when you get the test results back,” said Senis.
“We heard from rumours at your capture that for one thing you killed three kull warriors with your bare hands and that you were also not human. Is this true?” questioned Jacob.
“That was two questions,” joked Senis, “But I did kill them but not quite with my bare hands and no I am not human, my race was called Crusnik.”
“Was?” inquired Sam.
“Yes, I am the only one of my kind left. We were wiped out in a war many years ago,” whispered Senis, sadness coloring his otherwise jubilant tone.
“We are very sorry to hear that,” spoke Daniel.
“Oh, do not worry; it was many years ago,” muttered Senis, voice becoming louder as he continued, “But, please continue with your questions.”
“You also said that you did not quite kill the Kull warriors with your bare hands?” asked Teal’c.
“Oh no, I simple used a small concealed weapon to cut their heads off partway and ripped it off the rest,” grinned Senis.
A cold silence washed over the room. Everyone was looking at Senis and seeing him just smile made things a little creepier.
“Remind me to never piss him off,” murmured Jack.
“Do you have anymore questions?” asked Senis as if nothing had happened.
“I don’t think so,” said Hammond, “Anyone have anything else they wish to ask?”
“Uhh… just something I am curious about and you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to,” said Sam, “But you look seventeen or so. Why would Anubis go after someone so young?”
“Let’s just say I’m older then I look,” chuckled Senis.
After the round of twenty questions with Senis, SG-1, Bra’tac, Jacob and Hammond talked about the mission. After about an hour they were finished. Hammond went to his office, while Jacob went to spend time with Sam who was headed to her lab. Daniel went to his office and Teal’c and Bra’tac went to Cel’nor Ream. Jack followed Hammond into his office to talk to him and Senis just stayed seated to wait for Jack.
“Sir?”
“What is it, Jack?” asked Hammond.
“Well, sir I was wondering if Senis could join SG-1, sir,” said Jack.
“Jack, I can’t just let some strange alien kid join our program. Remember how long it took them to trust Teal’c?”
The grey-haired Colonel just stared. The general signed, “If you can prove him trustworthy, I’ll see what I can do.”
“Thank you, Sir,” said Jack.
“You know Mr. Woolsey will want to do an evaluation,” commented Hammond.
“I know,” said Jack.
“I will call the Pentagon and see what they say,” informed Hammond, “If all goes well Mr. Woolsey’ll be here in two or three days to do an evaluation.”
“Thank you, Sir,” repeated Jack.
After their conversation, Jack walked into the briefing room again to get Senis. They both left and Jack walked down to the hall to where Senis’s room hopefully would be when he joined the team.
“Tell me, Colonel, what will you do if they say no?” asked Senis.
“I’m not going to take no for an answer,” growled Jack, “They owe me and the best part is that they know it, so you are pretty much on the team. Oh, and call me Jack, you aren’t part of the military and that’s what my friends call me.”
“I thank you, Colonel, for what you have done for me, but I would like to know why,” said Senis, “We have barely met and you are already doing everything in your power for my sake.”
“Well, what are friends for?” replied Jack.
“Indeed,” mused Senis.
“In two or three days a man from the IOA will becoming to do an evaluation of you before you join the team,” informed Jack.
“Reminds me of home,” chuckled Senis to himself.
“What?”
“Oh, it’s nothing, just talking to myself,” muttered Senis.
“Well here we are,” said Jack as he stopped outside of a room, “This is your room. It’s not the best, but hey, it works. Daniel’s office is down the hall and around the corner and Sam’s lab in on the level below us, so they aren’t very far.”
“Thank you….Jack,” mumbled Senis.
“You’re welcome.”
