...authors wouldn't do this...
Don't you hate it when an author starts a story, gets you all worried about the characters, and then switches and goes off on some weird tangent about another set of characters? Like, you know that eventually it's going to be connected, but as you're reading it, all you think is, "ARGH! Not NOW!"
Well....
Mwhahhahahahaha.

sg_challenges. As far as I could find out, the "Giant Aliens" were never given a name as a race, so I've taken the liberty here. Thanks go to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Going Back
Nick Ballard waited apprehensively in the Cheyenne Mountain infirmary. His fingers tapped out an offbeat rhythm against his thigh, then switched to a steady drumming against his arm, then switched back again, but there was no appearance by the doctor. What was her name? Lam. Not as pretty as the other one had been, he thought, then shook his head at himself and pushed off the edge of the bed, walking over to examine the contents of a half open supply drawer.
“Mr. Ballard,” Carolyn Lam said as she strode briskly back into the infirmary. Nick slammed the drawer and spun to face her, plastering an innocent smile on his face. Dr. Lam rolled her eyes and glanced briefly down at the clipboard in her hand. “Apparently, the general’s been delayed. Again,” she went on. “But, on a brighter note, I don’t see anything here that would prevent you from going back…according to Dr. Kennar, your psychological profile actually shows a marked improvement. But you knew that, didn’t you?”
Nick smiled a little, pursing his lips thoughtfully. “Well, that’s…encouraging…” he nodded. “But I don’t think I will be returning…”
Dr. Lam’s eyes widened in surprise. “But I thought the Heand specifically asked…”
Nick nodded again. He’d spent nearly eleven years now with the aliens whose world he and SG-1 had encountered on P7X377--a people who, he discovered, called themselves the Heand. The “improvements” Dr. Lam had mentioned in his health were, in fact, the result of certain experiences he had come here to relate to General Landry--and, he’d hoped, to Daniel. But it seemed that Daniel was missing again, and this time the problem was not something as innocuous as his being rendered invisible by Heand technology. To make matters worse, Vala and General O’Neill had disappeared as well, apparently gone off on an unauthorized rescue mission…
“They did,” he said in response to the doctor‘s question, “but my grandson and I have…more catching up to do than ever…”
“I see,” Dr. Lam said with a stiff nod as her father appeared in the doorway. “Going to make up for some lost time, then?”
“Mr. Ballard, I apologize…” Landry said, bustling in hurriedly and extending his hand.
“Quite all right, General Landry,” Nick said as he took the hand Landry offered. Looking back at the doctor again, he shook his head slightly. “Sometimes I think there is no way to make up for time lost. I can’t go back to the past. All I can do is to be here now.”
Well....
