Mitchell inspected the boxes of pizza in front of him with a critical eye.

Lexie rolled her eyes and grabbed a piece of pizza from one of the several boxes, "Don't tell me you don't have pizza where you come from."

"We do, I was just trying to figure out if…"

"I'd poisoned it? No sense in wasting good food."

Daniel took a bite of his pizza as he looked at number of the council's artifacts on the table. "How different are our worlds?"

Willow frowned, "Just don't get pizza sauce on any of the artifacts, Giles hates that. As for how different the worlds are, I'm not sure. As far as I can tell from talking to Samantha, the laws of physics seem to be the same. Or if they are different, we would need an expert in physics on my end to tell the difference."

Carter grinned, "You're pretty good for having only taken high school physics."

Daniel nodded absently, "I meant the history."

Willow shrugged, "It seems rather similar. Though I don't think aliens built the pyramids. However even if they did, I'm not sure we would know they did."

Lexie grinned, "I still think fighting aliens would be sort of neat."

Mitchell nodded, "It has its moments."

Carter snuck another glance at the small computer box that was sitting on the table. Carter had finally had enough with waiting for the girl to talk about how her computer worked. "Where is the screen, or the keyboard for that matter?"

"It has holographic projectors for the screen and sensors for the keys. Either that or you use a data jack."

Carter frowned, "Data jack?"

"It's basically a small interface computer that they install inside your head. It hooks into the part of your brain that controls your senses. In my home world, it allows a person to connect to a number of electronic devices. Basically to jack in, you plug a wire into the external part of the data jack."

Mitchell glanced at Lexie as if she was crazy. "You're head looks rather normal to me."

Lexie shook her head and laughed a touch. "That's because it is."

"So how come you don't have one?"

"How much do you think it costs for major surgery on your head?"

Daniel frowned, "I'm guessing a lot?"

"I found that not having a jack meant I had to work twice as hard on my computer skills. By the time I'd saved up enough credit I'd come to realize I didn't really want them knocking a hole in my head."

Lexie reached over and flipped the switch to turn the computer on. Carter watched as it came online with interest. "Go ahead and use the guest account, it has a more general pattern recognition program for the key strokes than my log in."

Teal'c glanced at Lexie. "You are not from this world?"

Lexie shook her head, "No, I came through a portal a number of years ago."

Carter glanced up from examining the computer. "So there are other devices like the Stargate?"

Lexie shook her head. "Not that I know of."

Daniel frowned, "Then how did you get to this world?"

Lexie grinned, "Magic."

"How many people believe in magic in this world?"

Lexie looked over at Willow for a few seconds before looking back at Daniel. "How many people believe in aliens on your world?"

"Not that many truthfully."

"It's pretty much the same on this world. My home world doesn't have any magic as far as I know."

Mitchell lowered his pizza slice away from his mouth. "So most people don't know about your 'magic'?"

Lexie frowned darkly at Mitchell. "For the last time it's not technology it's magic."

Willow chuckled, "Have you ever seen anyone move things with their minds?"

Daniel nodded, "Yes, though they weren't completely human."

"If it makes you feel better, just consider Lexie's magic as a number of psychic powers."

Carter looked up from reading through the information on Lexie's computer. "So you don't use technology to do your 'magic?'"

"No I don't."

"What about the cloak?"

"I've actually no idea how the cloak was made. But as far as I know it's magic rather than technological."

Mitchell frowned, "So if you have no idea how your technology works, how can you help us?"

Carter pointed to Lexie's computer as they talked. "There are diagrams in here of inventions that our earth isn't even close to inventing yet. Some of these would revolutionize the medical field, to say nothing of tipping the computer field on its head."

Mitchell glanced at Sam before looking back at Willow. "I thought you said the history was much the same?"

Willow chuckled, "The history of my world and your world are pretty similar technology wise. However Lexie comes from a world that is ahead of us technologically."

Lexie smiled, "When I left I decided to take the schematics of most of the old public domain inventions I could find."

Carter blinked, "So all of this is old technology on your world?"

"Other than a number of the computer programs, yes."

Mitchell after finishing his pizza glanced at Carter. "How does that help us?"

"If they are willing to trade, it could prove of great help in advancing our current knowledge or if we were being slightly less than ethical, funding the Stargate program."

"How could that help us? The technology we have gotten from the Goa'uld is much more advanced isn't it?" Mitchell shook his head slightly in confusion.

"From what I can tell, most of it is." She pointed at the computer. "However a great amount of these are only decades ahead of our own technology. Thus it's closer to something we could patent."

Willow chuckled as Carter finished her explanation. "I understand how it would be nice to have your own funding. Lexie do you think you could help them out?"

Lexie grinned, "Alien technology? Well I guess that might be worth something."

Daniel looked up at Lexie, "So you've been patenting your world's tech haven't you?"

"Only a tiny bit here and there where it wouldn't cause damage."

"How can you be sure that it's not going to cause damage to the local culture?"

Mitchell frowned at Daniel, "I don't think now is the time to ask that."

"No, I think now is the perfect time to ask. Why are you so set against us going outside? What are you hiding?"

Lexie sighed, "I don't know for sure what damage it will do to the local cultures but I do try to research it first. If you have to know, the reason we don't want you outside is that you look like military soldiers. You are carrying high powered guns in a country that not only hates guns but has laws against carrying them. We also happen to be in downtown London. We aren't military nor part of the government. We really don't want you getting in trouble and blaming us."

Willow dug her cell phone out of her pocket as it rang. She held up her hand for quiet as she flipped it open and put it to her ear. "Hello." She listened to it for a few seconds and sighed. "Okay, thanks for the information Giles. Can you wait a second?" She pulled the phone away from her ear. "He isn't having much luck finding any records on the Stargate."

Daniel glanced around at the other members of SG-1, "Maybe I could help him if it's not too much trouble."

"That sounds like a great idea. Giles could answer all of your questions about history as well. Just a second and I'll ask." Willow put the phone back to her ear. "Giles what if we send you their historian and linguist?" She smiled at something Giles said. "You take care as well." She closed the phone and put it in her pocket.

"He'll send a car for you."

Mitchell grimaced at the idea of splitting the team up. "Any objections to me tagging along?"

"Other than the fact that you might be bored, go for it."

Teal'c inclined his head, "I will stay here with Carter."

Carter nodded absently still looking through Lexie's computer. "Any information about the whereabouts of the ZPM would help get us back sooner. If not, I believe that we could attempt a stable gate by using electricity to jumpstart the gate. I would rather not have to try it though."

Lexie frowned, "I don't like the idea of you breaking our gate."

Willow shook her finger at Lexie, "It's not our gate, it's Giles'."

"You think he would sell it?"

"I'm not sure, maybe."

Daniel felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise up. He looked around and noticed that both Lexie and Willow had turned in the direction of the entranceway. He only had to wait a few seconds before two people entered the room. At first glance there was nothing strange about them, they were dressed in causal clothes that you could have seen anywhere in the states. Daniel's glance slid off the man carrying a bag and focused on the girl. He had a nagging feeling that there was something strange about her but he couldn't quite place it.

Lexie snarled, "You didn't tell me they were going to be sending him."

The guy smiled, "I'm so happy to meet you oh travelers from another world, I'm Andrew."

The girl smiled, "I'm Fred, the local physics expert."

Daniel frowned still trying to place the sense of strangeness from the girl. "If you're the physics expert what does that make him?"

"The driver, I don't exactly have a license to drive over here."

Andrews's eyes lit up as he noticed Samantha working on Lexie's computer and started heading toward it. "I can help you with that."

Lexie glared at him as her voice took on a chilling tone, "Touch my computer and I'll beat you to death with your arms or worse."

Andrew stopped hesitantly and looked at Lexie, "Rupert Giles told me to help."

"I don't really care what Giles said, if you touch my computer I'll kill you."

Willow took some small measure of pity on Andrew and gestured to the artifacts on the table. "Go head and look through those if you must help."

Andrew closed his mouth and set the bags on the ground before sulkily going over and looking through the artifacts on the table.

Mitchell glanced at Lexie, "Don't like him much I take it?"

"No, he is creepy. Besides that, he tends to crash computers."

Willow glanced nervously at Lexie, "Just remember no killing humans."

"Oh come on, are we sure he is one hundred percent human?"

Willow chuckled as she walked over and picked the bag up off the floor. "More or less sure." She tossed Daniel and Mitchell a shirt. "Here put these on instead of your army shirt and it should be alright. Then we can get out of here before Lexie hurts Andrew."

Daniel takes the shirt and pulls it on after placing his jacket on the back of a chair. "So is she serious about killing him?"

Willow shrugged, "I hope not, we are short watchers as it is."

Fred smiled and looked at Lexie, "You don't mind if I use your computer do you?"

"Go for it; just don't let him use it. Sam, do you mind if I take a look at the DHD?"

"Just don't take it apart."

"I just want to see a sample of the alien technology."

Fred looked up at the Stargate "So this makes a stable wormhole?"

Daniel glanced at Mitchell. "We should go and help Mr. Giles with the research."

Mitchell nodded, "How far away are we going?"

Willow grinned, "It's a just a couple of blocks so your radios will still work."

Mitchell nodded, "Every thirty minutes guys."

"Yes sir, I'll get working on a contingency plan in case it you can't find the ZPM."

Willow glanced over at Andrew. "Let's go now."

Andrew glanced back over his shoulder at Lexie's computer once more before exiting through the door.

Daniel sighed as he watched the people out the window of the council's limo. "It doesn't look much different from our world."

Willow chuckled, "I don't suppose it is much different on the surface."

Daniel glanced at the black window that separated them from Andrew and Mitchell. "Can I ask a question?"

Willow grinned, "I'm not saying I can or will answer it, but go for it."

"I guess I'll start with why did you think I had something to do with magic?"

"You have a lot of personal energy. I guess I just figured that you were some type of magic user."

"If I said that Fred felt weird would you think I'm crazy?"

"Weird how?"

"Just like there is something I should be remembering about her."

"Fred sort of shares her body with Illyria."

"You mean the goddess that Lexie was talking about?"

"More or less yes. When Fred is active she is a very sweet girl. Illyria has little patience for humans so if you value your health be polite."

"But they trade back an forth? How often?"

"For the most part during the day Fred is in control unless there is some threat to her health. During the night Fred rests while Illyria is in control."

"So are they aware of what the other does?"

"Yes, though they don't really understand each other that well. So tell me about this big threat that your world faces."

"Well the Ori are ascended beings that want to rule the galaxy."

"Typical enslave the world plot." Willow smiled as Daniel told stories about his years working for the Stargate program.
