Prompt me with gen Jonas prompts!

[sg_fignewton]

I hope you're all enjoying this impromptu series as much as I am... :)

Prompt me with gen Jonas prompts! No promises of first come first served, but I hope to do twelve drabbles all together.

ETA: I need two one more for the regular twelve. Prompts, please?

Hmmm... okay a bit obscure here - SG-1 shoulder patch.

:)

I liked this prompt! :)

[sg_fignewton]

Despite being initially reviled as a traitor, Jonas earned a new respect upon his return to Kelowna. His off-world experiences, his role in saving the planet, his appointment as ambassador -- it all combined to make him important. At numerous ceremonies, he received elaborate medals in acknowledgment of his actions.

Jonas didn't like it much, even as he dutifully smiled and nodded. When he got back to his small apartment, he hastily shoved the medals in the back of a drawer. Only one thing remained on display -- his old SG-1 patch, a souvenir from Earth.

That was something that mattered.

I'm still amazed at how likable Jonas became when I finally watched S6, in order.

Now leave me a prompt, won't you? :)

[lolmac]

Actually in outer space for the first time.

[sg_fignewton]

Jonas appreciated Major Carter's smiling understanding of his sheer wonder at new experiences. His first view of Earth from space was no exception.

"It's so lovely," he murmured. "Are all planets so beautiful when they're seen like this?"

She joined him at the viewport and stared down at the mottled blue marble. "I think so," she said softly. "Y'know, the first time I saw this view, we'd just saved the world. We thought we were going to die, but I'd never seen anything so gorgeous in my life."

"Saved the world," Jonas repeated wistfully. That would add beauty to anything.

[lolmac]

Ooo.

I'm so glad you're doing Jonas! The guy gets overlooked (or worse) way too often.

[sg_fignewton]

Thank you! He is amazingly likable, if you can get past the not!Daniel thing. :)

Watching Star Wars with Teal'c.

[sg_fignewton]

"Why the music? Can the characters hear it?"

"They cannot, Jonas Quinn. John Williams' score adds emotional impact for the viewer."

"A few minutes of silence, then, "The Tau'ri don't have lightsabers, right?"

"They do not -- at least, none that work." Teal’c considered. Perhaps he should consult Major Carter about the possibilities.

"So why...?"

"Jonas Quinn," Teal'c said firmly, "Star Wars is a grand story in visual form. I suggest you watch and enjoy."

Jonas dutifully sat back on the couch in the SGC lounge and watched.

Soon, Teal’c was pleased to see his eyes begin to shine.

Hmmm... I must admit that at first I was thinking of an SGU prompt...

So, how about this... What was going through Jonas' mind at that point where he decided to steal the naquadria and gate to Earth? Essentially, what propelled him to proceed with such actions?

[sg_fignewton]

I already touched on that here but I'll give it a try. :)

[11am_street]

Oops! I had a feeling that might be the case. :) I read the one you've already written and it's so well done!

[sg_fignewton]

Jonas watched the angry Tau'ri stalk away. His gaze dropped to the formal letter held in his trembling fingers.

Could O'Neill be right? Would his government really use this tragedy to push for active aggression against other nations?

"It'll never have the effect you're hoping for until you use it at least once."

He'd liked Doctor Jackson. He hated the way his people were blaming him for saving lives.

And yet... what could he do? Alone?

"Just tell the truth."

As a scientist, Jonas had always sought the truth. He didn't know what to do now when it was no longer wanted.

I'm glad you liked the other drabble, too!

[izhilzha]

Rumors--what's scandalous on Kelowna isn't here, or vice versa.

[sg_fignewton]

Jonas positively cringed when he first saw Jack casually bet with Sam. The humans didn't notice, but Teal'c raised an inquiring eyebrow.

Then Jonas practically fled the control room when Walter and Siler bet on a mission by SG-11. After that, Teal'c confronted him and demanded an explanation.

"They were betting," Jonas said in a shocked whisper. "In public!"

"Is betting so scandalous on Kelowna?" Teal'c asked.

Jonas nodded. "It's deviant. No decent person--" He stopped short, flushing.

Teal'c said kindly, "The Tau'ri are many things, Jonas Quinn. But betting notwithstanding, I assure you that they are also decent people."

[flingslass]

OMG, what would Jonas say if he knew Sister John used to go to the TAB (Betting Agency)? "But, but...she's a NUN!!!!"

[sg_fignewton]

It would help if I knew who Sister John was. But glad you liked it anyway. :)
