Set sometime between Gemini and Reckoning Part 1

It Goes Wrong

"So this place could be of ancient design?" General Jack O'Neill asked Daniel Jackson during the mission debriefing.

"From what the tablet says yes…Jack we really need to check this place out." Daniel told him earnestly.

"I'm thinking." Jack said annoyed at his bugging.

"Sir, if this place is ancient, who knows what we may find there." Colonel Samantha Carter said, hoping it would sway him.

"Indeed." Teal'c said stoically.

Jack looked at Daniel, and the back at Sam and Teal'c. "Fine." He said giving in. "But I'm going with you." He said getting up off the chair.

SG-1 sent mutual looks of confusion to one another.

"Why?" Daniel asked.

"Because Daniel for all you know you might need someone with the ancient gene." He said as he headed towards his office.

"Doesn't the president need to approve that?" Daniel yelled after him. Through the window Daniel saw Jack pick up the red phone and he rolled his eyes.

Within an hour SG-1 and General O'Neill were packed up and the gate was dialed and they stepped through to a world that looked exactly like every other world they've visited.

"So Jack how's things?" Daniel asked suddenly.

Jack wanted to say they were really crappy considering the woman he loved was engaged to someone else, but he didn't, he couldn't say it with her right there.

"All right, all things considering. The knees are better." Jack said brightly.

"That's good." He said nodding his head. "Desk job starting to get boring?" Daniel asked, already knowing what the answer was going to be.

"Oh yeah." Jack said.

There was silence for a few minutes while they made their way through the forest before Daniel asked "Hey how are the wedding plans coming?"

Sam shifted uncomfortably. "It's good. We haven't set a date yet."

Jack tried not to think of her words, tried not to think that in a couple of months she'd be married. And he'd still be in love with her as ever.

"So where's the structure?" Jack asked.

"It's over…" A sudden light flashed, causing Daniel to stop in his tracks. He glanced around. Sam and Jack were beamed away.

"Jack. Sam. Can you hear me?" Daniel said into his radio. There was only silence.

"This isn't good." Daniel told Teal'c, his voice filled with worry.

"Indeed, it is not. We must return to the SGC." Teal'c said leading the way back to the stargate.

Jack had been beamed away a few times before during a conversation. It never seemed to get old. This time though it wasn't his little buddy Thor, nor was he alone, he thought as he glanced at Sam by his side.

"We're in a Replicator ship." Sam told him.

"Yeah I got that." Jack said.

"I'm not sure who beamed us here sir." Sam said as she looked around.

Suddenly a figure appeared out of the Replicator wall. "Welcome Samantha…General O'Neill."

"It appears to be your evil twin, Carter." He said sarcastically.

Author's Note- Anyone else but me annoyed that we didn't see more of her in Season 8? I only have a general idea of where this is going, so we shall see where it takes us! Thanks for reading and the next chapters will be longer. As always, leave me a review if your so inclined.
