“So that explains the strange activations of the Stargate,” said Larkin. 

“Indeed,” said Sister Helena. She paused. “Simon, Mary, and Maerwynn consented to being scanned. I scanned them and both Mary and Simon do not have the ATA Gene. However, Maerwynn does have the gene.”
Larkin let out a low whistle. “That is odd, he said. But she could have a recessive gene. Did you save all their medical scans?”

“Yes sir, just as you requested,” Sister Helen replied. 

“Good. We’ll present it to Doctor Lam when we check in with the SGC,” Larkin said. “Hopefully, we’ll have some answers.”

“Understood, sir,” said Sister Helena.

“Wonderful,” Colonel Larkin replied. “They enjoyed the movie. When we’re all not on active duty, I’m going to make Saturday nights movie nights or gaming nights. We’ll let the team decide.”

“Sounds like a plan, sir,” said sister Helena. She glanced at the bookmark and was reading. “*Medieval People*?” 

“I thought it felt appropriate,” Larkin replied. “It was written by Eileen Power. She was a professor at Cambridge at a time when that job was not proper for a lady.”

“I hope you find some insights, Sir.” Helena paused. “Is there anything else, Sir?”

Larkin stood up. “You did good out there, Sister,” he replied. “Well done.” A tone of encouragement in his voice. 

“Thank you, Sir.”

“That’s all. Dismissed, Sister. And good night.”


“Goodnight, Sir,” said Sister Helena. She closed the door and went back to her quarters. Closing her own door, she changed out of her habit and into her pajamas — a PT shirt and shorts. Helnea sat at her desk and worked on her report. All the while, she kept reflecting on Maerwynn's words: “*If God can forgive you, who can say He’s wrong*?” Helen knelt by her cot. Her hands trembled as she pressed her palms together—then to her forehead. Her breathing hitched.

“That’s an Ancient Long Range Communication Device. Stargate Command encountered them twenty years ago. They’re very tricky Sister. When used in conjunction with the communication stones they form a psychological link as well as a mental link with the users.”

“What do you mean?” Sister Helena asked. 

“For example, if you and Maerwynn were linked with this device, if she was drowning in a river you'd feel the effects of her drowning. If she were to die, you’d die as well.”

Sister Helena shuddered. “Oh my!” She exclaimed. 

“That’s not the worst part. There’s no “off” switch that we know of. The only way we’ve turned the device off is by disintegrating it. 

“I see.”

“Did Maerwynn or her parents try to connect the stones to the device?” Larkin asked. 

“Not to my knowledge,” Sister Helen replied. “They thought it was a GDO.”
