Chapter 11: Ancient Resonance, Part 3

Loving this entirely. I see the same problem as you do, consistency is our models look and attire. It's great when you don't see the images together, but when they're side by side like this, it stands out.

Like the series of images of her greeting the team mates.

I think these comments also out of order. Don't recall that being the case in earlier chapters.

Nice!

Looking forward to the next installment.

“Yes, ma’am,” replied Fairbairn, “Sister Helena if you will come with me.”

“I would like for the four of you to have dinner in the commissary this evening together to get to know each other better. The briefing for the mission will be tomorrow morning at 0900 hours. Dismissed,” said General Carter.

“A pleasure to meet you, Sister. I’m looking forward to working with you.” “Likewise, Colonel.”

“This is Squadron Leader Isolde Fairbairn, the team’s executive officer and science officer,” said General Carter.

“Welcome, Sister Helena,” said Fairbairn as she smiled.

“Likewise,” replied Sister Helena as she shook her hand.

“This is Oversersjant Gunnar Bjornson, the team’s tactical specialist,” said General Carter. “Welcome, Sister Helena,” Said Bjornson. A large grin was on his face as he extended his hand.

“A pleasure,” said Sister Helena. “I look forward to working with you.”

“Sister Helena has a lot of work to prepare for the mission,” said General Carter. “I expect each of you to help her. Squadron Leader Fairbairn, will you take Sister Helena up to level 3 for processing?”

“At ease, everyone,” said General Carter. “I’d like for you to meet Sister Helena of the Cross. Sister Helena, I’d like for you to meet the members of SG-24, who you will be serving with. This is your commanding officer, Colonel Marcus Larkin.

Both Sister Helena and Colonel Larkin froze.

Sister Helena felt a pain in her chest as she heard his name. “Larkin,” she thought. “Is he related to the man that I killed while I with the Rogue NID?”

Colonel Larkin stiffened, his jaw tightened, and he couldn’t help clenching his fists a bit. He couldn’t believe that he was meeting the woman who was responsible for his brother’s death in person. He could have unleashed his anger out on her, but he remembered what General Carter had told him. “Give her a chance. You’re working towards the same goal.” So maintained a level head and extended his hand.

“Well, it’s partially true. Atlantis was one of the city ships the Ancients built. It is currently in another galaxy. We found it about twenty years ago. It’s been to Earth a couple of times since then.”

“Really? That’s interesting.” “Doctor Daniel Jackson created a series of videos designed for newcomers to the Stargate Program. I’d like for you to watch them.”

“Yes, ma’am. I will,” said Sister Helena.

“Good. I’ll have a tablet sent to your quarters.” The two had entered the conference room where Colonel Larkin, Squadron Leader Fairbairn and Oversersjant Bjornson were waiting. They were wearing green battle dress uniforms. As soon as General Carter entered the room, they all stood at attention.

“It means that you can use Ancient Technology with a high rate of proficiency at the same rate as some of our personnel at the SGC can. I’d like to have some tests run on you to test your abilities with the ATA gene before the mission. For now, I would like for you to meet the SG-Team you will be working with on your mission. Come with me.” As they made their way to Level 27, Sister Helena asked General Carter:

“General Carter, it has been some time since I was involved with the Rogue NID and I don’t remember if Colonel Galli ever mentioned to me but who are the Ancients?”

“The Ancients were an advanced race of humanoids who created the Stargates and other advanced technology, including ships and city ships.

“City ships?” Sister Helena asked. “Were they ever on Earth?”

“Yes, they have been” General Carter. “For a time, they lived on Earth. Have you ever heard of Atlantis?”
