O'Boy!
General Jack O'Neill was very busy these days. He had a base to run now, but on top of that he had to help coordinate the expedition to Atlantis that Dr. Weir was leading.
He was about to take a break from the mountain of paper work on his desk when a file caught his eye. He reached for it and started to open it when there was a knock on the door.
"Hey, you want to join us for a break," Daniel asked as he leaned in to see Jack behind the stacks of folders that were piled everywhere.
Jack thought for a moment and answered, "Sure you betcha. I could always use some pie." So he left the folder on his desk to return to it when got back.

After a nice little break with his old team, Jack was making his way back to the office when the klaxons sounded; followed by the announcement that it was an unscheduled activation.

Two hours later after the minor crisis was over and back in his office, Jack noticed the file still where he left it. It was for a Major Jonathan Shepherd.
He opened it up and noticed the parent's name. He normally would look at the last posting before the personal information but something just pushed at his psychi. There under birth mother was the name 'Lydia James Shepherd'. "Lydia James…I had not heard that name since…" Jack thought. "Damn!" He exclaimed and grabbed the phone to request more information on her, ASAP.
O
Jack stared at the computer screen and could not comprehend the information that was sent him on Lydia James Shepherd. "No. It is not possible," he thought. "No!" He kept saying to himself, but the tingling and numbing in his extremities were telling him it was correct. Jack sat there and tried to think of something that could help validate the findings. The only possible way is to get it tested and that should be simple enough. He reached for the phone one more time to talk to the new CMO.

"I am positive, it is a match," stated Dr. Brightman.
"Thank you Doctor, dismissed," Jack said as he leaned back in his chair to reminisce.
