Athena
|
Athena is a Goa'uld. She has lived for at least two thousand years, and for a time she was on Earth, sparking the myths about the Greek Goddess Athena or possibly using existing Terran mythology to build her reputation. She has had several hosts, including Charlotte Mayfield and Caitlin Todd. For a time she works with and pretends to serve Ba'al, but plans to turn against him. She is a minor Goa'uld, not a System Lord, but seeks to become one.
Historyseeking antebellumAthena possesses former Trust Agent Mayfield in the guise of working for Eric Human and his company Fellow-Marshall Aeronautics around 2005-2006. She tortures and kills former VP of the company, Jamesson. Athena helps Ba'al's plot to bring John Sheppard to Earth by coordinating the kidnappings of NID Agent White and Lance Corporal Snow in February, 2006. Presumably she gives orders to the minor Goa'uld possessing Everett during this time. Athena leads the attack on NCIS HQ, ringing down from Ba'al's ship with Goa'uld host Everett and several Jaffa, to kidnap Director Sheppard and Lt Colonel Sheppard. Ba'al then takes the ship out of Earth orbit, but leaves Athena behind on Earth to clean things up. The plan for her is to take a second Goa'uld ship, an Al'kesh, hidden in California.
Athena is cornered by Agents Gibbs and Todd when they, along with other NCIS Agents and two AR-teams, storm the industrial site which Athena has been using to keep her prisoners and the body of Jamesson. She stuns Gibbs with a zat'nik'tel and is shot by Todd, but quickly takes Todd host (entering through her mouth) and lets her former host Mayfield die. With her new host, she escapes from the eyes of NCIS and SGC for a time as they believe Athena died with Mayfield. She pretends to be Todd and interviews Snow, AR-9 and AR-4 at the hospital in D.C. where Snow is recovering. The marine is supposed to be dead, so Athena arranges a fire at the hospital, going in to personally kill Snow. She is stopped by AR-9 and AR-4, and she stabs MacGrimmon with a knife before making her escape. Athena, as Todd, then hunted across a few U.S. states, stealing vehicles and also killing three civilians when her face appears on TV as a dangerous wanted criminal. Athena is apprehended by Gibbs and a team of SG-marines near the University of Nebraska, and shot by Gibbs though not fatally, and the Prometheus transports them back to the SGC. Athena, Todd and Todd's Dæmon are kept in stasis, the pod lifted from Antarctica a few months earlier, until the Daedalus arrives on Earth from Pegasus. Athena is then extracted using Asgard beaming technology and killed. Todd wakes up as herself. |
