Future Past
In the Atlantis gate room, a life pod suddenly appears in front of the Stargate. It is standing up vertically and it is big enough to hold a full grown adult. Alarms go off and the technician announces an unauthorized object has just appeared.
Weir rushes to look outside of her office. As she looks over the balcony, John, Ronon, Lorne, Teyla and a swarm of Marines storm the gate room with firearms aimed and ready. Rodney and Radek quickly walk into the control room.
Slowly, the pod begins to open and a young man in his thirties walks out. He is six feet tall, with black hair, brown eyes and a golden complexion. He also has a different uniform for Atlantis. John sees the young man and his eyes grow wide. He begins to back up and slowly lowers his gun. Ronon, Teyla and Lorne watch the terror in John's eyes.
"Jason?" John asks with confusion in his voice. Every one in earshot quickly looks at John in amazement and shock, the young man included.
The young man smiles as he looks at John, "Hello Father." The surprised looks continue.
John raises his weapon again and he is not amused, "Is this some sick Replicator joke, because I'm not laughing."
"No father, I am real," professes the young man.
"Stop calling me that! How do I know you're not one of them?" John snaps.
The looks they both get go back and forth during the conversation. Elizabeth finally speaks up, "John, can you please tell us what's going on?
The flood of feelings from his dream came rushing in. He fights to believe the young man. He looks at Elizabeth to reply, "I'm not sure."
"Well try," Elizabeth coaches sternly.
"Remember when the Replicators infected me with the nanites and I was in the woods for two days and I said I experience a lifetime during that time?" John continues after Elizabeth nods, "Well during that time I had a wife and two kids. Jason was one of them. He grew up, became a pilot just like me." John stops for a moment and swallows hard. He fights back the tears that wanted to come out. Except for Elizabeth, Ronon, Rodney and maybe Keller, no one knew of this, not even Teyla. He was afraid of Teyla knowing that she was his wife and the feelings he has for her. John struggles to continue, "Well, life seemed pretty perfect. Too perfect and at the end everything was taken away." John looks at the young man. "He looks a lot like him, but unless there is proof. I won't believe it."
Teyla looks to John, Elizabeth and to Ronon. She is completely confused. "Did you know about this?" she questions Ronon quietly. He shrugs his shoulders and doesn't say anything. Teyla now turns her attention on John. "Why have you not said anything about this before?" with a tone of sadness.
John looks at Teyla, but still keeps a corner of his eye on the young man. "It's not something I care to remember. Especially since it wasn't real. John returns his look to the young man. "Can you prove that you're not a Replicator?"
"Yes. Just have Dr. Keller do what ever tests she needs to do," he replies.
"How do you know about Dr. Keller?" Elizabeth asks.
The young man smiles at Elizabeth, "I am from the future and I am hear to help you to defeat the Replicators."
"And how are you suppose to do that?" Rodney asks with a sarcastic tone.
The man looks at Rodney; "In my time you and Dr. Carter use your idea of the changing frequency for the A.R.G.'s to add to the drones."
"Are you saying that Sam and I are together?" Rodney says with a big smile.
"Rodney!" John snaps with a reprimanding tone.
"No Dr. McKay. You and Dr. Carter are not married." The young man smiles briefly as he watches John and Rodney give each other dirty looks, but quickly returns to being serious. "We have also found a way to replicate more drones. You see, during my time the Replicators have almost wiped out most of the Pegasus Galaxy and are already conquering most of Earth and other worlds. Dr. Carter also made this time capsule when we saw that a swarm of Replicators ships were heading towards Atlantis. We hoped that it would work to try to help you prevent this entire event from happening. We can make enough modified drones to support Atlantis and for the Earth's base in Antarctica." John and Elizabeth look at each other with surprise. John wonders if the Replicator got that information when they used the nanites on him.
Elizabeth starts to walk down the stairs and stand in from of the young man, "Well then, let's get you to Dr. Keller and get you checked out."
