Dr. Daniel Jackson

The moment Daniel opened his eyes again, he wished he hadn't.

"Oh great," he said, seeing the camp of warriors milling around in front of him. He blinked a couple of times, the wooziness wearing off from whatever they'd stunned him with earlier. He was tied to a tree, his hands bound with rope or a vine or something. And not comfortably, he might add.

The leaders of the group seemed to be arguing about something but Daniel couldn't catch what it was as he was too far away. They were carrying a couple of primitive weapons, machetes and bow and arrows, a couple of blow guns with darts like the one that had taken him out. They were inspecting one of his books and the candy bar he had had on his person at the time.

Daniel hoped they would either keep arguing or at least let him talk to them when they stopped. Otherwise, from their body language, he was assuming that he was going to be welcomed to their village the hard way. It didn't help that a few of the warriors were "warming up" as it were on a nearby tree with their bows and arrows targeting a rather crudely made effigy of a person with a melon for a head...and they had really good aim too.

Daniel tried to move around a bit inconspicously. He hoped that eventually the rest of the team would notice he was missing and come looking for him. If only he could reach his radio...

So we killed off Daniel tonight...again. Bored!verse with Shakarri, she just brought him back to SGC here. I'm sure Mitchell will be thrilled to see her carrying a very dead Jackson in :)

BUT as all this is going on, there's a random IMing convo going on...where SG pups get passed around all in good fun...

( Cut for gratuitus hilarity...and length )

Aquiring a few verses for this muse. Here's a breakdown of them thus far...

Normal: Canon as far as the movie goes. Living at the SGC for awhile, helping out with missions. His wife Sha'uri is still alive and well on Abydos. Can interact with variety of Stargate characters.

Redux: Working with sgmitchell and shakarri at the SGC. When Daniel accidentally touches off a security device in an inscribed rock, he ends up unconscious and blind. After he recovers, they are looking for a cure to restore his sight. Currently on a mission to the planet where the rock was discovered, M9-beta.

Bored: Daniel and anyone else just making something up as they go. PM me if you would like this done with your muse.

Two Jacksons: It was bound to happen. Stargate Movie Jackson meets SG1 Jackson (sneezing_sg1). Hilarity ensues. Enjoy.

"What do you mean, I can't go?" Daniel couldn't believe his ears. He was sitting in General Hammond's office who had just told him he couldn't go on the mission.
"I mean just that, Dr. Jackson," the General said calmly. "You're still recovering and still unable to see. Quite frankly, you would be a liability to the team. You're out. Colonel Mitchell will brief you on what they find when the team gets back. End of discussion."

It wasn't fair, Daniel was telling himself as he walked his way back to the lab, his hand slightly touching the wall as he walked to the elevators. He should be going, they were going to need a lingustics expert. "Shakarri can go," Hammond had said. "She can read hieroglyphs as well and shows promise as a good ally for our side." Daniel couldn't disagree with that but still...he wanted to go. Reading hieroglyphs was one thing, translation was another. One way or another, he was going to find a way to go on this mission.

A little later...
Mitchell was already doing his pre-mission briefing/peptalk. There was half a dozen soldiers with him and Shakarri. "The planet we are going to is M9 dash beta. The previous mission to it brought back the inscribed rock from a sort of small shrine in a wooded area. We're looking for anything in or around the area that can be connected to that find. The piece they brought back is missing something. It could be a liquid in a bottle like the one found in our piece or it could be something completely different, so keep your eyes open. According to the reports, the planet is inhabited by a race of humanoids who are similar to those living in the middle ages, but don't get cocky. They do have energy weapons at their disposal and are very territorial. Fortunately, the last team got out of there without confrontation. I would appreciate it very much if we can do the same." He turned off the screen behind him that had been showing pictures of the previous mission. "Any questions? No. Ok, gear up everyone. We leave in 10 minutes."

As the soldiers dispersed and suited up in their gear, one extra was suiting up with them. Careful to keep his hat low and follow along with the man in front of him, Daniel was sneaking in on the mission. He followed the sounds of the group, holding his weapon close against the borrowed combat outfit he was wearing.

"Chevron Seven encoded." The stargate popped to life, filling with the etherial blueish wormhole that resembled a sideways gleaming puddle of water. "Good luck," Hammond's voice came from the control room above them. The team moved forward and into the stargate.


Team Muses thus far: shakarri, sgmitchell

*fell asleep waiting for the computer simulations to finish*

*glasses pushed back on forehead, head laying on his arms on top of the desk*

Ok...

So yes, he was glad that he was alive and mostly well. Even if the blindness was taking a bit getting used to.

But now he was just laying there....in bed...with nothing to do. And it was really getting to him. No books to read, no word puzzles...couldn't even do paperwork. It was getting to be more than he could take. All he could do was listen to people coming and going, most of them medical personell that he'd never met before.

"...on duty tonight. I have to watch that Go'auld lady." Daniel could hear a masculine voice saying as two people passed in the hallway. He guessed they were soldiers by the sound of their boots on the floor and what they were talking about. "Shouldn't be a problem, she hasn't really moved from her cot since she got there..." Their voices faded as they moved along.

A plan was hatching in the back of his mind. One couldn't keep a scientist's mind bored for long. He'd already timed the regular medical personell shifts as they came and left. The IV was out of his arm now that he was eating again.

When he was pretty sure he was alone, he carefully got himself out of bed. His legs were still a bit shaky but he wasn't going to back down now. Even if he was caught, he would have done something besides laying there doing nothing. He found his jacket thrown over a chair next to his bed and felt around in the pockets for his ID badge. He felt around carefully till he found the doorway out and made his way down the hall with a hand to the wall.

His timing was good enough, the people who passed were deep in conversation and didn't pay him any attention. Amazingly he made it to the elevator and stepped inside. Someone else was in there already...Daniel kept his head slightly down, trying to hide his white eyes and kept his badge in full view. "Where to, sir?" the young soldier asked.
"Uh, level 16," Daniel said, grateful that he wasn't going to have to push all of the buttons to try and find the right one. He knew he was on level 21 and counted the pings the elevator made till it reached the level to the brig.

Now finding the right cell, that was going to be a challenge.
