Why This Must Be Read: Adrian Sanchez is the most entertaining kind of original character: someone who allows us to see the people we love and know through fresh eyes. You'll be charmed by his confusion and reactions to the situations and the people he meets, and the final line will leave you smiling on his behalf. This is short, sweet, and exactly how I imagine a new civilian at the SGC would discover the amazing new world at his fingertips!
The elevator at the far end of the hall opened and for a minute Sanchez got his hopes up, thinking someone had finally come to get him. No such luck. It was a soldier type—Marine, Air Force, he couldn’t tell the difference. No, not a Marine. This guy had a little more hair than the average Marine. More hair than Sanchez, too, even though the soldier looked a little older.
Leaning his head back against the wall, Sanchez closed his eyes and let himself start to drift off. Just for a moment…. He was so tired.
“Dr. Sanchez?”
Startled, Sanchez banged his head against the wall, and opened his eyes. It was the soldier, sweaty, dirt on his face, and covered with mud. He looked like he’d just come from a battlefield. God knows where he found mud on a base in the middle of a mountain. What did he want? More security checks? Small arms testing? Nothing would surprise him at this point. “Can I help you?” The soldier’s eyebrows went up. He looked like something was funny. Nothing funny here, soldier, just an expert in ancient languages and linguistics going nuts with boredom.
“Well…I hope so.” The soldier reached into a pocket on his pants and pulled out a small stone tablet, still damp with mud. “Can you read this?”
