Author's Very, Very, Very, Very late note: Okay, so I realized that the chapter was waaaaaaay too long and boring considering it was the transcript untranscriptafied…So I did this. Each ep will be in about three to five chapters depending on how I divide it up. There'll be an interlude after every second complete episode. By interlude I mean everything will be completely out of my head.

If you have any desire to yell at me for leaving you all in the lurch with this…My laptop is broken and won't work and I barely get any time on the computer for anything other than school work. I am SOOOOOO sorry about the wait.

Chapter One: COLLATERAL DAMAGE part 1

"And may I now introduce to you, Mr. and Mrs. Cameron Mitchell!"

Their friends and family cheered. "And may I ask, Mrs. Virginia Abydonius, how do you feel about this blessed union?" the man behind the camera asked.

"Well, for starters, hallelujah! I never thought I'd live to see Carolyn get married for love. Well, that said, if you, Cameron Mitchell, hurt her—you are a very, very, very dead man."

"Take that seriously," Bobby said, turning the camera to himself. He turned it back around and moved away from his sister. He scanned the room, and headed towards the bride and groom.

Cam's grandmother had taken a hold of one of Carolyn's hands and was praising her grandson. Carolyn smiled happily the whole time, half tuning her new grandmother-in-law out, but listening none the less.

Carolyn's mother had stolen Cam and was lecturing him while Landry looked on a smile on his face, obviously enjoying his son-in-law's torture.

"Excuse me," Bobby said, aiming his camera on the group. "If I may have a word with the bride and groom?"

The others nodded, smiled, and backed off. "So, Cam," Bobby began. "How do you feel about having General Landry as a father-in-law?"

Cam's eyes slowly widened, the color drained from his face, and a horrified expression crossed his features. "Oh God," he whispered, causing his wife to come out in peals of laughter.

"What's so funny?" Landry asked, walking over. Cam gulped and his wife laughed louder. "Obviously something very funny," he said, slightly confused.

"Sir, you'll find out later," Bobby said.

Cam's eyes narrowed. "No, he won't," he said, leaning towards Bobby.

"Uh, yeah he will," Bobby said before ducking away.

"That's what was so funny?" Landry asked.

"Yup," Carolyn said, looking fondly at her husband.

Cam was practically horizontal he had sunk down into the couch so low. "S'not funny," he muttered under his breath as Landry began chuckling.

"Actually, it is," Landry said, "considering I had exactly the same reaction when I married Carolyn's mother. "Granted, it's not exactly the same considering that I'm not like my father-in-law was…"

Carolyn paused the still continuing video and looked at her watch. "Well, I have surgery on Lieutenant Marshall in fifty minutes and SG-1's mission is in twenty."

Landry got up from his seat and smiled at his daughter. "The continuation of this delightful tape later then?" he asked.

Carolyn grinned. "Sure dad," she said.

Landry left the couple's on base room, leaving Carolyn and Cam alone. "S'not funny, you know," Cam said as he sat up straight, wincing a little at the pain in his back.

"Poor baby," Carolyn laughed as she got up. "So, where's the mission to this time?"

"You know those people with the memory devices?" Cam asked as he got up and stretched. When Carolyn nodded, he continued. "This time we get to experience it first hand. Meaning I get to experience it first hand."

Carolyn turned, a frown on her face. "I don't think I like that," she said.

"It's harmless, really," Cam said, pulling her into his arms. When she raised an eyebrow, he sighed. "Okay, it really is harmless. Nothing bad can happen."

Carolyn smiled slightly. "I'll hold you to that," she said.

Images flashed through Cameron Mitchell's mind.

FLASH: A woman at a party smiling at him.

FLASH: Carolyn and him dancing.

FLASH: Moving down a corridor in an apartment, picking up a small statue.

FLASH: The woman kissing him and him pushing her away.

FLASH: Moving through a kitchen.

FLASH: The woman, frightened, and crawling fast across the kitchen floor, trying to get away.

Cam opened his eyes blearily, unable to focus on anything around him.

FLASH: The woman screaming, holding up her hands as she's beaten.

He slowly came to, looking around in confusion. He had no recollection of where he was or how he got there. He brought his hands up to rub his face, but stopped short. "What the…" he murmured, looking at his blood coated hands

FLASH: Hitting the woman repeatedly as she screamed. He dropped the statue, staring at his hands.

He sat up, unsure of what had happened.

There was a knock on the door.

"Open up this door!" someone shouted from outside. Cam looked at the door, confused. The door was forced open as several men entered, pushing Cameron to the ground. "I got him!"

"What the hell is going on?" Cam asked, very, very, very confused.

"Colonel Mitchell," an officer said.

"Yeah…what happened?" he asked as they bound his hands and pulled him to his feet.

"Bring him," the officer said. The others picked him up and followed the officer into the kitchen.

Laying on the floor of the kitchen was a woman's body.

Cam stared down at the lifeless body of the woman—Reya Varrick.

"Oh my God…"

"Colonel Mitchell, I'm placing you under arrest for the murder of Dr. Reya Varrick."

24 HOURS EARLIER

Cam lay in a char, wires attached to his head.

FLASH: Dr. Reya Verrick walked out of her bedroom in her apartment, tying her robe. "Sorry to keep you Emissary, I wasn't expecting anyone," she said.

"Well," Cam said as he stared out the window, "I apologize for coming so late, but the committee just completed its deliberations." He turned and walked over to her.

"You've chosen a new leader for the project," Reya said.

"Yes we have," Cam said, putting down his glass. "Congratulations."

"I'm honored," Reya said.

"We expect great things from you doctor. Along with your new…responsibilities…you will have a higher security clearance. You already know about the ring, of course."

"Yes sir."

"What you don't know, is that we've used it to visit over a dozen inhabited worlds…and there may be thousands more out there."

"My God…"

"As an ambassador to those worlds I've seen first hand the kinds of technologies that exist in the galaxy. Giant ships capable of traveling between the stars, weapons of immeasurable power…Gelar is vulnerable doctor, the project may be our only hope for survival."

"We'll do our best sir…"

Cam jumped up in his seat. Reya was standing by his side, SG-1, Virginia and the Emissary watching from below the platform he was on. "Wow," he said simply. There was no real way to describe what had happened.

"Colonel, how do you feel?" Reya asked.

He turned to her. He was completely lost for words, so he scoured his brain, trying vainly to find a way to effectively describe what he felt. "That's…just weird," he finally got out. She smiled. "I was having a conversation with you…It must have been about a year ago…But we just met yesterday…"

"I was the one who had a conversation with Dr. Varrick," the Emissary said. He walked forward. "What you experienced was my memory."

"That's amazing," Daniel said.

The Emissary grinned. "Oh believe me, Dr. Jackson, this is just the beginning."

"The memory," Reya said as she began to remove the wires attached to Cam's head, "was copied from the Emissary's mind and spliced into yours. Once there, it was incorporated into your conscious like a transplant organ becoming part of a new body."

"I could swear I was there," Cam said with a small grin as he got up and walked over to his teammates. "I don't really know what we were talking about, but we were talking."

Virginia smiled. "Just as long as you're okay…Carolyn would kill me if you weren't okay," she said. "I think Uncle Hank would to just because it would make Carolyn unhappy…"

"Of course this is just a small demonstration, we're still perfecting the process but we believe eventually the device will become an invaluable educational tool," Reya said, effectively ignoring Virginia.

"Imagine…Your most brilliant surgeons or engineers instantaneously transferring the full memory of their education and experience to young students…You could conceivably cut their training time from years to mere weeks," the Emissary said.

"Wow," Virginia said, not quite sure whether that was a 'Wow that's so amazing!' or a 'Wow that's not so amazing!' She decided it was a mix of each while Daniel frowned, obviously leaning towards the 'Wow that's not so amazing!' line of thought.

"And you say you adapted this technology from a Goa'uld memory device," Sam said a little warily.

"That's correct," Reya said.

"Uh, if you don't mind our asking, where did you get your hands on one?" Daniel asked, still frowning slightly.

"This planet has been under the protection of the Asguard for many generations, but it was originally occupied by the Goa'uld. That device was discovered by archeologists over 100 years ago, but it wasn't until our understanding of the technology advanced to the point where we could create the memory transfer. It was Dr. Varrick who made the final breakthrough," the Emissary said proudly, smiling at Reya.

"The Emissary is exaggerating, I was just the last in a long line of scientists working on the project," Reya said.

"The last is the one who gets it right," Cam said. She grinned and Sam, Daniel, and Virginia all raised an eyebrow at him. "What?"
