TO MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR ALL OF US,
'DR. JACKSON' REFERS TO 'MOVIE DANIEL'. AND 'DANIEL' REFERS TO 'TV DANIEL'
The story titled 'One L or two?' was written to not only see what would happen when both colonels (From the movie and TV show) meet each other. But also to give Fan Fiction readers who have not read the movie based books an idea of what they are missing. Everything written from chapter two on should be considered a 'spoiler' for those books. I just wanted to warn you in case you were planning on purchasing those books. Enjoy!
I originally posted this multi-chapter story nearly a year ago. I took the story down once StarGate SG-1 was cancelled. I mentioned that I may re-post the story if the threatened sequel of the original SatrGate movie was ever done.
The bad news is that it looks as if that movie will never be made. The good news is that I am giving serious thought to writing another story, based on the adventures of a character that only appears in the first chapter of this story.
From the moment that I first created the character of Evil Teal'c, I began thinking of other things to do with him. He was only a plot device for this story, and never intended to be used again.
Well, that has changed.
Before I write the AU adventures of Evil Teal'c, I thought it best to reintroduce him to you, the reader. He only appears in chapter one of this fic. However, if I'm going to repost chapter one, I have to repost the entire story.
So I am
So enjoy.
One L or Two?
Written and created by Ra'Ay'Mond
Chapter Four.
Dr. Barbara Shore, or this version of her, looks as if she can break eight of the Ten Commandments without working up a sweet. She is wearing a green jump suit, which was purposely ordered one size too small.
She steeps up to Col. O'Neal with a walk that would make any monk re-think his vows of celibacy.
She asks the Colonial why he wanted her and her team to come to this lower level storage facility.
She listens politely and quietly as he explains to her about the Quantum Mirror. As she looks at the images of the members of SG-1, she is instantly taken aback by two things. One is the young man with glasses, who bares a remarkable resemblance to her oh so handsome, yet married co-worker, Dr. Jackson. And two, the tall, dark and handsome balled headed linebacker standing next to him.
She then notices that he bares an uncomfortable resemblance to a Horus Guard, with his golden tattooed forehead. She also notices that both of these men are paying way too much attention to her young Abbydonian friend and co-worker, Sha'ri Jackson.
The big guy looks like he's waging a silent, inner war between running for cover, and ripping Sha'uri's throat out.
The other one looks like he's seen a ghost.
None of this has been missed by either Dr. Jackson, or Mrs. Jackson. They are as confused by these on lookers as Dr. Shore is.
Dr. Shore then turns to Col. O'Neil, and without her Texas accent asks, "Colonel O'Neil, we have seen some technologies so advanced they almost appear to be magical. However, a Quantum Mirror? Really colonel, is this some sort of joke colonel?"
Right on que, Colonel O'Neil nods to Colonel O'Neill, who in turn tosses the balled up note with the words, 'This is not a joke' written on toward his end of the mirror.
The Mirror crackles with quantum static as it transports it parcel from one reality to another. It takes less than a second for the message to make the voyage between realities. Once it emerges through the other mirror, it is caught by Colonel Jack O'Neil. He then grins as he hands it to Dr. Shore and says, "It's for you".
Once the doctor unwraps and reads the message, she becomes pale and slightly weak in the knees.
She looks at all of the faces around her. Both on her side of the mirror and those on the other side, and says, "This is…incredible! The Stargates, the anti-gravity engines and the Ring transporters are a wonderment to behold, but this…I don't have the words!"
She then stops and looks at Daniel and says, "So it is all true! You are another, I mean…you are Dr. Daniel Jackson." She then reads the nametag of Col. O'Neill and tells him, "And you are Colonel Jack O'Neill. I understand that there should be some differences between different Quantum realities, but you look nothing like my version of Colonel O'Neil, and you spell your names differently."
At this point Col. O'Neil tells her that the other colonel is in fact a Quantum duplicate of another Colonel Jack O'Neill in their reality. He then whispers something in her ear. When Colonel O'Neill sees this he fidgets a little, turns to Major Carter and says, "He's talking about me again. He's been doing this ever since this damn thing turned on!"
Major Carter shoots her CO a nervous, wide-eyed look. She is about to respond when Dr. Shore turns her Texas accent back on and asks Colonel O'Neill, "Well now. I was wonder'n, colonel, is there a version of me in yo' reality?"
Colonel O'Neill seems to stand a little straighter. His chest sticks out a little further as he answers, "Why yes ma'am. We did have a Dr. Shore during the early stages of the gate program. She is however, no longer a part of the program."
While this is going on Major Samantha Carter is just standing there, waiting for someone to introduce her.
Judging from the way her commanding officer is reacting to the Texas Tease, she's going to have to introduce herself. She's also giving some serious thought to telling her boss, "If you're going to give big red a good bye kiss, please do it out of view of the rest of us."
"Or better yet, get a room!"
Dr. Shore then bats her eyes, and arches her back for effect. She also lowers her voice an octave so that it sounds like a velvet blanket being pulled across a silk bed sheet during a sticky, hot Southern night. She then says tells the colonel, "It's a cry'n shame I can't meet-up with her today. I was wonder'n colonel, does she look anything like me?"
Upon hearing this Colonel O'Neill and almost every man in the room around him says, "No ma'am!"
Samantha Carter, the picture of endurance, looks to the world like one of Botticelli Angels as she politely and quietly smiles through this testosterone soaked scene.
She thinks to her self, Great! It Anise/Freya all over again. This time it's worse. I never thought that the Tok'ra Freya appreciated all of the attention that Anise received from human males. However, this one drinks it up like Manna from heaven.
At first, Sam literally bites her tongue to keep from screaming. That would not work for very long. She soon starts tasting blood, and the pain is almost becoming too much to handle .
She then starts working out the numeric expression of Pi, to as many places past the decimal that she can in her head. This was working out just fine. However, it is taking up more and more of her concentration once she gets several digits into the equation.
She is now worried that someone will suddenly remember that she was in the room. If they asked her a question, she just might not hear it while doing her math meditation.
She mememorized how far she had gotten every 30 seconds, and stopped to listen to what was going on around her.
During one of these breaks, she notices something out of place. She immediately turns to her commanding officer and says, "Excuse me for interrupting sir, but something is wrong here."
Col. O'Neill moves a little closer to his second in command, lowers his voice and says, "Yes Carter, I know. He can be a little annoying, and he has no sense of humor what so ever. But if I can put up with him, so can you." He then turns his head slightly and to give Barbara Shore a little smile.
Col. O'Neil hears only part of what was just said and asks, "Excuse me. Did you say something colonel?"
Sam quickly thinks about the last Pi equation that she was up to. Just visualizing the number helps her relax, and forget about the clash of egos that is going on here. She then tells her boss, "No sir. What I was referring to is the fact that we seem to have audio with this transmission. All the others were video only."
As it slowly dawns on Colonel O'Neill that Sam is correct, Teal'c, without ever taking his eyes off of Sha'ri says, "Major Carter is correct Colonel O'Neill. No sound was transmitted during our previous mirror mission. Nor was one reported during the one that DanielJackson experienced on his own. This does in fact conflict with our current knowledge of the mirrors functioning."
At this point in the conversation Col. O'Neill turns toward Col. O'Neil and says, "I'm sorry, I forgot to formally introduce the members of my team." He turns and points to his right as he says, "This is Major Samantha Carter. Resident genius on all things gate related, and everything else. Dr. Daniel Jackson, whom you already kind of know. And last but not least Teal'c. Former first prime of the false God, Apophasis."
Colonel O'Neil turns towards his left as he introduces the members of his team and expeditionary force. "This is Dr. Barbara Shore. Leader of the technological team. Dr. Jackson, the man who gave humanity the stars."
When Dr. Jackson hears this, he blushes and starts to contradict the colonel's uncharacteristically high praise. Col. O'Neil waves his obvious objections down and continues, "And this is his wife, Mrs. Sha'ri Jackson. She is the leader of the linguistic team." The colonel then turns towards his right and continues, "Also, there is Seventh officer Ankhere. His is an officer of the Setim Military. His people were duped and betrayed by Ra. Then for their reward, they were banished to a planet that was in the middle of an ice age."
The colonel continues, "They soon revolted. Ra then sent Hathor in a fleet of three star ships to quail the rebellion…."
Seventh officer Ankhere then steeps closer to the mirror. He interrupts the colonel and says, "Ra ordered her to pacific my people! That monstrous murdering bitch goddess instead tried to exterminate us! She was later ambushed and poisoned by soldiers of my race!"
As he tells his story, the heckles on the back of his neck, and everywhere else rise. Almost all of his teeth show as he emits a low growl at the end of every sentence.
"We later learned that even Ra had had enough of her. He placed her in a healing sarcophagus. There she has lain for nearly ten thousand years, until Ra's death! She then released a select few of us from our ten thousand year hibernation that Ra imposed upon us as punishment. We were told that Ra had ordered us to help her quail a slave uprising on Earth. She did not how ever inform us about Ra's death. Or, the fact that so much time had passed." He then makes a fist as he approaches the mirror and says,
"If I could, I would dig her up and kill her again!"
When he is through talking, no one says a word for several seconds. He notices the silence and clams down, somewhat as he steps back from the mirror.
Colonel O'Neil, after making sure that normally composed AnKhere has calmed down, introduces Sekhmet, the cat woman and new leader of her sect of warriors. After she killed her sects former leader, once it became clear that he had gone quite mad while fighting a un-provoked, and suicidal war of annihilation with the humans of Earth, and the refuges of Abydos.
SeKhmet, still unaccustomed to speaking on behave of her people, coughs once before speaking.
For a second, Colonel O'Neill thinks about making a hair ball joke.
He decides not to.
SeKhmet then tells of how her people were genetically jump-started by Ra's race, to be used s slaves. Then the great death came. When Ra's race were all dead, her people were slaves no more. After some time, competing sects were formed to fight over the resources and the precious mineral that were left by their former masters.
Under her, her sect agreed to a cease-fire with the Humans, and are working on a peace treaty. And, perhaps even an alliance with the humans of Earth.
SeKhmet then turns to AnKhere and says, "Both my sect and his people are seeking reparations. Both in the form of abandoned technologies and the precious mineral the Ra's race has left through out what is left of there former universal empire."
At this point Colonel O'Neil tells SG-1 in his relaxed, yet authoritative tone, "Yeah, ever since we went public about the Stargate program and defeated Hathor, every one and their mother wants some of the goodies. Every nation on Earth that can launch spacecraft is trying to grab any piece of The Boat of a Million Years. Or as large a chunk of it as they can get. Our allies are demanding that we share any alien technologies that we get a hold of."
"AnKhere's people are taking the US government to the UN World court. Their suing us for ownership of the hidden base that they built to fight Ra over ten thousands years ago. It's smack dab in the middle of the Middle East of all places. The base is right on a border that is disputed by several nations. So of course all of those nations are claming it as their own. And now SeKhmet's people are waiting in line for their piece of the pie."
SeKhmet and AnKhere both turn abruptly toward Colonel O'Neil. They're both glaring at him. He sees this and he sighs before telling them, "And for the record, I understand both of your races reasons for making these requests. G-D knows that your people have been used and abused. Either by Ra's now long dead race, or Ra him self."
"I personally have no problem with you doing anything possible to ensure the survival of your species. Especially since both races have agreed to help us… out there." He ends his speech by gesturing his head toward the ceiling.
Upon hearing this, both SeKhmet and AnKhere nod their heads in agreement, turn back to the mirror, and remain silent.
Dr. Shore then chimes in. Surprisingly enough, she seems to have lost her Southern accent, again, and is speaking in a standard American accent. She asks Sam, "Major Carter, I believe that you where saying that in all other mirror transmissions, you did not have any audio? Do you have any theories as to why we have audio now?
Sam just looks at the mirror, and then back to Dr. Shore and answers, "I wish I could tell you Dr. Shore. The fact of the matter is that we sent this device to be reversed engineered. The problem is that we bring so many devices and artifacts from other worlds back to Earth, the mirror was put to the back of the to-do list."
"We have no idea what makes this thing tick. And it was more than likely deemed a low priority because it did not really offer any, immediate returns for the effort needed to research it. Also, it is potentially more trouble than it's worth. Yours is only the third reality that we have had prolonged contact with. The first two were with other Earths that had been invaded. The last one had refugees seeking sanctuary."
Just then something clicks in Major Samantha Carters head. She says, "Excuse me Mr. SeKhmet, did you say that Ra's race had a universal empire?"
SeKhmet replies, "Yes Major. Nearly all of it was connected a system of Star gates."
Major Carter eyes open wide as she asks, "How is that possible? In our reality the Stargate system is only in our galaxy. The only gate that we know about in another galaxy is the one that belongs to a friendly race of aliens called the Asguard. To contact their gate we need to use a separate power booster, as well as putting in an eighth gate symbol."
Before Dr. Shore can reply an SF in the door way informs the colonel that General Hammond has just contacted him. He also tells the colonel that the general has just gotten off of the phone with the President. He then tells the colonel that the general wants him to keep the mirror running, and not to destroy it. He has been ordered by the president to try to seek an information and technology exchange with this other Earth. He is on his way down to begin negotiations.
Upon hearing this Dr Shore tells Colonel O'Neil, "You know Colonel, that's not a bad idea."
O'Neil replies, "Yeah, your right, maybe you should contact General West and fill him in on the details, he should be upstairs some where. He ought to be here for this."
Dr. Barbara Shore turns to Sam and says, "Well Major, if this works out, may be we can answer that universal gate system question. As well as figure out how the heck these magic mirrors work. I'll be right back."
Dr. Shore smiles at Sam as she goes to contact the general. Sam happily thinks to herself, OK, maybe I was a little quick to judge her. Well, may be not. She is a super flirt . But she does seem to have an off switch.'
Just when every thing seemed to be going smoothly, Daniel finally seems to come out of his standing coma. He shakes his head a little and blinks several times before telling Sha'ri, "I'm sorry that I was starring at you like that. But you look so much like my dead wife."
Both Sha'ri and Dr. Jackson look at each other in shocked silence.
The only person to utter a word is Colonel Jack O'Neill. And that word is,
"OY!"
To be con't.
End of Chapter three.
More to come.
