Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator, and vanished.

He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al; an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so, Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap, will be the leap home...

Dr. Sam Beckett should be used to this by now, but with each leap he still felt the sudden unfamiliarity of a place and the people around him. It could be a bit disorientating. At least he was sitting down. Looking at the new situation, he found that he was wearing a pair of blue fatigues and round glasses. He was sitting at a table in some type of conference room. To one side of the room there stood an America flag and the flag of the United States Air Force. He looked up toward the front of the business type room at the pretty blonde woman who seemed to be holding a meeting of some kind. Sitting next to him was a big dark skinned man with a funny gold tattoo on his head. Across the table was a brown haired military man who was absentmindedly playing with a pencil. All three seemed to be wearing a similar outfit, blue fatigues and a black shirt. At the head of the table sat a bald man in an Air Force General's uniform. The blonde was speaking and using a pointer to tap something that looked like part of a Star Wars movie. Sam finally tuned in to the last of what the blonde said as she smiled and turned off the projector "Remember, the area near the Stargate on this planet is very difficult ground, so bring your hiking boots." Stargate? Planet! Oh boy!

The General stood "That about wraps it up, folks. Your pre-mission physical is scheduled for 0730, final briefing is at 1000. Dismissed."

As the others in the group stood, Sam Beckett sat in disbelief, trying to make sense of what he had just been told. The fact that the Air Force was involved hinted that what he had just heard was not a joke.

"Sam! There you are." Al, the project observer, stepped into view. His bright green suit and the colorful handlink looked slightly out of place in the professional gray room.

"Al! What's going on? " Sam whispered so as not to get pegged for insane, as so often happens.

Al started talking right away, spouting off information "Sam, your name is Dr. Daniel Jackson. You have several degrees in archeology, linguistics ect. You are currently in a top secret facility in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado. Today is Wednesday, November 12, 1997 approximately 2123. That's all we know from Dr. Jackson. Ziggy is still trying to sort through data, most if not all of its classified. I'll probably have to sell my soul to the government to get the information."

Sam's reply was lost as the brown haired man turned and said "Hey, Danny. Do you still want a ride home? 'Cuz the O'Neill taxi service is leaving. Doc Fraiser ordered us to get a full night's sleep and you know how much I love listening to the Doc."

Al explained "I think this is Col. Jack O'Neill. He's the leader of your team. Which I'm still trying to figure out."

Sam stuttered, trying to decide "Umm, sure...just a second...I have to...umm...you know..."

Col. Jack O'Neill turned on his heel and said "Make it snappy. I have a date with my couch and a rerun of The Simpsons tonight."

Al continued "General George Hammond is the commanding officer of this facility. The tall one is Teal'c, strange name. And the lovely blonde is Capt. Samantha Carter. Don't get too confused, she goes by Sam too."

Sam made his way down the hall. This place was like a maze. Instead of wandering around, he decided to turn around and follow the O'Neill character, who hopefully would drop him off at Jackson's home. A decent night's sleep and a explanation from Al would clear his head. Trying to grab O'Neill's attention, he shouted down the hall "Hey, Colonel!"

"Colonel? Are you okay, Daniel?"

"Oh, yeah, sorry Jack."

"Sam, thats all the information we have for now. I'm going back to see if we can get into those classified files. I'll get back to you with the information later." Al opened the imagine chamber door and then was gone.

Review please. You would make my day! :)
