An Alternate World

Fic: Recruiting NCIS and Criminal Minds

“Did you really just say aliens?” Jethro Gibbs glared at General O’Neill.

Jack sighed in frustration. In theory it had made sense to combine the FBI team and NCIS team in the same meeting. In reality it just meant he had double the amount of interruptions to deal with. Between the questions about why certain people were not invited to the briefing and questions about why he was wasting their time, Jack was about ready to throw in the towel.

Finally Jack turned to Paul Davis. “Show them the videos. I am stepping out for a minute before I strangle someone.”

Jack stepped out of the room and vaguely heard Paul start up the videos introducing the Stargate program and some of the various baddies that they had dealt with.

Eventually Paul stuck his head out the door and gestured for the general to come back. He calmly took his seat and acted like he hadn’t left the room to keep from committing murder.

“What is it you are needing from us?” Aaron Hotchner appeared to be the calmest of everyone that had just been briefed.

“As the program has grown, we have started needing investigators more often. This has been a major issue as we can’t just invite anyone in to some of the scenes. And we have started noticing more crimes committed on Earth using alien technology or involving theft of alien technology.”

“We are working on creating a group of individuals who can handle these cases and also who can go off world and investigate if it becomes necessary. Our largest base outside Colorado is in the Pegasus galaxy and they occasionally need investigators to come in and handle crimes that the senior staff cannot handle.”

Jack nodded at Paul to let him know to hand out the next stack of folders which contained personnel information about Agent Eppes and his teammates. “We have already recruited an FBI team out of California as well as a couple of professors who consult with them. The team is lead by Agent Don Eppes. They have already accepted the assignment and are getting prepared to move to the base we are setting up in Texas.”

Paul took over and finished giving an idea about what their plans were. “There has been talk about preparing the program to go public. Our first priority is getting Homeworld Security set up and running smoothly before that ever happens.”

“We understand that this a big commitment, especially for those of you with families. So you each have a week to decide if you want to join Homeworld. And if you do decide to join, we will work on reading your families in on the project before you are relocated.”

Slowly people began filing out of the room in small groups. Gibbs and Fornell were the first out closely followed by Rossi and Hotchner. The other members of the two teams were slower to leave but eventually Paul and Jack were the only ones left.

Jack sighed and leaned back in his seat. These three teams were either going to get along great or were going to kill each other.

Fic: Recruiting Numb3rs

Fic #3 in Alternate World

General O’Neill and Major Davis stood at the back of the room as their first batch of recruits slowly started entering the conference room that they had taken over. They could easily see that not everyone was happy to be there. But when the FBI director personally requested everyone for this meeting, no one said no.

As everyone started sitting down, Jack ran through a mental checklist of who was supposed to be there. Three Eppes men – check. Super sniper, Ian Edgerton – check. Codependent partners Sinclair and Granger – check. Attitude agent Nikki – check. Super profiler, Megan Reeves – check. Tough as nails, Liz Warner – check. No nonsense agent, Terry Lake – check. Forensics king, Matt Li – check. That took care of all of the FBI agents (past and present) plus two of the civilians. Hopefully the last few people would be here soon.

Just as Jack was about to make Paul hunt them down, four more people walked into the room. A quick glance showed them to be Dr. Mildred Finch, Oswald Kittner (how did this kid even qualify?), Dr. Larry Fleinhardt and Dr. Amita Ramanujan.

As Jack headed to his seat, Paul started handing out the non-disclosure forms.

“Before we can tell you why you were asked to be here, you need to sign these forms. They basically say that if you share what you are about to learn with anyone not read into this program, you will disappear into a dark hole somewhere.”

He saw several people look to Don Eppes before starting to read and sign the paperwork. That did not surprise him as he knew that everyone here looked to Don as their leader. Hopefully things would go smoothly when the others he was recruiting joined the team. He wasn’t in the mood to referee between a bunch of alpha types. There was a reason he was looking forward to getting out of DC.

Once Paul had everyone’s paperwork and had checked it over, Jack leaned forward. “I am in charge of an agency called Homeworld Security. Part of my agency is a section called Stargate Command located in Colorado. The SGC travels through the galaxy through stable wormholes.”

He leaned back in his seat and let Paul hand out the briefing packets that they had put together.

Texas School/Childcare Pics

Childcare/daycare area is going to have so many activities and things to keep the kids busy.

There are not a lot of kids yet so the classrooms are going to be fairly small.

PE area is going to be as unique as the rest of the facilities.

I feel like Jack O’Neill is going to become Uncle Jack to a bunch of kids. He’s going to spoil them rotten.

Workspace in Texas Pics

I feel like a workplace that Jack O’Neill is in charge of putting together will be fun! This is the man who road a bike through the SGC and used the Stargate to play golf. There will be designated workspaces with desks and computers but also places to relax and unwind.

Fic: Getting Ready

Story #2 in Alternate World

Major Paul Davis flipped through the last of the personnel files that General O’Neill had brought back from his meeting with the President. He was looking forward to the changes that were being introduced but had a major concern.

“General, there is one thing that we need to figure out before we can start recruiting anyone.”

Once he had the general’s attention, Paul continued talking. “Several of these people have kids. We need to figure out how we want to handle family of those involved with the SGC and Homeworld.”

Jack leaned back in his chair as he considered what his assistant at Homeworld had said. He knew how important family was and understood that this kind of assignment had the potential to tear apart families. That was not something that he was comfortable with.

“We will need to get approval before moving forward with this but I think we need to account for people bringing their families with them to Texas. That means doctors on staff as well as teachers or childcare experts. And I think we need to allow for spouses and occasionally siblings to be read into the program.”

“Why have them read in? They could simply live in Texas at the base.”

Jack leaned backward and pulled a file off of his desk. He handed it to Paul. “You haven’t met her but this is Rodney McKay’s sister. She was read in when her knowledge started becoming relevant to the work that we are doing. But she was also put in danger due to her involvement with the program. I feel like family of those we want to bring into the program should be aware of what is really going on. They will have to pass the background checks just like anyone else. And we can put them to work in the program. Especially if they have experience in childcare, education or even medical environments. With us starting a brand new base, we are going to need a lot of help with areas that do not necessarily need specialized experience like the investigators will need.”

Paul considered this as he flipped through Jeannie McKay-Miller’s file. They were definitely going to need people for secretarial work and to fill in positions in a medical facility as well as the school or daycare that the general was hinting at.

“You had better get that approved before we start meeting with these people. I don’t want to say something for it to fall through.”

Jack nodded his agreement before picking up his phone. He normally didn’t like dealing with the politics that this type of suggestion would bring but felt it was too important to leave up to someone else.

Fic: Expanding Homeworld Security

Fiction #1 in My Alternate World

Title: Expanding Homeworld Security

“General O’Neill, it is my goal to slowly start introducing the Stargate program to the public. I want us to be in a position that when the program becomes public knowledge, they are not being overwhelmed with new information. I want to start by making Homeworld Security public. We will introduce it as a program invested in worldwide security.”

General Jack O’Neill considered what he was being told and tried to figure out the logistics of making Homeworld Security public. “There are not a lot of us at Homeworld right now. What are we going to do about staffing before it is made public?”

“One of my biggest concerns has been the rise in crimes related to the program. Especially crimes using alien artifacts. We have not had any way to really handle that beyond having senior staff investigate. I want to have part of Homeworld dedicated to investigations. I want this section staffed before we make it public.”

Jack leaned back and studied the President as he considered that idea. “I know a lot of people who will be thrilled to have investigators read in on the program. Do you have people in mind already or do you want me to start a search?”

“I want to pull in several groups of people who are already trained. There are several people from NCIS that I want involved. With the large number of Marines in the program, we should have already had someone read in. And I have two groups of people from the FBI who I believe would work well with the program. I want someone who is experienced with civilian issues and FBI agents seem to fit that requirement nicely. And because there are so many civilians involved with the Stargate program, I want to look at pulling in a few civilians who have collaborated with the FBI on investigations. That should help keep a civilian mindset involved at Homeworld Security. I want these people to still be tied to their original agency, so they will be consultants with their original agency. That will allow those from NCIS to still handle issues with Marines without bringing anyone else in.”

Jack started making notes on the notebook that he had neglected until this point. He wrote out a few ideas that he had and questions that he knew would need to be answered. “Where would you want Homeworld located? If we expand like this, we can’t really be centralized in Washington DC. The Stargate program is in Colorado and we have Area 51. We would want investigators to be closer to these locations.”

“Since most of Homeworld will still be classified beyond the small parts we will be making public, I think it needs to be located closer to the SGC. The government owns a little over 100 acres in north Texas that I think we can make work.”

Jack scribbled a note about the location and considered the idea of moving to Texas. He would be glad to get away from all of the politicians. Plus he would be able to visit his friends at the SGC a lot more. He looked up as the President started to get his stuff together.

“When you leave, I want you to take these files with you and review them with Major Davis. These are the personnel files of everyone that I have in mind for the program. I want you to also visit the location in Texas and determine if it can be secured enough for projects relating the SGC to be handled there. I expect you to be ready to start recruiting people to Homeworld within the next month. I do not want to put this off and we need to have as many people in position as possible when we start making this public.”

Jack stood up and saluted his boss. “Yes, sir.”

Welcome!

This is my blog for my Alternate World fanfiction. This will be a crossover with Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Numb3rs, Criminal Minds and NCIS. I may add others down the road but these will be my major characters.

This is an alternate reality so while a lot will be true to their respective worlds, there will be some major differences. A few characters will not appear much if at all. I have reasons for this and would be happy to discuss them with you. The pairings will be the major difference.

I will gladly take advice for my stories but do not be offended if I don’t write your ideas – I have a goal in mind with these stories and do not want to veer away from these goals. I hope you come to love my world as much as I do!
