"As you were, people. Ok Ash what did you find?" Kale heard his Commanding Officer say and the other Marines went back to their previous postions holding the gate, Kale said pointing to the device "Well I think someone is trying to sabotage or Destroy the Alpha Site, but it seems that we have a few days or so before it blows, So I think that we should try and disarm it or remove it" as he said that Kale thought to himself "Hmm that is if we can remove it", then speaking again Kale added "so sir what should we try to do first about this situation.

Kale got onto his radio and asked the group of marines on the perimeter "Kale to Perimeter team, What is your current sitrep, over" Kale then released the PTT button and the radio blasted to life with one of the marines voice saying "Perimeter Team to Kale, our current sitrep is that all is well there is no threats to the perimeter, over" Kale then pushed the PTT button again and started to talk into the radio again "Thanks for the update, next transmission will be in 15 minutes, Kale Out" once again Kale released the PTT button then placed his radio back into his vest.

Kale then turned back to Jerry and said "the latest sitrep from the perimeter team is that there are no threats along the perimeter,at all, it seems to be quite quiet which that is good".

[Devon "Dev" Helto]

Jerry came out of the holding cell to be met by a Staff Sergeant he had never met. I'm Commander Garcia, I don't believe we have met. Are you new to the Alpha Site?

"Yes sir I am. I just arrived here very recently." Dev proclaimed, "Pleasure to meet you Commander. Might I ask as to what happened, I arrived, if you would believe it, Just before the explosion went off."

Dev spoke before the Commander, not to be disrespectful but to offer a possible solution, "I had some Ordnance training back on Earth. It was with small ordnance so I'm not sure how well my training might be, but I'm willing to try." Dev offered.

Jerry and Dev arrived at the gate to find Ash with a worried look on his face.

Well I think someone is trying to sabotage or Destroy the Alpha Site, but it seems that we have a few days or so before it blows, So I think that we should try and disarm it or remove it.

Jerry looked over the bomb, which was on the back side of the gate, down low to the ground. He couldn't see how it was attached but could see the timer was moving slow and it would give them some time to try and disarm it.

I had some Ordinance training back on Earth. It was with small ordinance so I'm not sure how well my training might be, but I'm willing to try.

Dev spoke up as Jerry examined the bomb. That a look at it and see what you can find, Dev. Be very sure before you try anything to disarm it or remove it.

<Tag Dev>

As Devon knelt down to check out the bomb, Jerry looked to Ash, Good job Ash. Glad to see you were paying attention to your surroundings. Give Devon whatever help he needs and be very careful. If you need me I'll be back interrogating our spy.

Gate --> Holding Cell

Jerry headed back to the holding cell. As he walked he scanned the area seeing the security that Ash had set up. Satisfied by what he saw, he moved on to the Holding cell.

Holding Cell

Kim winched as the woman screamed, in what seemed to be frustration n her face, and to the captain looked a bit weary of the needle. She watched the tears sting the woman’s eyes and to feel sorry for her to be in such circumstances. Torn between saving her children and doing what was right had to be tough. Kim nearly went into blind panic since her own situation with children or lack hurt. Memories of her two miscarriages were too fresh in her mind. She nearly moved to take the syringe out his hand when her CO decided against it. Mentally sighing in relief, Kim tried to put her wall around her again to tried to block the memories of what had happened.

She blinked when the radio came to life and listened to what was going on. She nodded without a word, taking the needle she grimaced at it before handing it over the CMO, of the base. Being poked with the thing wasn’t her favourite past time.

Facing the galaxy native, Kim made sure her eyes weren’t betraying her inner struggle, taking a deep breath, she waited till the door was heard closing, “Your planet shows no signs of having any Olympian activity, so did they come by your planet?”

Listening to what the woman was saying Kim frowned, something didn't add up here. Why was that she wasn't sure.

Anira remained on the floor for a little while after Jerry had left the room; still panting after the fight, her eyes closed and with tears burning under her eyelids, ‘What have I done…? I’ve ruined everything; I am so sorry Doria… Sira….I’m so sorry…’
She managed to sit up against the wall; getting up and walk over to sit by the table was out of the question right now, and wiped her face dry from tears with her sleeve before looking at Kim.

“They usually don’t bother us, the soldiers I mean… we worship their Gods… their powers are immense and unquestionable.” Anira pushed away a strand of her hair to make it rest behind her ear, closed her eyes and lend her head back at the wall.
“They came two nights ago when we had said our prayers and gone to bed. They took us out, to the forest outside the village, to their campsite…” she bit her lower lip and got silent for awhile to try and gather herself.
“I won’t go into details, let’s just say that it ended with them taking my two daughters away from me, and threaten to do the same to them if I didn’t comply… If I didn’t agree to do as they said”

Anira looked up and over to Kim, not being able to help her tears from running.

It took some time for the words to actually make some sense, sighing, Kim jammed her hands on her pockets, and gave the woman a long look. She had faced the enemy more times she cared to count; they were cold blooded as their Milky Way counterparts – The Gou’ald. Equally evil, if not equal than even more than the snake heads. Not that she fought them personally. Horror stories were enough to make ones blood run cold.

“Why not tell us instead of doing their bidding. We could help you save your family. Most of the people I know have fought them, yet they are still here fighting. I understand that having family in their hands makes you play their cards, but there are other ways to overcome this. If you want our help you tell us all you know now. If you don’t, I won’t stop Jerry form doing you serious harm.”

The look on her face said that she was serious.

Anira looked at Kim as she spoke with disbelief in her eyes, ‘Were they actually willing to help her? After what she’d done to them?’ She frowned but got up to stand by the wall, ‘These are really a confusing group of people.’
“You want to help me!? Find my children and I’ll help… As it is now I honestly have nothing too loose, and neither have they,” she took a deep breath and looked Kim straight in the eyes with determination in her eyes, “…drugs or no drugs… Get Jerry back in here…”

Gate

Kale watched as Devon knelt down for a closer inspection of the device attached to the gate and then he heard Jerry say "Good job Ash. Glad to see you were paying attention to your surroundings. Give Devon whatever help he needs and be very careful. If you need me I'll be back interrogating our spy." Kale replied with "Thank you Sir, I will assist as much as I can, and I will contact you when we figure this out".

Kale watched Jerry leave the Gate heading back to the holding cell to get some information out of the prisoner as well as watching the surroundings to keep the area secure, kneeling down next to Devon, Kale asked "So what's the plan of attack here??" then thought "oh crap, I hope we can get this situation sorted out soon"..

Kale then got up and grabbed some pliers out of his backpack, as he always carries a pair in case he needs to do some repair work as well as modifications to the teams radios if needed, other repair tools he has in his pack also include a pair of side-cutters, a few screwdrivers, a portable gas soldering iron as well as a powered Soldering iron in case they are near a power source that is compatible with the iron like a Naquadah Generator, multiple connectors wires and other necessitates. Kale handed Devon the pliers and said "here you can use these, just give them back when you are done as I need to have these with my tools as you may or may not know I am the Team's 'Radio Technician' as well as the base's 'Chief of Communications', and those pliers are part of my Off-World Tool Kit and they maybe needed" after Kale explained his position in the Team as well as the position on the Base to Devon he thought that he would tell Devon just as Chit Chat.

Kale then asked Devon "Is this your first Off-World Mission since coming to the Delian Galaxy??" as he wanted to get to know this member of the Expedition.

Devon knelt down in front of the bomb and looked up at the man named Ash and nodded his thanks as he took the pliers. "I should have a report for you in a few minutes Commander." Devon said he faced the bomb and opened the panel and pulled out a chunk of wires without cutting them and started looking through them he decided he'd try to multi-task, "Yes this would be my first mission upon arriving to Delian." Devon said, "Staff Sergeant Dev at your service."

<tag Ash>

It took a while longer then Devon had thought, it was mostly because the wiring was a bit different, but eventually he had the thing figured out. He stood and smiled. "Ash can I borrow your radio?" Devon asked, "I got an answer for the Commander."

<tag Ash>

Devon took the offered Radio, "Commander I figured this bomb out. It's very similar to the Mark IX the SGC made, albeit it's a bit more complicated but that's the closest equivalent in power and, to a certain degree, design I can come up with that you'd be familiar with." Devon said."I'm fairly confident I can deactivate the bomb without it blowing up sir." Dev said.

Jerry sat in the observation room, listening as Anira spoke. They came two nights ago when we had said our prayers and gone to bed. They took us out, to the forest outside the village, to their campsite… I won’t go into details, let’s just say that it ended with them taking my two daughters away from me, and threaten to do the same to them if I didn’t comply… If I didn’t agree to do as they said

Jerry was surprised to find Anira speaking candidly to Kim, but it was better than taking a chance of killing this woman.

Why not tell us instead of doing their bidding. We could help you save your family. Most of the people I know have fought them, yet they are still here fighting. I understand that having family in their hands makes you play their cards, but there are other ways to overcome this. If you want our help you tell us all you know now. If you don’t, I won’t stop Jerry form doing you serious harm.

Kim was making use of coercion to get the information they needed, and realized his leaving was the best thing he could have done. You want to help me!? Find my children and I’ll help… As it is now I honestly have nothing too loose, and neither have they,” she took a deep breath and looked Kim straight in the eyes with determination in her eyes, “…drugs or no drugs… Get Jerry back in here…

Jerry took that as his cue to re-enter the room and headed out of the observation area and back into the holding cell. Kim, how is everything going?

<Tag Kim>

Anira was staring at him, and Jerry was unable to read her. Anira, are you ready to talk to us? We found the second bomb you planted on the gate.

Anira took a deep breath as Jerry once again stepped in to the room. ‘Okay, this is it, all or nothing…' She fought to keep her face neutral as she spoke though her stomach threatened to rebel any minute of the tension building up inside of her.
“I know that I’m not really in a position to bargain here, but just hear me out anyway,” Anira looked between the other two persons in the room, “I know how to disarm the bomb and I’ll do it without a fight *if you find my children and bring them here safely, I‘m also very much aware of that you probably can use all those drugs you talked about earlier, or maybe even use physical force to try and get your answers, but then keep this in mind. When the Olympians find out that I have failed to do what I came here to do, sabotaging your base, then there is no reason for me to continue to live with my daughters gone… So bottom line, I don’t care if I live or die unless my family is safe here with me…”

Anira sat down on the chair and folded her arms across her chest before looking back up at Garcia.
“The bomb is set to go off at Ambarian sunrise…”

Jerry listened to Anira' offer, and gave it some thought. Since Anira had put her cards on the table, Jerry made the only command decision he could. Anira, we will help you get your children back, but we are going to need coordinates for the Stargate. We also need to have the bomb removed and disarmed. If you take care of the bomb, we will help get your children back.He looked over to the doctor, who was still holding the syringe. Doc, we will not be needing your services. Thank you. As the doctor left the room, Jerry added as an afterthought, Tim, Niko, please meet me outside.

The last left Anira with a look of wonder on her face, as Jerry spoke to thin air and called it by name. Anira, can we call a truce, and be allies?

Jerry opened the door and ushered Anira out, Come on Kim. I think the trouble is over.

When Anira jumped out of her chair and scrambled away, the instincts kicked of the medic kicked in the upper gear if only for a fraction of a second. He got up from the chair he’d been resting in and moved over towards the door but, the voice of Anira in the laud speaker med him stop before he’d made that stupid move to enter the cell.
Tim took some deep, steadying breaths to regain his composure and then walked back and sat down next to Niko to watch the rest of the interrogation.


0958

Leaving the Observation room and getting out in to the fresh air and the warmth of the sun made miracles for his mood. He felt much divided about this; Anira fighting to keep her children well and alive, what mother wouldn’t? And then on the other hand; she’d put all of “their” lives at stake here, she was even ready to sacrifice her own life, if that wasn’t to classify as sort of terrorism, then what?
‘Things are never that black and white now days. I sure hope Garcia knows what he’s doing…’
Tim turned towards Garcia as e stepped out as well and gave him a nod, “Sir?” to let him know he was ready to proceed.

She had heard the door open as she continued to stare at the woman, before breaking her gaze to look at her CO, leaning a bit, “So far so good. I got her opening up as you can see. It’s only a matter of time before she gives us what we need, if we play our cards right.”

She then took a step back and let him take over, since he was the one who had originally started the questioning of the woman. She listened quietly as the Anira spilled out her troubles, and winced a bit. Knowing she had made level of promise, Kim was going to keep it at all cost. Placing a child’s life on a barging like this was over her line of patience’s. Those fools were going to pay.

Lost a bit in her own anger at what this woman was going through, Kim turned and nodded at Jerry, “For now it’s over, but it will be fully over once we find and defuse the second bomb she planted. Till then we just have to be wary.”

Anira slipped a sigh of relief as the “doctor” was send away, maybe this might work out after all? Maybe this wasn’t the end of things...
She looked up at Jerry as they walked out of the building.
“Allies? Well I for sure am willing if you are…” she looked down at the ground and bit her lip for a second before resuming eye contact, giving him a hard look, “but as I said, my children has to be safe back here before I even touch that device…”
Anira let the rest of the sentence hanging in the air, hoping that he would understand that she was dead serious about this and definitely not wanted to risk the lives of her daughters from her own hands, but should do as promised when that time came.
