crossing_lostrpAmi and Scott arrived at the cookfire to find Daniel, Locke, Daisy, Claire, the marshal, and a few others examining the stainless steel sink and other stuff scavenged from the fuselage. Before long Scott caught Daniel's eye. "Question for you," he said vaguely, nodding away from the group.

Date: 2006-03-22 01:06 am (UTC)He was ready to ask her the question that he'd already posed to the others, when Scott indicated that he wished to speak to Daniel alone. With a nod to indicate that he understood, Daniel excused himself from the group discussing the stainless steel sink and stepped away from the throng, assuming that Scott would follow.
He got more than he bargained for. Scott came, with Ami in tow, which made Daniel think that maybe he might just get to ask her the pressing question after all. As soon as he discovered what it was that Scott wanted to talk about. It had to be important, because as near as Daniel could tell, Scott definitely didn't seem to be the type to seek anyone out - anyone other than Ami that was.
(And he doesn't particularly care for my Air Force association either.)
"Something tells me that you're not about to ask me an easy one, like the meaning of life or why are we here, are you?" Daniel asked with a wry grin.
"We already know that," Ami answered without missing a beat, "It's 42."
Daniel stared at her in confusion, dismissing the idea that it was British humor when Scott gave a soft chuckle. Yet another pop culture reference that went clear over Daniel's head, but he was used to it. "All right then, what can I do for you?"

Date: 2006-03-22 01:22 am (UTC)"Ethan is not what he seems. He looked all meek and unsure, but he was annoyed that I was there. Beneath that, he feels possessive of Ami. Possessive as in *ownership.* It was freaking creepy."
[Daniel] Stalker alert! (tag Scott, Ami)
Date: 2006-03-22 01:39 am (UTC)"Did he try anything?" Stupid question, Daniel realized as soon as it left his mouth. Somehow, he doubted that Scott would be standing there having a calm, concerned informative conversation if Ethan had tried something with Scott's girlfriend. He hurried on, "What exactly did he say or do that scared you?"
Ami hesitated, and licked her lips, her gaze almost, but not quite darting to Scott before she spoke. "He didn't, not exactly," Ami said. She drew up into herself, folding her arms across her chest in a protective stance, "It was just that you sometimes get a feeling about people? Haven't you ever just had a gut instinct about someone or something Daniel, that is spot on?"
Years ago, his knee jerk reaction would have been to dismiss it as panic in the face of last night's attack, however, he'd seen too much both on and off of the island - especially off of the island - to discount intuition so easily. Plenty of people had it, and whether it was Jack's, Sam's, Teal'c's or Daniel's, it had saved SG-1's collective asses a number of times over. Maybe Ami was one of the ones who learned to listen to hers.
Daniel turned back to Scott, "Did he give you any indication of what his motivations or intentions might have been?"

Date: 2006-03-22 02:40 am (UTC)He gave a quick glance at the people gathered around the cook fire, under pretense of simply keeping an eye on things and making certain that no one had crept up on them, all the while hoping to catch the eye of someone whom he might be able to subtly communicate to the need to move Ami away from the conversation. However, he had no such luck and after a quick glance up and down the beach for good measure, he returned his full attention to Scott.
"Logical behavior doesn't always figure into the equation where these sorts of personalities are concerned," Daniel pointed out to Scott. "There's nothing saying that you weren't right to worry about that."
Out of the corner of his eye, Daniel saw Ami flinch just a bit. It was a slight enough movement that if he hadn't been keeping a surreptitious watch on her, he might not have noticed it, but enough to tell him that she was very disturbed by the idea.
(After last night, there's no question as to why.)
Scott's comment was a good enough lead in to the question that Daniel wanted to ask at any rate. He looked at Ami, keeping his voice level and calm, "Did they come after you last night, Ami?"
The slight widening of her eyes and stiffening of her shoulders answered the question before she nodded. She surprised him by asking, "Why?"
"I'm trying to assess the camp, figure who they attacked, maybe figure out why," Daniel explained. That was part of the truth at least. He turned back to the subject to the subject of Ethan, addressing Scott again and giving Ami time to calm herself from the apparent tension his question raised in her. "How dangerous do you think he is? Or did you get any indication of that?"
[Scott] Need to know (tag Ami, Daniel, open)
Date: 2006-03-22 03:08 am (UTC)"He's at least dangerous in that he's an excellent actor. An hour ago I never would have guessed that Ethan was the creepy stalker type. For all we know he could have his sights set on other women, or men, or children." The thought nauseated Scott, and the thought of Ethan laying a finger on Ami made him clench his fist.
/It's all right. He won't get anywhere near me,/ Ami soothed.
Scott gave her a grim smile. /Damn straight./ Turning back to Daniel, he continued, "I don't think Ethan knows that we're on to him. We need to watch him. Find out if he's just a harmless weirdo or would actually hurt someone."
[Daniel] Need to know (tag Ami, Scott, open)
Date: 2006-03-22 03:30 am (UTC)(And if anyone had ever told me even a week ago that I would be seeking a psychic opinion, I would have at least given them a funny look,) Daniel thought.
For a brief moment, Daniel considered telling Scott about the list. Then he decided that telling the man that his girlfriend's name was on a list of unknown origin after discovering that she was the target of a stalker was probably not the wisest idea. He may have no choice later, but until he reviewed the list with a few other people, he wasn't going to share it with the general public. Even if the general public had psychics among them. (Or at least one psychic.)
"I don't want to create a panic," Daniel agreed, "And we certainly don't want to do anything that will spoke him or cause him to do something dangerous and stupid. I'll mention it to a few people, and we'll keep an eye on him." He paused and looked at Ami, "You might want to mention it to a few of your friends, as well, the ones you can trust to keep it low key and not do anything to spook him.
"In the interim, I think that given this news, we're going to have to go beyond the 'buddy system' and do more of a 'quad system' for forays into the jungle. That should at least prevent Ethan from getting anyone alone, and from disabling one person and still having an advantage over another."
Daniel racked his brain for a moment, trying to figure out if there was anyone in the camp who might be able to do recon and size Ethan up, but came up empty. Clarice wasn't up to it, and Ripley would scare the hell out of him. He couldn't think of any women he'd ask to put themselves in the possible line of danger; he'd have to poke around about that later.
"Scott, can you please let me know if you pick up anything else?"
[Scott] Need to know (tag Ami, Daniel, open)
Date: 2006-03-22 03:59 am (UTC)Daniel smiled a curt "thank you" and turned back toward the cookfire. "Daniel," Scott managed. The soldier/diplomat/archaeologist/linguist enigma stopped and turned around. "Last night they tried to take... something important to me. It helps me focus." Now that he'd gotten past that part, the rest of his words tumbled out in a rush. "They shouldn't have known about it. They know too much about us. They want more than just the women and children, and I have no idea what." Realizing that his hands were shaking -- from nerves or fear he wasn't sure --, he balled his free hand into a fist and clutched Ami's hand more tightly.
[Ami] Need to know (tag Scott, Daniel, open)
Date: 2006-03-22 04:18 am (UTC)Ami pushed the thought aside and focused on Scott completely. She said and thought, putting as much comfort and calm into the words as she could, "But we know about them now. No matter what they want or what their motivations are, we know about them, right? And that means that we can be ready for them now, we can defend ourselves."
She looked pointedly at Daniel for confirmation and watched his eyes widen as though he was suddenly seeing her for the first time.
(What, does he think that I'm a meek little mouse that hides behind my boyfriend?)
"We sent them running last night," Daniel agreed. "I don't think they were expecting us to put up that much of fight, which is a good thing. And you're right, we can fortify and prepare for them, although it's doubtful that they'll come that way at us again.
"To be honest, this puts things in a new light, and it's not a good one. I haven't had the opportunity to question the prisoners yet, but I think that it's time that happened. Hopefully, they'll give us some information that we need, or explain their motivations."
"But you don't think they will?" Ami asked quietly.
"Let's just say that I've dealt with the type of mindset these people seem to project in the past and I'm not particularly hopeful," Daniel said. He looked at Scott, then back to Ami and she felt his surprise and confusion give way to simple acceptance. She spared an idle moment to wonder what was going on in Daniel's head and then decided that she didn't care. "There's a lot going on and a lot to be figured out. Let me talk to our prisoners and see what I can find out."
"If there was a mole in the camp, they're probably long gone," Ami said.
"You're probably right, but I'd rather remain optimistic."
"Hiding in plain sight?"
Daniel blinked at her and Ami could see him reassessing her and reclassifying her in his head. "Quite possibly." Raking his hand through his hair, Daniel fixed both of them with a steady gaze, "It was a rough night, for everyone. Thank you for telling me that Scott, and for the information about Ethan, but I'm going to give you two a piece of advice that I've been giving a lot of people. Take a few moments and just rest a bit, let yourselves recover.
"I promise I'll keep you abreast of anything that I find out," Daniel said. "But right now, take some downtime, you two."
Ami squeezed Scott's hand, continuing to send empathic waves of comfort and relaxation. "We plan on it."
[Daniel] Need to know (tag Locke, open)
Date: 2006-03-22 03:28 pm (UTC)With a polite "Thank you," and a nod, he headed back to the cook fire where he was met by more than a few curious gazes. Well practiced in ignoring questions that he didn't want to answer, Daniel pretended not to notice the glances and in that way wasn't forced to offer any lies or half-explanations.
"Has anyone figured out how to make this into a stewpot, yet?" Daniel asked.
"Still working on it," John said.
"Well, while we have a few more heads than we probably need pondering out the problem, why don't we talk about those boar pits, John? We can grab Blaise and get you a quick check up from Dr. Pierson." The last was added to appease Daisy who seemed ready to say something about Daniel dragging John away when he was supposed to be resting.
Pierson had already told John to take it easy, and Daniel didn't plan on keeping the man on his feet for very long. However, John was one of the few in the camp with survival skill and a good head on his shoulders. In the absence of Jon and Ripley, it was time to share The List with John, one of the people Daniel added to the list of reliable and trustworthy and knowledgeable.
He met John's eyes and hoped that he communicated that he wanted to talk about more than hunting boar.

Date: 2006-03-22 03:46 pm (UTC)Locke nodded at Daniel, then turned to Daisy. "Take care of things here?"
"Of course," she replied. She stretched up to give him a brief kiss. "Come back soon."
Locke smiled at her with all of the affection he felt for the remarkable woman. "Of course," he echoed. Then he joined Daniel, walking more slowly than he'd like to jostle his head as little as possible. "What is it, Daniel?" he asked quietly.
[Daniel] Subtext (tag Locke, open)
Date: 2006-03-22 03:59 pm (UTC)He looked back and decided to put a little bit more distance between them and the cook fire before sitting down. John had taken a hit to the head and Daniel wasn't stupid. The man did need to take it easy for a few days.
Daniel considered how to tell John about Ethan without betraying Scott's secret and then decided that he would just decline to offer details. John seemed to be a reasonable enough man to accept that. "Scott and Ami were alerting me to a possible problem in the form of Ethan. The man is demonstrating stalker behavior."

Date: 2006-03-22 04:24 pm (UTC)"Wisely, they were concerned that he might have focused the same attention on others in the camp. I'd like to keep an eye on him, but without sounding a general alarm that could make him suspcious or cause him to do something rash."
[Locke] A stalker? (tag Daniel, open)
Date: 2006-03-22 05:57 pm (UTC)Daniel's statement about not revealing the information about Ethan was telling. Perhaps he knew that Ami was telepathic. Locke hadn't forgotten Scott's sprint across the beach to Ami's side that morning. He was certain that Ami communicated telepathically with Scott. The young man might be able to communicate with her as well. Locke wished that Ami and Damon were willing to be more open about their abilities. Silent, long-range communication was an invaluable tatical advantage. Nevertheless, he'd keep their confidence unless there was no other option. The survival of the camp outweighed their secrets in the end.
"I'll help keep an eye on him," Locke replied. "Emerson, Daisy, and George would probably be willing to help as well. They'd be able to observe without alarming Ethan or anyone else." An idea came to Locke. He thought through it before voicing it to Daniel. "Daisy might be able to call Ethan's bluff. She's an actress, and can handle herself in tense situations. We'd have to monitor the situation covertly, of course. Shall I make the suggestion?"
[Daniel] A Grocery List (tag Locke, open)
Date: 2006-03-22 07:58 pm (UTC)"Having more eyes on him will be a help as well, I think, so getting Daisy, George and Emerson to help in that fashion would be good."
Daniel thought about The List in his pocket, and after weighing the pros and cons, decided to share it with John. "John, there's something else. Walt found a list on the beach. I'm not making this general knowledge yet because I don't want to incite a panic, but I do want the people who've been keeping watch and likely will continue to, as well as those who might be called upon to go hunting or to defend hunting and foraging groups to be aware of it.
"I don't know what it means, but I have a sinking suspicion that it's a shopping list."
John stared at him, "A shopping list?"
Daniel reached into his pocket and retrieved the list, handing it to John. "An extremely morbid and worrisome shopping list."
[Locke] A Grocery List (tag Daniel, open)
Date: 2006-03-22 08:42 pm (UTC)"Morbid and worrisome sums it up," Locke said quietly. He read the list twice more, then returned it to Daniel. "This proves that they're after more than the child-bearing women and children. They've clearly either been surveilling us closely or there's a mole. Any idea what the asterisks indicate?"
[Daniel] A Grocery List (tag Locke, open)
Date: 2006-03-22 08:52 pm (UTC)"I would say that they're kids, and Claire is a pretty young and inexperienced woman for all intents and purposes, but Ami's inclusion wipes that theory out. So, no, I don't know what the asteriks mean. I'm hoping that someone will be able to puzzle it out."
(Someone like Clarice when she's back to holding herself together. This sort of thing is right up her alley and in her job description.)
Daniel accepted the list and gave it another read. He blinked when he read the hastily scribbled note at the end - it made sense now in connection with what Scott had said. It probably would have made sense when he spoke to Scott earlier had he truly processed it.
(He said he had technology to heal, maybe that's what it is,) Daniel mused, (Or maybe it does a whole lot more than heal.) Of course if The Others knew Scott had it, and what it did, it implied very close survelliance or a very cunning and devious mole.
(Or telepathy or mind reading of some sort.) Daniel thought back to the woman on the beach last night, the one who spoke in his head and not with her mouth.
"This is probably going to sound completely crazy, John," Daniel said as he returned the list to his pocket. "But on this island, maybe not. Last night, I could have sworn that one of Them talked to me. Telepathically. In my head." Daniel shook his head and rubbed his forehead, "Yeah, I know, the stress is getting to me too."
[Locke] A Grocery List (tag Daniel, open)
Date: 2006-03-22 09:08 pm (UTC)"What?"
"I've encountered telepaths before," Locke continued. "Very rarely, but they exist. If the Others are telepathic, that may explain how they've collected so much information. Particularly the small, silver ball, which I presume is Scott's. He's the only person I can think of who fits the description. If the silver ball is, say, golf ball-sized or smaller, it would be easy to conceal."
[Daniel] The Plot Thickens (tag Locke, open)
Date: 2006-03-22 11:58 pm (UTC)"Because we don't really have enough problems without telepathic Others," Daniel sighed. "And that's not something that we can defend against." He let his attention roam to the two prisoners, "I'm really going to have to interrogate them. Currently, I'm hoping that letting them stew for a while has made them more receptive to communication and an exchange of information. I'm doubting, however."
He scratched the back of his head, shaking loose sand without a care. If not for the weirdness and the fact that they were effectively stranded, he might have enjoyed the reminder of Abydos. He lowered his voice, quiet and somber, "John, that part about Scott's possession isn't meant to go beyond us. I'll have to remove that from the note before sharing it with anyone else. It was my oversight that you even saw it at all."

Date: 2006-03-23 01:21 am (UTC)Locke studied Daniel for a moment. He was stressed and tired, but he'd taken the notion of telepathic Others in stride. It was time to tell him about the Guardian. "We never got a chance to talk yesterday about the latest appearance of the smoke creature." Daniel regarded him curiously. "I'll cut to the chase. It's telepathic."
"What?" Daniel gaped.
Locke felt bad. He seemed to have a knack for unnerving the usually unflappable soldier. He shrugged. "It communicated with me using thoughts and images. And I'm not telepathic."
Daniel removed his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. "What did it say?"
"It didn't really say anything. At first it was simply curious about me, probably because I wasn't afraid of it." Daniel peered at him skeptically, earning another shrug. "I can't explain why, but I knew it wasn't out for a kill. I asked it why it was here and why it killed the pilot. It didn't really answer the second question. I got the sense that it's a protector, a guardian. Clearly not of us. It's not good or evil, but part of the island. It did warn me that there are dangers on the island. No specifics. I suppose it meant the Others."
[Daniel] The Plot Thickens (tag Locke, open)
Date: 2006-03-23 01:53 am (UTC)"It's a guardian, but it's not protecting us," Daniel repeated more to himself than to John. "I guess we should be glad that it's also not protecting The Others. Of course then that begs the question of what it is protecting."
He didn't expect John to have any answers, and he would have been surprised if the man did. "Funny how the more pieces of the puzzle we get, the harder it gets to put it all together. I am of the opinion that this isn't all random or chance, the who and how and why of it, I don't know, but I'm seriously beginning to feel like a lab rat in a cage."
(Not like I haven't had that feeling before,) Daniel reflected thinking back to the Gamekeeper's "fun."
[Locke] The Plot Thickens (tag Daniel, open)
Date: 2006-03-23 02:32 am (UTC)"How's that, John?"
Daniel's voice was carefully neutral. Either the solider was simply considering his words, or had already dismissed Locke as a madman. Neither possibility changed his reply. "Have you seen the wheelchair in Sawyer's stash?" Daniel nodded. "That was mine."
Re: [Locke] The Plot Thickens (tag Daniel, open)
Date: 2006-03-23 11:07 pm (UTC)"Paralyzed," Locke said simply.
Daniel nodded, expecting a simliar answer and his brain went into science mode, playing over a million different scenarios of how and why such a thing could be possible. In the absence of advanced technology or, what the hell, magical healing powers, a man did not step out of a wheel chair without intervention.
(And who's to say there wasn't intervention?) Daniel's thought teased him.
Although if there was any confirmation that the people on this beach were brought here for a reason or by extraordinary means, then Locke's revelation was it. The only question that Daniel had was a big fat 'why?'
But that answer probably wasn't going to be forthcoming until the camp could be rebuilt, until people felt secure, until they explored the island, until a million other overwhelming things happened.
Amazingly, he didn't think he sounded overwhelmed when he answered Locke, "Then the sooner we figure out why we're here, the sooner we'll be able to leave. But something tells me the finding out is a long way off."

Date: 2006-03-24 12:23 am (UTC)Daniel glanced around the camp, clearly ready to move on to his next self-assigned duty. There was one other thing that Locke needed to mention first. "I believe that Clarice knows that I was paralyzed before arriving here. As far as I know she hasn't said anything, even to me. I'd like to keep this between the three of us. My days of being stared at or pointedly ignored are over."

We can make ourselves sick worrying about what *might* happen *later,* when we get rescued, or we can deal with the here and the now. We have plenty to deal with here and now./
She leaned up and kissed him, pouring as much sympathy and understanding and affection into the kiss that she could, and she was relieved that he at least responded and returned her kiss.

Date: 2006-03-22 10:48 pm (UTC)Before long they'd reached the mouth of the stream and turned to walk along its bank. About fifty feet upstream from the communal swimming hole was a smaller, shallower one. The foliage along the stream banks screened it from the beach and the other swimming hole. Scott stopped, tossed his pack to the ground, then Ami's, and picked her up, ready to jump in the water.

Date: 2006-03-23 12:20 am (UTC)"Wait!" Ami giggled, "In my experience, dry clothes are far easier to remove than wet ones."
"So?" Scott asked and that was all the further warning she got before he jumped into the water. While it was not deep enough to go diving, it was plenty deep enough to create an upward splash wave that drenched them both.
Ami squealed with glee, and then taking advantage of her position in his arms, grabbed him around the back of the head and kissed him quite soundly. She would have kissed him far longer, but she was reminded of their reason for being here - well, one reason for being here and she pulled back, tugging teasingly and playfully on his shirt collar. "Put me down and get rid of this. You stink of fish."
"How do I know that you're not just trying to undress me," Scott mock protested as he slowly, very slowly set her on her feet, allowing her to slide down his body.
Ami hooked her hands under the hem of his shirt and yanked it over his head. /You don't./

Date: 2006-03-23 02:28 am (UTC)When she was with Scott the whole world faded away and disappeared and there was nothing left but the two of them, the center of their very own universe. Ami knew that there had never been a time in her life or a person in her life that made her feel this way, that gave her this sense of perfect completeness and it made her believe that there was some truth to the adage which professed that everyone had a soul mate. Maybe it was foolish romanticism, but she truly believed that Scott was hers.
Making love wasn't only about physical gratification, but there was a deeper joining there, a mental connection that two people could not have made if they were not telepathic. They knew each other more fully than either of them probably could comprehend, and Ami gave herself to him, and to the connection between them, completely.

Eventually though, they realized that they could not escape the real world forever and sated and happy, they focused on actually washing up to return to camp.
Ami sat on the bank in her knickers and bra and worked her hair into a plait down the back of her head while watching Scott carefully shave off the goatee. When he was done, Ami pronounced the results to be quite spectacular and offered compliments in the form of a kiss that came dangerously close to prompting another round had it not been for a much more practical matter rearing its head - namely the growling of both of their stomachs.
The couple dressed and gathering up their belongings, prepared to head back to the real world.
